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. A four sport athlete for
Omaha Benson, Brown stroked
a three-run homer in the ninth hr
ning of an inter-city high school
game to overcome a two run defi
cit for a Frank Merriwell finale
The lithe, five foot ten inch
fielder played with the Lexington
team in the Nebraska Independent
League last summer and ended
the campaign with a healthy .350
mark. 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.

he compromised and used both

actually if he really wanted to be

two balls, with both hands simul

ARE YOU METICULOUS about your choice of cigarettes?
Do you want exactly the right taste? Then take a hint
from the Droodle above, titled: Ash tray belonging to
very tidy Lucky smoker. Luckies taste neat and for
excellent reasons. First of alL Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better.
"If 8 Toasted" is the famous Lucky Strike
process that tones up Luckies light,
good-tasting tobacco to make it tasto
even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother.
So enjoy yourself thoroughly whenever
it's light-up time. light up the better
tasting cigarette . . . Lucky Strike.
