Tho Husker drulertnon scored 40 Ms points to lift tho title from defending champion Kansus and favored Missouri. Weir has lonj? supported team depth as being tho surest way of winning track championships. And It was depth which won the HiiRkcr titlo this time. Tho titlo was annexed on sec ond, third, fourth, and fifth places. In fact, only two Ne brnsknns, Hobe Jones and Leon ard Kehl, won blue ribbons. After tho meet was over Weir emphasized that It was the team working as a unit and not as in dividuals that enabled Nebraska to win. Weir Says 'They were a fine bunch of kids," Weir asserted, "and every inch of energy they had was put forth. They cams through in the pinches." Vaulter Don Cooper was a prime example of giving up per sonal Interests for the benefit of the team. He had a good chance cf breaking tho conference polo vault record of 13-feet-llVi Inches set last year by Sooner Bill Caroll. The Husker star had cleared 14 feet consistently dur ing the entire season, Cooper But ho sacrificed this personal interest In order to run the 60 yard dash. And In doing so won third place in a race which Ne braska had been weak in all season. His iprintlng effort may not have been a reason for his inability to break tho record. But it still served to spur tho Huskers on. And the team elected him honorary captain for the indoor reason. Fortunately, Leonard Kehl was up to par and equaled his best mark of the season, a 13 foot 6 inch effort which won first place. Settles Feud Hobe Jones settled his feud with Tiger sophomore Pete Gal lup. Both men were rated top contenders to win the 800. Jones not only won the race but set a new Nebraska mark of 1:56.4. Gallup faded to fifth at tho end of the race. Another outstanding perform anco was contributed by Wendy Cole, He had been out of action most of the season with a bad leg. He shook off his injury and ran a close second to Jayhawk Jack Greenwood in the 60-yard low hurdles. Hurdler Don Bedker also gave a surprise performance by run nlng second to Greenwood in the 60-yard high hurdles. Shotputters Paul Grimm and Lowell Neilsen rate a loud ap plauso for their efforts. Grimm tossed tho iron ball 45 feet-four inches and Neilsen followed with a 44 feet-ten inch heave. Both marks were good enough for fourth and fifth places, respec tively. Broad Jumpers Sophomore broad jumpers IrV' ing Thodo and Glenn Bcerllne copped third and fourth places in their event. Thode jumped 23 feet-four inches. Beerlino was only an inch behind him. Dick Molssner was below his ftwywiWti " i ww iiiniii.uumufwii.y.

LEONARD KEHL . . . gave the Huskers one of their two blue ribbons by winning the conference indoor pole vault title. He had previously won the event as a sophomore. Dusters Hit Phillips, Stars, City Y ll Win By Marlin Downey and Buck I'lin Highly touted Phillips 33 fell before a determined bunch of Dusters Saturday afternoon in a thrilling 32-31 overtime affair. The Phillips crew was the third independent team in the Univer sity while the Dusters were un ranked in the last ratings. In the initial period the Dus ters jumped to an early 8-3 lead. However when the half ended the Phillip's had narrowed the margin to 14-12 and in the next stanza were ahead 22-18. The roaring fourth quarter saw both teams fighting for supremacy, neither seeming to be able to break the 29-29 deadlock. In the heartbreaking overtime the Dus ters crowded out a fighting Phil lips team by a skin-tight one point margin. Fred Muhali led the Phillips With nine while close behind were Bill Johnson ana Jonn Johnnette each having six. Dusters top scorers were Linquist and Bob Johnson dumped in 10 apiece. Geologists Spree Geologists downed the Pirates 47-23. The Pirates couldn't seem to stop the sharp eye of Gene Carter as he garnered 16 and Jack Yelkin who flipped in 10. Ralph Hall was the leading hoop ster for the losers with 13 points. The Dorm Stars drubbed Dorm B&C to the tune of 51-31. It was an evenly matched game until the The who on NU Center Sets Neiv Comhusker Scoring Record Rnh Pierce, stellar center the Husker basketball team, has established an all-time Nebraska scoring record for a single sea son.

From The Sports Desk Hy Rill Mundell Sports Kdllnr, Dally Nehraiksn Hats off to a fighting band of Comhusker tracksters. We knew they could do it. It was great to see Ed Weir's cindermen come through in the clutch to pick off the big plum of the Big Seven carnival last weekend. It was a fine victory for a fine bunch of competitors. What was even better to see was the fine team interest shown by the Huskers. Personal ambitions were set aside so that the team as a whole could carry home the prize. Foremost in my mind is senior pole-vaulter, Don Cooper. "Moose" has been a Husker vault mainstay for four years and has always been near if not at the top of the conference vaulting. This year it was definite. "Moose" had six times in six meets bettered the Big Seven pole vault mark set by Car roll of Oklahoma last year. "Moose" had soared higher than any other athlete in the history of the conference and was nearing the world's record for a vault from a dirt run-way. But Don has a couple of other assets. Ho is one of the faster sprint men in the loop and he is a non-selfish indi vidual. And so, because of these, Don ran the 60-yard dash for Nebraska and picked up three all-important points by plac ing third. , Don't let anyone kid you; running 60 yards in fast company can tire a fellow plenty. And so after the 60, Don went into his pet event, the pole vault, tired and exhausted and finished second to teammate Lenny Kehl. Look at the standings that would have resulted if "Moose" hadn't run the dash. Subtract the three points for Nebraska in that event and add one more to Missouri which Harold Carter, who finished sixth, would have gotten. There's your three-point victory margin gone and Missouri would have been cham pion by one point. Don could have spent all his energy on the pole vault and undoubtedly would have established a new Big Seven record beside his name. Don won't go down in the conference record books as the man who holds the loop vault record, but in the hearts of Huskerland he's an all-time record-holder and a wonderful guy. Thanks a lot, "Moose."

DON COOrKR . . . gave the Indoor champion Huskers on added boost with a third in the 60-yard dash last week-end. "Moose" has been named honorary captain of the team for this Indoor season. NU Frosh Win Postal Meet; Thinclads Stomp Missouri The Nebraska freshman track team opened its indoor track season with a 59-47 victory over the Missouri frosh team. The Husker yearlings were led by Tom Carrodinc, former Boys Town athlete, who won victories in the 60 yard dash and the 60 yard low hurdles. The Tiger frosh featured Hall who had double victories in the 440 yard dash and the mile run. The next Husker meet will be against Oklahoma.
