In comparing results of the Nebraska-Kansas,
Iowa State- Mis
souri, and Drake-Kansas State in
door track meets last weekend,
some interesting figures crop up.
For instance, it looks as though
Elmer Hackney is going to bum
things up again in the shot putting
world. The big fellow from Ober
lin, Kansas, did 50' 11 1-2" in the
shot, and that's about as good as
anyone has done this winter.
Hackney didn't start last spring
until after the wrestling season,
but he's been mixing wrestling and
track this winter, and it isn't
harming his shot put work. His
Big Six outdoor record is 51' 10",
and from this point it looks as
though he may be breaking it this
year. And from this early in the
season we'll pick Hack to defend
his national collegiate title in that
event.
Charley Mitchell of Kansas
State made better time in the mile
than did Missouri's John Munski.
Munski set a meet record of 4:29.6
against Iowa State, but Mitchell,
defending outdoor champion and
record holder in the two mile, did
the shorter distance in 4:29.6.
Nebraska's "kidney shaped"
track that is Bill Hargiss' de
scription prevents any very good
times from being made on it, but
the Husker mile relay men turned
in a 3:39.5 mark, same as did Mis
souri's quartet. Incidentally, that
combination of Morris, Beltz, Pan
konin and Simmons should develop
into a real threat In the Big Six
championships should Ed Weir
care to use them. Beltz, sopho
more from Lincoln high, placed
third behind1 Simmons and Pan
konin in ' Saturday's 440, put the
Huskers ahead of K-State's relay
team on the second lap. Pankonin
increased the lead, and Simmons
coasted until the Wildcat's anchor
man got a bit too close for com
fort. Then, as they say, Bob bar
reled. Marshall Reeves, sophomore
from Charleston, Mo., who was
thrice mile and half-mile state high
school champion in that state, did
1:59.5 in the half mile for the
Tigers. Paul Burrus turned in a
9:58 two-mile, which was some 22
seconds better than Husker Walk
er's mark, but which took a back
seat to little Bill Keiler's 9:36.6
against Kansas State. The Drake
towhead set a new fieldhouse mark
as he beat Charley Mitchell, the
Wildcat's pride and joy.
Then we notice our man Sol
Schumitzky led Missouri as they
swept the broad jump against
Iowa State. He did 23 3 1-2",
which seems to put him In a class
by himself insofar as the Big Six
Is concerned. Bob Sargent of Iowa
State looked good as he did 13'
4 3-4" in the pole vault, but that
seems to be about the only event
where the Cyclones stand much of
a chance at first place in the con
ference championships.
Pete Kwiner, Missouri senior
shot putter, got 47' 2" in his event,
which was three lnchees better
than sophomore Ed Wibbels did in
placing second to Bob Mills here
Saturday. This shot put event is
a football paradise, or something.
Finishing behind Ewing were My
ron Council and Stillman Rouse,
both gridders, while Ray Pro
chaska and Bill Bunsen competed
for Nebraska and Kansas here
And, icst we forget, Kansas State
still has Hackney, for which we
aren't too happy.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY
Weirmen seek
second win
Saturday
Huskers test Sooners
under east stadium;
Frosh dual also on deck
With the opening meet of the
year against Kansas U. safely
tucked in the win column, Coach
Ed Weir's Husker track squad
will go against the Oklahoma cin
der squad Saturday, on the in
door track under the east stadium.
It will be the initial indoor af
fair for the Sooners, and while
their strength is therefore un
known, a galaxy of returning let
termen serve notice that they will
be no push-over for Nebraska.
The Oklahomans finished in the
Big Six outdoor fest, only two and
one-half points behind the second
place Cornhuskers. Returning to
that squad are Eddie Toribio,
Ernest Haskell, Ray Gahan, Thim
Finley, Granville Barrett, Vern
Mullen and John Shirk.
Toribio placed third in the Big
Six 100 yard dash, tied for second
and third in the 220, and was sec
ond in the indoor 60. Haskell col
lected a fourth in the century, with
a ruth in the furlong. Finley
placed third in the 440, and in last
year's Oklahoma-Nebraska dual
beat out Bob Simmons. Mullen
cleared 6 feet one-half inch to tie
for third and fourth in the out
door high jump.
Sooners Best in 880.
It is in the 880 that the Sooners
will have the best representation.
however. Returning: in the half
mile are Gahan, who breasted the
tape in the indoor meet in 1:58.7;
together with Barrett, who won
the outdoor 880 in the time of
1:53.8.
Weir was disappointed with sev
eral events in last week s dual de
spite the fact that his outfit was
the winner. However, he was
pleased with the showing of
sophomore Harold Scott, plus his
two shot put putters, Bob Mills
and Edsel Wibbels.
Scott cleared 12 feet 3 inches
in the pole vault, and barely
missed 12-9. Mills bettered his best
previous mark by getting 49 feet
9 inches with the shot, while three
times Wibbels reached better than
46 feet, once hitting 46-10.

Gafeiy's cop
barb title
Trounce Blue Heaven
squad in finals, 31-15
Gately's fast-breaking barb
basketball squad ran over all the
opposition that Blue Heaven's
squad could offer last night, to
the tune of a 31-15 score.
The Gately boys took the lead
from the start, so completely that
Blue Heaven was held almost
scoreless during the major part
of the first half. The set defense
of the luckless "Angels" was not
able to set itself in time to stop
the torrid passing attack and free
shooting of Ordson and Woita.
In the semi-final rounds, played
earlier in the evening, Gately's
beat the Dark Horse squad, 20
15. Blue Heaven won over Mac's
Ramblers, 16-10.

Coach W. H. Browne's Scarlet
clad Huskers find themselves in
the key position to the Big Six
basketball question this week.
With Kansas State the only team
out of running, there is a spread
of only one game over the remain
ing five clubs. The Huskers. in a
triple tie for third, now have four
games remaining, one with each
of the four leaders.
Ten days ago found the Iowa
State five in the driver's seat,
while now the Cyclones are in a
tight second spot. They were
rudely upset by Nebraska and
Kansas State last week, to give
Oklahoma the lead. The Sooners
downed Missouri for their only
conference fray.
Hugh Drake's quintet must hit
the road for three of their remain
ing four battles, traveling to Kan
sas, Nebraska and Kansas State,
while Iowa State are in the best
position, each with only one game
left on a foreign court.
The road jinx continues to haunt
the Big Six, with Kansas' 40 to 38
decision over Kansas State the
only joust in 19 games that has
found the invading team on top.
The Huskers must win both of
their games this week if they ex
pect to cop the title. Tuesday
night they travel to Kansas to
take on the improved Jayhawks,
while Saturday Missouri moves in
to the Capital City. Both ' teams
hold early season victories over
the Scarlet.
