Results of relay carnivals this
tnring indicate inai one 01 me
hottest rivalries in history should
occur when the conference schools
thpr for the Big Six outdoor
fmrk and field championships at
Memorial stadium un mdjr unu
23 Last year the Huskers bowed
to the Kansas Jayhawks by a slim
three-point margin in a meet that
Was not settled until the final
event, the mine relay. Victory in
this race gave the KU thinclads
the championship with Coach Ed
Weirs HusKers running secona.
Altho the conference meet is stiil
a few weeks in the future, early
attempts to preaict tne imt cnam
pion are not out of order.
Several definite weaknesses are
present in the Nebraska team at
the present writlnr. With Dick
Piderit ineligible, the Scarlet
ireieht corps Is scarcely visible
Piderit took third in the Indoor
shot put and was improving; stead
y. The Huskers' outdoor show
infs have produced no point win
ners in either the discus or shot
to take up the slack.
Another weakness will be pres
ent if Loyal Hurlbert is unable
to get back into the good graces
of his instructors. The Ord fresh
man is temporarily inelegible, but
there is hope that he may be free
to compete when the outdoor meet
rolls around. Quartermile, half
rr.ile and mile relay events will
suffer if Hurlbert is kept out of
action.
Coach Tom Botts' Missouri
Tigers look to be a major force
In the conference championship.
With four top-notch hurdlers,
sprinter Harry Guth, weight ex
perts Mel Sheehan and Ed Quirk
and Dirk Killough, a better-than-average
880 man, the Bengals will
rate plenty of attention.
The Huskers only track appear
ance before the Big Six meet
looms as aa inviting bit of ath
letic entertainment. With Mis
souri and Wisconsin entered in a
triangular, the affair will include
several athletes capable of cut
ting a fancy figure in the NCAA
meet
In addition to the afore-mentioned
Missouri standouts, the en
try field will include Wisconsin's
ace vaulter, who tied Husker
ace Don Cooper at 13 feet 6 inches

Monday afternoon. Means too
