Versatile hurlers key
NU's diamond hopes
by STEVE SINCLAIR
Assistant Sports Editor
Pitchers usually aren't con
sidered to be good hitters, but
Nebraska baseball coach Tony
Sharpe is planning to use bis
pitching staff to beef up the
Husker hitting attack this
spring.
It won't be unusual to find
three of Nebraska's starting
pitchers in the lineup at the
same time, according to
Shctrpc
GENE STOHS and Glen
Gilmore are the two starting
pitchers that Sharpe plans to
use in the outfield, when they
aren't on the mound.
"Stohs and Gilmore are both
good hitters and real good
fielders," Sharpe said. "Stohs
is as fine an outfielder as you
will find in college baseball.
Nebraska finished in the Big
Eight cellar for the first time
last year, and Sharpe said the
team's problem was caused by
poor hitting.

In additon to giving his
pitchers additional playing
time, Sharpe hopes that added
experience will help the team's
bitting.
RON JOHNETTE, J i m
McCormick, and Al Furby were
the only losses from last year's
club and the top two hitters,
Adrian Fiala and Tom Tidball
return.
"We have the potential to be
an average college hitting
team," Sharpe said. "With
average hitting and good
pitching we have a chance of
winning quite a few ball
games."
The Nebraska pitching staff
ranked near the top of the
league last year and Sharpe
predicts he will have a strong
staff again this season.
Last year was the first year
that freshmen were allowed to
pitch on the varsity and five of
the six Husker pitchers were
rookies. Stohs, Gilmore, and
Paul Mareck are the returning
starters. George Hinman and
Bruce Cramer return in the
bull pen. Ilinman was a
sophomore last year, but it was
his first year on the varsity.
DEPTH IN THE bull pen will
be provided by freshmen Bob
Munson and Steve Cam.
Munson played freshmen
basketball and has just joined
the team.
Sharpe said that the Huskers
fielding will be as good as most
clubs. "Good fielding comes
with good pitching."
The veteran coach has made
some position changes to
bolster his infield. Bob Griego
and Tidball have switched
positions with Tidball moving
to second base and Griego
going to third.
PAT ELGERT has moved to
first base where he will battle
Arnold Placke and Bill
Slaughter for the job vacated
by Johnette. Slaughter is also
being tried at catcher and in
the outfield. "Slaughter has
been looking good with the bat,
Sharpe said. 'We are trying to
find a place to play him at'
Steve Alcheipohl and Dennis
Jorgensen are battling for the
shortstop job, Alcheipohl start
ed last year and is the better
hitter of the two, according to
Sharpe. but Jorgensen has the
edge in fielding.
The catching position is held
down by Husker footballer
Adrian Fiala. He has been the
team's leading hitter the past
two seasons. Randy Spiehs, Joe
Baker, or Slaughter will back
up Fiala. . . ,
ANOTHER FOOTBALL
player. Paul Topliff , is bidding
for a job on the team for the
first time. "He is looking better
all the time." Sharpe said.
Topliff will be used at third
base, cr in the outfield, ac
cording to Sharpe. Tlte Husker
mentor is waiting to get out
doors to find out which players
can handle the outfield posi-
UThe list of players being
considered for outfield positions
are Stohs. Gilmore. Slaughter,
Topliff. Elgert. Tom Stuckey,
and Neal Garvey.
NU opens the season on
March 28 at Houston Universi
ty, where the Huskers meet the
Cougars in a six game series.
optimistically," -Sharpe said.
"We know we have along way
to go, but with normal progress
we are going to improve. I'm
ready to go and so are the
kids."
