Sidelights from the U.N.-C0I0-
rado track meet:
Starter Ed Higginbotham could
scarcely believe his eyes as the
entrants in the 120 yard high
hurdles lined up for the start. One
of the Colorado entrants looked
down the track from behind his
starting blocks, pulled off his
sweat suit and discovered that he
had no running trunks beneath
his sweat pants.
He immediately pulled on his
sweat suit and dispatched his
teammate,' who was also entered in
the event, to obtain the necessary
apparel. The seeker returned suc
cessfully and the race went on as
scheduled. Incidentally, the Ne
braska hurdlers, Norval Barker
and Ralph King:, finished one-two
in the event.
The Colorado broad jumper,
Jack McEwen, who won the first
event with a leap of 22 feet 4 in.,
was competing in his second meet
of the season. He joined the squad
two weeks ago, won first place in
the Colorado Relays last Saturday
and then added first place in Wed
nesday's dual meet to maintain
an all-victorious record.

Scarlet Track
Squad To Face
Tigers May 4
The Nebraska track and field
team will make its last appear
ance of the season before the Big
Six championships when the
Scarlet-clad athletes face the Uni
versity of Missouri in a dual meet
at Columbia Saturday.
Grote Remains Behind.
v Coach Ed Weir will probably
send the Huskers into action in
the same events in hich they
competed in Wednesday's dual
meet with Colorado, but will leave
Herb Grote and Don Hansen at
home.
Grote is nursing a pulled arm
muscle which hampered his jave
lin tossing Wednesday when he
was forced to take third place
with a toss of 163 feet, and Han
sen is kept idle by scholastic du
ties. Another pole vault battle Is in
prospect, for the Titers boast Dick
Higfffins, who was second in the
Big: Six indoor meet, against Ne
braska's Dick Miller who took the
championship In the indoor meet
The Tigers have a strong squad
of sprinters, including Bob Crow
son, who has been near the front
in every dash he has entered this
year; plus high jumper L. D.
Howe who has a leap of 6 feet 5
inches to his credit. This jump
came last year when he was com
peting as a member of the Colum
bia Midshipmen.
Once again Nebraska will rely
on strength in the 880, mile and
two mile, and Weir has declared
that he may give Blaine "Okie"
Young a shot at the mile distance
Saturday.

the meet, His son, Bill Weir, ran
the anchor leg on the blue-shirted
half mile relay team which won
the race by a narrow margin. The
midget speedster showed plenty of
endurance, and amazed the spec
tators by pulling up after 220 yard
sprints with no ill effects.
Nebraska's mentor had more ex
citement during the afternoon, for
an errant javelin scattered the
crowd near the pole vault pit, and
came to earth not more than an
arm's length from where Weir had
been standing.
