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

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.
Teammate Ray Magsamen. mak

fort Harry Meginnis was the leading
Nebraska scorer as he took sec

yard dash and third in tne cen
tnrv snrint Missouri's Harry Guth
won both sprints, equalling the
100-yard dash mark, and estab
lishing a new 220 record.
Biggest aurprlfie from the NU angle was
the failure of Monte Kinder to capture the
high Jump title. Kinder, hampered by a
