By Kimnn Karabatsos
The University of Nebraska's track team had to go all
out to capture their fifth indoor dual meet of the season
Saturday night as they edged Oklahoma 601? 43"
Both teams figured in the breaking of four records
two by each team.
The new record holders are Dick Meissner and the
relay team for Nebraska and Bill Jacobs and Merwin Mc
Connell for Oklahoma.
Sooner Jacobs, son of the track coach, broke his old
record of 4:27.2 in the mile despite an ailing chest cold.
The Sooner speedster negotiated the distance in 4:26.2.
jce Moore, finishing second
for Nebraska, was leading until
the final curve before going into
the stretch. On that final turn,
Jacobs passed him and as he did,
he forced Moore to break his
stride, but the judges failed to
notice the infraction.
Meginnis Wins
The 60 yard dash found Harry
"Hydramatic" Meginnis finishing
a couple of steps ahead of the
pack in :06.5. George Thomas,
the rampaging halfback of the
Sooners' great football team,
came in second and Bill Mueller
was third, barely edging team
mate Jim Lyle.
Oklahoma sophomores Jerry
Mearier and Charles Coleman
finished one and two to surprise
the Huskcr quarter milers. Har
old Kopf saved the Hnskcrs' face
by copping third. The winning
time was just a second off the
:49.9 mark set by "Red" Littler
in 1942.
Bob Berkshire, running his
best race this year on the Ne
braska oval, copped first place
in the highs with a :07.6 tim
ing. One of the judges had him
timed at :07.5.
Jim Smith broke up an an
ticipated Husker slam, placing
second. Ray Magsamen nosed out
Wendy Cole for third.
Bill Carroll lived up to his ad
vance notices by taking first in
the pole vault at 13-6. He barely
nudged the bar on his second at
tempt at 14 fect. Leonard Kehl
was second with a 13 foot effort.
In the shot put, Nebraska, for
the first time this season, took
the first two places in the shot
put. Jim McConnell. on his sec
ond toss, shot the 16 pound ball
43-4 8 for first place. Charley
Toogood was second with 47-1.
After six events were com
pleted, the Huskers held a 29'2
24 'i margin.
Meissner s Best
Bill Moomey, recovered from his
leg injury, winning at :07.2.
Berkshire and Magsamen finish
ing right with him in a blanket
finish.
With two events remaining,
the broad jump and relay, Ne
braska led. 51-381i, the
Sooners needing a slam in both
for a victory.
Ted Randolph and Owen
Brainard took the pressure off
the relay team by taking second
and third, Randolph finally hit
ting his stride.
Merwin McConnell broke the
broad jump mark with a 22' fl'i"
leap. Harrison of Oklahoma held
the record at 22-8 Vi, setting it
in 1941.

Swim Cup
By Bob Banks
The Lincoln High swimming
team proved Saturday that the
role of dark horse isn't always a
'handicap. They surprised experts
by upsetting both Omaha Tech
and Boys Town for the state
swimming crown.
The Links scored a total of
52 points. Other- team scores
were Omaha Tech 47, Boys Town
43. Hastings 21. and Omaha
South 9. Omaha Central failed to
score.
Lincoln High scored heavily in
the sprints and diving for their
victory. Their win was no cinch
for both Tech and Boys Town
were breathing down their necks
all the way.
Dave Van de Water was the
outstanding swimmer. The Tech
tanker showed that he is well
acquainted with his last name
when he broke two state records.
In the preliminaries he stroked
his way to a 1:04.7 clocking in
the 100 back stroke and a 1:46.3
in the 150 yard individual med
ley. Both were well under the
previous records.
Charles Youngblut was the
work horse for Lincotn High. He
scored firsts for the Linksmen
in both the 50 and 100 yard free
i styles races.
