invade Lincoln
by Dave Sittler
Coach Tony Shape's injury -plagued
Neb-oska baseball team will make its first
homo app'-a'anct' of the season today when
pu.vcifu! Okiuhoma State invades Lincoln
for a thite game series against the Huskers.
Oku,homa State brings a 5 0 conference
t,co and a 16-1 season's mark into the
;os ..vtvcli beg'ns with a doub'eheader at
1 30 p.m. today a"d v'iuis-up Saturday with
a s'njic i.ontest at 1 p.m.
Nebraska enters the series with the
possibility of playing without leading hitter
Bob Munson (.370) and first baseman Sam
Sharpe.
Both playeis were injured last week when
the Huskers opened their Big Eight
confeuroce schedule by taking two of three
qames against the University of Kansas at
Law i ence.
Munson appaiently ruptured a lung
sliding into second base during the third
game at Kansas, while Shaipe is still groggy
after being hit in the head by a pitch duiing
the sarin.' game.
Sharpe said Thursday that Omaha
freshman Norm Glismann would replace
Munson in right field and sophomore Dan
Ekfelt would take Sharpe's place at first base
if necessary.
Coach Chet Bryan's Cowboys are led by
strong hitting Dan Massari and a solid
pitching staff composed of Harold Tompkins
(3-0. 1.72 ERA), Bill Berg (2-0, .55 ERA)
and David Lewis (4-0, .70 ERA).
Massari, who is hitting .388 which
includes two grand slam home runs this
season, was named Big Eight baseball player
of the week last Thursday.
Going against such a strong pitching staff
without Munson, Sharpe said his squad will
have to rely on their pitching and good
defense to win against the Cowboys.
"We have to hope for top pitching efforts
from Ryan Kurosaki, Terry Redler and
Denny O'Doherty if we want to stay in the
game with Oklahoma State," Sharpe said.
The Nebraska coach said O'Doherty had
regained his spot in the starting pitching
rotation after the sophomore from Omaha
allowed just one hit in five and two-thirds
innings of relief against Kansas.
"O'Doherty will play center field for us
in the first two games and then pitch the
third contest," Sharpe said. "Norm
Glismann or Gary Healey will take over in
center field when O'Doherty is pitching."
Nebraska, 5-3-1 overall and 2-1 in the
conference will go with the following line-up
in today's doubleheader : Dennis Shibata,
2B; Bryant Akisada, SS; Munson or
Glismann, RF; Ekfelt or Sharpe, 1B; Rich
Sanger, LF; O'Doherty, CF; Jim Smith, 3B;
Doak Fowler, C and Kurosaki and Redler,
pitchers.

Receivers lauded
Nebraska's pass lecoivmg corps drew praise from football
coach Tom Osborne after the Cornhuskcrs first spring
scrimmage on Wednesday.
Drawing top mention fiom the Husker head coach were
split ends Frosty Anderson and Tim Lackovic.
"All of our receivers have been doing a pretty good job this
spring," Osborne said. "But Frosty and Tim impressed me
during the scrimmage."
"We expect Frosty to do a good job for us because of his
experience," Osborne said of the 175 pound senior. "But
Lackovic has impressed me much moie than I expected.
The quarterback play of Dave Humm and Steve Runty also
pleased Osboi ne.
"If we have any advantage this year over a year ago, it has
to be our experience at quarterback." he said. "Both Runty
and Humm did a good job of throwing today."
Osborne said he has decided to move spirt end Dave
Shamblin to wingback even though he thought Shamblin was
better suited at split end.
"We have so much experience ahead of Dave at split end
that we are trying to find a place for him to play," Osborne
said. "He may be out of position a bit, but he's such a fine
icceiver that we want to give him a chance."
Tony Davis, a sophomore I back red-shirted because of
knee surgery, said his knee is in fine shape now.
I -back Dave Goeller suffered a hip injury early in the
scrimmage. Although the injury wasn't considered serious, he
sat out the remainder of the practice.
Osborne said that one thing is becoming quite evident to
him as spring practice progi esses.
"We just don't have us many great players as we had a year
ago," he said. "We've got some good players, but you don't
have 10 players drafted in the first 1 1 rounds and then replace
them easily."
