All officials of the meet most be complimented for their
fine work especially the several members of the faculty that
served as judges for several of the events.
Dr. R. G. Clapp, head of the university's Physical Educa
tion Department was back again as the head offiical for the
pole vault event; Harold Hamil, Dean of the School of Journal-

director, served as Clerk of the Course.
Horney undoubtedly was the best dressed person at the
meet. Roily arrived at the stadium Satrday morning attired in
a loud plaid shirt and a "rah rah" hat. The afternoon found
Roily dressed in a smooth sport coat with the same "rah rah"
hat.
Jack Traccy, Missouri dash man. was the hard luck man
f the meet. Jack's arches fell just as the morning prelims
started, thus making it necessary for the Tiger mentor to
scratch him from the entpy list.
A detail of "Junior Birdmen" was sent over to the stad
ium during the morning prelims. Thinking that they too had
been entered in the meet, their thoughts were quickly changed
when the order was to set the hurdles on the track and to re
move them after the event had taken place.
It seemed to us that the "Frosh" took over the meet in
grand style. Tom Scofield, high jump winner, is only 17 years
old and Mel Sheehan, Mizzou weight star, is only lb.
Scofield usually high jumps over the 6'2" mark and
Sheehan easily tosses the discus over 140 feet. Not bad for a
couple of kids.
Coach Chauncey Simpson of the victorious Tigers isn't the
only person in his family that knows anything about track
meets. The Mizzou mentor has a brother who once held 11 world
records. This same brother was also member of the Olympic
team that visited Hungary a few decades ago.
Keith Parker, Missouri javelin thrower, doesn't confine his
talents to track only. The burly Missourian is the state AAU
diving champion and one of the most talented musicians on
campus. Keith is now considering an offer from band leader
Les Brown.
Tiger Hill Hlackwell, who tied with Howard Debus for
pole vaulting honors, wears football shoes with track cleats
attached. This is to save the wear and tear on a couple of weak
ankles.
There was more sportsmanship shown on the part of the
participants than the spectators yesterday. It was a common
sight to see Tom Scofield and Hig Klmer Aussieker giving ad
vice to their outclassed opponents. It was also a common sight
to hear the spectators give a runner the "ol razzin" when he
was outclassed.
Before the activities got underway, Bob Deindorfer, sport3
editor of the University of Missouri paper, predicted that the
favorite Tigers would chalk up 81 markers, nice going, uod.
the meet's big traditional duel, and
set up the only record of the day.
Missouri raced to the lead after
three events Saturday, uncorked
barrage of strength and was
never headed. The Simpsonmen
dominated the sprints, hurdles, and
placed in all but one eventthe
avelin.
Debus Big Gun.
Iron horse Howie Debus sparked
Scarlet competitors by aggregat
ing a total of 14 points. Big
Howie grabbed a discus victory,
tied for the pole vault honors,
placed second in the shot, tho fail
ing to defend his title in the jave
lin. Wear and tear of an iron-man
role showed on the Husker ace
who tossed 152 feet 4 inches for
his discus victory and vaulted 12
feet 3 inches to tie with Missouri's
Blackwell.
Supporting Debus were Bob
Bowles with a quartermile second,
Al Zlkmund with points in
the century, and broad jump, Vic
Schleich with a shot put second,
Jim Brogan with a fourth in the
mile, Dick Petring with a fifth in
the high jump and Dean Kratz
