Bob Churchich, Nebraska's defending hittirs king lost a chance for back-to-back titles when he broke his hand last weekend in his ninth and final game of the season. Though hitting a strong .357 and moving up with each weekend's work, Chur chich still won't be eligible for the crown, even if those ahead slip during the next three weeks and settle be low his final figures. Big Eight standards call for a player to plaj one more than half of the 21 Confer ence games to be eligible for a statistical champion ship. Last year, Churchich won with a .383 mark. Moving Back into position to defend his pitching title, however, is Colorado's strong-armed lefty, Taylor Toomey. Toomey jumped to fifth in the individual pitching standings this week, even though he was beaten in his last start. With four complete games to hi. credit, Toomey now sports a 1.75 earned-run av erage he allowed none in his losing start last weekend having given up only six earned tallies in his five starts. Last year, his win ning ERA was 1.38. Tom mey is holding onto the lead in strikeouts with 42. Nebraska's Furby Leading the mound troops this week is another sopho more, Nebraska's Al Furby, who held Missouri's power laden bat corps to just one run. That one was of the unearned variety, pushing his ERA down to 0.88, giv ing him a slight edge over Oklahoma State's Bill Max well (0.94), last week's lead er. Holding onto the top spot in the hitting department for the second straight week is Oklahoma fullback-second baseman, Gary Harper. One of only three of last week's leaders to bump his average, Harper went on another hitting spree to move into the second-half of the season with a .438 aver age. First By Shade In first by only a shade last week, Harper has a great deal more breathing room this week as the su perb pitching performances of the weekend sliced most averages. Running second now is a newcomer to the leaders, Missouri's Gary Lear, who got a start by moving behind the plate to fill a gap. Lear has a .391 mark. , . In all, six Missourians show up among the leading hitters as they push the Ti gers to the team hitting lead for the league with a .298 average, well above the second-place Kansas State's .277 figure. In 12 games, the Tigers have managed 119 safeties, 31 of them for ex tra base. In everything else, in cluding the standings, Okla homa State and Oklahoma are one-two. The biggest. Poke lead is in pitching" where they show a 1.64 staff ERA, compared with the Sooners' 2.54. In field ing, the Cowboys are just a bit ahead, however, both showing rounded-off aver ages of .939. m0 mJ. L& J. avJt 1 ill v$P III y&k iamiBBMBBMnnH(nMMBBni in .111 mxmmrmmmammx mini immj .

Unbeaten Fijis Into Finale As Winter Dampens Softball Thursday, May 4, 1967 OU Leads Net Race Ollahoma is way out in front in the race for the Big Eight conference tennis championship, but the Soon ers probably won't be able to wrap up a second title before the Conference meet in Norman, Oklahoma, May 19-20. With two dual meets re maining, the Sooners show a total of 3 points. Those two meets, this weekend against Kansas State and Nebraska at Nebraska, rep resent a possible 14 points, or a maximum of 47 for Oklahoma going into the league meet. To mathematically clinch the title before the Confer-" ence affair, the Soo..ers will have to be at least 22 points ahead it is possible for a club to score 21 team-points during the league meet. Ok- ahoma's chances of gain ing that kind of a lead ap pear very remote now. Chief barriers are Okla' homa State and Kansas State. Oklahoma State, now showing 21 points, has a pair of duals on tap this weekend against Kansas and Iowa State at Iowa State and could scuttle all Sooner early hopes with five points in the two matches. CURSES, FOILED AGAIN . . . will probably not be part of th e dialogue between fencers Thursday at 7 p.m. in the intra mural fencing tournament. The tourney, to be held on the freshman court of the Coliseum, is the first of its kind at the University, according to Jerry Novak, meet administrator. Three touches such as the one Frank O'Neal is scoring on Al Schwab here will decide the winder of each match. Spectators are encouraged to attend the matches, and winners will be awarded trophies at the conclusion of the tourney.
