Iff Rata: Stags as Sad Souchak NU Baseball Fortes Fail, 'Cats Win to 79 Slips Augusta, VPl) Soaked-to-the-skin Jack Nick-laus conquered the worst possible golfing conditions Saturday to take the lead in the Masters Tournament with a two over par 74 for a 3rd round total of 214. On a rainy, bone-chilling day when leaders like Mike Souchak, Jay Hebert and Bo Wininger probably would have been better off in rowboats, the 23-year-old Nick-laus forged to the front under what were, to say the least, trying circumstances. They were not too trying, however, for Nicklaus or for amazing Ed Furgol, the 46-year-old 1954 Open champion, who also had a 74 which put him in the runner-up spot with a total of 215.

Neither did they prove too much for 43-year-old Jul- By HAL BROWN Nebraska's fortes defense and pitching weren't so strong Saturday afternoon as Kansas State salvaged the last of a 3-game series by administering a 9-2 lashing of the Huskers. Nebraska had committed only one error in winning a doubleheader from the Wildcats Friday, but Saturday was a different story as the Huskers handled the ball as if it were some mystic thing they weren't supposed to touch. The Huskers, usually tough defensively, made 7 errors the Kansas State cause in that inning as they gave Wesch all the cushion he needed. Two more Nebraska mis-cues in the 5th helped the Wildcats to 3 more runs and Somerhalder's homer in 6th completed the Kansas State run production. Nebraska got men on base in every inning except the 3rd, but were unable to keep a rally going.

Two runners were left on base in each of 5 innings firsts second, 4th, 6th and 9th) and stranded 13 all to and the Wildcats 1 1 1 pounded the first 2 Nebraska pitchers the last 2 hurlers, Jim Kahrhoff and George Sandgren didn't allow a hit for 9 hits. Four of Kansas State's 9 hits were of the extra base variety with Minden, native Sam Somerhalder supplying the big bomb a two-run homer over the left field fence in. the 6th. 4o end K-State's scoring. The loss leaves the Huskers with a 2-1 mark in loop play and 3-3 overall with a 3-game series against Kansas at Law rence coming" up this weekend.

Kansas State is 3-6 overall and 1-2 in the Big 8. The game started as a pitching duel between Nebraska's big right-hander Keith Sieck and K-State's Jim Wesch, but Wesch was the only one around when it ended as Sieck left after the 4th inning. Sieck was touched for 4 runs in the top of the 4th and was charged with the loss, although the trouble was not all of his own doing. Two Husker errors helped gether which is pretty much the story of the game in addition to the errors. John Faiman, one of the hitting leaders in Friday's doubleheader, struck out 3 times with men on base, and Tom Ernst, who homered Friday, duplicated Faiman's dubious feat.

Nebraska tallied both runs in the 7th when Wally Duff, leading off, was safe on an error and went to 3rd on Rod Beckman's double in his first appearance as a Husker.

The Huskers had men on second and 3rd with none out in the second, but failed to score as Wesch struck out Ernst, Sieck, and Duff.

Huskers Easing -Into Rough Work OTimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiN Take. a Last (Hard) Look I teJ I 1 'Be Going Doggone Tough by Wednesday' By DON BRYANT Coach Bob Devaney and his assistants stepped up the pace a bit Saturday as the Nebraska Cornhuskers labored through their second. day of spring football practice. Some contact was ordered in offensive backfield group work during both sessions.

Half the NU squad drilled at 1:30 p.m., the remainder at 3:30 p.m. The contact came in a blocking drill for backs. While one back either a halfback or fullback blocked the end, another back would read the block and try to elude the would-be tackier. It was the first heavy rough work of the spring, but Devaney indicated the tempo would increase considerably next week.
