The 1953 Independent softball
tournament named its semi-final-Ists
'n three contests Monday
while its counterpart in the fra
ternity division saw two of its
four semi-final outfits named.
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.

teed-off on Newman hurler, Rex

cluding two home runs. 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.

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."
