Met Last Week
Four top contenders for the Big
Seven track championship met in
a pair of dual meets Saturday.
Lincoln was the scene of a dual
between Missouri and Nebraska
while Colorado tangled with Kan
sas at Lawrence.
The Missouri-NU meet was
billed as the prevue of the Big
Seven meet here May 20-21, but
three other schools rate as dark
horses. Kansas, Colorado and
Oklahoma have outside possibili
ties of an upset win. Their
chances have been boosted by Ne
braska's loss of sprinter Dick
Mutton, and the ailing condition
of Tiger distance ace, Bill Mc
Guire. A COMPARISON of marks in
the two duals shows the Lincoln
meet having the best perform
ances in eight events with two
even. Times in both meets were
slowed considerably by poor
weather conditions, as is clearly
shown in the century perform
ances. Harry Meginnis won with a 10.3
clocking, and Big Seven indoor
dash champion Don Campbell in
10.4. Equally close were their
times in the 220, Meginnis with
:22 and Campbell :22.1.
Hal Karnes of Kansas turned in
the best two-mile mark of the
season with a 9:31.2 clocking. Es
ref Aydin, Nebraska's Flying
Turk, took the event with 9:52.2.
All Softball managers are
asked to attend a meeting at
12:30 p. m. Thursday in Room
101 of the Thysical Education
building to arrange the play
off schedule for the Softball
finals.

Minnesota Drops
Cyclones 91-10
The Golden Gophers from Min
nesota, 1948 NCAA track cham
pions, set eight new records Sat
urday as the northern invaders
dropped the Iowa State Cyclones,
91 to 40, in a dual track meet.
The Cyclones picked up one rec
ord as they won the half-mile
event.
Gopher record breakers were
led by sophomore Byrl Thomp
son who set two records as he
heaved the shot 50 feet and tossed
the discus 165 feet. The other
outstanding marks set in the dual
were a 4:23.5 mile by Bill Schim
mel and a two-mile time of 9:38
by Dick Kilty. Lee Hofacre
turned in a good time in the low
hurdles event with a record time
of 23.9 seconds.

Temple of Colorado and Ault of
Missouri were only two-tenths of
a second apart in the 440, Temple
with 49.8, and Ault with 49.6.
MARKS IN the field were gen
erally poor, the best coming in
the broad jump, discus, and jave
lin. Stovall of Missouri jumped
23 feet inch, far short of the
performances of Kansas State's
Herb Hoskins.
Wayne Sees, Nebraska, won the
discus with a creditable throw of
142-8. Dick Todd's throw of 197
10 in the javelin bested the 188-4
toss of Husker Dick Piderit, but
Piderit has bettered Todd's try in
previous competition.
Patton Breaks
Existing World
Sprint Records
Mel Patton, the University of
Southern California's lanky speed
ster, bettered two world records
Saturday in a dual meet against
UCLA. Pell-mell Patton copped
the furlong event in a new time
of 20.2 seconds, shortly after he
ran the fastest unofficial 100-yard
time in history.
The 220-yard event time will
be applied for a new world record,
since the wind at the time was
3.3 miles per hour which is over
a mile per hour under the limit.
With a 6.5 mile per hour wind
at his back, Patton ran the cen
tury in a time of 9.1 seconds,
which is two-tenths of a second
under his own mark set recently.
Seven timers caught Patton in the
hundred. Two watches had him at
9.0 and five at 9.1.
Pattons' "record nf 9.3 in the
hundred was just okayed last
week by the International Ama
teur Athletic federation.
In the Olympics last summer in
London, Patton was a disappoint
ing fifth in the century event but
regained some prestige when he
came back to cop the 800-meter
race.

Omaha Tech, Lincoln and Grand
Island. Tech and Lincoln will de
pend on specialists in various
events, while the Islanders have a
well-balanced entry.
The meet may see two and
possibly three state marks broken.
In the spotlight will be Friday's
half mile featuring Hobe Jones of
Lincoln High. Jones bettered Bob
Ginn's 880 record last year in out
side competition, but failed in the
Lincoln finals. He has gone the
distance only three times this
year, his most creditable effort
being at the Beatrice Invitational.
There, braving rain and cold
weather, Jones came in with a
The broad jump record of 22
feet 10'i inches, and the high
jump mark of 6 feet 2 inches
may fall under the spikes of
versatile Irving Thode of Loup
City.
Thode has gone 22 feet, 5V
inches in the broad jump and
bettered 6 feet 3 inches in the high
jump this year. He won both
events competing in Class B last
season, but is entered in Class C
this year.
Other top performances are ex
pected from Bill Black of South
Sioux City, and George Witter of
St. Joseph's of Atkinson. Black, a
sophomore, holds the best mark
of the season in the pole vault,
having cleared 12 feet 5A inches.
Witter paces the field in the shot
with a 51 feet, 7 inch heave.
