race, takes this weekend off while the rest of the Big Seven plus ices with an 8.3 record. The
Manhattan.
"We've got to take three at Kansas State," explained Cyclone Coach Cap Timm," to have a chance of catching any of the top three teams. Playing a last place team ought to relax any team but not when it's Kansas State. Last year we had to play our heads off to beat them in the ninth innings."
weekend off while the rest of the Big Seven teams Missouri is in 1st place with an 8-3 record. The Tigers will level a solid hitting attack against Nebraska's sound pitching staff in a decisive three-game series between the league's No. 1 and 2 teams at Columbia this week.
First baseman Bob Toft at .462,
center fielder Jack Davis at .434,
and left fielder Butch Hankins at
.404 are Coach "Hi" Simmons' best
hitters. Little Don Miller, a 5-ft. 8
lefty, leads all Big Seven pitchers
with a 5-0 record.
Three.400 hitters and a stubby rookie pitcher with a perfect record are the best reasons for Missouri's conference leadership.
Nebraska offensive power has come chiefly from third baseman Frank Nappi, the team's only .300 hitter. Nappi, a football halfback, is hitting .324. Cornhusker Coach Tony Sharpe's top three pitchers are Fred Kubacki, Ron Siebler and Mal Bottort.
Fourth place Iowa State will take on cellar dwelling Kansas State at Manhattan.
Timm is uncertain of his pitching choices. Prentiss Lamont is out for spring practice and is not available. Jim Kudlinski pulled a shoulder muscle in his 3-2 win over Oklahoma, and may be sidelined. In any case Timm still has Gene Lafferty, Phil Groth, and Gary Carstens to choose from.
Oklahoma dropped two out of three to Iowa State last weekend and tumbled from 1st to 3rd in the conference standings. Their three losses, however, are the same as Missouri and Nebraska.
Colorado tangles with Oklahoma, one of the league's perennial titans, in a three-game series at Boulder this weekend.
Senior Vaughn Shell and Del Ritchart and Joe Puleo, a pair of sophomores, are due to get the starting pitching assignments from Colorado Coach Frank Prentup. Puleo was impressive Saturday as he went the seven inning route to defeat Kansas, 4-3.
Shortstop Roger Kenney is the team's batting leader with 350. Right fielder Darrell Higman and center fielder Bernie Moliconi follow with 300.
