Sunday, May 11, 1947 issouri Trackmen elt IKIusEiers 87-44 BY GEORGE MILLER. The Missouri Tigers showed why they rank as the team to beat in the Big Six outdoor track chase, by hanging an 87 to 44 defeat on the depleted University of Nebraska cin der forces Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. Coach Ed Weir's Huskers managed to win five firsts but were woefully weak in depth as the gold-clad Tigers swept to a top heavy victory. F.iffht dual meet records were broken and one was equalled dur ing the competition between the Scarlet crew, weakened by inelig ibility and injuries, and the Ti gers, Big Six indoor champions. Nebraska runners were strong In the distance races, winning: the 880. mile and two-mile contests. But Coach Tom Bott's visitors displayed an excess of talent In the dashes and hurdles, plus clean sweeps in the discus and shot events. Harold Kopf was ihe crowd's favorite as he strained to a one yard victory over Missouri's Dick Killough in the much-heralded 880 yard duel. Kopf leaned into the stiff south wind on the back stretch and kept his margin dur ing the race for home to win in 1:57.1. It was the same story in the mile race where Bobby Ginn ran away from Bob Bosworlh or Mis souri in the final lap to win by 10 yards in the record time of 4:23.3. Ginn's steady pace was too much for the Bengal miler and in the final lap Ginn moved to the front for a decisive decision. Two-miler Don Morrison fur nished a mild surprise when he uncorked a sizzling kick to win as he pleased in the eight lap grind. Sticking close to the pace setter all the way, Morrison was able to build up a sizeable gap between himself and Missouri's George Quinn, the second place winner. Morrison's time was 10:15.3. Two more Nebraska victories were recorded in the field events. Don Cooper set a new pole vault standard when he cleared 13 feet 6M inches, just one-quarter inch better than Harry Hunt's existing mark. The bespectacled vaulter failed to negotiate 14 feet 1 inch t. ik.ix ttnnt. after winning 111 .111 V V. . the first place ribbon. In the javelin Herb Grote eclipsed the 200-foot mark for the first time this spring by unleash ing a 202 foot 9V inch heave.
