Staff Sports Writer -When
the baseball team opens
Its 1957 campaign this weekend
Coach Tony Sharpe will be getting
his first look at many of the boys
in actual competition. If the weath
er holds out the Huskers will lock
horns with Kansas State at 3:0Q
Friday on the Nebraska diamond.
- Fourteen members of the squad
mre first year varsity men and to
add to this, the bad weather has
kept them indoors until this week.
Monday Sharpe took the squad out
doors for a long butting drill and
he scheduled an intra-squad game
yesterday afternoon. .
..Pitching is a big question mark
on this year's team. Charles Zieg
enbein and itoger Bottorff are the
only lettermen huVlers returning.
The two southpaws are slated for
a lot of duty along with sophomore
Dwight Siebler. The big righthand
er from Omaha, is scheduled to
start the opener on Friday.
Others slated for hurling duty
are: Bob Gleason, Bob Kremke,
Gene Torczon and Dean Flock.
Gleason and Kremke are both
service vets and may develop fast.
Torczon will do some hurling
again this season while playing in
the outfield and at first base on
other occasions. The Humphrey
junior just missed lettering last
year. Flock could develop although
he has had little experience. Since
these are the opening games of
the season Sharpe will probably
use most of the hurlers in one of
the three games.
The opening infield could change
before game time but right now
two regulars and the same num
ber of vets are scheduled to start.
Weak hitting John Beideck will get
the call at first base. Last year the
slick fielder barely hit his weight,
and if he isn't improved Torczon
or sophomore Al Newbill will get
a chance.
Al Karle again gets the nod at
second although he is getting com
petition from Paul Robinson. Karle
batted in the leadoff spot most of
1956 but he may drop in the order
because of his slow base running
Karle is a fair hitter and lie can
hit to all fields. Robinson trans
ferred from Doane last winter and
is fighting for a position. The Ogal
lala sophomore has been very im
pressive lately. He also plays third
base.
Frank Nappi is scheduled to go
at the hot corner. The football
halfback occasionally hits the long
ball and has a good eye. Robinson
or Jim Kubacki could move in at
third.s

capable of a 4:10 effort, will run

Sevigne "rates him as "poten

ever coached," and the Husker
coach has tutored many runners.
"He's easy to coach,' but you

Vic Basha successfully defended
his Student Union Singles Ping

feating Rom Korsakai in a smart

clean sweeps 6-0, 6-0. Fisk and
Weaver came near a sweep win
ning 6-0, 6-1 and Stitt outclassed
his opponent 6-2, 6-3.
The three doubles teams com
pletely blanked Creighton not al

North, Weaver-Kress and McAfee
Jack Clark.
The matches will be played on
the Husker courts and will start

into the coming match the Corn
buskers have to be favored to pull
through with their second win of
the season.
Jerry Bush's golf squad will be
going to the post for the first time
this year. The team has been ham

it's difficult to4 judge how the
boys are going to be playing their
shots. Monday the team finished

Dunne is slated for duty at short.
The Omaha South lad has good
power for a little man, and has an
excellent arm. Dunne must work
hard' to stay ahead of Kubacki
and Jerry McKay. Kubacki looks
especially good on defense and
McKay appears almost ready to
move in somewhere.
The outfield has Gary Reimers
and Larry Lewis apparently head
ed for good years in center and
right field. Reimers will probably
be Sharpe 's leadoff hitter this sea
son and he covers a lot of ground
in the field. Lewis probably has
the best power of anyone on the
team. Both men are letter win
ners. Torczon, McKay, and Joho4
Douthit are all .bidding for the
left field spot. Torczon wilUprob
ably start there Friday if his foot
is okay. Douthit, a ex-Lincoln Op
timist star, is a hustler who looks
impressive.
Catchers Jim Kane and Milan
Shaw are fighting for the ninth
starting berth. Kane, a letter win
ner, is the better hitter of the two
and Shaw the better receiver.
Shaw caught a few games last sea
son. Sophomores Norman Husa
and LaVern Rogowski are bidding
for a utility job.
Two year veteran Don Erway
will probably be available only for
pinch-hitting duty. His knees con
tinue giving him trouble and he
won't see any more action at least
in the opening games.
These games should be extreme
ly interesting since K-State are
reportedlyimproved over last sea
son. Everyone should make an at
tempt to get out apd see as many
of the contests as possible. They
cost very little and the more en
thusiasm shown by spectators the
harder the players seem to work.
Saturdays doubleheader will
get under way at 1:00.
Don Strasheim, Uiversity assist
ant football coach, will be operated
on Wednesday as a result of leg
injury in the Varsity-Alumni foot
ball game last Saturday.
The former Husker star snapped
a tendon during the All-Sports Day
feature attraction and tests Mon
day showed that he would have to
have surgery.
Strasheim's mishap is the. first
serious injury to occur during the
annual Varsity-Alumni contest.
The Varsity-Alumni tilt resulted
in a victory for Bill Jenning's
Cornhuskers.

World's foremost
designer and builder
of aircraft engines
From its founding in 1925, Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft has been essentially an en
gineering company. Its primary objective
has been the design and development of
new aircraft engines of superior perform
ance and dependability. The guiding
policy has always been, simply, that
technical excellence miist be the para
mount objective, attained through con
stant effort to improve upon the best.
As early as 1928 Pratt & Whitney Air
craft's Wasp engines powered Navy sea
planes which brought back world records
in altitude, range and speed from compe
titions in Switzerland, Germany and
France. The following year, Wasp
powered Army Air Corps airplanes were
flying combat formations at 30,000 feet.
All through the 1930s the power, range
and fuel economy of the Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft Wasp and Hornet engines
were developed, and the engines seasoned
with experience. Wiley Post, the Lind
berghs, Martin and Osa Johnson, Amelia
EarharV Admiral Byrd and Roscoe Tur
ner were among the host of famous pilots
who made aviation history with Wasp
power.
During World War II, 50 percent of
the aircraft powerplants for the Amer
ican air arms were engineered by Pratt
& Whitney Aircraft. Three of the five key
fighter airplanes,, a host of medium and
heavy bombers, and 98 percent, of all fha
military transports used Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft engines.
The postwar development of the J-57
gained the company a position of engi
neering leadership in the jet field. It
powered the first jet aircraft to fly faster
than sound in level flight, and is now
used in six supersonic fighters, three
bombers and the first two American com
mercial jet transports.
Broadly diversified engineering careers ot Pratt & Whitney Aircraft offer truly fine
opportunity for young me n equipped to deal with challenging assignments. You will
' find many answers' to important questions about careers at P & W A irr our informative
booklet, Jet Engineering. For a copy, write to Ar. F. W. Powers, Engineering Department
