Husker Bats Bang Out 21 To 7 Verdict
By BOB NELSON
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Nebraska's baseball team used its heavy artillery to scuttle Kansas, 21 to 7, Thursday afternoon on the Varsity diamond and thus earn a split in the two-game series. Kansas won the opener, 9 to 5, Wednesday.
Just about everything possible in baseball happened in the three hour and 10 minute marathon that ended in football proportions—three touchdowns to one—along with successful conversions by all-American halfback Bobby Reynolds, N.U. second sacker.
But the real Nebraska hero was Bob Diers, junior center fielder. His long ball hitting accounted for six runs as he clouted a pair of home runs, each with two men aboard, and a single in five trips.
Jayhawkier starter Jack Stone-street, sophomore righthander, failed to measure up to the fine performance he turned in Monday against Emporia State. He was hit hard for 14 runs and 16 hits during his 6 and 24 iming stint.
Two more K.U. hurlers, lefty Bill Honan and Curt Harris, were just as ineffective as Stonestreet. Honan allowed three runs in the $ \frac{3}{2} $ innings he tried and the visitors hit Harris' offerings for four hits in his $ 1\frac{3}{2} $ inning stint.
As in football last fall, Reynolds played an important role in scoring four runs, banging out two safeties, and handling eight chances without a bobble. He also slashed off base three times, stealing second, third, and home on three different occasions.
Every Nebraska starter accounted for one or more hits, with the exception of first baseman Ray Madovich. John Rego, third baseman, singled his first four times at the plate to wind up the game with four for five.
John McConnell, second baseman, and third baseman Jim Sunye got half the K.U. 10-hit total as they accounted for three and two respectively. Sunye drove in two runs with a first innning double as Kansas took an early 3 to 0 lead.
The Jayhawkers play Emporia State at Emporia Saturday in a non-conference game. Coach Ulrich will send his club back into Big Seven competition against Iowa State at Ames, Friday and Saturday, April 27 and 28.
In the final three innings, the Huskers scored 11 runs with Diers accounting for six of these with his two home runs. He hit for the circuit in the seventh and again in the ninth with two on.
Nebraska won the game in the second inning with an eight run surge as 13 men went to the plate. They added one in the fourth and fifth innings while K.U. matched these with lone runs in the third and sixth. Nebraska led 10 to 5 at the end of six frames.
Kansas will be idle at home until May 4 and 5 when they meet Kansas State. These games will be part of an all-Sports weekend now being planned that will include Varsity-alumni football and basketball games.

The Jayhawker football hopefuls closed out the fourth week of spring drills Thursday with a bruising game-condition scrimmage. The contest ended with the score deadlocked at four touchdowns each for the Reds and Blues.
Sikes Unhappy As Mock Game Ends In Tie
Head Coach J. V. Sikes was extremely displeased with the workout. It was the first time this spring the Jayhawk mentor had failed to praise his charges from at least one stand-point.
"We looked miserable," Sikes said. "Everything was in bad shape and that's about all there was to it."
The Reds opened the scoring in the game with two quick touchdowns but by halftime the Blues had put a pair together and the score stood as 12-all. There were no conversion attempts.
Then the Blues began to roll when quarterback Jerry Robertson fired a short pass to Frank Cindrich, freshman halfback, who scampered the remaining 30 yards to paydirt. Cindrich scored again a few minutes later on a split-T lateral from Robertson. The play covered 7 yards.
In the second half Dean Wells scored the two Blue touchdowns. He slashed off tackle for 10 yards for the first and a few minutes later gathered in a 20-yard aerial from Robertson and galloped 60 yards for his second score of the day.
The Reds counted first on a short pass from quarterback Archie Unruh to halfback Pat Murphy. Shortly after that the Blue punter fumbled the pass from center and Bill Schaake, Red end, recovered in the end zone.
Bud Laughlin, hefty fullback, scored the first Red marker in the second half on a short plunge from center. Unruh passed 20 yards to Schaake for the other.
The Phi Gamma Delta swimming team successfully defended their intramural title Wednesday night in Robinson gymnasium by more than doubling the score of their nearest competitor. Preliminaries to the meet were run off on Monday and Tuesday.
Phi Gams Win IM Swim Title
The Phi Gams totaled 45 points, the Phi Psis 18, Sigma Chi 16, and Beta 15, to capture the first four places in the meet. The meet was scord on a 5-3-2-1 basis for the individual events and 7-5-3-1 for the relays.
