Husker Baseball Team
Could Be Best In Years
By Hal Brora
Although this year's ver
sion of the Nebraska base
ball team could be the best
in many years, they will be
hard-pressed to improve on
last year's record.

Last year's team wasn't
supposed to cause much
trouble in the Big Eight, but
Coach Tony Sharped rew
finished second in the con
ference and compiled an
overall record of 15 wins and
eight losses.
Only two regulars plus two
pitchers are missing from
last year's team which still
had a chance at the cham
pionship going into the final
weekend of action. Oklahoma
State, the NCAA champion,
nosed out the Huskers.
Captain and second base
man Gil Dunne and short
stop Dave Murakami pins
pitchers Bob Gleason and
Dean Flock are the main
losses off last year's club.
Murakami, who set the
league afire early in the sea
son hitting well over .400,
didn't do so weH in the class
room. He finished the sea
son with a .338 mark to lead
the team and was second in
runs batted in with 10. Dunne
hit .215.
Gleason won two while
losing four but compiled a
good earned run average of
2.90. Flock won four and
dropped two decisions with a
1.55 ERA. He led the pitch
ers in strikeouts with 46.

the returnees with Larry
Isaacson, a senior from

shot at an outfield berth.
Nelson hit .210 last year
and I e d the team with' 13

home runs. Zentic tut .206
with two homers and seven
runs batted in. Harris and
Semin alternated in center-
field with Harris being the
better hitter with a mark of
JSZh Semin had a .217 aver
age. !
With Dunne and Murakami
gone, sophomores will prob
ably take up the slack in the
infield. Doug Sieler, a third
baseman last year, will
probably be moved ever to
fill the vacated shortsthop
spot. Sieler hit J2A2 and led
the team with seven base
thefts last spring.
ftaisinger At 1st
Ken Kuisinger, a two-year
letterman, returns at first
base. Ruisinger, a 6-3 senior
from Omaha, had a .260 bat
ting average. He also pitched
11 innings gaining two wins
against no losses with an
ERA of 3.27.
Phil Earth, a sophomore,
is the leading candidate at
thirdbase with Dick Eecher,
a junior from Hastings, push
ing him.
Elmer Takenishi, a sopho
more from Honolulu, will
probably handle the key
stone dhores. Sophomores
Rex Swett and Bill Redmond
have been impressive in
spring .drills and may break
into an infield spot.
Ely Chnrchich returns to
handle the catching chores
and is backed up by Earl
Oltman and sophomore Jim
Ray. Churehich caught near
ly .every game last year
while compiling a 1 aver
age. He led the team in
home runs with three and in
total bases with 3(1.

Recognition in University!
athletics is widespread and
inclusive. Coaches and then
top competitors are well
known over the state and
throughout the nation.
Few people know, howev
er, of these people behind
the scenes who pro ride In
dispensible assistance te the
varsity coach.
Ike Eanscome, assistant
football and track coach for
the Huskers, fits into this
category exactly. Ike joined
the Nebraska coaching staff
twelve years ago with twen
ty years of high school
coaching experience.
Concerning this year's
track team. Ike said, "There
is a lot f improvement in
this year's team. We are
weak in depth but strong in
dividually. Optimistic about
next year's team Ike stated
that the depth will improve
because of this year's fresh
man team. He feels that in
the Conference only the
freshman squad at Kansas
can compare to ours.
Ike's knowledge of track
should be respected. He at
tended school at Hamlin Col
lege in St. Paul, Minn, where
he lettered on three sports,
picking up four monograms
in track. He broad jumped
2211", ran the 440 in :49.i
and served as captain of the
track team for two years.
Ike is well liked by those
with whom he works. One
athlete said, ''Ike is the fel
low to go to when you have
a problem or eed some
help. He has helped keep
many men going when btey
have become discouraged."
Ike said, "The grants-in-aid
thai are given by the
University to the athletes are
a wonderful thing. They help
many boys get an education
that .otherwise they wouldn't
have. A good athlete needs
to be a good scholar.
In accordance with his wn
philosophy Ike has been
helped bv his scholarship.
After graduation at St. Paul,
he attended graduate school
in Minnesota and has re
ceived his Master's of Edu
cation at Nebraska. Ike is
also in charge iof Big Eight
scholastic reports and is re
sponsible for the Husker .eli
gibility records.
Speaking of athletics in
general, Ike said that the
trend here, as in most
schools follows football.
"Football is the sport that
draws athletes.
Ike said that the present
squads are the best he has
seen in his twelve years at
Nebraska. He said that after
we get the athletes we have
to create a desire in them 19
win. That desire, he said,
has to be created in order
for an athlete or a team to
function efficiently. He cited
the Oklahoxaa football game
as an example.
