With defending champions in every running event, and not a one sure of retaining his crown, the 1942 Big Six indoor track and field meet Saturday in Kansas City's municipal auditorium looms as a thriller.

Winner of both the high and low hurdle races last year, Smutz has found the com petition at a new high this season. Three times this year Smutz has been beaten. Joe Shy, Missouri low hurdler, was the firts to take Smutz' meas ure. Then came Ed Darden, Kan sas State ace, to whip the Husker in both the gih and low hurdles four days later. Littler May Be Slower. The most colorful figure in re cent Big Six track annals, "Red" Littler of Nebraska, may be sen A ft ft O w A O IV et us bo a comfort to you in your youth Let us make jour neck the most comfortable on the campus in other words let u fit you out with an Arrow Hull Shirt. It has a super-com-fortahlo low neckband collar, sloped to the elope of your neck . i . and it won't ever shrink out of fit, because it it Sanforized labeled! Made of fine broadcloth, cut with the "Mitoga" figure fit, Hull is a fine shirt for classes or dates. And how about some new Arrow Ties? ously handicapped Saturday by a muscle sprain. Littler, who has won the 440 the past two years and the 60 yard dash in 1940 as well, has been held out of compe tition in the Huskers' last two dual meets in an effort to have him in shape for the big meet. Oklahomas great middle dis tance runner, Bill Lyda, appears as likely as any of the defending champions to repeat. Lyda showed he was in great form last Satur day at Lincoln by winning the 440 yard dash, the 880 yard run ana taking second in the 60 yard dash. His time of 1:58.3 in the 880 waj a new track record. Ginn Favored in Mile. Bespectacled little Bobby Ginn of Nebraska will do the honors in the mile. As Ginn already knows, he is going to have to do some running to keep Al Rues of Kansas State from taking the mile title. In the Husker-Wildcat dual njfct, Rues pushed Ginn to a mark of 4:18.4. The two mile run will put Dick Smithers of Oklahoma up against a tough field of challengers. One will be Rues and aonther may be Ginn, who likely will pass up the half mile, which he ran last year, to compete in the lon!re race. Hunt Will Ascend. In the four field events, a de fending champion will appear in only one, the pole vault. But that vaulter, Harold Hunt of Nebras ka, may be the outstanding in dividual in the meet. Fourteen feet will be Hunt's goal, a mark to which he has climbed outdoors. In the army air corps now is Wayne Blue, winner of the shot- put last year, while the 1941 cham pion in the high jump and broad jump, Bob Stoland of Kansas, is working in a defense plant at Lake City, Mo. Stoland graduated last June. Onlv four women have been graduated from the University of Washington's college of engineer Ing in the last five years. In its 58-vear historv the Uni versity of Texas has awarded 33,130 degrees, 5,176 of which were for graduate work.

Lewandowski's cagers will try to bow out of the 1942 basketball campaign with a victory over the doormat Missouri Tigers Saturday night when the two quintets meet at Columbia. Six senior Husker insigna wear ers, Sid Held, H. Goetz, Leslie Liv ingston, Charles Vacanti, Lyle King, and John Hay will end their collegiate hardwood career in the conference finale Saturday night. Win Assures Fourth. A win over the lowly Tigers would give the Huskers at least a tie for fourth place while a set; back at Columbia would put the Scarlet and Cream in fifth place, just out of the cellar. The Missouri cagemen will be battling to get out of their lowly spot but the shooting combination of Sid Held and Kenny Elson will give the Cornhuskers a slight ad vantage over the Tigers. Max Young, star guard for Nebraska, may get the nod from Coach Lew andowski to cover the Missouri big gun Don Harvey, who has been hitting the strings for an average of ten points a game. Huskers Won First. In their first meeting the Ne braska basketeers humbled the Tigers by a 51 to 45 count, but since that early date the Tigers have brushed up on their ragged passing and shooting and will be near top shape for the battle Sat urday night. Missouri has won encounters over Iowa State and its cellar partner Kansas State.
