Big Six basketball champion
will be decided this weekend, but
everything hinges on one word
if.
As the standings are now, Kan
sas leads the conference with only
one loss with Oklahoma trailing
with two. But Coach Thog Allen's
Kansans have three games re
maining which they must win to
capture the conference title. The
most formidable of these foes is
the Sooner quintet, the others be
ing Kansas State and Missouri.
Sooners Must Win.
If Oklahoma wins their game
With the Jayhawks, they will
cinch a tie for top honors. Should
Kansas fail against their other op
ponents, they would finish second
to the Sooners.
In third place with four losses,
is Iowa State. The Cyclones clash
Friday with Kansas State for
their sign off game of the season.
The Cornhusker cagers occupy
fourth place in the race with tneir
remaining game to be played

Defending Champs Back
in Track Running Events
As Big Six Teams Meet
LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 25.
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.

Heaviest load of the evening will
rest on Nebraska's hurdling star,
Bill Smutz. 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.

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.

Six Huskers End Season

Iowa Matmen

Title in Grasp
... Almost
AMES, la, Reb. 25 Iowa State
college makes its bid to repeat
for the Big Six wrestling title
when it meets Kansas State this
weekend.
The winner of the meet at Man
hattan will be -the 1942 confer
ence champion under the new
championship system. Dual meet
percentages are to decide the title.
Iowa State handed Nebraska a
28 to 5 defeat at Ames and the
Wildcats are certain to do as well
against the Nebraskans when they
meet March 7. That insures each
team one victory with this week's
contest to decide the championship.
Wildcats Have a Past.
The Wildcats won eight of their
first ten meets, losing only to
Franklin Marshall and Michigan
State. Victories were recorded
over Lehigh, Michigan, Vanderbilt,
Indiana, Maryvule, Navy and Ap
palachian. Iowa State has not been so im
pressive, losing two and winning
two. The Cyclones defeated Uni
versity of Dubuque and Nebraska,
but lost close decisions to Univer
sity of Minnesota and Iowa State
Teacers college.
The Cyclones close the dual
meet season Saturday at Still
water where they meet Oklahoma
A. & M. national intercollegiate
champion.

. . Last Cage Came
With three wins against six
losses Coach A. J. 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.
Probable starting line-up:
Nebraska Missouri
