After losing the first game of
the series 5-0, the Cornhuskers
bounced back to sweep both ends
of the double header 10-5 and 4-3
against the Iowa State Cyclones
in Big Seven baseball action here
in Lincoln Saturday. .
The first game on Friday saw
the Huskers commit six big errors
to and Iowa State three unearned
runs. As if that wasn't enough,
Cyclone Gene Lafferty hurled a
beautiful six hitter for his second
victory of the year. Gene struck
out eight while giving up four
bases on balls and only one of his
six hits given up went for extra
bases. Al Karle punched a double
for that hit in the first inning.
Basketball All-American Gary
Thompson proved his worth in base
. ball. He scored once and procured
two hits while playing erorless ball
as shortstop. Lafferty helped his
cause along by getting two hits
and koncking in two runs. One of

Courtney's Quips
By JIM COURTNEY
Staff Sports Writer
Cinder Track Cowboy ...
Running through some data on the Drake Relays which ran Fri
day and Saturday, I noticed a mark set in 1955 in the mile by Wei
Santee. His running time was posted as 4:08.4.
Santee was probably as colorful as one could expect to find on
the cinders. I saw him run but once about three years ago. Santee
appeared to me as the most unlikely man to run a mile as anyone
ever eould. For his attire Santee had selected a faded pair of dun
garees, a pair of shiny cowboy boots, a red neckerchief, a crimson
Stetson that was showing its age and a blue workman's shirt. When
he was pointed out to me as being the man who was to run the four
minute mile, I scoffed rather lojdly. Santee then entered the con
versation with a blistering,
"There's no one better than me. I'll run the miracle mile within
two years."
Outward appearance displayed Wes as being rather conservative
in speech but a person could not remain around the person for long
without him shattering that belief. His incessant quips kept the people
around him wondering when and where he was going to meet some
who did not care that his name was the famed Wes Santee.
Wes Impressive ...
Later in the day I watched the cocky bqy wearing a Kansas
uniform display his self-advertised talents. The weather was perfect
for running. The sun hung lazily over the stadium, the track was at
its peak for performance and there were other top runners to give
Santee a race. But his boasting was not in vain. Shortly after four
minutes had elapsed from the time the starter's gun was fired, Santee
broke the tape leaving a considerable distance between himself and
his closest rival.
I could degrade the character of Santee all I wanted but I could
not deny hig running talent. He was certainly a great runner.
Will he ever make it? ..."
But his biggest boast of all bas yet to be fulfilled. The brag that
he could crack the four minute barrier of the mile distance. Time has
passed and Wes should be producing his top performances now but I
have not heard of him in quite a while. Right now he is diligently
serving with Uncle Sam in the Marine Corps. Meanwhile several run
tiers have sped under the four minute time while Santee has still to
make good his boasts to the people of the cinder oval and the news
papers ... Will he? ' -

On Saturday, the Big Red struck
back winning both games.
The big gun for the Huskers in
both games was little Jim Kubacki.
He came on in relief in the sixth
inning of the first game with the
Scarlet trailing five to one and
held the Cyclones scoreless. In the
extra-inning second game, he sin
gled home the tying and winning
runs in the last of the ninth with
two men out. He collected two for
three in the first game and two
for five in the second. Included
was a double in the first game. ,
The Huskers were all but lost in
Butterfield tied Clyde Feltes and
Herb Klontz of Iowa for low ball
on the front nine and Warren

equaled the low ball score of
Iowa's John Marshall and Bud

Once again, Mike McCuistion
took medalist honors for the Husk
ers shooting a 75. Hhe shot this
score against Iowa's Clyde Feltes
who turned the par 72 course in
70 strokes. Feltes took medalist
honors for the day.
Closest match of the day was
between Iowa's John Marshall and
Warren Christenson. Marshall shot
a 74 to Christenson's 76. Other
matches included Bud Judish of
Iowa defeating Jerry Moore 73
to 82 and Herb Klontz of Idwa best
ing John Butterfield 75 to 82.
The next day, the sixth defeat
of the season was ministered to
the much traveled Husker squad.
Led by their Captain who shot a
spectacular 69, ' Iowa State com
pletely dominated the match. Low
man for the Huskers was the
much improved John Butterfield
who shot a 76.
Despite the loss, the NU link
sters shot their best golf of the
season as Christenson posted a 79
and Moore and McCuistion both
90's. Included in McCuistion's
score -was a hot 34 on the back
nine.
This was the eighth match out
of eight that the Husker Linkaters
have played away from home

six walks during the wild inning.
The big blows of the frame were

Kane's triple. Torczon poled his
hit with the bases loaded to knock
in three runs. Kane's knock came
with one on.
Coach Tony Sharpe used three
pitchers in the win with Kubacki
getting credit for the victory.

on a sacrifice fly and the second
run was walked in. The score re

The Huskers were held to just
four hits two of them by Kubacki.
Iowa State collected six safeties
of which three were poled by Dan
Wiese, Dick Bertell's understudy.
An interesting thing to note was
that a total of twenty-one men
were left stranded by the two
teams. State had 7 and NU had,
14.

against Drake University today and

Cyclone Gridders Drill;
Myers Switches- Harden
Two veteran stars have made
important football moves for
Iowa State in the opinion of Coach
Jim Myers.
The two, Bob Harden of Omaha,
Neb., and Marv Walter of Farra
gut, played right half and fullback
last year. Now they are playing
fullback and blocking back in
Myers' single wing system.
"Both these men will be fine
blockers for us," Myers said.
"They belong at the spots where
they can do the most good in that
field. They'll be key performers in
our offense. Both have looked
real good and will be outstanding
blockers" for us."
How do the players feel about
the change of duty? They leave
no doubt about that:
"I'm mighty happy to be in the
blocking back spot," Marv Walter
said, "I feel like the position was
made for me, I feel right at home."
And Harden echoed much the
same sentiment when he said: "I
like tough football and this full
back spot seems, to be right in the
middle of all the action. You can
take it from me, I like this job."
After' four or five days of ex
ploratory work, Myers seems
pretty well set on his personnel
placement. He admitted that there
might be further shifts but right
now he is ready to settle down to
the job of getting his single wing
offense going.
"We haven't looked too good so
far because our centers- haven't
made the shift from the T to the
single wing style yet," Myers said.
"But they are coming and with
their improvement we'll get our
timing down and then begin to
show the kind of progress we
want."
Myers expressed himself as
pleased with the attitude of the
entire squad.
"Every man seems determined
to make ' the team." he said.
"That's the type of attitude we
have to have to develop a winner
here. I feel like we are beginning
to shape up."
Myers listed the following
"depth" chart for the teams he is
using this week:

Conference
A new high school athletic con
ference is in the planning and will
include eight school comprised of
three from the Capital City and
five from Omaha.
Lincoln High, Northeast and
Southeast will be the high schools
representing Lincoln while the
Omaha contributions to the new
loop will be Tech, Benson, South,
North, and Central.
Competition in some minor sports
will begin next year but those
major sports will have to be
delayed until all details are com
pleted. Officials of the new league
hope to include such things as
music, debate, speech and journal
ism to the list of conference ac
tivities while they will also include
wrestling, gymnastics, tennis, golf
and swimming by next scholastic
year.
The designing of this loop would
assure these schools eof filling out
their football schedules. Lincoln
schools could have many choices
for their open dates. Considerable
talk has given ideas of eliminating
games with schoolsfrom far-west
Nebraska. This would cut North
Platte and Scottsbluff from the
playing schedules.
The new league is no "hurry-up"
idea. It has been talked about for
years, but jelled only recently.

Gutowski's performance went

But Bobs three attempts to clear

Morrow Stars:
Husker Relay Team Finishes Second;
Tabori Beaten In Mile M Drake Relays
By JIM COURTNEY
Staff Sports Writer
Some 17,000 track fans witnessed
the rewriting of nine meet records
last Friday and Saturday at the
48th annual running of the Drake
Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.
The big fleet-footed Bobby Mor
row was the hero of the day as
he tied the Drake mark in the cen
tury distance and anchored his
Abilene Christian teammates to
two other new Drake records. Mor
row lost last year in the running
of the hundred to Duke's Dave Sime
for his only collegiate loss of his
career but Saturday he came back
to tie the mark set by Sime last
year with a clocking of 9.4 in that
event. He also ran with Raymond
Griggs, Bill Woodhouse and Jim Se
grest, his college mates, to set new
marks of 1:24.Z in the University
880-yeard relay and :40.5 in the Uni
versity 440-yard relay. The latter
had stood the assaults for 16 years
without falling.
Another great episode of the day
was the winning of the Invitational
mile-run by Iowa's Ted Wheeler.
Wheeler battled with Hungarian st
Lazslo Tabori for practically the
entire distance but his phenomenal
kick proved the difference as he
nudged Tabori at the tape for the
victory. Wheeler's time of 4:06.9 b
tered that of Wes Santee's set in
1955.
One of the day's most beautiful
performances came from Kansas
stars Ray Wyatt, Lowell Janzen,
Hal Long and Jerry McNeal who
ran a 9:51.7 University Distance
Medley Relay to win the event. The
time tell 1.3 secons short of tying
their own American record in that
performance.' Long ran a brilliant
3:00.7 three-quarter of a mile leg.
Georgetown surprised no one when
they finished first in the Univer
sity two-mile relay with a time
of 7:32, for they are as yet unbeat
en in that event and Saturday's
running made it 13 consecutive vic
tories for the Georgetown crew.
In the 480-yard Shuttle-Hurdle
relay event, a swift Missouri
squad finsihed first in front of a
pressing Nebraska quadruplet with
a time of 58:4 which broke an 18-year-old
mark set by Pepperdine
in 1939. i
