Ed Daren, one of the loop leading hurdlers, is shown above clear
in: one of the high timber barriers in anticipation of the Kansas
State-Nebraska track meet on the indoor track tonight at 7 30. In
the Aggies first meet of the season, Dardcn was clocked in the highs
at 7.9 seconds and in the lows in 7.2 seconds. He won both of them.
He is expected to give Iluskers lialph King and Bill Smutz plenty

LAWBENCE, Kas. "Rambling
Ralph" Miller, the race horse of
the court, is running rampant once
again. On the sidelines last year
to allow an injured knee to
M lengthen, the University of Kan
sas basketball nee came back this
Reason rarin' to go.
g The year's layoff from basket
ball and a hard season of foot
ball resulted in Miller's getting
IT to a slow start this winter,
but he is moving in high gear now.
Several weeks ago the K. IT.
i:. dividual scoring record of 27
points fell before Miller, as he
zoomed 3o points thru the net
against Wichita U. Howard Engle
tuan had set the old mark in 1 !.'!.
Chanute Had Him.
When Ralph graduated from
1ianute high school, he was
touted as one of the two greatest
Kansas high school basketball
players of all time. Only the great
"Red' IVRarnard! of lola was ac
corded a place on the same level
with Miller.
For three years of high .xhool
Competition, he had an average of
If. 7 points a game to show. A good

Promise Aplenty.
Consequently great things were
expect'-d of him when he chose to
enroll at the University of Kansas,
the home of nationally prominent
basketball teams, year alter year. J
But a severe knee injury, incur- I
red in the fifth football game of I
the season his sophomore year, !
changed things for Miller com
pletely. His first two years on the
varsity basketball team found him
slowed down greatly by the neces
sity of his knee always being
tightly bound.
Boosted Average.
Despite that handicap, he
managed to average 0.7a points a
game as a sophomore. Because of
i his knee, his playing time that
year amounted to an average of
only 23 minits a game.
In his junior year, Ralph got
more used to being hobbled and
boosted his average that season
to 9.7 points a game. In Big Six
games his average was 11.6. good
enough for second place in the
scoring race.
Now, following two operations
on his knee and a year on the side
lines, the joint is sound and as a

Corroolion, Ploaso!
A mistake has been made
and everyone and his brother
has told us about it! We wish
to clear it up. The cut of Red
Littler yesterday was the cause
of it all. The wrong cut was
procured and instead of one
showing him breaking the tape
in the CO yard dash, the cut
showed him 6.2 seconds earlier
before he started. The explana
tion was in fault. We're sorry.
Rounding
the Curves
An important part of any track
team is the part played by the
weight men. As the opening of
the 1942 indoor season noars, coach
Ed Weir is devoting much time
to such men. The reason, these
men are often the balance of power
in a closely contested meet.
Leading- these field performers
for the Nebraska squad, is N.C.
HAROLD HUNT
Lim'tun Journftl.
A. A. pole vault champion Harold
I Hunt. Undefeated in Big Six com
I petition. Bunt holds such titles as
! the Drake Relays, and the Illinois
Relays championships.
To top his performances he has
a 14-2 vault to his credit, made
last year in the National Cham
pionships. Aiding Hunt is Howard
Debus, state prep record holder.
In practice Debus has been push
ing close to 13 feet, and can be
counted on for valuable points.
In the shot put, where the strong
boys take over, Nebraska has ma
terial aplenty. Vic Schleich, Ed
Wibbels, Kirwin Eisenhart and
Howard Debus are the quartet who
would make any coach sit up and
take notice.
Schleich is the defending Big
Six outdoor champ and along with
Wibbels is pushing 50 feet, rather
hard. Debus and Eisenhart arc
sophomores and have shown great
promise. They are doing around
46 feet.
In rounding- out the field events
there is the high jump and the
broad jump. These are the Corn
huskcrs' weakest events. Ed Weir
is not sure which men will get the
call in these events, hut Don Mor
ris, Gene Littler and Bill Smutz
will probably handle the broad
jumping assignment with Ralph
King doing the high jumping
chores.
