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.

The new kings started on witn

plate with four markers in tne
initial frame and added six more
tallies in the second..
In the third they scored two
runs and followed with one in the
fifth and final stanza. The Delts

The victors crossed the plate

third stanza the losers pushed
over all four of their tallies on
three hits and two Delta Sig er
rors and a walk to trail.
The Delta Sigs then tallied
twice in the fourth and once in
the fifth innings to wrap it up.
INDUSTRIAL ARTS copped
their second straight Independ
ent softball title with an 8-0 con
quest of Phi Epsilon Kappa. .
Pitcher Arnie Boich twirled his
second no-hit, no-run game of the
year and his fourth in the last
two seasons. 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.
Coach Dick Gray's netters,
who snapped the Oklahoma
Kansas reign in the league last
year, are unbeaten against con
ference opposition with wins
over Kansas, Kansas State, Mis

early-season road trip. p
Chief opposition is expected to
come from Kansas and Okla
homa. But Colorado returns four of
the five men who scored points
last year including Carl Huter,
runnerup in No. 2 singles; Ger

Dan Luna, the No. 4 champ;
and John Browne, runner-up in
No. 5.
