Sports fans who follow the
cinder sport on a national basis
may find it interesting to com
pare the winner's performances
of two of the most colorful track
carnivals in the nation the
Drake and Penn Relays, which
were held last Friday and Sat
urday.
The time-comparisons of the
two meets gives a fair indication
as to what one could expect in a
meet between the East and Mid-dlewest.
In the 100 yard dash, Ben
"Dreitxbert of Penn won the blue
ribbon at the Penn meet with a
:10.1 clocking. Paul Bienz, of Tu
lane, would have captured the
blue ribbon in the mythical meet
though with a :09.7 time at
Drake. The top three finishers at
Drake would take a slam.
In the 480 yard shuttle hur
dle relay, the Easterners would
get the nod over Michigan
Normal, the Drake winners.
The North Carolina Tarheels
ran that event in one minute
flat compared to Normal's
1:01.2 time.
By judging the finishes, Ne
braska would have managed a
third.
Oklahoma A. & M. would get
first place in the 8S0 yard relay
on their 1:26.7. NYU. winning at
Penn, was timed at 1:28.1.
Morgan State would be in the
winners circle in the mile relay
on their 3:13.6 which set a new
Penn mark. Oklahoma A. & M.
would grab second place honors
on their 3:16.2.
The time turned in on the
two-mile relay at Penn was also
superior to the Drake time. The
Oklahoma Aggies also won this
event at Drake with a 7:51.9.
The competitors in the field
events were a little better at
Drake.
Nebraska's ace-stratospheric
man Don Cooper went 14-1
in the pole vault to establish
the only record at Drake. This
was five inches higher than
the winning height at Penn.
consequently, another slam for
the Drake boys in that event
where the other placers passed
11 feet.
Virgil Severns, Kansas Slaie,
leaped 6-63 to top the high
jumping field at Drake. Dick
Phillips of Brown managed a
6-5'i jump at the Penn meet for
first place there.
Robert Kir. North Carolina,
kept the Penn athletes from be
ing shut out in the field events.

For InterVarsity it was the
first loss in five contests and
dropped the I-V men into second
place in the Interdenomination-

who now sport a record of three
wins and no defeats.
Methodists Do It
The Methodist Student House
crossed home plate nine times in
the first inning of their contest
with Presby House and made
the lead stand up in the face of
a late Presby rally to win, 12
to 10.
The Methodists, in winning
their first outing of the season,
.banged ten hits off the offerings
of Presby pitchers. Pratt and
Mundcll.
The Presbyterians, in turn
blasted Methodist pitcher. Sat
terfield, for 11 safeties, but Sat
terfield was tough in the clinch
es and seven Presbys were left
stranded on the bases.
The loss dropped the Presby
terians into fourth place in the
Denom league while the Meth
odist win enabled them to climb
out of the cellar and into sev
enth place.

Basketball Game
Set for Friday
The University of Nebraska
Alumni basketball team which
meets the Varsity Friday night at
the Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. hopes
to better the "Old-Timers" rec
ord in football.
The star-packed football squad
held the Varsity team to a 13-13
tie. The Varsity had been tabbed
a 40 points favorite.
The pre-game dope sheet pre
sents a different picture. Seven
of this year's Big Seven basket
ball team will be playing for
Coach Neal Mehring's team. Not
to be overlooked are Claude
Retherford, a member of the 1949
championship team and high
scorer for that year; Dick
Schleiger, one of the leading
scorers of two-years back: and
Kenny Anderson.
Leading the alumni team will
be Bus Whitehead, Nebraska's
present record holder in the scor
ing department. He set the new
record this year, breaking the
record set last year by Retherford.
Scoring Combo
The scoring combination of
Retherford and Whitehead will
present a difficult problem to
Coach Karry Good and the Var
sity. In Bob Pierce, Good has
excellent chance in stopping
Whitehead.
By the end of the 1950 season,
Pierce's defensive work was one
of the leading factors in the
Husker's final claim to a share
of Big Seven conference laurels.
Pierce's offensi'e scoring punch
can also be counted on for a few
points. The nearest thing to
matching the Alumni's top scorers
will be Pierce and Jim Buchanan,
the long shot artist from the back
court Good will have to fill the
other guard spot with either a
sub from the 1950 Varsity or
place his hopes on an un-tried
Freshman player.
Three Week Drills
The Varsity has been working
out for the past three weeks with
their spring drills and should be
in better condition than the
Alumni.
Workouts for the Alumni bas
keteers started Monday night. Re
turning to the Nebraska maples
were:
Anton La wry. Whitehead,
Retherford. Larry Walsh. Bob
Gates, Joe Brown, Dick Schleiger,
Dick Srb and Kenny Anderson.
Tuesday night, Henry Cech and
Ray Jussel joined the grads to
give them more strength at the
forward positions.

Nebraska's tennis team re
turned this Monday with, their
first victory of the year, a 3-3
decision over Kansas Wesley a a.
This is by far the best show
ing that the Huskers have mad
all season. Previously they had
dropped matches to Kansas State,
the University of Kansas, and
Washburn. All of these teams
packed too much experience and
strength for Coach Slezak's
squad.
The men who won the matches
for Nebraska down at Salina
were Andy Bunten, Bod Radin,
and Jerry Magee.
First Singles Win
Up to this time tht Nebras
kans had been unable to win a
singles match. The only victories
they could muster were a pair
of doubles decision by Mage
and Radin.
The Huskers won their matches
from Kansas Wesleyan in straight
sets. They were never headed
although they did drop the first
two matches.
Sophomore Andy Bunten has
been showing rapid improvement
since the season first started. His
forehand is becoming a very
potent weapon. Main trouble
with Bunten is his service and
the lack of seasoning.
Jerry Magee is beginning to
show some efficiency with the
racket He is the only senior
on the traveling squad.
Radin Improves
Bob Radin will offer the Husk
ers considerable assistance next
year. He is becoming a much
steadier player with each ms H
he tucks under his belt
The Husker number one m.
Jamie Curran, is the only re ¬
turning letterman from last year.
He has a strong service. His
main drawback seems to be in
consistency but he is gradually
becoming more steady.
The Huskers will make their
next home appearance this Sat
urday against the Iowa State Cy
clones. Nebraska will definitely
be the under dogs in spite of
their recent victory.
Coach Slezak states that his
squad has a slim chance for vic
tory. They will be concentrat
ing this week on a strong of
fensive game in hopes of pulling
an upset
Grand Island retained its
Kearney track crown by edging
the host team by 11 points.
North Platte, McCook and Curtis
trailed.
Superior won the class B title
followed by Lexington, Gothen
burg, Ogallala, Cozad, Geneva,
Holdrege, Ravenna and Aurora.
Hoppy McCue, the boy-wonder
from Arapahoe, led his team
to an easy victory in class C.
