Duff Landgren the O QM HJSB w . By Mike Sayre Sports Staff Writer Coach Tony Sharpe's baseball squad will travel to Tulsa Saturday to open the 1964 season. The game is the first of a six-game road swing. Bob Hergenrader, sophomore from Lincoln, will start as pitcher m the opening contest. Only five returning lettermen will be available this season. Dave May, who led the Huskers with a .360 av erage and won the Roy S. Wythers Most Valuable Player trophy last year, will start at first base. Other returning lettermen are outfielder Wally Duff, infielder Ron Douglas, catcher Larry Bornschlegl and pitcher George Landgren. The remaining five positions will be filled by soph mores. The rookies, in addition to Hergenrader, are out fielders Curt Johnson and Gary Tunnison, shortstop John Roux, and Joe Gaughan or Randy Harris, second base Sharpe announced his hatting order for the Tulsa open er would be: Gaughan or Harris, second base; Johnson, centerfield; May, first base; Tunnison, Ieftfield; Born schlegl, catcher; Douglas, third base; Duff, rightfield; Roux, shortstop; and Hergenrader, pitcher. After a six-game road swing, the Huskers will open Big Eight competition against Oklahoma University at Norman April 10 and 11. Then Nebraska will host Kansas University in Lincoln April 17 and 18. The Huskers will seek to improve a 5-15 record and a sixth place standing in Big Eight competition in 1963. "How we do this season depends on how the sopho mores come through," says Coach Tony Sharpe, who has been drilling the baseball squad since December. According to Sharpe, the pitching staff will be the weakest part of the squad. Keith Sieck, Jan Wall and Ron Havekost have all graduated. The trio handled most of the hurling chores last season. This year's returning pitchers threw only 37 2-3 inn ings last year for a 1-3 record. Leading the continget is George Landgren, Jim Karhoff and George Flock. The standout, according to Sharpe, is sophomore hurler Bob Hergenrader. "He's been looking real good for this early in the workouts," says Sharpe. Hergen rader will start at the opener in Tulsa. Also in the running for a starting pitching berth is Tom Larsen, a sophomore with good control and a lot of hop on the ball. Sharpe feels the infield will be "defensively stronger than last year." Dave May. the leading Husker hitter, will start at first. Holding down third base will be Ron Douglas, who switched over from second. Both May and Douglas are seniors. John Roux and Jim Ammerman are competing for the starting shortstop position. Roux probably has the edge due to his better hitting ability. Joe Gaughan, Randy Harris and Rod Beckman are candidates for the second base job. In the outfield only Wally Duff returns. But sopho mores Curt Johnson and Gary Tunnison, a hard-hitting converted third baseman, should be ready to step in. "The outfield will be stronger defensively", says Sharpe. "The hitting may not be too strong out there but last year's outfield only hit about .100 anyway." The hitting compared to last season "is much better than at this time last season," says Sharpe. "If we can play to the best of our ability and get some breaks, we are hoping to be right in the battle for the first division," says Sharpe. On M mnesoia .ias otional Television The Husker-Minnesota Unl versity grid clash on Sept. 26 is slated to be televised na tionally by the National Broadcasting Company. Ada S. Bushnel, TV program director for the television committee of the National Col legiate Athletic Association (NCAA) made the announce ment Sunday.

Pitching Looks Good- Frosh Diamond Team The Roster Nebraska freshman base ball coach Monte Kiffin has trimmed the original 70-man squad down to 36 and expects to cut down to 25 in the near future. "We've got to cut down to a workable number of the best potential varsity players," Kiffin said. "Right now it looks like we have some fine freshman players this spring." Head coach Tony Sharpe echoes Kimn s optimism about the 1964 frosh club. 'Freshman pitching pros pects, both in numbers and ability, are the best we ve had for some time," Sharpe said. Bringing smiles to Kiffin and Sharpe are four hard- throwing righthanders and two promising southpaws. Ton righthanders are Gary Neibauer of Scottsbluff, Don Wilson of Loup City, Bob Stickels of Hastings and Stan Bahnsen of Council Bluffs, la.
