Nine more contests remain in the next six days before the All University champion for this sea ton has been crowned. Defending Independent cham pion Ag Men's Club gained this year's semi-finals with a wild 16-12 victory over Vocational Ed ucation. A pair of eight-run in nings by each team highlighted this fray and held the score knotted at 9-9 before the Ag Men cut loose again in the fifth with seven tallies to clinch the victory. Dick Jiskra, Aggie hurler who pitched a no-hitter last week, was coasting along with a two-hit per formance and a comfortable 9-1 lead at the end of four innings before the Voc-Eds found their range. Six hits and five Ag Men errors made it a new ball game in the top of the fifth as the un derdog Voc-Eds crossed the plate eight times. Four hits were all the winners need in their half of the same frame to put the game on ice.tother hit off Boich Coupled with two errors and two walks, the Ag Men tallied seven runs and then held the losers to three in the sixth to enter the semi-finals. Jiskra surrendered nine safe ties, two each to Leo Johnson and Keith Kreycik while striking out six. Eleven Aggie errors con tributed to a poorly-played af fair. Rodger Bell, hurling for the losers, was touched for 14 hits, in cluding four by right-fielder San der and three by shortstop Neal All-University champions of 1951, Practical Arts, won their fourth of the year and gained a shot at Ag Men in the semi finals of the Independent struggle i with a 16-1 victory over New man uiub behind the two-hit pitching of Arnie Boich. Boich, who ownes a regular season no-hitter in which he struck out 17, was in complete control once again as this time he registered 11 strikeouts. too walks, an error and a single by Catholic Dan Rohan pro duced the only Newmanite tally in the sixth frame.

The. big gest frame for the winners was the third in which they scored six times with the help of six safeties. Four hits each by George Sifra and John Witiuk led the way for the victors, one of Cifra's going the distance. Don Weber also poled a homer for the PA's. Cornhusker Co-op, All-Univer sity champion of 1950, gamed the semi-finals of this year's fratern ity chase with a tight 4-1 deci sion over highly-regarded Sigma Nu. It was the first loss of the year for the Nu's and the fifth straight win for the Cocos. Co-op chucker, Stu Nelson, scattered four singles while al lowing but the single tally in the fifth inning. The victors picked up single runs in the second and third frames and added insurance counters in the sixth. In addition to handling the pitching chores, Nelson led his mates in batting with two of the six hits of Sig Nu Larry Ross and scored two runs. The Lutheran Student Associa tion and Ag Jokers produced the best game of the tourney thus far as the Lutherans advanced to a semi-final match against Navy ROTC by edging the Jokers, 3-1.

Redman-Colson to carry the dou-l M:.-ata : During the entire indoor season the Huskers were being con itantly hampered with injuries. They went to the championships C3 and were figured to be lucky to come out sixth in the seven team race for honors. The Huskers gave the spectators something to talk about when they upset the dope sheets and came in a strong third. Once again the Cornhuskers are facing the same situation. They have been cursed during the outdoor season wilh another plague cf injuries. At different times during the season the Huskers have shown occasional spurts on the track and throughout the indoor and out door competition the fieldmen have definitely kept the Huskers la the contests. The NU men have one more meet before the conference cham pionships later this month at Ames, la. Hobe Jones hts returned to the oval along with Brien Hendriek son. These two boys coupled with the potentially strong hurdlers and a new relay combination could again throw a wrench into the predicters' laps. Coach Ed Weir has been pointing and training his men for this year's meet; therefore don't be surprised if you see scarlet colors in one of the top three slots it the Big Seven championships. Just last week the Huskers came through in spectacular fashion In the field events to almost make-up for the lacking power in the track events. In the final event of the day, the mile relay team Owas unable to keep up with the Missourians and finally were beaten by a few yards at the tape. The contest that was being anticipated in the field events failed to material ize as the Huskers romped in the weights and the other competition. . . ., If the distance runners can just get a little more fire in the ttretch runs, I repeat, "Watch the Cornhuskers at the Conference Meet."
