THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Trackmen trip Sooeiers G2-42
Littler gets
6.2 seconds
in close sixty
Nebraska's indoor track team
passed its last test before the Big
Sir championship with flying
colors, as the Husker powerhouse
The Huskers won clear-cut first
places in ten events and a share
of an eleventh, while the best Ok
lahoma could do was a victory in
the relay, and two out of three
places in a triple tie for first in
the high jump.
It was Red Littler, the Mitchell
comet, who paced the Huskers.
First the redhead nosed out
Grinnin' Grandaddy Orv Matthews
of the Sooners in the 60, as he did
it in 6.2. That ties Heye Lam-
bertus' stadium record, and the
accepted world's record, which has
been tied more times than a shoe
string.
Wins 440.
Littler came back in the 440 a
few minutes later, and easily beat
Bill Lyda, the Sooner sophomore
in :50.3. He again broke Bob
Simmons' old indoor record of
:50.4, but couldnt equal the :50.1
he did three weeks ago against
Kansas.
Littler won the broad jump, too.
He got 21-10 as Bill Smutz did not
compete. JacK Benger, who will
attempt to become eligible for the
Big Six championships, had 22-84
but his mark did not count in the
standings.
Harold Brooks was in on two
of the most thrilling finishes of
the evening, as he eked out mile
and half-mile victories. He slowed
up on the last lap of the mile to
let Bill Cook catch up with him,
but Ray Gahan of the Sooners
turned on a ferocious kick to pass
Cook, and come within inches of
catching Brooks, who won in the
comparatively slow time of 4:35.4.
Lyda edged out
The Gothenburger had to fight
his way past Lyda on the home
stretch of the half mile, to win in
1:59.3, which was better than the
old indoor record, but two-tenths
of a second off the mark Brooks
set last Friday night
Bill Smutz, who was also a dou
ble winner, furnished the fourth
narrow win for Nebraska, as he
lunged at the tape to beat Jack
Morris in 7.8 seconds. He beat
Morris more easily to win the lows
in 7.1 seconds.
LeRoy Walker? the boy who has
been training on gelatine, won the
2-mile run with yards to spare in
10:02.2, as Dale Garrels finished
second. That was the only runner
up spot the Huskers got all night
Harold Hunt beat out Harry
Fender in the pole vault at 13 feet
while Ed Wibbels got his best
competitive put of the year, 48-10
to beat Byron Potter in the shot
Dal Nannen tied high jumpers
Morris and Flippo at 5-74 in the
high jump, while the Sooner relay
team of Matthews, Benson, Coo
gan and Gahan won in 3:36.2.
Bob Simmons couldn't better 49
seconds, and had to be content
with a good :49.5 in his exhibition
against frosh Don Morris in the
440. Bob Ginn got 1:59.4 in the
880 frosh exhibition as Chuck Old-
father, Harlan Culwell and Jim
Brogan followed him to the tape.
Gym team
breaks even
Nebraska's gymnastics team
won over Colorado university's
Biff Seven eastern division cham
pions Thursday night for the sec
ond straight year, winning by
3964 to 379 V. Men taking first
place for Nebraska were Johnson
on the parallel bars, Cadwell on
the horse and Dyer on the rings.
Friday night Greeley State's
gymnastic team defeated the
Huskers 180 14 to 162, taking first
in three of five events. Proffitt of
Nebraska took first on the high
bar, and Cadwell on the horse
Greeley won the prallel bars, fly
ing rings and the mates.
Wrestlers
drop match
to Hawkeyes
Nebraska's hapless wrestling
team dropped their final dual of
the season as Iowa U. beat them
here yesterday 23 to 4.
Most exciting match of the
afternoon was in the 136 pound
class when George Cockle of the
Huskers drew with Newell Ingle.
Newton Copple won the Huskers'
only decision as he beat Taylor
of the Hawkeyes in an overtime
period.
Two Falls.
Iowa won two falls, as Ralph
Geppert threw Harold Walkup in
7 minutes flat with a body scis-
sore and bar arm. Paul Whitmore,
Hawkeye high scorer, threw Al
Mulliken in 7:36 using a body
press-spread eagle.
Art Johnson decisioned the
Huskers' Bill Rumbolz in the
heavyweight division in the after
noon's comic match. Rumbolz, who
got the heavyweight job after
Royal Kahler and George Seemann
were forced out with injuries,
stayed with the touted Johnson
for the limit.
Bill Sherman beat Milt Kuska
in the 121 pound division; Phil
Millen beat Ed McConnell at 128
pounds, while Captain Clarence
Kemp decisioned Ray Tomes in a
fine 155 pound match on the part
of both men.
Sixty per cent of Columbia uni
versity's graduates continue their
studies in the university s ad
vanced schools.
Bad weather
greets start
of grid drills
89 report to Jones
for practice; squad
divided into two teams
Faced with the usual jinx of
poor spring practice weather,
Major "Biff Jones was more than
consoled at the sight of the 89
football candidates who reported
Friday for the first day of practice.
An urgent need for the new field
house was again seen as players
worked out in the crowded quar
ters of the stadium. Jones drilled
the Huskers on plays after divid
ing them into Harvard and Yale
squads. Frosh Vic Schleich and
Charles Duda were the only year
lings to break into the two top
lineups.
Yale Squad.
The first Yale combination car
ried only veterans with Charley
Carper, Lincoln, and Bob Ludwick,
Lincoln, ends; Royal Kahler, Grand
Island, and Forrest Behm, Lin
coln, tackles; George Abel, Lin
coln, and George Stearns. North
Platte, guards; Bob Burruss,
Omaha, center.
Backfield starters were Herman
Ro'-irig, Lincoln; Vike Francis,
Lincoln; Bob Kahler, Grand Island,
and Bus Knight, Lincoln.
In the lineup for Harvard were
Ray Prochaska, Ulysses, and
Charles Duda, South Sioux City,
ends; Clarence Herndon, Grand
Island, and Vic Schleich, Lincoln,
tackles; Warren Alfson, Wisner,
and Eddie Echwartzkopf, Lincoln,
guards, and Fred Meier, Lincoln,
center.
The backfield had Harry Hopp,
Hastings; Roy Petsch, Seottsbluff;
Henry Rohn, Fremont, and Walt
Luther, Cambridge.
Two missing.
Missing were lettermen Bob De
Fruiter, who is ineligible for next
fall, and Hubert Monsky, who will
concentrate on his studies this
spring.
Huskers
get third
in swim meet
Iowa State outclasses
K-State and NU to win
Big Six by 25 points
Special to DAILY NEBRASKAN.
AMES, Iowa March 2 Iowa
State college's Big Six swimming
champions retained their crown
for the third consecutive time,
winning the Big Six meet held at
Ames today. Kansas State and
Nebraska, with 38 and 32 points
respectively, followed the Cyclone
total of 63 points.
Ralph worden, Nebraska diver,
lost the crown he won last year,
when Al Gage, Cyclone sophomore,
nosed him out by nine-tenths of
a point to win. Gage, Worden
and Kansas's Koehling were duel
ing against each other all the way,
with Gage going out in front on
his last dive. Marshall Stover of
Kansas State and Bordy, Nebras
ka, followed the trio in the results.
Eight records fell in the meet
with Iowa State setting five new
ones, Kansas State, two and Okla
homa, one. Starting the competi
tion with the 300 yard medley
relay, Iowa State set a record
time of 3:14.5, lowering the mark
of 3:20.95 set by Nebraska in
1937. Oklahoma and Nebraska
placed second and third. The rest
of the meet remained at a high
pace with Roger Adams, Iowa
State, and Stover setting two new
marks each. Gene Armstrong
closed his collegiate competition
by holding the 150 yard down for
the third year.
In the preliminaries, held Fri
day, six records were lowered in
the time trials, two of these
marks, the 200 yard breast stroke
and the 440 yard free style, stood
up against Saturday's record
breaking surge.
Nebraska stayed within strik
ing distance of second place with
the balance of power shown by
the Huskers. Placing in every
event but two, the 150 yard back
stroke and 400 yard relay, they
picked up enough points to beat
out Oklahoma 23 points and
Kansas 12.
