Page 4 The Daily Nebraskan Friday, April 17, 1964 Thorn) EC y clods Re To cays By Peggy Speece Sports Editor Husker thinclads are off to compete in the 39th running of the Kansas Relays today and tomorrow in Lawrence. Both varsity and freshmen events will be entered by Coach Frank Sevigne's Scar let and Cream clad athletes. Included in the contingent will be the mile relay team which led all qualifiers at the Texas Relays two weeks ago with a 3:14.3 clocking. They failed to place in the finals when sprinter Kent Mc Cloughan was forced to t h e sidelines with a leg muscle injury. But McCloughan. who sat out last week's dual with Iowa State to give the leg a rest, is expected to be in p r i m e shape for the KU festival. McCloughan will team with Dave Crook, Gil Gebo and Dick Strand for the mile re lay and with Crook, Lynn Headley and Gebo for the sprint medley relay. Nebraska's hopes in the sprint medley were con siderably improved this last week when Missouri's Rick Beldner, 60 yard indoor dash champion, pulled a muscle and forced the withdrawal of the Tiger sprint medley en try. The field now includes Colo- j rado, Texas , Drake, Okla homa, Oklahoma State and Nebraska. Sevigne will send athletes into five field events. Com peting in the high jump will be Jack Cramer, Jim BeltzerJ will throw the shot, Roland Johnson will tackle the discus and Victor Broooks will take on both the broad jump and triple jump. Brooks is currently tenth among the nation's broad jumpers according to Nation al Collegiate Athletic Asso ciation records. His leap of 24-6 i in the! Texas Relays set a n e w i varsity record as well as pushing him into the elite top ten circle. Nebraska will be sending a 4-mile relay team composed of Peter Scott, John Portee, Larry Toothaker and Tucker Lillis. Preston Love is entered in the 120-yard high hurdles and Toothaker will run in the 5,000-meter run. Running in the open 100- meter dash is frosh flash, Charles Greene. Ray Stevens, former Husk er star and holder of the Big Eight outdoor mile record, has been entered in t h e Glenn Cunningham 1,500 meter race. Others entered are Bill Dotson, former KU star who has run a sub-four minute mile, Pat Clohessy, ex-Houston great. Bob Cozens of Houston. George Brose of Oklahama. Jim Dupree, ex- Southern Illinois runner andi Howel Ryan of the Houston frosh.

So did rookie Randy Harris, Nebraska's second baseman, but his record for nine games doesn't show it. Harris, a Kearney High School gradu ate, is blasting the ball to the tune of .363 with eight hits in 22 trips to the plate. On the Texas swing two weeks ago, which included six games, he hit .545. ' I guess I was pretty ner vous, but everybody was," Harris says. "But I'm get ting settled down now. Most of us sophomores have." And he feels his relaxation will help his hitting (if that can be done), "as long as I don't start pressing . . . You've got to stay relaxed in there (the batter's box)." College pitching hasn't awed Harris so far but he's quick to point out, "I've only played in nine games, but most of the guys up here throw pretty hard." And with that fat average the curve isn't bothering him either. At Oklahoma, where the NEBRASKAN WANT ADS FOUND: t small ringi. U lost. contact 4MB..

Huskers dropped three, Har ris' hitting tailed off (two for 11), but his fielding brought Sooner fans' ovations. On one play Randy raced behind second base, backhanded a groundball, leaped into the air and threw a Sooner out. "He shows a lot of poise for a sophomore," says Coach Tony Sharpe of the 20-year-old. "He made some major league plays down at Okla homa." The Harris name is no stranger to the Husker score book. Randy's brother Jerry was selected the most valu able NU baseball player in 1961 as an o u t f i e I d e r for Sharpe. The younger Harris is among a bank of sophomores Sharpe is counting on to im prove Cornhusker baseball tortunes. Six of them Harris, third baseman Joe Gaughan, left fielder Gary Tunnison, catcher Clayton Luther, short stop John Roux and center fielder Curt Johnson will be in the starting lineup when Kansas visits Lincoln this weekend. The Huskers also boast im proving sophomore pitchers in Bob Hergenrader, Pat Gor- nam and Bob Witte. Husker Netmen Play In Omaha Nebraska's tennis flashing a dual win streak of six maicnes, win drop in on Omaha University for a dual this Friday and will host Washburn of Topeka, Kan., Apm 24. Last Monday the Husker netmen bumped Drake, 6-1, to up their season record to 7-2. From the Stick ... by rick akin Here's 50 Thou, Kid You're sitting in class. Your instructor is giving it his all but the lecture is drier than last week's popcorn. Your mind is pleasurably considering the sweetie with the peroxided hair and shorter-than-usual culotte when the instructor mentions jobs. You"ve been hit right in the distress plexes. "What am I going to do for a iob when I graduate?" you ask yourself. Being the Walter Mitty type, you im agine some guy coming up to you at graduation and say ing: "Here's 50 thousand kid; take it or leave it." Could that happen to you? The saga continues. It could if you had an arm like Steve Renko's. Upon graduation from high school, the Los Angeles Dodgers thought enough of him as a pitcher to offer a $30,000 bo nus contract. That's comparable to the number of Germans the Sarge, Caje, Kirby and Littljohn bump off each Tuesday on the tube. And the Kansas City A's were talking the same lingo. But Steve, now a sophomore, turned them down. He decided that he'd rather play football and get an educa tion before signing. So now he's at Kansas University where his father was on the 1948 Orange Bowl footbail team, and is a three-sport star. A Wise Decision? Was Renko's decision a wise one? Our friend Walter may disagree, but you have to say, "yes". Why? Because Renko will probably be one of the ail time great college athletes, he'll have an education and when he graduates, the big league scouts will probably flock back to his doorstop to whistle that $50,000 tune (give or take) unless of course, he injures his arm. What will help make Renko great is the fact that he could conceivably be on three Big Eight championship teams next season. And such success will depend largely on Renko's right wing, secured to a 6-2, 210 pound frame. He's the quarterback in football for KU which must be rated as a favorite in the conference race this fall along with Oklahoma and possibly Nebraska if coach Bob Devaney and aides can patch up" a graduation-riddled in terior line. Renko used to be a fullback and a good one at Wvan dotte High School in Kansas City, Kan. But during" his freshmen year the Kansas coaches decided to switch him to quarterback to utilize his throwing arm. Their shift was successful. Renko will probably play guard for the Jayhawk bas ketball team next winter. He played forward last season when he showed sophomore signs of inexperience but his rebounding and jump shooting made up for it. And with Walter Wesley, George Unseld, Ron Franz and Dave Schictle back along with Renko, the Javhawks will be tough. And Baseball Those lucrative offers speak for Renko's baseball abil ity. Along with two other sophomore pitchers Chuck Dobson and Fred Chana the Javhawks are strong this season but appear to be a season away from the title. If they get that title next year-it could make three for Renko and friends. Renko can be seen at the NU Diamond this weekend where the Huskers host Kansas in a doubleheader at 1:30 this afternoon and a single game tomorrow. The last guy to play three sports was Oklahoma State's Dick Soergel, who. like Renko. was a quarterback in football, a starter in basketball and a pitcher in base ball. But he was on only one championship team the base ball squad. If you have three white sweaters ffor Big Eight cham pionships), who needs $50,000? Quiet, Walter. Linksmen Improve; Test KU, K-State Kansas and Kansas State will test Hillcrest Country Club's course this Friday at 1:30 p.m. in a double dual golf match with the Univer sity. Next Tuesday the Hunkers will go to Omaha for a dual with Creighton.
