Versatile Howie Debus and Al Zikmund, iron-horse University of Nebraska spike art ists, collected seven wins together here on Williams field Saturday afternoon to spark their Scarlet mates to a TOVi-SS'i dual meet victory. Zikmund whipped up firsts in the century, 220 yd. dash and broad jump together with a tie in the high jump for a sum total of 204 points. Debus set a new discus record with a toss of 149 ft 6 in., galloped off with the javelin and tied mate Don James for pole vault honors. Howie's platter toss bettered the old mark of Ray Prachaska which stood at 146 ft 8 in. Breaks Ginn Mark. One other record was wiped off the William's field record boards when Lee Richardson, Cy clone runner, erased Bobby Ginn's 4:28 mark with a 4:27.8 perform ance. Shot put triumph went to Victor Schleich, who bested Iowa's touted Dick Bliss in a warm-up for Sat urday's Big Six championships. Pole vaulter Don James recorded an 11 ft 6 in. pole vault perform ance to tie with Debus. It was the dual meet season windup for Ed Weir's Scarlet forces who put their Big Six out door title on the block against Big Six schools Saturday afternoon in Memorial stadium. Zikmund Bright Spot Brightest light of the Husker cause was Al Zikmund s individual performance which supplied the punch which carried the Huskers to victory.

(Spec ial to the Nebraskan) Oklaho ma's kid track and baseball squads have been going thru the Kassenne Pass phase of their varsity careers this spring but should be all the tougher for it in the future. Composed of an all-freshman infield, two freshmen outfielders, a sophomore catcher and nearly an all-freshman pitching staff. Coach Howard "Splash" Spangen- bergs Sooner baseball team has won only two of nine games this spring, absorbing unprecedented 2-14 and 3-10 drubbings from the veteran Oklahoma Aggies, their hottest intra-state foe. Last year Oklahoma's great sophomoric club defeated the same Aggie team four times in a row, 5-1 and 5-1 at Norman and 7-5 and 11-6 at Stillwater, then Great Lakes Loses Men Two more athletes from the Great Lakes naval training sta tion are on their way toward bat tle stations against axis ships. Sam Harshaney, catcher on the Bluejacket 1942 chamiponship baseball team and Edward Norris, full back on the title Great Lakes football squad, have received commissions and will be assigned to sea duty immediately upon com pletion of indoctrination courses at eastern schools. marched off almost intact to war and jobs in defense industry, leav ing the Sooner kids to absorb the Aggie wrath this spring. A similar situation prevails in track. Such promising Sooner thinclads as Plato Andros, Lad die Birge, Harold Bellieu, Burton Cossey, Walter Dalton, Dee San ders, Bob Hodges, John snarpe, Elmer Heard, Owen Roof, Gordon" Holland, Willis Johnston, Charles Chancellor, Rudolph Carney, George Koettel, Arch Bradley, Le roy Esadoah. Lonnie Chapman, Hoyt Burns. Joy Wells, Fred Mc Kenzie and Warren Lehman, all of whom were eligible this spring, withdrew from the university and jumped into the war. As a result the adolescent Okla homa track team this spring has absorbed almost as many beltings as the nationally famous Knox football team of several years ago. They scored only five points in the Big Six Indoor meet, lost two dual meets to the North Tex as Teachers of Denton and won only two first places of 15 in the recent Nebraska-Oklahoma-Okla homa A. and M. triangular. However Sooner coaches see a lot of good in all these trim mings. The young Sooner ath letes are acquiring a world of priceless seasoning along with their defeats. If they are still in competition next year, or return after the war, they are bound to be a far more competent outfit Like soldiers, sailors and fliers, athletes learn far more from their defeats than from their victories. For Loop Sleet Manhattan, Kans., May 1 (Spe cial to the Daily Nebraskan) Mentor Ward Haylett is busy these days, conditioning his Wild cat track and Held squad for the oncoming Big Six derby in Lin coln next Saturday.
