IP"ft II II II I I IL T.l JLAUllUJ,UJUlg Mil I ITLJ w ma fcVgygy By BRUCE BRUGMANN Sports Editor Don Brown, Husker Third base man currently perched atop the NU hitting parade, has captured the Nebraskan "Star of the Week Award." Brown, cuffing the ball at an unofficial .529 clip, collected four hits in nine times at the plate during the Husker slugging spree with K-State at Manhattan this last weekend. The 20-yeaf-old junior rapped out two singles, a double and a homerun, drove in three runs and scored five more in the double shellacking. Golf Coast Tour Brown's four for nine slate lower ed his average, however. While the Huskers galloped over Gulf Coast opposition on the spring tour, Brown smashed two home runs, three doubles, batted in nine runs and hit safely 14 times during 25 appearances at the plate to compile an astounding .560 aggregate. ' One reason for Brown's superb stickwork is his ability to concen trate either on banging out base! hits or swinging for the fences.' "I usually just try to get on base," he said, "but if I've got that home run feeling I cut loose for the walls." Ninth Inning Homer It was a homerun which gave Don his biggest thrill as a prep star.

He smacked two homers and a brace of singles in his first home game with the Lexington squad. A near letterwinner last year, Brown has been hobbled with in juries during the past three years. As a senior halfback at Benson, he broke a collarbone after the first game and had to sit out the re mainder of the season.
