Friday, May 21, 1954 THE NEBRASKAN Page 3 Shooting At Sports " .. ,. Geiet's No-Hitter Mes As Semester's hp Thrill By GARY FRANDSEN Sports Editor As we sat back and pounded the old black Underwood for the last time, we tried to recall our biggest thrill during our four months as editor of the one-and-only third page A number of thoughts raced through our mind, but Dick Ge'ler's brilliant 'no-hitter over the .Kansas Jayhawks was by far sports' biggest treat for us. We can atlll see the hefty sophomore southpaw firing a third strike put a bewildered Jay pinch-hitter, little Harold Hlxon, In the late afternoon hours of April 20. That final pitch gave the Husker a tight 1-0 decision over their visiting Big Seven rivals In- one of the best .baseball games ever played on the Nebraska diamond. During our stay, the University got a new athletic director and basketball coach. Bill Orwlg, a member of the University of Michigan, atheltic staff, was named to the directorship and Toledo's Jerry Bush became basketball coach after the resignation of Harry Good. As usual there were disappointments. Nebraska's basketball team raeed to four straight wins in Big Seven competition and looked like they could be going places In the conference raae. But then it happened. The collapse came with the Huskera tasting defeat seven times while managing only one more win. The situation was similar in baseball. The Huskers opened with a successful non-conference trip to the Southwest and a pair of triumphs over Kansas, but hitting the road they suffered four straight setbacks at the hands of Oklahoma and a not-too-strong Kansas State nine. The squad limped through the rest of the schedule, winning twice while bowing four times. With the hiring of Orwlg as athletic director, Nebraska's ath letie success in the Big Seven should improve immensely in time. He's a personable gentleman who should be able to lure the best of the state'fhlgh school stars to the Husker campus. We're hoping for better times for Bill Glassford and his Nebraska football team next fall. The rest of the conference looks exceptionally strong, but after watching the spring play enthusi asm, the Huskers should be an improved aggregation. , In rattling out the last paragraph we would like to extend cur thanks to John Bentley, Jim May, George Paynlch, Bob Serr, Phyl Cast and Mrs. Kellogg for helping us out during the semester. Without them it just couldn't have been done.

He fanned ten of the thirteen men that faced him and only one man, Tom Kidd, reached first base, then on an er ror by third sacker Andy Loehr. The champions played last year under the title of Practical lArts, but had almost the same crew as they annexed their sec ond straight crown, Boich brought his Intramural record to ten wins without a loss in his two-year stint here. He has fanned 105 men during this time and has given up only seven hits while walking 14 men. Only three nights ago the fast-balling chucker twirled a no-hit, no-run game in the City Softball League. Boich fanned the first nine men to face him in the first three in nings while his teammates were scoring all eight of their tallies. The score was deadlocked at 0-0 at the end of the first and then the winners tallied four times in the second and four times In the third. The Phi Epsilon Kappa pitcher limited the champs to five hits with Loehr collecting three-for- three at the plate. Defending champions Colorado and Iowa State are slight favor ites to retain the Big Seven conference tennis and golf championships at Boulder today and Saturday.

The Boulder course is gener ously sprinkled with water haz ards with some deceptively long dry holes tossed in for good measure. It generally proves hard to handle for strangers so the host Buffaloes could. sneak up a notch into first place Sat' urdav. But Iowa State, with las year s co-medaiist Dan juoiy- neaux back, and Oklahoma, run ners-ua in the Colorado College Inivtational at Colorado Springs last weekend, both have finished ahead of Colorado whenever they've met this year.
