THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
A!
m 11
By Junt Bierbower.
Big Six Indoor hangovers: The
Nebraska contingent was none too
happy after the morning qualify
ing rounds were over. . .the Husk
ers placed only seven men to Mis
souri's nine... then the shot put
was run off entirely, and Elmer
Hackney fir Ally came thru with a
good peYf ot mance to beat Ed Wib
bels, who In the light of Hack
ney's pp'.-vious marics, was a little
favored to win. Hack's winning
toss was no streak of luck, for the
5berlin big boy was getting good
OMstance Ml his efforts.
r,
The shot was completed in the
morning because of the danger to
officials, spectators and competi
tors which would have been pres
ent at night... not that there
wasn't any danger in the morning
. . .one unidentified putter we
think it was Hackney, let go with
a wild heave which sailed over on
the straightaway... it missed Ma
rian Miller, an A.A.U. official by
the barest of margins... in fact, if
harin't ducked tt wouldn't have
miuKl him... Marshall Reeves,
Missouri Junior and defending title
holder in the 880 from last year,
just about didn't qualify. . .the
Tiger, who set the new record of
1:56.9, took it easy in a morning
oualifvine heat... then when he
started to put on the speed he was
boxed coming around the last
and rot in third by the skin
of his teeth... after that race he
avowed be d get out in front and
tv there that nieht...he did.too,
as he took the lead and held it
on th wav. . .incidentally, Harold
rooks, who was second, ran me
distance in the fastest time a Ne
braska half-miler has ever done.
1:57.7.
Kansas and Kansas State were
helping the Huskers along in great
shape late in the meet as they
took points from Missouri in
events where the Tigers were
strong and the Huskers weren't to
keen Mizzou from taking up all
the slack Nebraska had...Thaine
High beat John Munski In the
2-mile, and then Merle Cunning
ham, Iowa State soph came up
with a great run to finish ahead
f Lonesome John, too... Munski
had but 25 minutes rest from the
mile to the 2-mile... In the broad
jump, J. FL Jones, K. U. sopho
more led at the end of the pre
liminaries, and Sol- Schumitzky,
Missouri's star, couldn't beat him
in the finals... The Kansans and
Kansas Staters weren't averse to
cutting Mizzou out of all the points
they could. . .they got quite a kick
out of helping the Huskers out
Missouri just about had to set a
new relay record if they wanted
to beat the Huskers The relay
was run in heats, and first Okla
homa, then Iowa State broke the
old records it was Tiger against
Husker in that last relay event,
and some 3 or 4,000 people were on
their feet. . .Missouri would have
won the meet by a small fraction
had their time been second best,
and had the Huskers finished out
of the money ... however, the Ti
gers needed to beat the Huskers
in that final heat for any consider
ation at all, for if they'd have won
e race in slower time than Okia-
oma and Mizzou, the Huskers
would still have won the meet...
However, the Tigers couldnt come
thru in the relay. . .the first two
Mizzou runners got quite an edge
on the Huskeri, but Warren
Radtke, running third, took up the
slack in a great race, and then
Red Littler, who really had them
gap'.ng, spurted out in front of
Reeves, running last for Missouri
and stayed there.

Delta Sigs
face SAE's
in 'B' finals
Delta Sigma Pi went into the
finals of the "B" basketball race
last night as they defeated Phi
Gamma Delta 8-4 in a thrilling,
rough and tumble defensive battle.
Galycn made six of the victors'
eight points, as the Delta Sigs
were sinking their free throws.
The losers could get but one field
goal, that by Don Pollock.
The Delta Sigs, winner in
League 3, will face Sigma Alpha
Rpsilon, League 1 winner in the
finals, probably tonight. The Sig
Alphs, who have been led by Her
mie Rohrig and Bill Wellinger,
went into the championship game
by a victory over Delta Theta Phi,
League 2 champions.
The weather
Probable weather for today in
Lincoln can best be described by
saying, "Cloudy with light to mod
erate snow and little change in
temperature."
