New Batting Champ Assured
After Churchich Has Accident
There will be a new bat
ting champion in the Big
Eight conference this year.
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.

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.
Cornliusker Wins Publications Tilt
Winter has put the damps
and the cramps on the in
tramural softball program
as the undefeated Phi Gam
ma Delta and the Phi Delta
Theta softball teams are
slated to meet in the first
division finale.
Because four or five days
are needed to conclude com
petition, men's intramural
director Joel Meier said.
"This snow may just put
us into Dead Week."
Two In Finals
Only two of the six soft
ball divisions are down to
final competion. The others
in the double-elimination
tourney have one undefeat
ed team and two one-time
losers who must play first.
The teams (undefeated
listed fi-st I left in compe
tition are:
Fijis, Phi Dells
