With the spring sports season
rearing a close, the Nebraska ath
letic plant will be the scene of
two championship track meets in
the near future. This weekend the
Nebraska high school track and
field performers will take over
the Memorial stadium cinders for
their annual championships in
four classes.
Next week, on May 18 and pos
sibly May 17. the Big Six outdoor
championships will get under
way. Present plans call for pre
liminaries Saturday morning, but
the schedule may be altered to al
low prelims on ." 'riday afternoon.
The high jump, pole vault, mile,
two mile and the mile relay are
the only events in which no pre
liminary competition will be held.
Lincoln will also be the scene
of the Big Six golf champion
ships in both team and individual
play on the same days that the
track and field athletes perform.
Golf is the only other sport in
which the conference will of
ficially recognize a champion, for
tennis and baseball rivalry "have
been on an informal basis even
though all: of the loop .members
have fielded teams.
In conjunction witH the Big
Six championships the conference
faculty representatives, athletic
directors, fddlball coaches, busi
ness managers, basketball coaches,
track coaches and coaches in
other sports will hold meetings
Thursday, May 16 at the Corn
husker hotel. The delegates will
reconvene on Friday morning for
a continuation of the Thursday
sessions.
Scarlet baseball and tennis
teams will take part in the an
nual Iowa State Veishea program
this weekend when they journey
to Ames for games with the Cy
clones in these sports. Several
thousand visitors are expected to
throng to the IS campus for the
celebration, an all-college open
house.
The Ilusker baseballers did the
Cyclones a good turn when Coach
Frank Smagacz's crew hung a
7-5 defeat on the Kansas Jay
hawks Monday afternoon. The
Kansas loss enabled the Iowa
State club to hold onto second
place in unofficial conference
standings, behind the Oklahoma
Sooners who have concluded com
petition. It seems that the Nebraska
baseball team cannot be happy
with a wori-lost average of .500.
As soon as they achieve any
mark above the 50-50 standard the
Huskers seemingly drop to p.'eces.
Nebraska won two games l.-om
Colorado to open the season, tlen
lost a pair to Minnesota hv rii-
cisive margins. After battling th
rest of April to get back to the
right side of the ledger Coach
Frank Smagacz's team had a
chance to move into the higher
percentage bracket, but instead,
absorbed an 18-3 shellacking from
the Kansas JayhawkS.
Fans who saw the KU game got
quite a laugh because of the antics
of Irv Ilayden, roly-poly Jayhawk
player who played first base Mon
day and appeared in right field
Tuesday. However, Ilayden
showed whry he was in antinn
for Monday he smashed a triple
wnicn would have been a home
run for anyone a bit fleeter on
the base paths, and Tuesday he
clubbed four hits in five times
at bat. Included in his May 7
showing was another triple and
a home run.
The only encouragement Husker
followers could derive from Tues
day's game was the showing of
Fritz Hedgwood who got two bin
gles in three times at bat. A
former Omaha North athlete,
Hedgwood had not been in the
starting lineup until ineligibility
removed outfielder Frank Brown
from the squad and forced Coach
Smagacz to juggle his starters.
Big Six Meet
Forces Change
In IM Carnival
Because of the Big Six con
ference championships the dates
for the intramural track and field
relay carnival have been changed
from May 14 and 16 to May 14
and 15, Intramural Director Lou
Means announced today.
The same time schedule for
events will be followed, the only
difference in the setup being that
the program originally slated to
be held on Thursday will be run
off on Wednesday. Competition
both afternoons will start at 5:10.
Competitors in the high jump,
Y broad jump and pole vault will be
allowed to wear spikes, but all
other athletes must wear tennis
shoes. Winners in each event will
be acclaimed as the . university
record-holders, for there are no
records in existence at the present
time. To improve the records, all
winners will be aJlnwi
spikes for a second trial in the
event in which they excel.
The deadline for all entries is
May 13. A team trophy will be
awarded to the first place team,
and a medal goes to the individual
high scorer. Every first place
winner will receive a certificate
of achievement.
No man may enter more than
four events, but each organiza
tion must have at least five com
petitors to qualify for participa
tion points.
