gunday, February 23, 1947 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 3 Hi usker Track Team ' Outscores Oklahoma i BY GEORGE MILLER. Nebraska track athletes and fans focused their attention on the Big Six indoor championships scheduled for Kansas City March 1 following the Huskers' well earned 58 to 45V win over the Oklahoma thinclads Saturday afternoon at the UN indoor layout. A more-than-capacity crowd , Jammed into the east stadium arena and overflowed into the infield and outside the track into the stadium lobby to witness an other Husker assault on dual meet and university records. Little Bobby Ginn, a disappoint ing: third in the much-heralded 880 with Kansas State on Wed nesday, redeemed himself In great fashion with a scorching: 1:57.7 In the half mile against the Soon ers. He also racked up a new dual meet standard in the mile run with a 4:30.2 clocking-. Ginn's 880 time wipes out Har old Kopf's short-lived record of 1:58.4, which the Lexington stnder established three days ago, and also erases the dual meet mark of 1:58.5, held by Bill Lyda of OU, Saturday it Kopf who set the pace while Ginn held back. Then in the last lap the Mad fson dynamo turned on the heat and whirled into the home stretch with a wide lead to shatter the existing record. Jim Martin, fast improving Benson freshman, pulled ahead of Kopf to grab second place as the Sooners were . shut out in the event. Kinder Continues. High jumper Monte Kinder continued his deadly work with dual meet records as he hurtled over the bar at 6 feet, 2 inches to overshadow the old mark of 5 feet, IQVi inches, held by Bill weaver of Oklahoma. Weaver was one of the com petitors Saturday, but could do no better than a tie for third with Husker Dick Powers. The Soon- er's freshman leaper, Bill Lam beth, wound up second with a jump of 6 feet. A potent Nebraska mile relay Quartet composed of Don Vollert son, Loyal Hurlbert, Harvey Stroud and Bill Conner easily out distanced the Oklahoma team and in addition put a new relaV mark f 3:29.4 ,into the record books. Nebraska's 1942 team held the previous best with a 3:32.5 com pilation. In the high hurdles, the veteran Ralph King stamped himself as a Nubbins Win In the preliminary contest be fore the UN-Missouri game, the Husker Nubbins throttled the York College "B" team by a top heavy 89 to 30 margin. Thurman Wright led the win ners with 15 points, while Bill Saler had 12 and Bob Allen 10. At the half the Nubbins sported a 52-16 lead. Bulletin BAPTIST FET.I-OWSHir.

King's performance equal led the existing conference in door mark but was one-tenth of a second shy of the dual meet record held by Husker Bill Smutz Hutton &one. Despite the absence of Dick Hutton who deserted the track squad to get married, the Husker showing was encouraging. Al Thompson continued to score points in the 60-yard dash and low hurdles by placing second in each event. Harvey Stroud and Loyal Hurl bert came up with potent finish ing kicks in the 440 race and wined out the early lead held by Landon Westbrook of Okla homa. Stroud edged his t)rd teammate at the finish ' line i in the time of :50.8. i j ; More encouragement came m the shot put. Although Dick Piderit did not win the event, he con tinued to improve his distance. Saturday the former Lincoln high weight man heaved the shot 48 feet, 4 inches, the best mark of his career. Plato Andos of Okla homa won the event with a toss just two and one-Quarter inches better than Piderit's effort. The Husker stratosphere twins, Don Cooper and Dick Miller, copped the first two places in their pet event. Cooper won the pole vault with a height of 13 feet, while Miller dropped out of the running because of a bad back after clearing 12 feet, six inches. Coach John Jacobs Sooner dis tance aces swept the two-mile grind. Clarence Vicklund was a surprise winner in the good time of 10:05.3, as he showed his heels to teammates Lonny Chapman and John Canaris, defending con ference indoor king. Nebraska runners Don Morrison and Bob Tobin were far arrears, Tobin leading Morrison to the tape. With Hutton absent, Oklahoma's defending indoor hurdle champ Jon Sharp won the 60-yard low event by a narrow margin from Husker Al Thompson. The broad jump continued to bring grief to the Scarlet squad The best Dick Powers could man age was a 20-foot, 4-inch leap, good for third place behind Jay Cornelison and Marwin McCon- nell of the OU outfit.

Through most of the first half and the first ten minutes of the second half, the Huskers held close, but two quick buckets by Bob Garwitt from far out and another two-point effort by Thornton Jenkins gave the visi tors a lead they never lost. Uncanny accuracy from the foul line during the second half played a large part fn the Ben gal's success. In the second half Coach Spary Stalcup's crew pitched in 13 foul shots without a miss.

Dan Tippin, Thornton Jenkins and John Rudolph paced the winners with 16, 15 and 14 points respectively. Rodney Cox came back into the game after being cut on the forehead in a first half collision, and took scring hon ors for the Huskers with 14 tal lies. Nebraska held a 28-27 lead at the end of the first half after a see-saw struggle In which both teams started slowly. But In the last half the Missouri reserve strength began to tell and the Scarlet hopes wilted. By virtue of the loss Nebraska ts now all by itself at the bottom of the conference race with two wins and seven losses. The Tigers still have a chance of tying pace setting Oklahoma Sooners, provid ing the Sooners drop both remain ing games while Missouri is scor ing nothing but victories from here on.
