Brown and Coufal . , .
By BOB MAR TEL
Nebraskan Sports Reporter
The Cornhusker baseball squad
is home from their first campaign
of the season in which they won
three games and lost four.
Don Brown and Norm Coufal led
the Nebraska hitters throughout
the trip while Charley Ziegenbein's
5-3 victory over Baylor was the
best Husker pitching performance
of the swing.
In the opening tilt, the Huskers
gained a hard earned 1-0 victory
over Tulsa. " Nebraska scored the
Husker Golf
Saudis Each
Spring vacation produced various
results for most University stu
dents, but for the tennis and golf
teams it produced near-disastrous
trips to the Southwest.
The tennis squad won one out
of five while the golfers won one
out of two dual meets but finished
near the bottom in the 16-field
Southwestern Intercollegiate Golf
Tournament.
The netters started out their
eouthern tour with a victory over
the University of Wichita Shockers
5- 2. They won four of five singles
matches and split the doubles.
At Norman, Oklahoma, the team
met with strong wind, blowing
dust, and a powerful Oklahoma
tennis squad that downed the
Huskers 6-1.
Southern Methodist won its eight
straight shutout victory of the sea
son when they downed the Big Red
6- 0. Nebraska ended the trip by
falling to Southeastern State Col
lege of Oklahoma 4-2 and bowing
to Oklahoma Baptist University
equad 6-1.
George Fisk was the individual
standout on the week-long tour
through the land of year-round
sunshine.

The Huskers next traveled to
Houston and dropped the opener of
a two crame series 3-2. Errors
proved to be the downfall of the
Huskers who outhit Houston seven
to five. Nebraska scored first in
the opening frame when Jim Ku-
backi singled, went to second on
an error and scored on Brown's
single. First baseman John Bei
deck's bases empty home run in
the seventh accounted for the other
Nebraska tally. Geier worked the
first three innings and was the
losing pitcher. Kubacki and Brown
had two hits each for the Huskers.
Houston' swept the series with
a 6-1 win in the second game. The
Texans scored six runs in the
first four frames and coasted to vic
tory. Billy Dube worked the first
eight innings for Houston and
blanked the Huskers. Bill Ledbet
ter took over in the ninth and
served up a home run ball to
pinch hitter Gene Torczon. Starter
Greenlaw was charged with the
defeat. Brown had a double and
two singles and Coufal hit two
singles in three trips to pace the
Nebraskans. "
Nebraska then journeyed across
town and tripped the Rice Owls
8-5 in their series opener. All eight
Nebraska runs were unearned, re
sulting from seven Owl errors.
Right fielder Marv Arensdorf with
three singles and Coufal and Brown
with two each were the leading
Nebraska batters. Torczon who
took over for Ziegenbein in the
fourth was the winner.
Rice came back the next day to
play flawless ball and drop Ne
braska 4-1. Brown's ninth inning
homer accounted for the only Husk
er tally. Geier was tagged with
his second loss of the campaign.
In the sixth game of the south
ern swing, the Baylor Bears piled
up seven runs in the first five
innings to sock the Huskers 9-4.
Nebraska was plagued by shakey
fielding which proved to be their
downfall. Greenlaw was the losing
pitcher while Al Karle led the
Husker batsmen with two singles
in two attempts.
Ziegenbein used his strikeout
pitch in the clutch to give Nebras
ka a split in the Baylor series.
The 5-3 victory can be credited to
the lanky lefty and to shortstop
Coufal.
Bases on balls and wild pitches
kept Ziegenbein in trouble most
of the afternoon, but his ability to
use the strikeout in the clutch kept
him and the Huskers from having
a disastrous afternoon. Norm Cou
fal played one of the better games
of his career. He singled three
times and tripled once in four trips
and handled eight chances with
the poise of a major league veter-

So long, Phog . . .
In a dramatic climax, the dean of American basketball coaches,
Dr. Forest C. Phog Allen, bowed out of the coaching circles after 45
years as a cage mentor.
In a ruling handed down by the University of Kansas, Allen had
reached the manditory retirement age of 70 and could no longer be re
tained in an official capacity.
Allen, knowing full well of the ruling, appealed the decision to the
University regents to give him an extension of one year. But the KU
officials balked and assistant coach Dick Harp was elevated to the
position of head tutor.
Obviously, Allen had on motive in mind. With the coming of Wilt
Chamberlain, KU's highly publicized freshman center, plus a nucleus
of fine returning lettermen, Phog was looking for that last championship.
The result of the debate was this. In Harp, KU has a man who has
actually been running the ball club for the past two or three years.
Kansas has gained a younger prodige of Allen's who has been schooled
in the Kansas style of basketball for many years.
For Harp, it is a promotion that has been coming his way for
many years. The good doctor, Allen, should have bowed out of the
picture in a graceful manner instead of the typical Allen way.
What happened? ...
While the KU decision was the talk of the Midlands, another de
cision became a heated issue of the whole nation. -
Adding more wood to the fire they started by arming ace miler Wes
Santee from ever running as a amatuer again, the AAU put the clamps
on five collegiate cagers who wound up their college play this season.
Darrell Floyd of Furman, Joe Holup of George Washington, Tom
Heinsohn of Holy Cross, Sihugo Green of Duquesne and Julius McCoy
of Michigan State were given the thumbs down sign from the AAU this
week.
Whereas Santee was banned for taking excessive funds, the five
cagers were given the heave-ho for expressing their desire to tour
with the Harlem Globetrotters after the East-West all-star game.
In the eyes of the AAU, this indicated they were professionals.
What puzzles me is why the Union suddenly puts the clamps on these
boys after allowing this so-called violation to go on for four years
hense. Since 1952, many cagers have toured the country with the Globe
trotters. Yet many of them participated in the East-West game.
What puzzles me is where the committee is suddenly finding all
these pros. Another question is why more athletes haven't been put
by the wayside already for violating the amateur code.
I think that an investigation should be conducted within the AAU.
This attempt to clean up the sports scene is turning into more of a
wholesale laundry.
