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.

definite threat for Big Six honors
as he swept over the tall timbers
in :07.6. the best time of his
career. 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. Summary:

Nebraska's one point halftime
lead failed to stand up under a
furious Missouri attack during the
second half and the Huskers lost
their seventh Big Six contest of
the season to the Tigers by a score
of 60 to 49, Saturday night at
the Coliseum.
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. Fouls were numerous
during the rough contest and the
Tigers capitalized on their chances

making a total of 20 of 24 at
tempts. 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.
