Track Squads
Shatter Six
Old Records
By Gene Sherman
COLUMBIA, Mo. Nebraska's
chances for another Big Six track
title took an upward trend yester
day as the Husker trackmen raced
to a 78-48 victory over the strong
Missouri Tigers in a dual meet
held at Columbia.
The highlight of the meet was
the shattering of six records
Bobby Ginn loafed to a 4:24.8
mile it was still good enough to
break the meet record of 4:25.5.
Howard Debus hurled the jave
lin over the 200 foot mark for the
second straight Saturday as he
broke Herb Grote s distance with
a toss of 204 ft. 3 inches.
NU Sweeps Discus.
Ed Wibbels heaved the discus
147 feet 10 inches to better the
old mark of 145 feet 5 inches
which was set by Ray Prohaska
last year. Nebraska swept this
event by having Debus and Eisen
hart finishing second and third
respectively.
Missouri entrants which set new
records were Aussieker and Stef
fey. Aussieker heaved the shot
a distance of 49 feet 10 inches to
break his record. Steffley Jumped
6 feet Vi inch to grab honors.
Joggerst Outstanding.
The most outstanding individual
of the meet was Owen Joggerst,
Missouri sophomore, who won
both the 100 and 220 yard dashes.
Joggerst ran the century in the
fast time of 9.7 and then upset
Red Littler in the furlong when
he edged out the readhead by
inches. Littler was disqualified in
the 100 yard dash when he broke
two times before the starting gun
sounded.
Bill Smutz was the high point
man of the afternoon when he
tallied 14 points. Smutz took firsts
in the 120 high hurdles and broad
jump and second in the 220 low
hurdles and a third in the century.
Harold Hunt quit pole vaulting
after he had won at 13 feet and
then went over to the high jump
ing event to take a second.

THAT Ralph Tucker of the Oklahoma Stardom is really what
he's cracked up to be. . . He is a sophomore and first crept into the
headlines on sport pages throughout the Big Six when he transferred
from KU to Oklahoma for basketball season. . . He was an all-conference
selection in the round ball sport and then he turned his atten
tion to tennis in which he is reputed to be even better than in basket
ball. He led the Sooner tennis team in their onslaughter against the
Husker racquet-weilders. . . He played Harry Ankeny and Harry is
one of the top players in the conference, defeating the riumber one
man from both Minnesota and Iowa State previously. . . Ankeny
bowed by a 6-4 count in the first set and 6-2 in the second set. . .
Then Tucker paired with a team mate in the doubles, Drew Putty,
and the duo dropped Ankeny and his mate, George Howard. 6-0
and 6-1 to further assert his tennis ability. . . Besides being out
standing in these two sports, he is also an honor Btudent at the
Sooner institution and one of the best singers in the University glee
club. . . Some guys have all the luck.
Ted Gwynn, potent Sooner linesman, turned in a torrid golf
after the Husker-Oklahoma links duel was completed. . . Shooting
on the Lincoln Country club greens, Gwynn posted a 68 total for the
18 holes which was four under par. . . Byron Adams, Husker student
coach, was three over the limit but Bwynn collected three points,
taking him on the out nine, the in nine and the whole match. . . It
was a good exhibition.
CHARLIE Black, KU sophomore star, has somewhat the same
category as does Mr. Tucker. . . Until the cage season started in
the conference Black was not known even at the home front. . .
But when the Jayhawks opened the basket season against Oklahoma,
Black potted 25 points and immediately he was big news. . . He
finished the season at a fast clip and was an all-conference selec
tion. . . Now he is scoring points galore in track togs. . . He special
izes in the weight events, competing in the pole vault, broad jump,
shot put, discus and javelin. . . His distances, heights', etc., are not
record-breaking but he is capturing important points for the Jay
team in their dual meets.
NEBRASKA'S crippled track squad met, Missouri yesterday
afternoon in their final tune-up before the important Big Six track
and field championships are run off next week end en home cinders.
. . . The squad has been hit by about everything this season. . .
Illness is in the form of Red Littler's pneumonia, inedibility in the
case of several middle distance runners, more ineHbility in the
sprints, Don Morris pulling a muscle in the Drake relays: all of
these things have combined to injure Husker hopes. . . But no matter
how badly these hopes have been injured, we're still betting on the
Scarlet thin clads to come through to another title. . . One thing
the seniors will not be given much chance to write their names upon
the sacred book known as "record" if things shape up the way we
think they will. . . The squad is not too big this year, resembling the
Oklahoma indoor aggregation.
THIS factorings home only too clearly the necessity for the
boys to do double duty and in some places triple dnty if the pennant
is going to stay at Nebraska. . . Litler will double up in the sprints,
Ginn will run both the half and the mile, Smutz will" run the hurdles
plus the century, Hunt will be in both high jump and pole vault and
the rest of the weight men will be in every event. . . When there is
this much doubling up it makes it pretty hard to win several events
and within record time, too.
N men are wondering what's wrong. . . I &(ms that some
of the innocent student populace think that the big jamboree next
Saturday is only for N men and dates but in realty, the N men are
merely sponsoring the party. . . This is traditionally the fun party
on the campus and this year will be no exception. . . Presentation
of the "Queen of Queens," Tony Pastor's band and tat atmosphere
will give party-goers the best fun of the year. . . All U men are
selling tickets. '
