Material in this column today was written by Henry Fish
hack, our right-hand man and a Californian to boot. Take 'er
away, Henry Sports Ed.
You may have one of those plain, unadorned calenders
which simply lists May 8th, as just another -day but we have
one on our desk which shows that that's the date of the Big
Six conference spike carnival, only big spring athletic event
n Husker premises.
You too may be one of the majority who rightly casteth
all to Missouri, but don't in the process overlook the individual
duels of the meet. Chief of among duels figures in the shotput
where Cornhusker Vic Schleich collides with Elmer Aussieker,
massive 1942 indoor and outdoor Big Six champ in the final
match of three year epic rivalry.
Vic and the Missourian have met in the shotput ring on
twelve separate occasions with Aussieker presently in front
with seven wins. Big Elmer harbored six-three advantage at
the outset of the '42 campaign which Schleich cut down with
victories in the Husker dual meet and Big Six indoor champion
ships. Both tossers bettered 50 ft, Schleich hitting 50 feet
consistently off the boards, and Aussieker tossing a 50 foot
Drake win foris present advantage, lowan Dick Bliss is
scheduled to give Schleich plenty-of warmup competition in
Ames this weekend.
Sports along the Big Six front, currently dominated by
Missouri, figure to remain at Tiger stronghold, if spring signs
along the 1943 athletic trail remain stationary.
Though many have regarded the optimism of colorful Tiger
head, Don Faurot, as unsound, investigation reveals that the
Columbia institution boasts a slick wartime set up, if future
orders don't cut too deep, the Tigers who hold Big Six prestige
high against service clubs next fall.
Reason: Tiger athletes are enrolled under the Naval Re
serve V-12 program which calls for additional college training.
Accordingly, Faurot was greeted by over 50 footballers this
spring, most of whom plan to return with a smattering of
navy men eligibles from other institutions next autumn.

Brains Pay,
Say Cadets
AMES, Iowa, April 28. It pays
to be smart. That's the feeling
of the 40 top honor men in the
four battalions of the Iowa State

The reason is that these honor
men will be the recipients of
block of reserved seats for the
Drake relays in Des Moines this
weekend. The tickets were pre
sented to the navy school by retail
merchants association of Des
Moines.

quantity, you know."

After Drake
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April
28. "It was just what we ex
pected," Track Coach Jim Kelly
said last night of his team's show
ing at the Drake relays Friday and
Saturday. Minnesota did not make
a showing at the Des Moines event,
but it did as well as could be
expected.
Illness and cold weather have
handicapped the squad all spring
and it was surprising the Gophers
were able to salvage what they
did.
Minnesota managed to place in
both relays it entered, running sec
ond in the four mile event and
third in the sprint medley. Gor
dien got the only other Gopher
points with a second in the discus
throw. Illinois completely domi
nated the meet with four first
places in the relays.
Miifhesota lost some sure points
when dashman Dick Kelley had to
be left at home with the flu. Ray
Tharp would have had a good
chance to cop some points in his
event.
Coach Kelley is now pointing for
the meet this weekend. Indiana,
Purdue, Northwestern, Wisconsin
and Minnesota travel to Chicago
then for a big five team meet
If he gets a break in the weather
and his men improve, Kelley ex
pects to place at least in the upper
half of the meet. Wisconsin will
be a strong contender for top
honors.
