After 11 events here Saturday Nebraska's scarlet and cream cinder machine, sparked by Bobby Ginn and Red Littler, led Lou Novak's versatile Army squad by a single point. Thwarted by heavy Cadet totals In the remaining jumping events, the Weir kids rallied to win top two places in the discus and romp home in record mile relay time. Then came the booming voice over the address system: Army 78, Nebraska 77 V4, Columbia 7. Ginn Sets Record. Sunlight that streamed down the green Cadet oval was no brighter than the performance of Nebraska's mighty distance mite, Bob Ginn. Bespectacled Bobby outsped all opposition in the half mile for a new track record of 1:54.7, just 15 minutes after he had eased to a 4:22 mile victory. Jut-jawed Ked Llttler'a return to form from the sick bed was an other Husker individual feature. Red clipped the century tape in 10.1 and won top 220 lnuivU with a neat 22.5 run.

Mizzou Tigers Outlast Husker Diamond Nine Nebraska Losing Streak Extended as Yesterday's Game Is Postponed Missouri battera laid down an 11 hit barrage and took advantage of nine Husker errors to defeat the Huskers 10-7 in the series opener Friday. This defeat extend ed Nebraska's losing streak to five games. Missouri opened the scoring by driving five runs across in the third frame. A misplay of a sure double play by the Nebraska key stone combination was the leading factor in the Tigers' big inning. In the last half of the same inning, Nebraska rallied by sending home three runs. Al Artman's two base hit, which rolled over first base, sparked the Husker rally. Gorson Hits Homer Leading the invaders at the bat were Gorson and Hoffman. Gor son had a homer to his credit, while Hoffman smacked out three singles. Al Artman pounded out a homer and a double which accounted for four of the Huskers' runs. Bob Heinzelman drove out three sin gles for his afternoon's work.

Lentz Conducts Band Concert in Fremont Prof. Don A. Lentz of the music department conducted a band and orchestra clinic in Rapid City, b D., May 2. If' 1 ' If r f i SpoJdA. ii)hb By Bob Miller .a NEBRASKA'S diamond nine took it on the nose again on Friday when the University of Missouri dropped them by a 9-7 count.... One thing: about the Husker team, they have gotten the short end of the count every time this season but not by a very great margin. .. .The Tigers and the Iowa State Cyclones appear to be the team to beat but I won't sell Oklahoma short because they have quite an array down at the Norman institution. In the Big Ten baseball league, the Iowa U. Hawkeyes are defi nitely the toast of the conference. .They have administered sound whippings to the best in the conference The Hawks have an un usually good pitching staff and their ability to hit has been proven many times by the size of the score they have run up on unsuspecting opponents. WELL, the bugle's blare and the starter's commands- have come and gone down in the Blue Grass country as the old granddaddy of all races, the Kentucky Derby, is mere history 'and tradition at least for another year. .. .Eddie Arcaro, Whirlaway's great chauffeur, had a great time deciding which of two horses from one stable he would pMa In 4h -lircif. UIa tia,4 kun tIHinn hm hflth asH hp rftlllH nnt . - a S decide which one was faster. . .If he made the wrong choice and did not ride the winner, he stood to lose $7,000. ... If he rode the one that merely came in, he would receive nothing more than expenses.... It was a hard decision to make. LAST year's Derby was one we'll never forget. . . .Whirlaway was not the favorite because Whirly had a fault. .. .That fault was to bear out on the turns cutting his chances of winning. .. .Arcaro was chosen to ride the big red horse and in their first get-to-gether, Eddie brought Whirly in the winner of the 67th annual running ... Then followed a string of wins that placced Whirly's owner in the seven figure category. .. .As a four year old Whirly has not shown the necessary ability but should come around in time. BOB Swisher, Northwestern minute man last year, and George Svendsen, Minnesota line stalwart of a few years back, are going to be in Iowa City, Iowa, next fall, helping Bernie Bierman put the air cadets through their football paces. ..Both will be on the athletic staff. ..The Huskers play the air cadets next fall but there is, one ray of hope left for the Scarlet squad... Ven with Bierman, Swisher, Svendsen et al. to coach them and with the cream of the college crop as material, not one of the air cadets can weigh dver 200 pounds. . .This takes, a load off of several minds and feet also. WEST Point's track team is not to be sniffed at... The Army cadets whom the Huskers will meet on Saturday took Brown univer sity into camp last Saturday 99-26... The Army boys swept through to victory in 12 out of the 141 events and took all the places in the mile, two mile, 880, pole vault, discus and broad jump... The Husker cindermen left this morning for the long eastern jaunt. . .They will be back on Monday or Tuesday. THE N-club has come out into the open with plans for their annual N-club jamboree. . .The athletes have been working hard on perfecting plans for the dance and now have announced that Tony Pastor will be the top fight band featured. . .Genie Baird will be quite an eyeful as the songstress for the band.
