Bob Simmons will probably run
another exhibition race against
freshman Don Morris in the 440 in
an attempt to bring his :49.5 mark
in the quarter-mile even lower, as
an added attraction to the Kansas
State meet tomorrow night. Sim
mons fairly flew around the track
in his showing at the KU meet,
and his time in doing it would have
Fhown some of the boys who arc
burning up the eastern boards a
thing or two. Simmons had to miss
the Millrose meet because of his
law studies, but may run if an
exhibition quarter is arranged for
the Big Six meet in Kansas City
two weeks from now.
Hay Tomes, Husker 155 "pound

Iowa U. and the Big Six cham
pionships to go.

semesters previous to this one. . .
there are six men at KU who aver
age C-2 in the high jump but none
of them are eligible. . .the best
four sholputteis at KU are under
the scholastic weather, too... and

star at KU, wandered out to
Compton junior college, the same
U.S.C. haven which one lied Lit

Kansas has three games, one
each against Missouri, Oklahoma
and Iowa State, after the Husker
game, and can win the conference
title by coming through to victory
in their final tour contests.
Need win.
Nebraska, meanwhile, needs to
win to stay out of the conference
cellar, and although the Huskers
slumped at Iowa State, they will
give Kansas a long evening if they
hit the form they showed in get
ting 61 points against Kansas
State.
The conference standings may
end lip in two three-way ties, one
for the cellar and one for the
title, should Kansas beat Missouri,
Iowa State and Nebraska, but lose
to Oklahoma while the Sooners
and Tigers were beating Iowa
State, K.U., Missouri and the
Sooners would be tied for the title
with 8 wins and 2 losses, while
the other three teams would have
2 wins and 8 defeats apiece.

highest scoring averages in the
conference, and Don Ebling will

on for base ball llus spring nave

three pitchers from last year
Llod madeke, Rube Denning
and Bill Brune. as well as out

Sidney Held, sophomore basket

Hawkeye yearlings
win 54-45; Bob Ginn
stars for young Huskers
Nebraska's freshman team lost
54 to 45 to Iowa's U's frosh in a
telegraphic meet despite Bob
Ginn's triple win in the 880, mile
and 2-mile.
The little Madison runner turned
in 1:58.7 in the half mile; a second
better than the University record,
and 10:01.2 in the two-mile. Wayne
Blue, Tecumseh, won the shot with
a heave of 47-7 '4 as Vic Schleich,
Lincoln was second and Charley
Hoffman, Lincoln third as the NU
frosh swept that event.
Clyde Taylor of Lexington and
Ralph King, Waterloo, the cream
of last spring's high school hurdle
crop, tied for first in the 60 highs
in 8 seconds flat. Nebraska shared
another first place as Don Morris,
Scotlsbluff, did :52.5 in the 440,
same as R. Todd of Iowa.
Shut out in 60.'
The Nebraska frosh were shut
out in the broad jump, and the 60
yard dash. One of the" outstanding
marks of the meet was the :6.9
flight of 60 yard lows turned in by
Wilson of Iowa. Taylor of the
Huskers got a :7.1 in that event,
but had to be content with a tie
for second and third with Pullman
of Iowa.
Michael of Iowa was the lead

high jump at 6 feet, the broad
jump at 21-3, and tied with team
