Bob Simmons, who came out of
Saturday's meet with 15 points,
most any Husker has scored in a
meet since the good old days of
Lloyd "the Hoss" Cardwell, said
that Elmer Hackney had put a
brick out 55 feet "just to get his
range," so that everyone in the
crowd knew what had happened
when the heave landed beyond the
brick.
Lincoln Journa
Be Simmon.
We don't like to claim honors
not due us, but we've been thing
ing of sending a letter to the
K-State athletic department
asking for a medal or sumpin'
for indirectly giving Hackney
the boot that seemed to set him
off on that astounding 55-11 shot
put heave he made, by announc
ing last week that Bill Watson
had a mark better than his
best at that time. Hackney's
dander seemed to rise when he
heard it.
Dan Partner, K-Slate's athletic
publicity director, said last week
end in a letter to this column that
discovery of the fact that Watson
had a 54 foot mark had left Hack
ney "talking to himself." Roy
Swafford, sports editor of the K
State Collegian, said in his column
written before the meet that Hack
ney was all Tired up, and would
probably "go to town" Saturday.
The boys didn't know just how
right they were going to be.
As we've often said before,
there's nothing like winning...
we heard more praise for Ne
braska's baseball team over Fri
day and Saturday than we've
heard in a long tiime. . .this is
being written before learning
what the Huskers did over at
Ames yesterday. . .also made a
discovery which was not altoget
her surprising to us. . .Last sem
ester, Norm Harris and yours
truly took turns at razzing Let
Kappelman, then sports editor
of the Daily Kansan. . .he'd
never bite, though. . .Kap, who
plays with the K. U. ball team
said last weekend that they did
n't take the DAILY NEBRAS
KAN at the Kansas office, so he
was blissfully unaware of any
missiles being hurled In his di
rection. Wonder what the boys back east
will be saying about their "nation's
best shot-putter", Frank Ryan of
Columbia now... their newest the
ory about the good sprint times
that are made out on the west
coast is that somebody out there
is "doctoring" them. . .judging
from some of the eastern perfor
mances this year our comment is
that msybe some of their athletes,
when compared to those on the
west coast, need some "doctoring."

Fast-breaking

Scarlet shirts hold
early lead; Pitcaithey's
12 tallies pace victors
Displaying a wealth of new
found speed and turning it into
a fast break that left their more
inexperienced foes out in the cold,
a flashy Red squad trounced a
plucky but futile White shirted
aggregation 50 to 24 in the sec
ond of a three game intrasquad
series.
Coach Browne started Harry
Pitcaithley and Hartmann Goetze
at forwards, Al Randall at center
and Don Fitz and Sid Held at
guards on the winning team.
Leonard Van Buskirk, John Hay.
Don Pollock, Herb Grote and
Bruce Duncan made up the mem
bership of the White team.
Reds lead from start.
The Reds jumped into an early
lead on buckets by Randall and
Goetze and never relinquished it,
leading at the half 26 to 4. The
Whites came back rejuvenated in
the third quarter and outscored
the Reds 13 to 12 but were unable
to hold tip under the pace and
wilted in the final period.
Harry Pitcaithley led the scor
ing with 12 tallies while John Hay
and Bruce Duncan shared scoring
honors on the White team with
7 counters apiece. Box:
