Wisconsin Out. Originally scheduled as a tri angular meet involving the Uni versity of Wisconsin in addition to the Tigers and Nebraska, the meet diminished to two-team size when the Badgers sent word that examinations would interfere, forcing the Wisconsin team to bow out of the running.

BOBBY GINN Nebraska distance runner. tender in Missouri's Bob Bosworth who paced off a blistering 4:21.8 mile as the Tigers won a five team meet at West Point, N. Y., last Saturday. Ginn's top clock ing this spring was a 4:20.5 which he turned in at the. Drake Re lays in his anchor leg on the NU distance medley team. Bosworth was with the Mis souri team several years ago as an 880 specialist, but has moved up to the mile. 880 Feature. In the half-mile feature Ne , braska's Harold Kopf will face Dick Killough of Missouri. The Bengal strider has a 1:56.9 time to his credit, while Kopf has been clocked in 1:57.5. Killough was out of action at the time of the Big Six indoor meet due to an attack of appendicitis. Although Kopf finished ahead of Ginn in the 880 yard race when Colorado's Dave Bolen won the event, the tiny Madison runner should not be counted out of the half-mile picture. Team balance is expected to bring the Tigers a victory over Nebraska. The Huskers are bereft of strength in the discus and shot with Dick Piderit sidelined by in elgibility, although Charlie Too good is now finished with his gridiron chores and might bolster the NU weight department Herb Grote looks like a good bet to capture the javelin crown, but Nebraska pole vaulters Dick Miller and Don Cooper will have to be at their best to beat off the challenge of Bill Blackwell and Justin Knapp of the Missouri team.
