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.

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
