' Juesday, May '-Milter "3" f FT! tirhrU I Si, Husher hurdle twins . . . There comes a time when every man likes to sit back and deliver a fevf of his rocking chair musings on topics both pertinent and im pertinent. Quite along the perti nent line is a bit of discussion about Ed Weir's run and jump proteges, Bill Smutz and Ralph King. Smutz Is the veteran of the combination and his name on the roster of any race generally means top flight competition. Newcomer and apparently fine material in the raw, is Ralph King. King is a big, lanky chap who just keeps plugging away and does that job of plugging so well that he either runs second to or beats fellow Husker Smutz. . King has tallied two firsts over SmuU in the last two Husker meets. It is our opinion that Ed Weir must feel nice about this hurdle situation when Smutz and King are entered in the high and low events. With a running combina tion like that, the track mentor and fans alike, feel that here is one event that the Huskers are sure of winning. You can count on either one of the two to bust the tape first against any com petition that they might meet in this part of the country. From the looks of things, Willy Smutz has it over King by a slight margin as far as speed is con cerned. This is given splendid sup port by the fact that Smutz has never been beaten in the low hurdle event. This particular race is one built more around speed than jumping. King of the long legs, on the other hand, finds his calling in the high hurdle event Nice to note about here is the fact that both of these boys will be back next year. Smutz is a junior completing his second year of competition while King Is fin ishing his first year of competition After a stiff bout ...pause and ...ill 5 YCU TASTE ITS QUALITY Ll.NXUL. ivtA-n' Husker nine drop Kansas tussel 4 to 3 A combination of errors and screwy umpire decisions caused the Husker baseball nine to drop their game with Kansas, 4 to 3, yesterday afternoon. The Huskers took a 3 to 1 lead early in the game but Old Sol came into play his part when the blinding glare of the sun in left field caused errors of the Nebras ka man at that post Kansas sneaked in a run in the fifth because of these fielding er rors and the seventh inning saw them in the lead. In the seventh, the visiting runner on first base was allowed to continue his home ward course without returning to touch base after the fly ball had been caught. A bad Husker throw from the field sent him in for the winning Kansas score. Ernie Swanson, who carried the mound duties for the Huskers, pitched tight- ball thruout the game with the Kansas hits well distributed over the nine innings. Iowa State went down before the Huskers Saturday afternoon. It was the first win of the season for the Huskers. BaiiqUCL ontinued from Page 1.) will go these highest of band honors.
