The Nebraska outdoor track
season' will be opened indoors
this year when the Husker cin
dermen meet the Colorado Buffa
loes on the letter's indoor track.
This means that al levents will
be run indoors with the excep
tion of the javelin and the dis
cus. There will be no 220-yard
dash and the short spring will
be 60 yards instead of 100.
Coach Ike Hanscom will be
making the trip and turoring the
squad in the absence of Soach Ed
Weir.
Since the loss of former track
men Hobe Jones, Wendell Cole,
Wayne Whitaker and Ken Ja
cobs, some of the Nebraska run
ners are being relied on for ex
tra heavy duty.
Dale Schnakel will be called
Upon for points in the 880 to fill
Up the gap left by Jones.
Gene Yelken will also double
Jn the 880 and run his pet event,
the mile.
Don Becker and Dan Tolman
will have to be at their best to
top Buff hurdler ace Merwin Ho
del. Tolman nipped HoJel in the
dual meet in Lincoln during last
year's indoor meet.
Alexander
Lee Alexander will try his abil
ity against Colorado's Aggie Raso
and Dole Kelley. His main help
should come from Irving Thode
and Bob Barchus. Shelly Jacobs
is still out with a leg injury re
ceived in the early part of the

Okie Matmen
When Coach Port Robertson
refounded wrestling at the Uni
versity of Oklahoma in 1947 and
sent his small squad of 20 on a
three-mile run along the river
road, half of them quit on the
lirst day.
That was all right with Robert
son. Hard physical condition is
the trademark of his Sooner mat
squads. It was the biggest factor
In Oklahoma's winning the Na
tional Collegiate wrestling cham
pionship with a six-man team
et Bethlehem, Pa.
Robertson tries to sell his boys
on the necessity of going all out
the full nine minutes, of continu
ing to wrestle furiously even af
ter they become tired.
That's why Oklahoma won the
nationals by one point. Two of
the tiniest Sooners, Billy Borders,
123 pounds, and Tommy Evans,
137, both from Tulsa, Okla., op
erated so doggedly on that theory
at Lehigh that together they
notched six falls. Jack Blubaugh,
Sooner 130-pounder from Ponca
City, also hustled terrifically,
picking up a fall and a forfeit.
Falls
That totaled eight valuable
points on falls and forfeits alone
and how the Sooners needed
them! No other team collected
more than three.
Robertson also sold Frank
Marks, his sophomore 167-pound-er
from Edmond, Okla., on the
theory. Marks had won ten
straight bouts, four of the last
seven by fall. However, he in
jured cartilage in his knee while
sweenine the Big Seven title here
two weeks ago and undergoing an
operation, stayed home from the
national meet.
When Robertson, a clever 165
pound wrestler at Oklahoma back
in 1935, became coach at Norman
in 1947, there had been no wrest
ling at Oklahoma for eight years.
No good wrestlers were enrolled.
There was no equipment, no
schedule, no interest. Only a
strong wrestling tradition, en
gendered by Paul V. Keen, Sooner
coach from 1928 through 1938. His
1947 and 1949 teams placed sec
ond. The Oklahoma wrestling team's
fiery climb from nonentity to a
national collegiate championship
in five years is a sports tradition
the school is proud of.
indoor campaign.
The Husker should present a lot
of power in the pole vault. Don
Cooper and Len Kehl are should
be in top form for the dual.
Cooper took a second place at the
Purdue relays last week-end.
The Broad jump twins, Thode
and Glenn Beerline, will continue
to supply the Husker power in
that event. The two sophomores
have been improving steadily.
Both men were over 23 feet dur
ing the indoor meet.
The high Jump will be well
supplied with the elastic men,
Dick Meissner and Thode. Meis
sner won the Prudue relays title.
The main shot putters are Paul
Grimm and Lowell Neilson. This
event could possibly be held out
doors, but at the latest report it
was scheduled for the indoor lay
out. Monson
Warren Monson will be fea
tured in the javelin. He was a
point winner in last year's con
ference outdoor meet, and could
crack 19-0 feet this year.
Bob Kruger looks like the
cream of the crop in the two-mile
run. Yelken also might be called
on for duty in this grueling event.
Bob Barchus, Alexander, Hein
or Kehl could get the call in the
quarter mile. But one or two of
them will miss the race in order
to concentrate on the mile relay.
Both teams will leave Lincoln
today by train and will remain
in Boulder until Sunday.
Fergie to Play
For Alumni
Gerald Ferguson, now with the
army air forces at Albuquerque,
N. M., will play in the Alumni
Varsity game, the feature of the
All Sports Day to be held at the
University of Nebraska April 14.
Ferguson, who started as a half
back and played end with the
1950 Husker eleven, in a letter to
Player-Coach Tom Novak of the
alumni team assured Tom that he
was in shape.
"That knee feels perfect," Fer
guson said. "I'll play any position
you name. In fact, I feel good
enough to play two positions."
Ferguson, whose home is at
Scottsbluff, was handicapped by
a trick knee during his varsity
career.
Coach Novak, who has mimeo
graphed a set of plays and also
his defenses, is starting the
Alumni workouts Thursday.
"Most of our bunch will not be
able to get out until two or three
days before the game," Coach
Novak said. "But we hope to
make a game of it."
In view of the fact that the Var
sity had to come from behind to
get a 13-13 tie a year ago, Coach
Novak was accused of being
overly pessimistic.
Five Cyclones
To Participate
In Texas Meet
Five Iowa State track men are
competing in the 1951 running of
the Texas Relays at Austin, Tex.
Coach Burl V. Berry has en
tered the Cyclones in two indi
vidual events and a pair of relaps.
Jim Robertson of Ames will
compete in both the shot and dis
cus events. He may be hampered
in the shot. Berry indicated, be
cause of an injury to the index
finger of his right hand. Robert
son has consistently put the shot
more than 48 feet all year. He
has not yet thrown the discus in
competition. Robertson is a for
mer Iowa high school shot and
discus champion.
A sprint relay team will run in
both the 440 and 880 yard events
at Texas, Berry said. Probable
order of running will be Merle
Harris, Webster City; Harold
Rhode, Tabor; Dick Ewen, Fort
Dodge, and Page Arnold, Ames.
Alternate for the team is Dick De
Long of Lamoni.
Berry said the team would fly

Ravenna Banquet
Held in Lincoln
The citizens of Ravenna had
planned a spring banquet to hon

But one thing after another
happened to spoil the plan. How

No Kansas track athlete ever
set a more lofty goal than KU's
redhaired Herb Semper. The
sturdy Jayhawk distance steed
has his sights set on a nine min
ute two mile before the year is
out.
He won't get a chance to try
on this time for size today and
Saturday in the Texas Relays but
he'll be a central figure in Bill
Easton's Austin plans nonethe
less. Easton, who guided his club
to three relay titles at Texas last
year, will anchor two-mile and
four-mile bids with Semper.
This means the gnome-like
pounder out of Forest Park, 111.,
will drop down to less familiar
distances of mile and 880 for the
Jay-hawks' first major outdoor test
of the year. Semper ran legs on
both these title teams last year,
plodding the second carry of a
blazing 17:20.9 four-mile effort,
which shattered a 19-year-old
Texas mark and came within five
seconds of tying the American
record.
Better in Competition
Semper has whirled as low as
4:18.5 in the mile and 1:55.0 in
the half. He is expected to do
better under the pressure of the
competition Kansas will run into
at Austin.
There isnt much doubt he now
ranks as the Big Seven's top dis
tance ace, a mantle he scooped
up when teammate Bob Karnes
graduated last June. Most Ameri

President George Cross was a spectator at the University of
Oklahoma track practice here Monday and saw Louis "Humphrey"
Miller, Oklahoma's 364-pound freshman shot-putter from Oklahoma
City, go through his paces.
"You haven't seen anything yet," Coach John Jacobs told the
president and lined the hefty Miller up for a 60-yard dash. Miller
ran it in 8.9 seconds.
"He didn't run it. He rolled it," Jacobs chuckled.
Coach Hugo Otopalik will only have two lettermen back on
the Iowa State golf squad this spring.
The two lettermen from the thirteen man squad are Gordon
