STADIUM TRACK, Feb. 14 Nebraska's Big Six cham
pion track and field aggregation added another scalp to their
already numerous collection as they inaugurated the 1942 in
door track season by defeating Missouri, 55 to 48, on the
east stadium track last night.
Splitting with the invading Tigers in the matter of first
places, with six apiece, the I Tuskers were able to cop enough
second and third points to give them the needed margin of
victory.
Littler High.
Kugene "Red" Littler, fiery Husker red head, was high
point man for the evening with
. i : -
two firsts and a second in the
three events in which he ran. He
won the 60 yard dash, 440 yard
dash and grabbed a second in the
broad jump for 13 points.
In the 60, Red got off to a
"right" start and although he
seemed to lose his step at one
place, he recovered and roared to
the tape in 6.2 seconds. This time
equals the school record which
he holds with Heye Lambertus and
came under the existing Big Six
standard of 6.3.
Ginn Fall Short.
"Bobby Ginn, diminutive Scarlet
miler, stepped off the mile in
4:19.5. For the last three laps he
was all by himself, setting his
own pace. He was working for a
new record but fell short of his
goal.
The 440 provided Husker fans
with pleasure as the Weirmen had
the first three places all to them
selves. Littler finished first fol
lowed by Al Brown and Bob
Bowles. Bowles was later disquali
fied for a collision on the curve,
keeping the tracksters from com
pletely sweeping the event.
Stop at' 14 Foot.
The pole vault, perennial favor
ite, was in a place of its own
tonight as Harold Hunt was out
classing the' field to win at 13-9.

vaulter, stayed in the ether waves

Poor UN Cagers Fall Again
up to 13-6 where he dropped out.
Hunt failed on two attempts to
scale the 14 foot heights.
In the round ball event, husky
Edsel Wibbels let go with a 49
foot six inch heave to take first
place in the shot put. Some four
inches behind was Elmer Aussie
ker for Missouri with Vic Schleich
bring Husker bound, third place
honors.
Smutz, King Score.
The sixth Nebraska first place
came in the 60 yard high hurdles.
Bill Smutz left his marks as the
gun was going off and captured
a lead on the first hurdle which
he did not relinquish. Ralph King,
his team mate, was gaining ground
as the finish line was crossed.
Dale Steffey of the invaders
took home top honors in the high
Jump with his lead of 5-9, two
inches better than the runners-up.
Don O'Hara, Tiger distance jump
er, uncorked a 21-6 4 effort to top
his competitors.
Tigers Win Relay.
In the half mile and two mile,
Ray Rayl and Keith French
topped the fields, respectively, to
add 10 points between them for
the Missouri cause. Joe Shy took
the 60 yard low timber-topping
race and the Tiger relay team
took the final first place with
nothing depending on the outcome
of the last race.

Airtight KU Defense Puts
Clamps on Cold Huskers
LAWRENCE, Kansas, Feb. 14.
Any hopes that Nebraska might
have entertained of dropping the
vaunted Kansas Jayhawks from
their position in the Big Six stand
ings, were dashed completely as
the Kansas team rolled to a 58-30
victory over the invading quint
here tonight
The Huskers were as cold as a
herring in a fish market on a cool
day. Their first half barrage on
the basket showed but one field
goal when the half time gun
sounded. As it was the Jays were
out in front 29-8 when the two left
the floor.
Come to Life Just a Little.
It was in the second half that
the Huskers came to life but it
was merely a feeble attempt of a
drowning quint trying to graps
any available straw to save them
selves. They did however hit for 22
points in the last canto but their
opponents repeated their first half
scoring tc roll up an identical 29
points for the 58 final total.
Miller Clicks.
Ralph Miller, senior Kansas for
ward, was again the main cog in
the Jayhawk machine as he has
been in the majority of this sea
son's contests. His 24 points were
high for the Kaw outfit besides
he turned in a defensive game of
note to get the vote as the out
standing player on the floor.
Sid Held, Nebraska's only hope
for the all-conference team, could
not be denied. His basket-sniping
was not up to par since he was
limited to four field goals thru
out His accuracy from the free
throw line added eight more to
give him runner-up honors with 16
points.
Nebraska stays on the road due
to enter the Oklahoma court on
Monday night.
