"We came from behind in four of the games we won," Sharpe poined out, "the boys were really try ing." "Our pitching and fielding looked good for the short time the trip," Sharpe continued. "Of course the boys hit well (they scored 52 runs in the six games) because that's what we concentrate on in doors." Sharpe looks for a balanced Big Eight conference this spring, and thinks any one of several teams could take the title. Nebraska's league sea son begins here Friday and Saturday with three games against Missouri. Pitchers who impressed Sharpe during the southern expedition were right-handers Oil Dunne and Dwight Siebler and southpaw Charley Ziegen bein. Siebler and Ziegenbein both won two games during the southern expedition, and Dunne proved himself an able relief pitcher while picking up one decision. Tony is also counting on sophomore lefty Enlowe Hevner, who was in jured the day before the trip and saw little action. After rain and wet grounds postponed their first game with Tulsa University Satur day, Mar. 29, the Huskers moved on to Texas and on Monday got the season off to a belated but successful start by whitewashing the Uni versity of Houston 6-0. Five Houston errors smoothed the way for the invaders, who collected nine base hits while their three moundsmen Dunne, Siebler, and Bob Glea- son were holding the Cou gars to three singles. Tuesday Nebraska was forced to come from behind to trap the Cougars, 4-3. Again the home team obligingly helped the Huskers, making two fluffs in the last inning to push home the winning run Traveling across town to Rice Institute, the Huskers captured another one-run de cision the next day, outlasting the stubborn Owls in a see saw battle, 7-6, for their third straight victory. Saturday NU had things all its own way against Tulsa, coasting to 18-5 and 13-4 tri umphs in a riotous double header. In the first game, Torczon came to bat seven times and banged out six hits, including a double, a tri ple, and bases-loaded home run to drive in 10 runs. Both games were tight until the clsoing rounds, when the Tul sa defense folded. Nebraska rampaged for 13 runs in the seventh inning of the opener and got 13 more in the last two innings of the nightcap. "Those teams were ahead of us in practice, but they're not up to par this year," Sharpe cautioned. "The B i g Eight is going to be a lot tougher, but we won't roll over and play dead for anyone." Nebraska's track team won their first major track meet last Wednesday by copping the first annual Houston In vitational Track and Field meet at Houston, Texas. The Husker thinclads accumulated 57 points to nose out North Texas State, who had 50 points. They were followed by Houston with 44 points, Tex as A&M with 29, Lamar Tech with 19, East Texas State 18, Southwest Texas 17, Kansas State of Emporia 17, Texas A&I 11, and Texas Southern 8. Keith Gardner was Nebras ka's only first place winner. He won the 120 yard high hurdles in 14.0 seconds. Ken Pollard tied for first in the pole vault with a leap of 14 feet, an individual high for him. The Huskers were hamp ered by an influx of the flu and had eight top point get ters on the sick list. Mike Fleming, one of the flu vic tims, ran a :48.5 quarter on the mile relay team, which ran a 317 to finish second be hind North Texas State. Coach Frank Sevigne said "the boys came back very well after being sick most of the night. I was very happy to win the meet." He went on to say that Gardner's time was "the best I've heard reported in the na tion this year." Although the Huskers were shy of first place winners, they placed in 15 of the meet's 16 events. Here are the results of how the Huskers finished: Javelin Bill Lafluer, 2nd, 184. Shut put Don Olson, 2nd, 47-4V4. Discus Tony Divis, 5th, 144 634. 440 yard relay Nebras ka, 2nd.

Torczon, off to his best start since becoming a regular last year, returns to the NU camp us leading the team in hitting with a towering .556 average on ten hits in 18 times at bat. Included in the ten are two home runs, a triple, a double and six singles. This adds up to 19 total bases and a slug ging percentage of over a thousand. Add to these fig ures 14 runs batted in and you have a pretty fair week's work with the stick for anyone. Last year, Torczon collect ed only 17 hits for the entire season. He had three doubles, no triples and two home runs, f . I k H C3 Imi 3 Torczon good for only 13 runs batted in. His batting average for the season was an anemic .256, so the lanky Humphrey senior is well ahead of his 1957 pace in all departments. Not a man to confine him self to any one position, Torc zon spent time at first base and in the pitcher's box down south, as well as maintaining his regular status as the Huskers' leftfielder. Leftfield is likely to remain his permanent position from now on. Pitching against Houston April 2, he suffered a recurrence of a shoulder twinge which has kept him off the mound since his sopho more year. Judging from the performances of the rest of coach Tony Sharpe's mounds men, he can afford to con centrate on the slugging end of the game. Torczon is a graduate of Humphrey St. Francis high school where he led his mates to two state class C cham pionships his junior and sen ior years. The Humphrey Jun ior Legion club, with Torczon the ace sticker and flinger, also captured the state Class B crown his final year of com petition. When informed of the star award, Torczon was sitting on the rubbing table in the Uni versity field house and train er Paul Schneider was rub bing his shoulders and arms with one of the ointments of the athletic trade. "Me?" he asked, "You gon na give this thing to me? Well, thanks a lot." Schneider remarked caust icly, "You shouldn't have done that. He won't get another hit all year." In spite of this repartee, Torczon was able to slip in enough conversation to s a y that his biggest thrill as a University athlete was the home run he hit in his first time at bat for the Huskers. "I sure hope I can keep going like this," Torczon said. Those homers really felt nice to hit." "Tell him how you stuck your bat out and the pitcher hit it for you, Gene," Schnei der said. "All your hitting is just because you've got a good trainer." There followed more small talk about the baseball team and prospects for the season before the interview came to a close. As I left, Schneider, grinning broadly, yelled, "You jinxed him; he'll never get another hit this season." The Daily Nebraska hopes he gets many more. It ap pears quite likely that he will too.

In Wichita, the Cornhuskers dropped both the golf and ten nis matches to the Kansans, 5-15 in golf, and 1-6 in tennis. Bruce Russel saved the Big Eight squad from a shutout in tennis by outstroking Wich ita's Dick Fitzgerald, 6-1, 6-S. On Tuesday, Nebraska wit nessed another black day. Later in the week in Still water, Oklahoma, the Corn huskers were again defeated by Oklahoma State. The Cow boy golfers trampled the Ne braska team 20-, and in tennis, the net team went down 7-0. This all happened on Wednesday. In Norman, Oklahoma, the Sooner net team defeated the Huskers 6-1; the Sooner golf ers triumphed 20-1. When the team hit Tulsa, the picture brightened for the tennis team. The Cornhuskers defeated the Tulsa team 4-3. The Huskers swept three sin gles and one doubles match. The final doubles match de cided the meet. George Fisk and Bruce Russel came from behind and gave Nebraska its only win, 6-8, 6-4, 6-1. DR. BLOWS DIRECTORY OF MAGICIANS WORLD'S LARGEST DIRECTORY OR. MEYER ELCCH Frosldaat Eastern Magical Society Z40 Rivlnrton Street New York X, N.X. From The Outside by randall lambert A high school sprinter, Stan Rhodes of Glendale, Cali fornia, created pandemonium during a dual track meet when he was timed at 8.6 for the 100-yard dash. The world record is 9.3. Timers locked at each other's watches to confirm their disbelief, but they were in agreement on the time. There was but one thing to do measure the course. It measured only 86 yards. The next day the headline in the city paper read: "Rhodes Wins Blundered Yard Dash." Cultural Exchange In the very near future the United States will be send ing men's and women's basketball teams to Russia, on what the U.S. State Department believes will be one of the most worthwhile goodwill operations of the year. The teams of Russian men and women which will meet the American clubs are operated under state subsidies. We are one of the few remaining nations on the earth today which does not provide regular subsidy for sports. However, there are milions and millions of dollars poured into the government coffers every year through sports. Horse racing alone has produced $260 million in tax revenue in 1957. The government gets even more money yearly from the tax take on admissions to sports events. Two weeks ago the Congress killed by six votes an effort by the California Olympic Commission to secure $4 million for the 1960 winter Olympic games at Squaw Valley. Previ ously, the Congress refused a federal appropriation for staging the 1959 Pan-American games in Cleveland, Ohio. What is needed is a fund set aside for recreational and athletic projects, with money coming from the vast tax rev enues already derived from sports. This might also help the national physical fitness program urged by the president national physical fitness program urged by the President just being talked about. Home Opener Nebraska will face Missouri in the home opener of the baseball season Friday. The Tigers are reputed to be good this year and have done nothing to discourage their backers on a recent southern road trip. This is one way to get the Big Eight baseball season off to a rousing start play one of the conference favoriteB in your first loop series. In the past, there appeared to be little interest in Uni versity baseball even when the Huskers were winning. With prospects growing brighter on Nebraska's Eports scene, how ever, things ought to improve this spring. Here's hoping. CLASSICAL.
