Nebraska track fans again will
have the opportunity of seeing
some of the Midwest's top track
and field men today and tomor
row In the Big Seven conference
championships. Missouri's Tigers
are generally conceded the crown,
but every school will field some
fine athletes.
Let's compare some of the best
marks posted by Huskers this
year with those of other perform
ers around the conference. Dick
Piderit has the top Nebraska shot
put mark at 50 feet l'z Inches.
Kansas State's Rollin Prather has
one of the best shot marks of the
year with a 53 foot 3 inch ef
fort. Bob Berkshire and Al Thomp
son each have posted a 24.3-sec-ond
times in the low hurdles,
while Missouri's Bud Gartiser has
been clocked in 23 seconds. Berk
shire has a :15.1 in the highs for
the Huskers' best time. Gartiser
has covered the route in :14.5 for
the best time in the conference
Another Tieer. Boh Rnswnrth hns
a mark of 1:56.2 in the 880, while
the best Nebraska time is 1:57 by
Jim Martin. Harold Kopf has a
1:58 in the half.
Nebraska's sprinters should
brine home a few points. Dick
r
Hutton has slipped off the cen
tury in :09.7, and Harry Meginnis
and Thompson both boast times of
:09.8. Harry Guth. Missouri's
speed merchant who-has been on
the injured list, is planning a
comeback this week-end. The Ti
eers' Gil PhilliDS has a :21.3-sec
ond furlong, but Meginnis boasts
a 21-flat 220 for one of tne out-
st.nndinj? times. Hutton and

time Nebraska record. His closest
rival will probably be Warren
Batcman, Colorado's hope in that
event. Meginnis has leaped 23 feet
Vt inch in the broad Jump but will
meet plenty of opposition in Jack
McEwen, C o 1 o r a d o's 24-foot
jumper. Bob Teel of Missouri is
also a 23-foot jumper.
Other Nebraska marks this year
have been: a 138 foot 1 1 Va inch
discus toss by Wayne Sees; a 183
foot 2 inch javelin throw by Bob
Sweeney; and a six foot three Inch
high jump by Monte Kinder. Com
pared with these, K-State's Pra
ther has a 154 foot 6M inch discus
toss; Bob Drumm of Kansas boasts
a 196 foot 5 inch javelin mark;
and Kansas' Tom Scoficld has
leaped 6 feet 5 and k inch in the
high jump.
The Husker baseball team has
only to win one game of its re
maining two to cop its first con
ference championship in 19 years.
Missouri, sceond-place club to
date, has four more games. If they
win all four, the Tigers will still
be one game short of the Husk
ers. If Hurlers Jim Sandstedt and
Lefty Gloystein can maintain
their present form, and Outfielder
Bob Cerv can continue his heavy
hitting, the Huskers should com
plete a successful year by raising
the league pennant over the Ne
braska diamond.
Nebraska University's athletic
program is drawing to a close for
1947 and 1948. Next year should
show even more improvement
than was shown this year by the
Husker teams. Every athletic
squad will be loaded with vet
erans and experience. But it will
take more than just experience to
put Nebraska back at the top of
the nation's athletic lists. It will
take the combined efforts of the
students, the coaching staff, and
the team to reach this goal. Co
operation and, above all. a win
ning spirit must be employed by
every one of us. The student body
must accept the challenge to sup
port its new athletic director,
Potsy Clark, and the other coaches
to show our rival schools that Ne
braska can be great in every way
on the athletic front.
