By Hal Brow Oklahoma State, having led all season, needs only one vie tory in its' final series with Missouri, this weekend, to clinch the Big Eight baseball champonship. Nebraska and Iowa State, both have a slim chance to win the title. Oklahoma State has a 15-3 record after dropping two of three games to Iowa State by scores of 4-1 and 9-6. The Cowboys salved the last game of the series 3-0. Grant Halsne, Iowa State righthander, won his seventh game against no losses as the Cyclones won the first game 4-1. Nebraska moved into cont tion with a sweep of their three game series with Okla homa and the benefit of three forfeit victories from Mis souri. The Huskers got some good pitching, timely hitting and some sparkling defensive play to down the Sooners, 4-3, 2-1, and 5-4. Bob Gleason pitched three nit bail for the Huskers as he won his first game of the season against five losses by a 2-1 count in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. The three wins plus the Missouri forfeits moved Ne braska from sixth place with a 3-7 record to second place with a 9-4 mark. Missouri for feited all its games when it was discovered that Outfielder Gene Orf hadn't passed enough hours, the two prevl ous semesters, to make him eligible.

Orf had passed only 22. The forfeits dropped Mis souri into the cellar but they didn't stay there long. They won three games from Col orado by scores of 14-0, 7-6 and 6-0 to move into seventh place ahead of Kansas. Kansas State won their first game of the season by beat ing Kansas 15-11 in the sec ond game of Saturday's doubleheader. The Wildcats dropped the first two games of the series 12-0 and 8-7.

A week ago the Oklahoma State Cowboys were firmly en trenched iri first place and were probably wondering about which hotel they would stay in and what they would do while in Omaha for the College World Series. Their only concern now is how to win one game from Missouri this weekend. One week ago, Nebraska was in sixth place 8'2 games behind the Cowboys' but then things began to happen. Missouri discovered that Gene Orf, an outfielder was ineligible and they forfeited all the games they had won. This gave Nebraska 6-4 record and put them in third place behind the Cowboys and Iowa State. Missouri dropped into the cellar with an 0-9 mark. Oklahoma came to town and the Huskers sent them back to Normaa talking to themselves. Three One-Run Games Coach Tony Sharpe's young charges took three one-run ball games from Oklahoma 4-3, 2-1 and 5-4. The Huskers had to come from behind in all three ball games. In the first game, they tied the score with a single run in the 8th inning and then won on a clutch single by LeRoy Zentic in the bot tom of the 9th. In the second game, they trailed 1-0 after the first inning but scored single runs in the 3rd and 4th to win behind a sparkling three-hitter by Bob Gleason. The Huskers had to go an extra inning to win the last game of the series with Ely Churchich delivering the key blow, a two-run homer over the left field fence. The wins gave Nebraska a 9-4 record and left them with in striking distance of the Cowboys with only three games left for both teams. Oklahoma State has a 15-3 record after losing two of three games to Iowa State. The Cyclones are now 10-5. There are several possibilities in the championship race. Nebraska and Iowa State are both long sho:S but long shots have come through before. If Nebraska wins all three of its pames from Kansas State, then Iowa State would be elimi nated from the race. The only way Nebraska can win is to have Oklahoma State lose all three games to Missouri and the Huskers win all three of their games. Nebraska would then be just per centage points ahead of the Cowboys. The Huskers would still be Vz game behind but the championship is decided on a per centage basis. Coup de Grace This may not be as much of a long shot as it seems. The Tigers could just be riled up enough after dropping into the cellar to come up and deal Oklahoma State the coup de grace. Kansas State won their first game of the year, excluding the Misouri forfeits, when they defeated Kansas 15-11 in the nightcap of their Saturday doubleheader. . Rain could play a very important part in the picture. If Oklahoma State has one game rained out, they would be champions and there would be nothing Nebraska or Iowa could do about it. If Nebraska or Iowa State has a game rained out, they would be immediately eliminated. It is plain to see that Oklahoma State is in the drivers seat and the Huskers and Cyclones must not only win on the field but they must get some cooperation from the weather man. Nebraska played real good ball against Oklahoma on the whole. They made a few mental errors but that is to be ex pected from a sophomore dominated team. They committed only two fielding errors in the three games. 25 Stranded Although they left 25 runners stranded, many of them in scoring position, they came through with the big blow in the clutch when they needed it. Remember, "The game is never over until the last man is out."
