Tuesday, March 2, 1943 MiLT NEflRASKAN LewartdowskVs Lads Finished dwhASL H 1 jv By Norris Anderson V : 'I " ' v-1 - , u 'Might Have Been . . 'Tis said by eminont scluilastic bniins or sports writers I'iroiijriiout this universe that "might, have been" is a term. Tiiiylitier than typewriter and versatile enough for application even to the reeent llig Six indoor track and field carnival. A glance at the scoreboard atop the east bleachers in the biff Kansas City auditorium at 10:15 Saturday eve certified the following-: Missouri 56 1112, Nebraska 32 712, Iowa State 19 14 Kansas State 14 14, Oklahoma 5, Kansas 4. Missouri possessed a new indoor league scoring- record Nebraska was hopelessly outclassed. .Here's where the term "might have been" enters the scheme of things and all for the absence of three eligible Cornhuskers Bobby Ginn, Bill Con nor and Ralph King-. Had Kd Weir had little liobhy (iinn. drafted last summer, in the mile and two-mile races, Nebraska would have easily garnered ten points in the two events inslcad of being shut out. Connor, another junior' draftee, would have ran one-two will) Al I'rown in both 440 and ,n(). King, ineligible scliolastically. would be a cinch winner in the high hurdles and probably sec ond behind Shy in the lows. Thus, Nebraska would possess 25 more points than they could muster without King-, Connor and Ginn. Final count, in cluding points Missouri would lose in hurdles and two-mile bue to Husker victories, would then read : Nebraska 57, Misouri 50. Might have been ..." Athletic dons of the loop circuit huddled amidst the clamor of the cinder derby to decide one, decisive question: Will the conference continue competitive athletics? Two hours following the discussion, involving an athletic director and faculty representative from each school, this type written statement was handed the press, to wit: "The Big Six conference will be continued and any student carying 12 hours of work or any student assigned to a member school for train ing by the armed forces of the United States will be eligible for competition." Two or three grains of salt must be taken with the press statement. First, there will be no round robin conference schedules as in the past. Each institution must schedule only the games war-time conditions will warrant. Second, evidently "pro" athletes can compele. There is nothing in the ruling which forbids pro gridmen etc. A pro assigned here from the armed forces is perfectly eligible to compete. We're fervently hoping that Sam Francis. TJoyd Cardwell, Vike Francis, Fred' Shircy, and all of those other lluskers. who matriculated in pro ball following their collegiate careers, re turn. We don't eare if they're buck privates or generals. In the service of their country. 37 University of Wisconsin alumni hiue made the supreme sacrifice of their lives and four have re ceived distinguished military awards.

'Zik' Says Activity in the Coliseum Mon day with the track season termi nated and Adolph Lewandowski's cage crew playing at Oklahoma. Talk among the smattering of athletes, performing on the hand ball court and elsewhere, mostly concerned the recent Big Six cin der derby. 'I was standing close by when Ed Weir fainted," said Al Zik mund. "He was standing there perfectly normal one moment, then crumpled on the ground the next. Maybe Ed fainted when Vic got the shot over 50 feet." Schleich's toss of 50-5 estab lished a new indoor record and gave the Husker tosser the glory of tanking as top indoor shot tos ser in league history, surpassing uieh talent as Sam Francis of Ne braska and Elmer Hackney of K-State. Contrary to press reports, How ard Debus ranked third in the shot. In the summary, he was not even listed. Debus' 13-2 vault leap was one of the bright marks of the evening. Sooner Jacobs Annexes Honor NORMAN, Okla., March 2. John Jacobs, University of Okla homa track coach for 21 years, will bo honorary referee of the 1943 Texas relays at Austin, April 3. Noted for developing brilliant specialists off his small track squads, Jacobs last year came up with a sprint medley relay quar tet that broke the world's record at the Drake relays with Bill Lyda, the brawny national col legiate half-mile champion, thrill ing with a 1:49.7 anchor 880.
