Pole Vaulter Exhibits
True Sporting Spirit
By RUCE BRUGMANN
Sports Editor
It isn't often that an athlete passes up a chance to break a record
And it isn't often that an athlete wants to share a record.
However, both these things happened last Friday as the heart of
a true sportsman was shown in the dual meet with Iowa State. Harold
Mullison, top Iowa State pole vaulter, had just cleared 13- to erase
the old 13-0 mark set by Harold Hunt in 1940.
His teammate, Ken Mallas, a good vaulter, but
no champion vaulter, stood poised on the sunbaked
runway, waiting impatiently for the gusts of wind
to let up. At the precise moment, Mullison coaxed
him into a take-off and watched him sail toward the
bar, which rattled against the standards twice and
then slowly wavered into its former horizontal
position.
Mallas, for the first time this year and the
second time in his vaulting career, had cleared
13-0 with 4 of an inch to boot. Once before, in
a meet last year, Ken had cleared 13-0. This time,
too, he had jostled the crossbar almost to the
.
L
Bragmana
dropping point.
Mullison, who has consistently been soaring' above the 13-foot strata,
had taken second in the Drake Relays only the week before with a
13-6 effort Though the wind was harassing the vaulters considerably,
he could top the 13- height with little difficulty.
"I dont want to jump any higher today," he said simply. "I want
to share the record with Ken. I think he deserves it."
Harold's mother and 6-year-old brother were watching him from
the stands. She, too, asked him why he didn't shoot for a greater
height and undisputed possession of the meet mark.
No." he said. "I want the record book -to. read 'set by Mullison
and Mallas of Iowa State.' I wouldn't want it any other way."
Another Brother Combination?
Incidentally, Iowa State may be blessed in several years with a
brother pole-vaulting combination similar to the Ted-Bernie Randolph
duo at the University. Craig, watching his brother Harold intently from
the stands, ran through a few limbering up exercises after the meet
For nearly fifteen minutes he scooted back and forth in the lower
part of the Stadium, clambering over each metal railing as u it were
n immnhilized crossbar.
At home in Shenandoah, la., Mrs. Mullison said, Craig uses a
broom handle and vaults over the coffee table in the living room. With
a sparkle in her eye she added, "I think hell be a pole vaulter
someday. t
New Sport Sweeps Campus ...
A new sport is sweeping the campus, or if not the entire campus,
at least three 12-year-old boys from Bancroft Grade School.
The game is really very simple and requires few props. A ball,
preferably a colored one, the side of a building, and a couple of rough
and tumble players will suffice.
Here's the way the action unfolds. OfSe player, usually the biggest
one, heaves the ball against the wall If the ball is regulation, it will
bounce back. When it does, all players scramble after the ball kicking,
scratching, swinging, clawing until someone gains possession.
He then tosses the ball against the wall again and the action
continues.
Three husky grade school boys, Jessie Weaver, Andns Liepniek
and Mike Keedy, have become most proficient in this new twist to
ball-bouncing. They use a regulation red and white-stripped ball and
the west side of the Nebraska State Historical Society Building as
their backboard. ..,..'
There are no holds barred and no timeouts called in this game.
As Weaver says, "You have to be rough and hard to bluff." The only
moment of respite comes when the ball disappears between the window
cell grates '.underneath the Student Union and Bob Cook from the
Nebraskan and Dick Reische from the Cornhusker staff are called in
as retrievers. ,
Etcetera ...

Dave Gradviohl, Boh Oberl'm Nominated
For Mebrashan 'Star Of Week' Awards
By BOB COOK
Sports Staff Writer
This week's Nebraskan choices
foi the Star of the Week award are
cited for a somewhat unpublicized
phase of athletics.
Dave Gradwohl and Bob Oberlin,
two Husker senior competitors,
have recently been- lauded for
scholastic achievement as they
closed out their collegiate careers.
Both have been three year letter
men on their respective squads,
Gradwohl a free-styler on the
swimming team and Oberlin,
standout center of Orange-bow
fame.
Almost Impossible Career
To win three college letters is an
accomplishment. To lead the entire
university scholastic ally during
such a period is verging on spectac
ular. But to combine these accom
plishments along with outstanding
work in debate is close to impos
sible. This sums up the college career
of Dave Gradwohl, senior on Coach
Hollis Leply's tank squad. Grad
wohl's 8.44 overall average entitled
him to two C. W. Boucher Memori
al Awards, one for finishing at the
top of his class, the other for
holding the highest average of any

YOU GET MORE deep-down smoking enjoyment from Luckiea
than any other brand. .The reason, plain and simple, ' that
Luckiea taste better. They taste better, first of all, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then that tobacco ia
toasted to taste better. "If Toasted" the famous Lucky
Strike process tones up Luckiea' light, good-tasting tobacco
to make it taste even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother.
You'll enjoy the Droodle above, too; it's titled: Three on a
match Luckies, of course. Whenever smokers put their
heads together, they agree you can't match a Lucky for favor.
Come light-up time, enjoy a better-tasting Lucky yourself!
