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.

LAST DAY
"NONE BUT
THE
This spot and a definite lack
of power w ith the bat are the
only cause for concern as yet.
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.

Today the Class "B" intra

unveiled. Highlighting the "B"
stars is outside shooting abili

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.

Samson, 18. 6-0, 235, is an
All-League football and wres
tling letterman from Warrer

The Omaha North grad tips
the scale at 175 pounds on a
5'10" frame. 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.
