r Sunday, May 18, 1947 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Pag 3 Big 6 Track Carnival Set forWeekend The cinder seers are unanimous this spring. The University of Missouri, bar ring a cataclysmic happening or two, will roar thru a strong field to collect the Big Six conference championships here Friday and Saturday. Off the showing of Coach Tom Botts' Bengals thus far there can be no dissent. However, it is a six-place meet, scored on the 10-8-6-4-2-1 plan adopted last spring. Top Price. One of the top attractions of the championships should develop in the 880-yard run. Bobby Ginn will close out a great college career in this meet. The douthty 126-pound Nebras kan won both the 880 and mile run in the Big Six indoor cham pionships at Kansas City in March. Bobby has not been successful in repeating this double outdoors. His best time in the 880 outdoors has been 1:57 this season. It will be necessary for Bobby to clip several seconds off this clocking to step with the field which will face the starter this week end. Kopf Rival. His own team mate, Harold . Kopf, a freshman, is credited with an unofficial 1:54 as is Landon Westbrook of Oklahoma. West brook anchored the Sooners' sprint medley team to victories in both the Texas and Kansas relays. Kopf and Dick Killough battled down to the tape in a dual meet here with the Nebraskan winning a photo .finish. .The time was 1:57.1, a slow first quarter being partly offset by a tremendous bat tle thru the last 600 yards. Kopf managed to fight off two Killough moves. Bill Stuart of Kansas State is another half-miler who has done .1:57.7. The conference record in the 880 is one of the older marks. It was set in 1933 by Glenn Cun ningham of Kansas when he stepped the distance in 1:52.2. Jayhawks Depend. Kansas is the defending outdoor champion this year. If Missouri wins it will mark the third out door championship for the Ben gals. Nebraska has won the title nine times in the 18 years which the conference has been organized. This meet will be the last six team championship. The Univer sity of Colorado will be compet ing in the 1948 championships.

Husker Nine To End Slate With Gophers Coach Tony Sharpe's Husker baseball team will wind up its spring season Monday and Tues day when the Minnesota Gophers come to Lincoln for a two-game series on the NU diamond. Nebraska will be out to re venge a pair of setbacks absorbed at the hands of the Minnesota team last year in Minneapolis. During the 1946 season the Norse men mistreated the Huskers 6-0 and 8-1. Gopher hurlers allowed the Husker batters only five hits during the two game series. The Scarlet nine wound up its Big Six campaigning with a double-header against Kansas Uni versity at Lawrence on Saturday after Friday's game had been postponed because or rain. A double victory would push the Huskers over the .500 in confer ence play, for their present rec ord is six wins and seven defeats against Big Six opponents.

Little Bill Mountford, Red Cloud's 114 pound mile sensation, proved more than sensational Saturday at the forty-fifth annual Nebraska high school track and field cham pionships. Mountford battled with Ne braska City's highly touted Zim merman in one of the most talked about races of the two-day cham pionships. The Red Cloud miler turned back a desperation bid on the far stretch by the fighting Zimmerman to flash across the finish in the record shattering time of 4:26.2, just three-tenths second faster than Zimmerman was clocked. The new mark, and only new record written in the official score book, clipped :01.9 off the previous record set by America's "premier mller," Gil Dodds of Falls City in 1937. Ironically enough, it was Dodds whose pic ture was featured on the program covers as still holder of the Ne braska high school mile record. But two fighting hearts and two brilliant runners lifted the title from him. McCook, Repeat Winner. McCook, by virtue of their win ning 880-yard relay team, man aged to capture the Class A cham pionship for the second succes sive year.
