3 K V Friday, March 8, 1940 THE DAILY NEBRASKA Huskers, Mizzou to fight it out at Big Six indoor meet in Kansas City auditorium Nebraska's indoor track team leaves at ten this morning- for what looks like one of the closest two-team races in the history of the Big Six Indoor championships. The brilliant Husker sophomore crew has won three meets this (season, but faces a sturdy foe in Missouri, defending champions. Nebraska's wins have come mainly on the brilliant perform ances of individual stars, while Missouri has a well-balanced team in addition to John Munski, dis tance ace. Red Littler, Bill Smutz, Harold Brooks and Harold Hunt, the sophomore quartet, will all have to be considered as championship contenders. Then there is shot putter Ed Wibbels, who has been the Big Six's best weight pusher this year. Those five men Littler in the 60 and 440, Smutz in the hurdles, Brooks in the mile and half-mile, Hunt in the pole vault, and Wibbels in the shot, are the Huskers' hopes for first places. Smutz, suffering from a foot bruise, will not be entered in the brad jump although Littler will, broad jump although Littler will broad jumper, is ineligible for the semester. Othen go. LeRoy Walker, George Abel, Millard Cluck, Bill Cook, Dale Garrels, Erwin Goldenstein, Bob Kahler, Dale Nannen, Roy Pro chaska, Warren Radtke, Harold Scott are the other men going, and it is from this group that Weir is looking for enough points to help his mainstays out against the Tiger powerhouse. Miler and 2-miler Munski, along with broad jumper Schumitzky and half-miler Reeves are about the only sure first place con tenders the Tigers have, unless Higgins beats the Huskers' Hunt in the pole vault. Hunt has the better marks this year, but is suffering from stepping on a nail. The Tigers, however, have two fine hurdlers in White and John son, a good shot putter in Rouse, two more good broad jumpers, two good quarter-milers and three capable high jumpers, all of whom can get valuable points. Sooners have stars. Oklahoma, with Matthews, Lyda, Gahan, Fender, and Tone may get third, as Matthews, Lyda and Gahan will be close to the top in their events. Kansas State, with Hackney, Solt, Darold Dodge and Akers as mainstays, may threaten somewhat, while Kansas and Iowa State should bring up the rear. Ray Harris, miler, is KU's best threat, but he has been suffering from injuries. Iowa State hasn't much except Graves in the quarter-mile and Dick Schnacke, who is the favorite in the high jump. Preliminaries on the new spruce track in the Kansas City mu nicipal auditorium will be Satur day afternoon and the finals are Saturday night. 'TP TP TPTT1 D Mil ilJi o By June Bierbower. Making their first bids for Big Six fans will be an exceptional group of sophomores at the con ference indoor track meet in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City, March 9. For most of them the meet will be their first big chance at the glory and fame which many of their Big Six predecessors have won. The present group of sopho mores appears to b the best in years. Conference lATO's, Farm House enter ON YOUR CAMPUS ...you're bound to sec the Stetson "Campus" It rates an "A" with style wise students. Its lines are clean-cut ...its colors, flattering. Flattering, too, is that felt binding...a new touch. ofe? (Oat wfi a STETSON HAT FIVE DOLLARS AND VP i i wrestle meet starts today Tomes, Kuska look like Nebraska's best bets at Iowa State Jerry Adam's Husker wrestling team, victorious against only Chi cago this year, concludes the 1940 season today and tomorrow at the Big Six championships to be held in the Iowa State gym in Ames. Milt Kuska, junior 121 pounder who was runnerup to Harry James of Oklahoma in that division last year, is probably the Huskers' leading hope for points. James, however, is back, and Farland Fansher of Kansas State who was fourth last year, and who holds a decision over Kuska this year, is entered. Ed McConnell will represent the Huskers in the 128 pound class, but Ray Stone, Iowa State, de fending champion, Harold Byrd of Oklahoma and William Hartman of Kansas State are the favorites in that class. Stone won a close decision from Hartman, who in turn lost to Byrd during the dual season. Strong 136 pounders George Cockle, sophomore 136 pounder, will face such strong opposition as Verle McCleelan of Kansas State, Willis Kuhn, Iowa State, and Jay Smith Lee of Okla homa. McClellan, the favorite, threw Kuhn in a dual meet this year. Glen Duncan, Kansas State's undefeated 145 pound star, is the favorite In that division, in which Newton Copple of the Huskers is entered. Jay Smith of Oklahoma will be another strong contender. This year's 155 pound class is a tossup, as three men who placed in three different weights last year will be entered. Gerald "Jiggs" Van Vleet of K-State, who was second in that division last year, will have to get by Gene Farrell of Iowa State, who was second in the 145 pound class in 1939. Ray Tomes, the Husker entry who should grab off a place, was third in the 165 pound divi sion last spring. Harold Walkup will be in the 165 pound class for the Huskers. Sam Linn of Iowa State, and Leland Porter, Kansas State, who wrestled to a draw in the dual season are the favorites. Reynard favored Leon Reynard, defending cham pion in the 175 pound class, and undefeated this year, is almost a cinch in that division. His main competition will come from Iowa State sophomore Dave Schwitters. Al Mulliken is the Husker entry. Howard Buck of Iowa State, defending champion, is the heavy weight favorite, but faces a strong foe in Keith Collins, light heavy weight from Kansas State who gave him a tough battle during the dual season. Charles Delhotcl of the Sooners and Bill Rumbolz, Nebraska's third heavyweight of the season, complete the entries. Kansas State, undefeated in the dual conference season, is the favorite in the meet which they won last year by nosing out Iowa State. Oklahoma who was third last year, will give the Cyclones a battle for the runnerup spot, while the Huskers will probably be rele gated to fourth again this year. Missouri and Kansas U. do not have teams. Drawings at 3 Preliminary drawings will be made at 3 today, with the weigh ing in at 5.

Delts win. In the only Class B game last night, Delta Tau Delta kept Delta Sigma Pi from a league champion ship 23-22. However, the Delta Sigs have filed a protest, claim ing that the Delts used men who had played on the Delt "A" team. If the protest is ruled valid, the game will go to the Delta Sigs, and they will enter the Class B semifinals against Phi Gamma Delta, which team has already won League 4. Ed Dosek marked up 12 points for the Delts, while Al Schmode looked best for the Delta Sigs.
