Relay Team Win
Paces Husker
Thinclad Victory
Botts' Nebraska track fans can
thank a hastily fashioned relay
team, composed of Bill Moore
house, Harvey Stroud, Fritz Ware
and Dean Kratz, for the Huskers'
54 to 49 ,4 win over Coach Tom
Botts' Missouri squad Saturday
night on the UN indoor oval.
The Husker thinclads held a
slim 1 3 point advantage going into
the final event, the relay, and
the Scarlet quartet delivered in
fine style, setting a new meet rec
ord for the duel competition, as
they turned in a 3:34.5 time to
better the old mark of 3:34.8
which was established in 1930 by
a Missouri team.
Kratz Anchors Win.
Dean Kratz blazed to a :51.5
anchor lap to give the Nebraska
runners a 20 yard margin and
the meet. Fritz Ware turned in
a :53.6 performance for his 440
leg, Bill Moorehouso led off with
a :54 pace, and Harvey Stroud
took the second quarter mile in
the time of :54.9.
In addition to leading the relay
team to victory, Kratz took top
honors in the 440 yard dash and
the 880 yard run. The Sidney
flier had a :52.3 time in the quar
ter mile and a 2:04.3 clocking in
the half miie.
Miller Hits Peak.
Dick Miller, Fan-bury pole
vaulter, and present Big Six king,
soared to the best height of his
career when he topped the bar at
13 feet 6 inches to take first place
in the vault. Miller attempted to
clear 13 feet 10 inches, and if
he had succeeded, it would have
been a new meet lecord, but he
was forced to cease competition
for the evening when he suffered
a slight ankle strain.
Unexpected Tiger strength in
the hurdles turned the meet into
a nip and tuck affair, for letter
man Bob Chase took both hurdle
events away from defending: Big
Six championship Norval Barker,
winning the high sticks in :07.8,
and taking the low barrier com
petition in :07.2.
The Nebraska two mile duo of
Wayne Roads and Stan Martin
grabbed first and second places
in the long grind ir the time of
10:38.1. Roads overcame ttie lead
of Slagle of Missouri, but was
scarcely moving at the finish,
having just enough stamina left
to outlast the fast-finishing Mar
tin. Martin came from far back
to take second, and Slagle dropped
from the race with two laps left
to go, after setting the pace for
the first mile.
Shot Put Winners.
Don Hansen and Ned Nutzman
provided a pleasant surprise in
the shot put, with heaves of 44
feet 2 inches and 44 feet Va
inches respectively for top hon
ors. The Nehawka strong boys
hoisted the shot to their best
marks (or the season.
Fleet-footed Bob Crowson took
the 60 yard dash and broad jump,

Nubbins Drop
39-37 Battle
To N. Wesleyan
Nebraska's B squad dropped a
heartbreaking 37-39 overtime con
test to Nebraska Wesleyan Fri
day night at the N. U. coliseum
in a prelim to the Nebraska-Iowa
State tilt, as Kaz Tado connected
on a shot from the foul circle
to give the Plainsmen the vic
tory, Whitehead Shines.
Milon (Bus) Whitehead, lanky
center of the Husker Nubbins,
displayed fine form under both
baskets while scoring nine points
to lead the Husker cause. Brown
field of Wesleyan grabbed the
evening's scoring honors with 13
tallies.
Wesleyan got off to an early
lead but had only a 22-19 ad
vantage at the half.
The abbreviated second half
was fast and furious with the
Nubbins matching Wesleyan
basket for basket. With two min
utes left, the score read 35-31
with Wesleyan still leading, when
Phillips sank a one-hander. Tada
and Dean matched buckets and
Sloan got a basket as the gun
sounded to send the game into
an overtime.

Joe Brown Stars
Nebraska dropped from a third
place tie and lost all mathematical
chances of winning the Big Six
race when they dropped a 57-43
decision to a sharp-shooting band
of Iowa State cagers Friday night
at the coliseum in a conference
battle.
The Huskers trailed 34 to 11
at the end of the first half, but
roared back in the second half to
battle the visitors on even terms.
Joe Brown, Gayle Lebsack and
Don Barry sparked the Nebraska
spurt, as the Scarlet cagers out
scored the Iowans 32 to 23 in the
last half.
Coach Louie Menze's crew was
torrid during the opening minutes
and built up a lead that they were
able to protect during the Husk
ers' second half spurt. With Ron
Norman and Bob Peterson drop
ping in long shots with uncanny
regularity, the Nebraskans were a
thoroughly demoralized crew
when they left the lloor at half
time. Brown Leads Huskers.
Then Brown, who scored 14
points, all in the second half,
starting hitting, and the Nebraska
defense stiffened to halt the Cy
clone scoring drive, as Pop
Klein's men moved slowly back
into contention.
At one time the Huskers nar
rowed the gap to 47-37. but the
smooth-passing Cyclones scored
twice to maintain their lead.
