Returning champions arc nu
merous aa the Big Six track and
field meet opens today, but some
of their thrones are tottering pre
cariously. And, sad to Nebraska,
it is the Huskers who are in grav
est danger.
Seven defending champions are
back, among them Huskers Lloyd
Wright, Ed Wibbels, Bus Knight
and the three of them are going
to meet some tall competition.
Wright, who recently became elig
ible, had not rounded into shape
at the time of the Kansas State
meet, and the Beatrice junior, who
tied with Ed Toribio of Oklahoma
in the hundred last year, is still a
question mark.
Wibbels has been off form all
season in the discus which he won
last year, while javelin champion
Knight is at present on the injury
list with a pulled elbow.
John Munski of Missouri won
the mile and half mile last year,
but he may remain out of the
shorter race what with Marshall
Reeves, indoor champion, seem
ingly back in form after a muscle
injury.
Ray Harris of Kansas pulled a
surprise by beating Charley
Mitchell of K-State in the two
mile last year, but hasn't done
anything because of a bad ankle
this spring. Thaine High of K
State won the indoor mile, but has
been below form this spring, too,
so the title may go to a team
mate, Lawrence Kelley, or to
Munski.
Surest of retaining his laurels
poems to be Elmer Hackney,
Wildcats' shot putter. Big Hack
has had bad luck since setting
that 51-10 record as a sophomore.
Last year he had a bad hand, but
he may get over 52 feet this
weekend.
And about as sure looks Dick
Sdinacke, Iowa State high jumper
who tied with Bob Stoland of
Kansas In the high jump, last
year. Stoland, by the way, won

Nebraska holds eight indoor
six outdoor cinder crowns
Far out ahead of the peak in
Big Six track and field champion
ships is Nebraska. Since the first
conference meet, which was in
1929, the Huskers have won eight
indoor and six outdoor crowns, al-
tho they shared the 1939 indoor
title with the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Huskers now are defending
indoor and outdoor champions,
having surprised last May with an
outdoor victory at the Ames con
ference meet after having been
relegated to fifth in the indoor
compete. They won the 1940 in
door meet held last March in Kan
sas City, with a sensational crop
of sophomores.
Tigers threaten.
Biggest threats to the Huskers
this spring seem to be Missouri
and Oklahoma. The Tigers are the
only team to break the near-Hus-ker
monopoly which began in
1936, having won the 1938 outdoor
and the 1939 indoor.
Recent history shows that in
1936 and 1937 the great duo of
Lloyd Cardwell and Sam Francis
led the Huskers to victory. In 1938,
the Huskers had a fine chance to
win until star hurdler Bill Gish
dislocated a shoulder in practice
and did not compete. His points
would probably have put the

ever, the registrar's office failed
to give him credit because of the
technicality, so he lacks hours for
competition.

Huskers in first place instead of
second.
Last team other than Nebraska
or Missouri to win a title was
Oklahoma. The Sooners won the
outdoor meet in 1935. Their only
other wins came in the 1929 and
1933 indoors, winning singly in
1929, and tying the Huskers in the
latter year.
Kansas shows the best record
next to the Huskers, having won
the 1934 indoor, and the outdoor
meets in 1930, ,'31, and '34. Only
other team to win a championship
is Kansas State, who took the in
door bunting in 1935. Iowa State
has never had a championship
team.

golf, tennis
Nebraska ranks as
strong contender
for OU's tennis title
Oklahoma's Sooners are the
ones that Big Six schools are
aiming to beat in tennis and golf
play in the conference champion
ships held here today and Satur
day. The Oil State lads are 1939
champions in the net sport. Ed
Lindsey, Oklahoman, is the re
turning singles champ. His chief
obstacle is Nebraska's Harold
Rundle, who was runnerup to
Lindsey at Ames last year.
Team laurels are supposed to
lie between the Sooners and the
Huskers with Oklahoma given a
slight edge. Nebraska's quartet of
Rundle, John Huston, Harry An
keny and Chuck Eberline are un
defeated in six starts.
NU-Ames deadlocked.
Second to Oklahoma in tennfs
last year were the Huskers and
Iowa State who were deadlocked
for runnerup honors.
In golf, Kansas is the 1939
champion. The Jayhawkers beat
the Sooners by one stroke to win
the title. Dean Ritchie, Kansas
amateur champ, is the only re
turning letterman. Oklahoma and
Iowa State are figured to be in.
the running for the number one
position. The latter has the Hall
brothers, Billy and Max Hall, to
threaten individual honors.
Nebraska's links quartet will be
composed of four of the following
six men: Bill Mowbray, Wally
Spomer, Jack Weidman, Frank
Tallman, Don Million, and Jack
