Presby House's all-university
lead in intramural badminton was
in serious jeopardy Saturday as
the Alpha Tau Omega birdmen
continued their steady climb and
edged to within two points of the
.PresDy total.
The entire matter rested in the
hands of the Taus 'as the doubles
and singles tournaments swung
into tfce last lap. The last Presby
entry was eliminated Friday as
Bill Pratte was handed his first
defeat by ATO Barnwell in the
fifth round of the singles play.
The Taus have three men or
teams remaining, Barnwell, Bob
Osborne and tmhe ATO double
team composed of the same two
men.
Presby still holds the lead go
Ingto the singles quarter-finals
and the doubles finals on Mon
day with a 29-point total. The
Taus have clinched second place
With 27 points and seemingly
are able to pass the 29-point to

sprinters should be back in the
arena for the dual meet Monday
afternoon against the University
of Colorado.
Running events start at 3:40,
with the field events at 3:10.
Bob Fairchild, shelved since
the indoor season with a pulled
muscle, has been gathering mo
mentum in workouts the past
week.
Coach Ed Weir thinks Bob, a
freshman from Omaha, should be
ready for the test against the Buf
faloes.
Phil Heidelk, high jumper, also
has been improving in the 100-
yard dash.
Ron Gray is Colorado's top
sprinter. Ron finished second in
the Big Seven Indoor, pushing
Kansas State's Thane Baker all
the way.
Wallace Tanner, Colorado shot
putter, indoor and outdoor cham
pion of the Big Seven, appears to
have things his own way in this
event although Paul Grimm, Ne
braska, was over 50 feet in one
indoor meet. Tanner won the in
door crown with a heave of 50
feet 4 inches.
Don Bedker, Nebraska's double
winner in the indoor, with both
the high and low hurdle titles,
will be facing Merwin Hodel and
Fat Hindman. Hodel finished sec
ond to Bedker in the highs at
Kansas City.
Colorado also has an out
standing javelin thrower in
George HoIIey. Holley threw
the spear 206 feet in the NCAA
meet In 1951.
One record which should go is
in the mile run. The mark is now
held by George Fitzmorris of
Colorado. He ran it in 4:23.9, in
1950. Lee Moore of Nebraska
turned the distance in 4:18.8 in a
dual against Missouri at Colum
bia last week.
Clayton Scott, Nebraska,
hampered by illness the past
several weeks, also is capable
of establishing a new 2-mile
mark, the present record stand
ing at 10:04.3.

People Ponder Prowess
Possessed By
Just how fast can Thane Baker,
the Kansas State track sensation,
run the 100-yard dash?
Folks are beginning to ponder
that question as they watch the
quiet, speedy kid from Elkhart
each weekend. Many track au
thorities, including Baker's own
coach, Ward Haylett, feel that the
K-State junior can travel a 9.4
seconds century and with right
conditions might equal the pres
ent world mark of 9.3 seconds
held by Mel Patton, formerly of
the University of Southern Cali
fornia. Baker is unusual among
sprinters mainly because he is
slow in reaching his peak. Many
of the world's former sprint
stars like Frank Wycoff, Jesse
Owens and Charley Parker
were prep school sensations.
Such men were in the headlines
before they answered the start
ing gun in college. Baker, a high
school unknown, has improved
steadily since he enrolled as a
freshman at Kansas State in the
fall of 1949. His best high school
mark at Elkhart was 10.1 sec
onds in the century. The high
est laurel he won was sixth in
the state Class B track meet.
At the Kansas Relays in Law
rence, Baker ran two 9.5 hundreds
to beat Jim Ford of Drake and the
twin Texas speedsters, Dean
Smith and Charles Thomas. Al
though Baker was aided by a
slight wind, Haylett believes that
the soft cinder track equalized the
advantage Baker might have
gained from the breeze.
Baker's time in the finals of.
the 100 at the Kansas Relays
might have been even faster had
he not been tardy coming off the
starting blocks. The Wildcat star
was the last man away from the
starting post but then finished
with what Ward Haylett said was
"the fastest last 10 yards I've ever
seen." Baker can leave his blocks
in a hurry, though, as evidenced
by the 6.1 seconds 60-yard dash
he recorded at the Colorado In
vitational Indoor Relays early this
year. Baker's mark in the 60-yard
race equalled the world record for
the event.
Baker started breaking 10
flat for the hundred after Ward
Haylett took charge of him at
K-State in the Elkhart lad's
freshman year. Thane won the
Big Seven postal meet for con
ference freshmen by stepping a
be played.
Only Presby House and Alpha
Omega are in a position to win
the All-University trophy. The
Independents, totaling 28 points
to date, can end up with the
largest total of points, but they
cannot win the championship
because they are not entered
in a group. Their point-total
represents all the points scored
by men who entered on their
own.

By MARSHALL KUSIINER I
Sports Editor
The University of Nebraska
baseball team kept alive its hopes
for winning the Big Seven base
ball crown by defeating Oklahoma,
15-10 and 11-6 in a double header.
In the first game Friday, the
two teams tangled in a three
hour diamond marathon. Both
teams used a combined total of
seven pitchers and these men
walked a total of 25 men.
Ray Novak started on the mound
mound for the Cornhuskers and
was relieved by Dick McCormick
and Fran Hofmaier. Novak re
ceived credit for his victory of the
season.
In the second game, Coach Tony
Sharpe's team smacked four of the
last National Collegiate Athletic
association tournament winners
pitchers for 12 hits and 11 runs.
The Nebraskans piled up
seven runs in the first two in
nings and clinched the game
with a four-run rally in the
seventh.
The booners scoring came in
the first inning and a five-run
burst in the eighth frame. j
Bobby Decker, Bobby Reynolds
and Murry Backhaus were the big
guns in the Husekr barrage of hits.
Each of the players got two hits.!
Bill Giles, who took over first
base duties for Ray Novak yester
day, picked up a home run in the
game, as did Jim Crabb of the
Sooners. Both came with no men
on the base paths.
Pat Mallette started on the hill
for Nebraska and was relieved by
Charlie Wright in the eighth when
the Uheling sophomore ran into
trouble and five Sooners scored.
Backhaus did all the work behind
the plate for Nebraska.
It was a much-needed win for
the Cornhuskers, whose present
conferece record stands at four
wins and one loss. The Huskers
dropped Kansas State in their
double header at Manhattan and
lost to the Kansas Jayhawks, 0-1
in Lincoln previous to the en
counter with Oklahoma.
The Nebraska team will return
home in preparation for their
coming double header against the
Kansas State team in Lincoln.
Norm Bifner Supports Kansas
Depth Of
"
A red-headed sophomore named
Norm Bitner is moving almost un
obstrusively into Kansas' ever
potent distance-running picture.
While Bill Easton wires his one
two punch, Herb Semper and Wes
Santee, for Four-Mile and Dis
tance Medley bids, he'll also send
up Bitner in the Open Two-Mile.
It will be the youngster's third
Major relay start of the spring
and he can etch his own kind of
slam by placing high in the Des
Moines field. He already has
chained together two seconds,
running behind Ronald Haynes',
of Navy, in the 5,000 meters at
the Texas Games, and behind Jim
Brown .former Arkansas plodder,
in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase,
at Kansas.
Norm did a fine job, but he
might just as well have won
those races," Easton points out.
"He just needs a little cocki
ness. He's better than he thinks
he is. Twenty minutes after the
Steeplechase here he didn't even
feel like he'd been in a race.
That's too much to have left."
"He cot a terrific awakening of
his own potentialities in the 5,000,
meters at Texas then didn t ex
ploit them here in the Steeple
chase." Easton brought his point home
when he pointed to the summar
ies of the two meets Bitner beat
Brown at Texas and Haynes at
Kansas in an odd triangle which
will close out at Drake.
"I suppose I do need a little
more confidence," smiles the for
mer Class A state prep Mile
champion from Wyandotte. He
says it with calm assurance as if
it was the last thing he needed.
"Well, I'm getting it running

Bitner apparently has proved
his taste already. He surprised
everyone last autumn by run
ning 16th in the NCAA cross
country field at East Lansing.
He had been a creditable eighth
in the Fall Two-Mile field, fin
ishing behind Semper; another
veteran, Keith Palmquist, and
two sophomore stablemates, ;
Santee and Art Dalzell. He beat
the latter pair in the longer !
Four-Mile haul at the nationals. !
Bitner followed this perform
ance by nabbing third behind
Semper and Missouri's Bob Fox
in the Big Seven Indoor Two
Mile. His time was 9:32.0, a per
sonal all-time low at this distance.
"He'll reach the early twenties
in the Two-Mile next year," Eas
ton, who never hesitates to erect
high goals for his charges, frankly
opines. "He has improved tre
mendously since his freshman
year here, chiefly because of his
willingness to work hard and urge
to become
good. He has a fine
future."
The six-foot Kansas Citian
credits his advancement to "learn
ing how to train for competition."
"Coach gives us a great lot of
the right kind of work," he ex
pands. "You might be punish
ing yourself every day and not
getting much good out of it. He
knows when to run us long and
when to ease off."
Well, there'll be no let-up at
Des Moines Friday, Bitner can ex

Wheeler, Iowa's 1,500-meter Kan

The nubbins lead 3-1 going into

inning.
Fred Scger smashed a triple for
the longest hit of the game and
Bob Kremke and Jark Crawford
