SunHoy, MorcH 3, 1940 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Trackmen trip Sooeiers G2-42 Littler gets 6.2 seconds in close sixty Nebraska's indoor track team passed its last test before the Big Sir championship with flying colors, as the Husker powerhouse The Huskers won clear-cut first places in ten events and a share of an eleventh, while the best Ok lahoma could do was a victory in the relay, and two out of three places in a triple tie for first in the high jump. It was Red Littler, the Mitchell comet, who paced the Huskers. First the redhead nosed out Grinnin' Grandaddy Orv Matthews of the Sooners in the 60, as he did it in 6.2. That ties Heye Lam- bertus' stadium record, and the accepted world's record, which has been tied more times than a shoe string. Wins 440. Littler came back in the 440 a few minutes later, and easily beat Bill Lyda, the Sooner sophomore in :50.3. He again broke Bob Simmons' old indoor record of :50.4, but couldnt equal the :50.1 he did three weeks ago against Kansas. Littler won the broad jump, too. He got 21-10 as Bill Smutz did not compete. JacK Benger, who will attempt to become eligible for the Big Six championships, had 22-84 but his mark did not count in the standings. Harold Brooks was in on two of the most thrilling finishes of the evening, as he eked out mile and half-mile victories. He slowed up on the last lap of the mile to let Bill Cook catch up with him, but Ray Gahan of the Sooners turned on a ferocious kick to pass Cook, and come within inches of catching Brooks, who won in the comparatively slow time of 4:35.4. Lyda edged out The Gothenburger had to fight his way past Lyda on the home stretch of the half mile, to win in 1:59.3, which was better than the old indoor record, but two-tenths of a second off the mark Brooks set last Friday night Bill Smutz, who was also a dou ble winner, furnished the fourth narrow win for Nebraska, as he lunged at the tape to beat Jack Morris in 7.8 seconds. He beat Morris more easily to win the lows in 7.1 seconds. LeRoy Walker? the boy who has been training on gelatine, won the 2-mile run with yards to spare in 10:02.2, as Dale Garrels finished second. That was the only runner up spot the Huskers got all night Harold Hunt beat out Harry Fender in the pole vault at 13 feet while Ed Wibbels got his best competitive put of the year, 48-10 to beat Byron Potter in the shot Dal Nannen tied high jumpers Morris and Flippo at 5-74 in the high jump, while the Sooner relay team of Matthews, Benson, Coo gan and Gahan won in 3:36.2. Bob Simmons couldn't better 49 seconds, and had to be content with a good :49.5 in his exhibition against frosh Don Morris in the 440. Bob Ginn got 1:59.4 in the 880 frosh exhibition as Chuck Old- father, Harlan Culwell and Jim Brogan followed him to the tape. Gym team breaks even Nebraska's gymnastics team won over Colorado university's Biff Seven eastern division cham pions Thursday night for the sec ond straight year, winning by 3964 to 379 V. Men taking first place for Nebraska were Johnson on the parallel bars, Cadwell on the horse and Dyer on the rings. Friday night Greeley State's gymnastic team defeated the Huskers 180 14 to 162, taking first in three of five events. Proffitt of Nebraska took first on the high bar, and Cadwell on the horse Greeley won the prallel bars, fly ing rings and the mates. Wrestlers drop match to Hawkeyes Nebraska's hapless wrestling team dropped their final dual of the season as Iowa U. beat them here yesterday 23 to 4. Most exciting match of the afternoon was in the 136 pound class when George Cockle of the Huskers drew with Newell Ingle. Newton Copple won the Huskers' only decision as he beat Taylor of the Hawkeyes in an overtime period. Two Falls. Iowa won two falls, as Ralph Geppert threw Harold Walkup in 7 minutes flat with a body scis- sore and bar arm. Paul Whitmore, Hawkeye high scorer, threw Al Mulliken in 7:36 using a body press-spread eagle. Art Johnson decisioned the Huskers' Bill Rumbolz in the heavyweight division in the after noon's comic match. Rumbolz, who got the heavyweight job after Royal Kahler and George Seemann were forced out with injuries, stayed with the touted Johnson for the limit. Bill Sherman beat Milt Kuska in the 121 pound division; Phil Millen beat Ed McConnell at 128 pounds, while Captain Clarence Kemp decisioned Ray Tomes in a fine 155 pound match on the part of both men. Sixty per cent of Columbia uni versity's graduates continue their studies in the university s ad vanced schools. Bad weather greets start of grid drills 89 report to Jones for practice; squad divided into two teams Faced with the usual jinx of poor spring practice weather, Major "Biff Jones was more than consoled at the sight of the 89 football candidates who reported Friday for the first day of practice. An urgent need for the new field house was again seen as players worked out in the crowded quar ters of the stadium. Jones drilled the Huskers on plays after divid ing them into Harvard and Yale squads. Frosh Vic Schleich and Charles Duda were the only year lings to break into the two top lineups. Yale Squad. The first Yale combination car ried only veterans with Charley Carper, Lincoln, and Bob Ludwick, Lincoln, ends; Royal Kahler, Grand Island, and Forrest Behm, Lin coln, tackles; George Abel, Lin coln, and George Stearns.

In the lineup for Harvard were Ray Prochaska, Ulysses, and Charles Duda, South Sioux City, ends; Clarence Herndon, Grand Island, and Vic Schleich, Lincoln, tackles; Warren Alfson, Wisner, and Eddie Echwartzkopf, Lincoln, guards, and Fred Meier, Lincoln, center.

Huskers get third in swim meet Iowa State outclasses K-State and NU to win Big Six by 25 points Special to DAILY NEBRASKAN. AMES, Iowa March 2 Iowa State college's Big Six swimming champions retained their crown for the third consecutive time, winning the Big Six meet held at Ames today. Kansas State and Nebraska, with 38 and 32 points respectively, followed the Cyclone total of 63 points. Ralph worden, Nebraska diver, lost the crown he won last year, when Al Gage, Cyclone sophomore, nosed him out by nine-tenths of a point to win. Gage, Worden and Kansas's Koehling were duel ing against each other all the way, with Gage going out in front on his last dive. Marshall Stover of Kansas State and Bordy, Nebras ka, followed the trio in the results. Eight records fell in the meet with Iowa State setting five new ones, Kansas State, two and Okla homa, one. Starting the competi tion with the 300 yard medley relay, Iowa State set a record time of 3:14.5, lowering the mark of 3:20.95 set by Nebraska in 1937. Oklahoma and Nebraska placed second and third. The rest of the meet remained at a high pace with Roger Adams, Iowa State, and Stover setting two new marks each. Gene Armstrong closed his collegiate competition by holding the 150 yard down for the third year. In the preliminaries, held Fri day, six records were lowered in the time trials, two of these marks, the 200 yard breast stroke and the 440 yard free style, stood up against Saturday's record breaking surge. Nebraska stayed within strik ing distance of second place with the balance of power shown by the Huskers. Placing in every event but two, the 150 yard back stroke and 400 yard relay, they picked up enough points to beat out Oklahoma 23 points and Kansas 12. B. D. O. C. B. D. O. C. B. D. O. C. B D. 0. C.
