Mentor Ed Weir and five Corn
husker track and field performers
departed from Memorial stadium
at 8 a. m. today, bound for the
triangular with Oklahoma and
Oklahoma A. & M. Saturday.
Transportation difficulties, cou
pled with the fact that only first
places count in the triangular,
were given as reasons by Weir for
not shipping more men to the bat
tie field.
A tough blow wail struck Weir
as he made up his traveling list
Wednesday when announcement
was made that Jim Brogan, dis
tance veteran, was quarantined
for scarlet fever. Brogan has been
developing rapidly outdoors, and
clipped the halfmile route in close
to two minutes flat in several
workouts.
Weir will use both Dean Kratz
and Creighton Hale, frosh poten
tials, in the 880 race. Kratz will
also run the quarter and Hale
the mile.
Al Zikmund is slated for a
workhorse role in the discus, 100,
220, high jump and broad jump.
Vic Schleich will compete in shot
and discus with Howie Debus
slated for javelin, discus, pole
vault and shot put chores.

Nebraska as a Big Six member
