'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.

Ed W cir Faints
. . . '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.
