iEars3ay, 'May 6, 1943 DAILY NEBRASKAN ur r n jvl D22lfl Bog Mil BY BOB DEINDORFER. Daily Columbian.) COLUMBIA, Mo., May 5. (Spe cial to the Daily Nebraskan). In preparation for the sBig Six out door track and field carnival May 8 In Lincoln, Missouri's speeding Tigers won every event and scored second In all but two to defeat Washington university and Rolla School of Mines yesterday after noon. According to unofficial tabula tions, the Tiger squadron placed second in the Drake Relays a week ago. Illinois' track and field men carted 26 medals back to their Chamnaien stronehold and Tiger athletes won 20. In the matter of winning medals, Notre Dame braked into third place with 15 of the Des Moines medallions. Three Stars. The three stars from the relays: Capt. Joe Shy. Maurice Alexander, and Elmer Aussieker piled on the points for Missouri in the three way attraction. It was Maurice Alexander, the newest star to rise in the Tigerland athletic sky, who was crowned high point man. With three firsts and a second, Alex cradled 18 points onto the Tiger column. Showing improvement over his pitch of 51 feet with which he won the Drake title a week ago, Big Elmer Aussieker putted the shot 51 feet 7 inches. This high-tra Jectory toss stands as an all-time Tiger high. The burly weight man strung out one heave of 51 feet 11 inches, but stepped on the wooden ring after the throw, disqualifying It. Aussieker placed second to Mel Sheehan, giant Missouri freshman, in thediscus. Sheehan whirled the platter 147 feet 2'2 inches. Keith Parker, junior fullback on the football squadr threw the javelin for the first time this season and threw it 177 feet 1' inches which was good for first place in the meet. Handy-man Alexander won the high hurdles in 14.7 seconds, the lows in 24.3 seconds, the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet 1 inches, and jumped his way to second in the running high jump. It was on his last trial that Alex threw himself over 23 feet from the take-off boards to win the broad jump. A pair of Tigers, Carl Nichols end Ralph Carter, took second and third in this. Steffey Wins. Dale Steffey, Big Six Jumping king last year, won the high jump with the poor height of 5 feet 10 inches. Capt. Joe Shy knocked two legs from the throne of the Big Six dash king, Owen Joggerst. Shy won the 100-yard dash in 9.6 sec onds, with Joggerst wheeling in second by six feet. Shy had been left at the blocks in this and didn't go to the fore before the halfway mark. After the race the starter apologized to Shy, saying he should have called them back. Twenty-one and two-tenths sec onds was thctime posted by Shy for the 220-yard dash. Joggerst trailed in second by 20 feet. Be cause his back was a little lame, Shy didn't compete in the low hurdles. Bilr Blackwell won the vault with a clearance of 12 feet 6 inches. A pair of Tiger team mates and friends, two boys who room to gether on thetrack trips, deliber ately tied for first in the mile. Coach Chauncev Simpson Tues day named 25 members of the Missouri track squad for the tsig Six championships at Lincoln Sat urday. It looks like the Tigers, with overwhelming strength in the sprints and hurdles and good tal ent m the field events, would re peat the conference victory they won two months ago in the indoor championships at Kansas City. The Bengals will be particularly strong in the 100-yar and 220 yard dashes, with Joe Shy and Owen Joggerst, and in the hurdles, with Maurice Alexander, Bud Gartiser and Shy. Joggerst is a defending champion, but has not been in top shape this spring fol lowing an illness. He has been running second to Shy, who turned up 9.6 seconds in the century and 21.2 in the fur long in a triangular meet here last spring. Alexander, pick of an unusually fine crop of Missouri hurdlers this season, also competes in the broad jump, doing around 23 feet con sistently. In broad jump the Tigers also have Carl Nichols, former Kansas City high school star, who missed the indoor season because of an appendicitis operation. Elmer Tosses. Elmer Aussieker, who set a Mis souri record of 51 feet 7 inches in the shot put last Saturday, is the top performer in the field events. The Tigers have a couple of 13 foot pole vaulters in Paul Collins and Bill Blackwell and a discus thrower who is crowding 150 feet in Mel Sheehan. Missouri entries : MHr ran: RstI. Bwwrth.

Team Forfeits Instead of the Phi Delta meeting the AGRs for the in tramural Softball title tonight, the Phi Gams will oppose the Alpha Gamma Rho lads at 5:00 p. m. tonight. A notice from the dean's of fice ruled that Kenny Maser, star Phi Delt pitcher, had dropped school a week ago and was therefore not eligible for play. Consequently the Phi Delts were forced to forfeit their Wednesday victory over the Phi Gams instead of en tering the finals. So the Fiji athletes still re tain a chance for the Jack Best trophy. If the Phi Gams lose to the AGRs tonight and the ATOs lose to the Phi Delts, the final compiliation for the Best award will be: Phi Gams 846, ATOs 843. If both Fijis and Taus win, the final count will be Phi Gams 866, Taus 853. 80 the Taus must win and the Fijis lose tonight if Alph Tau Omega Is to win. It will be the ace Fiji pitcher, Harry Fox, against a hard-hitting AGR club. ATO Pitcher Ken Elson may be too much for a "Maser-lees" Phi Delt club. By Norris Anderson Sports Editor Hard Luck Trophies ... If a hard luck trophy be among the intramural awards on display at the department, we would nominate the Phi Delts for the award. Under the managership of Norm Hoelk, the Phi Delt ath- etes rallied from seventh place in the January Jack Best standings to their present third place spot. Victories in water polo, B basketball and second place in A maple play brought he glass house lad3 far up the point letter. Tuesday the Phi Delt club currently was tabbed as favorite in the intramural Softball play after topping the Phi Gams in semifinal play but one matter was overlooked, the eligibil ity of Kenny Maser, star pitcher. A registrar report to the in tramural office late "Wednesday revealed that Maser had dropped school April 28. Whether the Phi Delts were aware of the eligibility rule or not, intramural heads could not let a performer who was not in school perform. If such liberty were granted, every softball team in the league could come up with additional talent. So the 16th & R lads had to forfeit to the Phi Gams. Though a potential softball title and second place in final standings was at stake, the Phi Delts took the tough decision ike true sportsmen. "We have to maintain rules in Intramural play if our program is to function smoothly," said Tom Brogan, acting M director. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." All other matter aside, we have a sneaking hunch that there was no better softball combine competing than the Phi Delts. Pitcher, Benny Kohout, catcher; Howie Chapin, first base; Lee Chapin, third base, and Dick son, second base, are leading candidates for the all-intramural nine. Maser's inelisribilitv was also a touch blow for the ATO house, who supposedly cinched the Jack Best award on basis of the Fiji loss. lr; " , . v.. .- ' "She falls for any men who wears an Arrow Tier Nothing loots so well on a male chest as an Arrow Tie.
