HuskersTake Conference
Track Title at Kansas City
Coach Ed Weir, his pet theory,
and his trnck team won the Big
Seven Indoor track tltlo Saturday
night at Kanoas City.
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

ribbons by winning the conference indoor pole vault title. He
had previously won the event as a sophomore.
Dusters Hit Phillips,
Stars, City Y

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

22 games. This is already 5
points better than the old record
which Milton Whitehead set last
year.
Pierce had his best evening
against South Dakota when he
hit the hoop for 29 points. He

Nebraska Co-op Wins
Another thriller for the day
saw Nebraska Coop break the
Dorm A comets 31-29. Both
teams gave a good account of
themselves in the upset.

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."
