Tuesday, October 16, 1934 Daily Nobreskan Pago 9 Wo men's soffcbaii team to duel leb with ce By Ward W. Triplet III Drily Nebraska f porta Editor It won't be for the book3, but the softball games today and Wed nesday at M&ble Lee Field will be for the bucks. The Nebraska women's softball team, defending regional cham pions and 21-3 in the recently completed fall season, will play a group of fraternities today at 3 p.m. in a fund-raber for a new batting cags f t liable Les Field. A $1 admission will fcs charged for both games ofthe double-header. Wednesday, tha women's team will pby a croup of Iocs! media celebrities and athletic depart ment personnel Bob Devaney has tentatively accepted the coach ing position for the celebrity team. Nebraska assistant coach Kalum Karck, who will pitch for the fraternity teanss this after noon, said th.2 women's team will go "all out to defeat the com bined teams from Beta Theta Pi, Delta Upsilon, Sigma Alpha Ep silon and Delta Tau Delta. "A lot of these guys probably dont realize-what they're getting themselves into Haack said. "The girls know guys are expecting some type of slow-pitch, but they're going to be in for the sur prise of their lives." Haack said he an d coach Wayne Daigle used the battle-of-the-sexes idea before when both were coaching at Sam Houston State. That started with just a few fra ternities, but before long, every fraternity on campus wanted to play. While the new batting cage is the first concern, Haack said, the games also are designed to in crease the team's popularity. Last year's squad played in front of more than 4,000 in Omaha during the College World Series, but home crowds have been tough to draw. This could help people see that we have a good team here," Haack said. Haack said that even if the fra ternities take the game seriously, they still could be in some trou ble. After all, they will have to bat against Nebraska's triple pitch ing attack of Lori Sippel, Mori Emmons and Donna Deardorff. Sippel, the freshman from Can ada, has an earned run average below 0.30. "She's like a surgeon out there," Haack, the team's pitching in- r fr 4- J atermties structor said. "She's got excellent control and just puts the ball where she want3 to. Compared to the top pitchers in the country, she's not one of the hardest throwers youll find, but she b among the most effective." Haack said Sippel has thrown several two- and one-hitters and two no-hitter3. Most of the hits off the former Canadian national team captain .have been blocps and dribblers. "I can only remember two balls ever being hit off her that were real shots," Haack said. Emmons, a senior who was converted to pitcher from the out&ldjust last season, is strictly a drop-ball or slider pitcher. Dear dorff s best pitch is & rise-ball, but the freshman from California rtill has to overcome the averaga freshman mistakes, Haack said. There will be no charga for the celebrity game tomorrow. "I don't think they'll (Nebraska players) be as aggressive in that one," Haack said. "If we win it fine, If we loo? it fine." Devaney may coach the team, which will include Women's Sports Information Director Terry Beek as pitcher. Lincoln Journal-Star Sports Editor Virgil Parker and staff writers Chuck Sinclair, Randy York, Ken Hambleton, Ryly Jane Hambleton, and Mike Bab cock are scheduled to play part of the game, as well as JeffSchmal of KOLN-TV, Ann Schatz of KMTC, Chuck Stevens and Scott Young of KFOR, Jim Miller of KLIN and Scott Ahlstrand of the Daily Nebraskan. "If I'm not starting, I'm depart ing," Ahlstrand said doing his part for team unity. Women's Ath letic Director June Davb, Assist ant Director Barb Hibner and Administrative Assistant Joyce Johnson also will phy. Johnson said the field b covered with a tarp, so the game should be played despite the wet weather. The softball team finished its fall competitive season last week end with a two-game sweep at the Creighton Invitational in Omaha, The Huskers shut out Northern Illinois 5-0 on a four hitter by Deardorff and beat Mis souri 1-0 in the 11th ir.rJng on a combined shutout from Einmons and Sippel. "We were very pleased with the fall season," Haack said. "We can become a more consistent hitting team though. In the three games we lost, we were shut out in each of them." Haack said the fall season indi cated the Huskers have a stronger bench than last season. "Last year, if we had an injury, we were just up a creek," Haack said. "This season, the bench has helped us a lot. TheyVe been com ing in and getting the pinch hits, doing a lot of pinch-running and helping our enthusiasm." tar iff io 3 Stawiiril lift (JuiHi a, VI DIET V vCEUTEIU rd Mea's Fl3 FoctbsSi ' Class C Tapa Kega Day 6 (3.2), Phi Delta Phi 0 (3.2) Sweets III 34 (4.0), D.K.
