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.

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.
