Thurs'dcty, May 16, 1946 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 7 n-l OJSIKEID By George Miller The 17th annual Big Six track and field championships to be held in Lincoln Saturday will un doubtedly be the last one-day af fair for loop athletes. Due to in terference with final exams at some schools the meet directors were forced to crowd all of the activity into one day not quite an ideal situation since prelimi naries will be held in all events except the mile, two mile, mile relay, high jump and pole vault. This situation will serve to fur ther protect all Big Six records, most of which are beyond danger without any assistance from the program of events. William New block's high jump mark of 6 feet 97s inches, established by the Ok lahoma athlete in 1933, is the only record which has been eclipsed by conference performers who will appear Saturday. High jumpers Tom Scofield of Kansas, Dwayne Feekin of Iowa State and L. D. Howe of Missouri have turned in better heights in competition, but may not be able to erase record Saturday. r.pnrcf Vppkner. former ath letic director at Iowa State, has been named honorary referee for the meet, while Lee webo, neaa of the Nebraska high school ac tivity association will handle the actual refereeing duties. Other officials include Ed Hig ginbotham as starter, and Chili Armstrong as clerk of the course and official scorer. Timers are Lou Means, head of the student physical welfare department, Pop Klein, Rev. D. B. O'Connor, Bill Nicholas and H. V. Garrett. Nebraska has won the team championship nine times during the 17 years that the Big Six has recognized an outdoor track cham pion. Kansas is the only other conference member that has more than two championships, the Jay hawks winning in 1930, '31 and '34. Just about the only certainty concerning Saturday's meet is the fact that Iowa State will be un able to retain the crown which they have held for the past two years. Navy transfers have weak ened the Cyclone squad and Coach George Bretnall's thinclads will be forced to uncork some surprise performers if they are to make it three wins in a row. Pre-meet forecasting points to Kansas as the probable winner, but Coach Ed Weir's University of Nebraska squad will have plen ty to say about the final outcome of the meet. Altho the Huskers lack balance, being extremely po tent in the middle distance and distance events and weak in jumps and sprints, a dog-eat-dog struggle between other teams may allow the Scarlet team to climb back onto the throne they last held in 1942. The list of previous champions: 1920 Nebraska 1930 Kansas 19:il Kansas 19I12 Nebraska 19:13 Nebraska 1934 Kansas l'.l3r Oklahoma 1936 Nebraska- 1937 Nebraska 1938 Missouri 1939 Nebraska 1940 Nebraska 1941 Nebraska 1942 Nebraska 1943 Missouri 1944 Iowa State 1945 Iowa State An examination of marks turned in by loop athletes this spring discloses that the Big Six is subpar in all weight events ex cept the javelin throw. Shot put and discus men have been unable to approach performances of pre war days and any prediction as to the outcome of these weight events Saturday is nothing more than a guess. Nebraska's Ned Nutzman has a shot put toss of 47 feet 5 inches to his credit. He registered this mark during the indoor champion ships at Kansas City, however, since then he has been unable to come near this effort. Individual performances may not be outstanding, but fans will stay to the end for the team race promises to be one of the closest in recent years. llPhiGams Take IM Golf Title; GreenivoodLow Independent contestants made a clean sweep of both team and in dividual laurels in the intramural spring golf tourney held at the Pioneer golf course Sunday. Scott Greenwood turned in an eighteen hole score of 75 for the day's best card. Fiji Kenny Adams' 77 earned him the runner-up slot. The team championship, deter mined by the aggregate scores of four golfers, also went to the in dependents. The best scores from their 12 man group totaled 328, ten points lower than the second place Phi Gamma Delta team. The Phi Gams were awarded first place Jack Best pjoints as the top fra ternity team.
