This past year has seen
some Uiiforgetable moments
in Nebraska sports. There
have been some heartbreaks,
some disappointments, some
failures, but all in all, it has
been a remarkable year for
the Cornhusker sports fan.
The top thrill would have
to be the participation in the
Cotton Bowl against what was
to be acclaimed the top col
lege team in the country, the
Arkansas Razorbacks under
the tutorage of Frank Broyles.
The trip to Dallas was well
worth Lie chips, despite a last
minute 10-7 defeat at the
hands of the Hogs' as we
(not so affectionately) came
to think of them. Most loyal
Cornhusker fans, both those
who watched in Dallas and
those who sat by their tele
vision set would be reluctant
to admit that Arkansas had

Pitching Is Key To Husker Success . . .
Basehailers Can Win
Big Eight Championship
By James Pearse
Sports Assistant
A college baseball cam
paign is short. .Each game
means as much as the next.
There is no time to catch up
to a mistake, or gain back a
lost game.
When the league has three
or four teams playing about
the same consistency through
out the short season, the final
week of play can make the
difference between first place
and a mere also-ran.
The Big Eight has such a
race this year. Missouri, Iowa
State, Nebraska, and Okla
homa State have all come
through the condensed sched
ule with similar results, and
each has a chance to repre
sent the conference in the Col
lege World Series should
things fall in the right direc
tion over the weekend.
For Missouri to win the title
again Iowa State would have
to topple before them at
Ames, or Nebraska and Okla
homa State crumble at Kan
sas and Colorado respectively.
If Missouri wins all three
at Ames its all over. If they
drop one and Nebraska fells
Kansas three times the Hus
ker flag will wave over the
Big Eight as champion for the
second time this year.
To win all the marbles out
right, Oklahoma State and
Iowa State will have to sweep
their sets with Colorado and
Missouri.

Various combinations of
wins and loses among the four
contenders can lead to a tan
gle of ties at the top.
What is the biggest fear a
pennant hopeful faces in a sit
uation like this coming week
in Big Eight baseball?
Rain.
"If it rains out our games
and someone else plays and
wins we can lose out by not
playing. We just want to
play," says Nebraska's coach
Tony Sharpe.
Sharpe views Kansas with
a wary eye. He notes that the
Jayhawks were considered the
team to beat when the g u n
sounded and could come up
with a combination of good
pitching and hitting on the
same occassion and knock off
any contender.
The Nebraska mentor will
go with the same pitching ro
tation that has carried the
team to this point.
Stan Bahnsen leads the Hus
ker hurlers with a 1.53 ERA

outs in 41 innings. His 5-1 sea-

Senior catcher Larry Born
schegl, with a team leading
average of .340, will be hoping
to hang up his NU spikes with
his best year under his belt
and the added significance of
the league title.
George Flock, also making
his departing appearance for
Nebraska, may be lost under
the deluge of strong under
class pitching, but early in
the year and in previous cam
paigns Flock has proven his
worth to Sharpe's crew.
Nebraska's league leading
defense is headed by a pair
of infielders who show quick
ness and deft bands when
challenging a chance. Joe
Gaughuan and Jim Smith,
third and second baseman for
NU, have steadily backed up
Nebraska pitching in the past
few games that have put Ne
braska back into the pennant
picture.
The Nebraska squad is
aware of where they stand.
Their practice sessions have
silenced a bit with thoughts
replacing boistrous jockeying.
But the spirit of the team
is high. All they want is the
chance to play.
Little Frankie Solich typi
fies the squad's morale as
they prepare for Kansas.
Tuesday while chasing a fiy
ball the mitey outfielder
jumped at the fence, slid
along its rough top for some
feet and toppled out of the
playing field. Wednesday he
was back with slight indica
tion that the bruises bothered
him.
The team will work out for
the last time in Lincoln on
Thursday afternoon. Then
they will eat and board a bus
for Topeka, where they will
spend the night
At eleven on Friday morn
ing the Huskers will begin to
warm-up to the heat of the
final week's action.
A swift two day windup to
the whirlwind Big Eight dash
promises to produce hot spots
all around the league barring
cooling rain.
