Page 4 The Daily Nebraskan Thursday, March 25, 1965 t II If mm L tit V aseball Season Oisens Squad Tested At Tulsa This year's captain Larry Bornschlesel . . . Receives the "Most Valuable Player" award from Roy Wythers Jr. as Coach Tony Sharp looks on. By Bob Gibson This may be the year of the metamorphasis of the long dormant Nebraska baseball team. With good depth at every position, the outlook is at the very least, vastly improved. The team is filled with reg ulars off last year's squad and is spiced with some promising sophomores. Coach Tony Sharp seemed In unusually good humor dur ing the pre-season drills and he has good reason to be. "We have a much better start this year," Sharp states, "because of the number of returnees from last year's team." Hard hitting John Roux is one of the top performers that Sharp is referring to. Roux (rhymes with you) was the top hitter on the team last year as a sophomore, and will figure heavily in the hit ting category this year. An other important man in the lineup will be captain Larry Bornschlegl who was voted outstanding player on last year's squtd. Bornschlegl has been handily carrying out the catching duties for the past two years and should have an even better season this year. Second baseman Randy Harris was second to Roux in hitting last year and is joined by Joe Gaughan at third to round out a both offensivly and defensivly solid infield, i In the outfield the outlook I isn't quite as good but Alent should be sufficient, with good hitting coming from Gary Tunnison and Dennis Gcmar. At the pitching post things are a little more unpredictable with five of the top seven pitchers being first year men. Even in this untried area 'Smilin' Tony" is precariously optimistic, and goes so far as to speak of them as possibly being the best pitching staff that he's ever had. Steve Bahnsen heads the list of sophomore hurlers and will probably start the first game at Tulsa. Joining Bahnsen will be Gary Neibauer and b i g Bob Stickels who is a rather formidable hulk to opposing batters. Stickels is 6'-6" and weighs 225 pounds. The two remaining sopho mores are left handers Mick Zangari and John Wright who could make some surprise showings during the season. Bob Hergenrader is a junior lefthander who played a lot last year and will be a regu lar starter this year. Senior George Flock will probably be counted on as the mam re liefer. Even with the optomistic outlook it s not all coming up roses. One of the possible weedy spots is at first base where letterman Rich Bren- ning, football end Tony Jeter, and sophomore Tom Anderson are fighting for a starting po sition.

With this wealth of experi ence and talent the team seems to be headed for a first division finish in the Big Eight with a definite chance to climb quite high. "The two teams we have to beat" said captian Born schlegl "are Kansas and last year's Big Eight winner. Mis souri. Mizzou's not looking so good after the loss of many of their starters." The Cornhuskers willl be at a definite disadvantage when they meet Tulsa because they haven't been outside to prac tice. If they can come through with a good showing in this first series it could mean that this is also the year that the campus baseball fans who have stubbornly refused to watch only winning baseball in the past will start to show their cheery little faces. 1965 Nebraska Schedule Mar. 25 at Tulsa Mar. 2H at Tulsa Mar. 27 at Tulsa Apr. 1 South Dakota Slat Apr. 2 South Dakota Stat Apr. 3 South Dakota State Apr. 9 Missouri 2) Apr. 10 Missouri Apr. 1 at Colorado (2) Apr. 17 at Colorado Apr. 23 Kansas State (2) Apr. 24 Kansas State Apr. 30 Iowa State (2) May 1 Iowa State May 7 at Oklahoma State (2) May 8 at Oklahoma State May 14 Oklahoma 2 May 15 Oklahoma May 21 at Kansas (2) May 22 at Kansas pots n ds Cjaiei Soyoc3s Mike Rager, Kappa Sigma 5'11" 174 Steve Bock, Phi Delta Theta 6' 3" 216 Bob Churchich, Phi Kappa Psl 5'10" 175 Bob Samuclson, Beta Theta Pi 5 7" 145 Jim Penney, Beta Theta Pi 6' S'a" 220 Today the Class "B" intra mural all-star team is being unveiled. Highlighting the "B" stars is outside shooting abili ty and speed on the frontline. Smallest of the team, which averages only slightly over six-feet, is Beta Theta Pi Bob Samuelson. Stretching the yard-stick out to a meager 5'7", Samuelson played in the guard position for the cham pion Betas. The little 145-pound Frank lin grad acted as court gen eral for the Beta attack. Be sides his play-making role, Samuelson led the team in the scoring column many times as he connected from side court with 15 to 20 foot jumpers.

Like his star- teammate, Churchich was the leader of his team. He guided the Phi Psls to the finals in the "B" tourney Driving in for shots at close range and never afraid to gun the long one, Churchich led his team in scoring much of Che season. His nervy drives awarded him many opportu nlties at the charity stripe, and he eagerly cashed in. The first freshman to appear for the "B" stars is Mike Rager of the Kappa Sigma house. Rager is the third guard to make the team. He weighs in at a solid 174 and measures 5'11" in height. The chemistry major comes to NU from South Sioux City, Iowa. Rager singled out Joe Mor rison and another star, Steve Bock, as his toughest oppon ents. He called his best of fensive court weapon a 15 foot jumper from either corner. Bringing size to the "B" team for the first time is Phi Delta Theta Steve Bock. This Lincoln Southeast prod uct anchored the Phi D e 1 1 s team strength, rebounding. Six feet, three inches of height couple with his 216 pounds to give ample reason for his board prowess. Scoring from his inside posi tion on occasion, Bock used a short jump shot. He will rep resent the University this spring in golf. Being named by a fellow star as "outstanding," Bock too named a fellow star as the toughest opponent in the league. His selection was Jim Penney. Penney is a 220 pounder whose 6'5" limbs mixed it up underneath with Bock through out the year. A freshman in Dental Col lege, Pesney was a big factor In the Beta Theta Fl title conquest. The big guy pro vided needed rebounding strength and Inside defensive work that contributed much to the winning of some close ones for the Betas. Not a heavy scorer, Penney did add a few points with a turn-around jump shot from the free-throw line. Rounding out the "B" selec tion Is the honorable mention roll. Two boys on the honor roll who might have finished high er in balloting had it not been for baseball duties cut ting their season short are Phi Kappa Psi John Roux and Beta Theta Pi Steve Hutchins. The remainder of the honor roll includes: Kappa Sigma Doug Miller, who played a corner position and was one of the finer shooters for the Kap pa Sigs; Don Wolcott of Phi Kappa Psi, who was a speedy and extremely agile guard for his size; John Swanson, Theta Xi entry whose outside shoot ing and hustle from his guard slot led the Theta Xi forces; and Van Vahle of Beta Theta Pi, who was important to their cause through hs floor work and defensive abilities. Our congratulations go out to the above mentioned play ers, and a certificate will be presented to each of them from the Daily Nebraskan as a symbol of the honor they have been given by the all star voting. Coaches To Have Leeway Basketball coaches were granted broad leeway to con fer with floor officials during a game by the National Bas ketball Rules Committee of it. TT!i I Oi.io - mm A On M A n i no i n nun -vi 4 1 x 1 1 f i hii Tuesday. Cliff Fagan of Chicago, committee secretary, said at the end of two-day meeting Tuesday that permissive ac tion was adoped "whereby a coach may confer with floor officials for the purpose of preventing or correcting spe cified errors." "This means," he said, "that a coach can get off tha bench when the clock is stopped or the ball is dead and go to the timer's table to request a conference with the officials. If the coach is right in his contention of pre venting or correcting a speci fied error, no time out will ba charged against his team. The committee decided to study the fifth foul rule for another year. There is some desire, Fagan said, to elimi nate fouling out. Instead, aft er a fifth foul is charged, the team fouled would get extra free throws or would be given the ball. 5 NOW OPEN!!! i amusement machines I" lunch snacks ! chips & dip N dairy & bakery Items Jj CROWN CENTER J 5 - 218 No. 10th a.m. to 10 p.m. Ji EAST UNION March 27 8:30 -12:00 P.M. featuring the BARRACUDAS See the crowning of Varsity Dairy Princess Win a Honda just f of lising born r f ., Vi I 'I 7'; i v-s 'ri - ' tek a ml Ma - hPmti 'A - -. . , ftu.
