Jt will be a battle of lefthanders
this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. when
Coacb Tony Sharpe's Cornhusker
baseball team opens its Big
Seven and home season" against
the Kansas State Wildcats.
Sbarpe has nominated Willie
Greenlaw, junior from Portland,
Maine, to open on the hill for the
Huskers. Greenlaw was one of the
squad's top hurlers last season
when he won four games and lost
two finishing with a sparkling 2.27
tamed run average.
Howeyer Willie found it a little
rough on the Southern tour when
he dropped his only two starts, but
in recent intra-squad( games has
looked much better.
Wildcat Coach Ray Wauthier has
picked Bill Blume to pitch the first
game of the two game series for
his young outfit. Blume, a junior,
transferred to K-State this year
from Hutchinson Juco.
Nebraska will face their Big
Seven opponents with nine right
handed batters. The first confer
to be very interesting as each
coach will field a young club.

OS LOSBROUGH
The spring weather seems to
be favoring the WAA intramurals.
Softball is almost to the finish
with the finals being played Thurs
day afternoon between the Alpha
Xiis and the Kappas. The results
for Tuesday's and Wednesday's
games were the KDs over Towne
Club, 14-2, Newman Club defeat
ing the Chi-O's, 17-0, Alpha Xi's
besting the KD's, 4-3 and the Kap
pas putting down Newman Club,
12-3.
Tennis and badminton are going
along at a high rate and soon
there will be final scores to report
to let you know how the different
teams are doing.
Last week-end I attended the
Orchesis show and from a first
hand account I think all who
helped make this a top-notch per
formance should be highly com
mended.
The talent displayed was well
worth the time and effort put into
this production. Congratulations to
all those involved in the Orchesis
production. '
Coming up the week-end of
April 26 and 27 is the Aquaquette
Show. From an inside source, I
know that it is well on its way to
being the best show yet produced.
One of the outstanding num
bers in the show is "Oklahoma"
with a large number of girls syn
chronizing in a fancy grand
march.
There are many more, but if I
tell you them all you won't have
the fun tf seeing them for your
self. So all I can say is that I
hope to see you at the Coliseum
pool April 26 or 27. You can buy
tickets from any Aquaquette member.
Cornhusker Tennis
Squad Bovjs, 7-0
Falling before the onslaught of
the Washburn tennis team, the
Nebraska netmen bowed to the
visitors from Topeka, Kansas 7-0
on the NU courts.
The Ichabods swept the five
singles events and the two doubles
matches.
George Fisk, the Cornhuskers
number one man fell before the
Washburnites top performer, Tom
Davidson. Davidson, former Mis
souri Valley champion, dropped
the Husker in straight sets of 6-1,
6-L
Art Weaver, who along with Fisk
is a sophomore member of the
squad, bowed to Danny Holcomb
in sets of 6-0, 6-3. Holcomb is the
Kansas state champion.
Washburn's Malcolm Applegale
took the score to 3-0 in favor of
coach George Parker's squad by
downing NU's Brent Donnelson,
6-3, 7-5.
In one of the tighter matches of
the day, WU's Dick Lewis was
forced to go twenty games before
downing Nebraska's John Moran,
11-9, 6-2.
In the final singles match, Al
Ford bowed to Chuck Nelson in
straight sets of 6-1, 6-3.
The Ichabods had little trouble
in sweeping the two doubles match
es. Nelson and Holcomb teamed
up to down the duo of Fisk and
Donnelson, 6-1, 6-1.
The final doubles match saw
Waver and Ford bow to Davidson
and Applegate, 6-2, 6-2.
The loss was the fifth of the year
for coach Ed Higgenbottom's
crew. They have won three. Last
year Nebraska lost to the Wash
burn five by the score of 7-0.
Next match for the Huskers will
be tomorrow when the Nebraskans
host the Kansas Jayhawks. Again
the tennis squad will be facing a
top Kansas tennis player in the
person of Bob Riley.
The next outing after that will be
with Iowa State College on All
Sports Day, April 28.
Three Nebraska thinclads will
head to Lawrence, Kansas this
week-end to participate in the 31st
running of the Kansas Relays.
Larry Smith, senior shot - put
ter and discus thrower from South
Sioux City, will be entered in his
favorite event, the discus.
His best effort of the young out
door season was second place in
the discus at the quadrangular
meet at Oklahoma last week. This
week in practice Smith has been
throwing better than 160 feet.
Bill Hawkins, the sophomore
from Beatrice, will be entered
in the decathlon. His specialty is
the hurdles, but he is also a fine
weight man and broad jumper.
The other member of the. trio
is weight man Ken Reiners. The
190-pound senior from Red Willow
will be competing for the Huskers
in the shot-put. In practice the
husky weight man has thrown the
18-pound ball over 50 feet.
As usual, the home-standing Kan-
' . .
' A-
-II ;-
J'::'
sas Jayhawks will be favored to
win the Relays.
Two reasons why they are fa
vored is their shot -putter, Bill
Nieder and their javelin man, Lev
Bitner.
Nieder holds the distinction of
being only the second man in his
tory to throw the shot over 60 feet.
He performed this feat at the
Texas Relays with a toss of 604.
He is the 1955 NCAA champion.
The only other person to ac
complish this feat will also be
at the KU festival. He is Parry
O'Brien.
The former Southern California
star threw the shot 61J for a
new worlds record. This Nieder
O'Brien duel should prove to be
the highlight of the two-day run
ning. The last -Nebraskan to maka
this mark at the Relays was Don
Cooper. The lanky pole-vaulter
made history by clearing the bar
at better than 15 feet.
Only three champions are ex
pected to successfully defend their
crowns. Besides Nieder in the
weight events, Kansas State's
Gene O'Corner in the 400 yard
hurdles and Jim Podoley in tht
decathlon are expected to regain
their crown.

Timken bearings permit sustained high speeds, make
on-time schedules possible. One reason: they end the

already under way as more and more railroads axe
