Murtaugh was a key figure in the Pirates 1948 team, leading the National League in putouts for a second baseman, assists and double plays while batting .290, his best ever. Joe L. Brown, who retired recently as Pirate general manager, gave Murtaugh his first managing job in 1962 with the New Orleans farm club, which he guided to a fifth place finish while also playing part-time.

Murtaugh became third base coach of the Pirates in 1956, and he was promoted to manager midway in the 1957 season when Bobby Bragan was fired. The Pirates finished in second-place under Murtaugh in 1958 after placing last or next to it in the National League eight straight previous seasons.

Osborne distressed at report By Virgil Parknr Sports Editor Honolulu, Hawaii Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne was distressed when he arrived here Thursday afternoon with his Cornhusker football team to learn of an apparent of ticket selling practices to Nebraska home football games. The Daily Nebraskan, the student newspaper, reported Thursday morning that two of its reporters had purchased tickets from a bartender at Lincoln's Misty Lounge.

The insinuation was made that they were tickets which belonged to Nebraska football players. "This is the first I've heard of the whole thing," Osborne said upon his arrival. "I honestly know what the article said, so difficult for me to comment on it. one thing that I can say with certainty is that no member of my coaching staff or the athletic department is involved in any way. talk to our players every two weeks all season long about the NCAA rules regarding the resale of tickets," Osborne insists repeatedly tell them the consequences of doing such a thing 1 am confident in my mind that we as a coaching staff do everything in our power to prevent such a thing Osborne said he doesn't know if there is any substance to the accusations, or if in fact the tickets involved were tickets at one time owned by players One member of the NU athletic department, who declined the use of his name, remarked, "I suppose you could go to any, bar in Lincoln and the bartender might have some tickets for sale Where they come from or who they once belonged to is anybody's guess They certainly don't get them from the athletic department." The student newspaper's inquiry into the situation comes on the heels of a similiar probe into ticket selling practices at the University of Oklahoma.

The major difference in the two, however, is the fact that the accusations in Oklahoma claim the Sooner assistant coaches have been involved in aiding the players in the sale of their tickets at inflated prices Misty Lounge owner Bob Milton is in Honolulu, but was unavailable for comment Thursday Bullets snap losing string Atlanta (UPI) Washington, paced by Len Robinson's career-high 33 points, defeated the Atlanta Hawks 102-90 Thursday night, snapping the five- game losing streak.

But Washington responded with seven straight mints NU rallies to victory Wisconsin Kathy Hawkins and Marta Pritchard sparked a strong second half defensive effort and helped the Nebraska women's basketball team to a 63-49 win over Grand View of Des Moines Thursday night at the NU Coliseum. Nebraska, now 7-3, jumped to an early lead and held it through the first half going into the intermission with a 28-26 lead.

Now it must use its training to annihilate the bird Cockfights, a sport followed by the few who are interested in it and the bird owners, flourishes in a tin structure just south of Hswwsawawawa while seme lay down bets on their favorite.

The combatants peck at each other, getting more irritable by the second. Both cocks are fitted with sharp metal spikes attached to their spurs. The two birds are placed about three feet from each other and at the command are released by the owners. Unlike boxers, who usually spar around while feeling each other out to the early the cocks are anxious for the kill At a distance of about six inches, the birds jump, spread wings and drive their metal srd the opponent.

Moet of the fights are not decided in the early going When one cock has finally been stuck with the spike in the right places often enough, he lies a heap rather than try and take more punishment from his opponent. When this happens the referee restarts the fight after a short break with one bird subbing at the other while it lies helpless in the arena. Finally the owner will concede and remove his dying bird. The winners, on the other hand, are collected, taken home and pumped full of antibiotics in hopes their wounds will heal so they can be fought again in three months.

While battles continue, spectators follow the action, drop by the snack bar, talk about past fights or ones to come Some fight goers merely relax with their wives and children or girl friends huddled in the stands, which can seat about 250 persons When the evening has ended, the victor is awarded a trophy and the loser usually leaves with fewer cocks and toss money The only tribute toft to the magnificent birds are the Mood and feathers which Utter the floor..
