BUCKSHOT
Odds Ends Today
Lots of buck and more shot today. First and foremost
on this writer's mind is the Husker track meet of last
der spectacle IVe seen at Nebraska as both teams did
themselves proud. There were some outstanding races,
containing some good ' kick" finishes, the kinds the fans
really enjoy.
Best of the Saturday dual, which not only rivaled the
major league baseball games and the Kentucky Derby
on the tube but the Ivy Day Show on campus as well,
was the mile run. Colorado's Bob Griffith must have had
a funny feeling to see NU's Mike Fleming and Ray Stev
ens simultaneously step by him in the final 50 yards of
the race. Fleming won the race in 4:19.8 and Stevens
ran a close second in 4:19. Both times broke the old
meet record of 4:20.0 set by Fleming in 1958.
This was not the only thriller, though, as the 440-yard
sweep the sprints), the endurable Flem-
v . ing (double winner in the mile and two
J mile), timber-toppers Bill Fasano, Fred
uaailirnul Will-a nnA Pin Mvnra CtOTrtmc Pill ITsii.
Wohlfarth
Johnson and Juris Jesifers.
l To Rely on Depth
Taking nothing away from these outstanding perform
ances, the 73-63 Husker win was a show of team strength
by Frank Sevigne's crew. Nebraska set four meets rec
ords (two more were erased by the wind) and won ten
of the sixteen events. The two teams split the relays but
the Huskers picked up valuable seconds in four events,
thirds in tine more and tied for second and third place
in another. The NU sweep of two events (high hurdles
and broad jump) and the valuable seconds and thirds were
important in the final outcome.
It is this Husker depth, in fact, which will be the tell
ing tale in the Big Eight Outdoor Track Meet at Lawr
ence May 18-19. If Nebraska can qualify and place
enough men the Huskers are a cinch.
The track team and Coach Sevigne would like nothing
better than to bomb Kansas at their home fort. Still
smarting in the minds of the Scarlet cindermen is the
1112 of a point loss to Kansas in the Indoor Meet and
the Huskers are fired up for their title shot.
Go gettom you groundpounders, timber toppers, sprint
speedsters, weight wielders and distance dynamos!!!
Innocent Invsuies Meet
One more highlight of the track meet was the tackle
with which Innocent Marsh Kuhr cracked Ray Stevens,
right after Stevens had finished his second duty of the
afternoon the 880-yard run.
Kuhr beaded across the inifeid, spotted Stevens bead
ing toward the field house, then sprinted toward the Hus
ker distance ace, much to the delight of the crowd. Ste
vens did not see Kuhr aproaching until he was a few
steps sway and lowered the boom.
This corner congratulates the two Husker athletes,
Stevens and Bill Thornton, for their well-deserved selec
tion into the Society.
Upcoming on the sports scene is the big All Sports Day
attraction, featuring NU's tennis, baseball, track and
football teams. The NU Rodeo is also on tap for this
weekend and these two events should provide plenty of
sports excitement.
Cards Look Tough
Elsewhere on the sports scene, this corner can't let
the chance go by to say a few words about a real threat
in the National League race the St. Louis Cardinals.
Despite the repudiating remarks of a few disloyals on
the home front, this could be the year for the Cards.
Optimism is growing at such a rapid rate, partly due
to the Cardinals' best start in years and equally respon
sible to the rosy future promised by Harry & Joe, that
it may become necessary to form a Husker Redbird
Rootm Club (HRRC). Underlying elements are already
in the process of organizing the club with Ron Moyer
as President and The Old Pro as corresponding secre
tary. If interested, you should contact Bud. Outstanding
IOUs will be accepted as membership dues.

Nebraska's rracksters will
lay their perfect outdoor rec
ord on the line against Kan
sas State Saturday in All
Sports Day competition.
The Huskers, considered to
be the toughest competition
for for perennial favorite Kan
sas in a bid for the Big Eight
crown, should easily come up
with a victory over the Wild
cats. Earlier this season the Ne
braskans edged Colorado and
the Air Force Academy at
Colorado Springs and then
topped Colorado in a dual
here last Saturday. NU also
downed Houston in a -home
dual meet.
Husker Ray Knaub, sprint
champion of the Texas and
Kansas Relays, will get some
stiff competition from Dale
Alexander who has run the
100-yard dash in :09.6. The
Nebraska blond flyer from
SeottsbMf was clocked in
.09.4 against Colorado Satur
day and owns several times
of :09.5.
Two-Miler
Kansas State also has a
top-notch two-miler in John
McNeal who could give Hus
ker distance ace Mike Flem
ing a good race. Last week
against Colorado. Fleming
was caught in 9:37.6.
Nebraska mill also enter
Don Degnan and Steve Pfis
ter in the dashes with Tom
Saunders, Gil Gebo and Dk
Hoelscher in the 440-yard rr?
Probable entrants in the 880
vard run wiQ be juniors Bill
Kenny and Ray "Skip Stev
ens along with sophomore
John Portee.
In addition to ruTmma the
two-mile event, Fleming will!
probably run the mue witn
support from Stevens, Matrro
Altizio and Stuart Tucker.
440 Relay Threat
Reports from Kansas State
indicate that the Wildcat 440-

yard relay team could push
the Husker quartet of Fred
Wilke, Pfister, Degnan and
Knaub. The Nebraskans own
a time of :41.4, run against
Colorado.
In the mile relay event, the
Huskers may go with Saurd
ers, LeRoy Keane, Gebo and
Kenny or Clarence Scott.
On the field, Ron Stout of
Kansas State could win the
shot put if he has a good
day. The husky Wildcat has
heaved the iron ball ever 54
feet this spring. His eompeti
tion will come from Huskers
Larry Reiners and Roland
Johnson.
Discos Points
The Huskers will also count
on Reiners and Johnson fcr
points in the discus event,
Gary Robinson is the top Ne
braska hope in the javelin.
Juris Jesifers wOl have
some stiff competition from
poie vaulter David Walker
who has cleared more than
14-0 this spring. Jesifers
cleared 14-0 during the indoor
season against Colorado.
Victor Brooks, sophomore
