Better than anyone abroad.
That's Don Cooper, Nebraska pole
vaulter. Cooper's best vault of the
indoor season, 13 feet 9Ts inches
exceeds by one-eighth of an inch
the best mark recorded by any
foreign pole vaulter during 1946.
Cooper's closest rival amons:
foreign competition would have
been Kaas of Norway who soared
13 gcet 9:H inches. Maybe the
former York athlete is an Olympic
threat.
This information comes from
the "Amateur Athlete," monthly
magazine of the Amateur Athletic
Union. Further investigation of
foreign records shows that the
Russians have a shotputter, Lipp,
who did 54 feet 5 316 inches last
season, over a foot better than his
nearest competitor, Lamport of
Germany who tossed the iron
agate 53 feet 3 316 inches.
Claude Retherford, high scor
ing Nebraska forward, was named
to the second team by Kansas
State players in their all-opponent
selections.
. .The Wildcat cagers tabbed Mur
ray Weir of Iowa and Art Tom
linson of Southern Methodist as
first team forwards, Gerald
Tucker as first team center and
Noble Jorffenson of Iowa and Jack
Landon of Oklahoma as guards.
Along with Retherford on the
second five were Charley Black of
Kansas, Dan Pippin of Missouri,
Jim Nebergall of Wichita and Ray
Kuka of Montana State.
Cyclone Dwayne Feeken, whose
high jump record was shattered
by Bill Lambeth of Oklahoma dur
ing the Big Six indoor track meet,
was not able to defend his crown.
The Iowa State star agjrrevated
an old leg muscle while running a
. flight of low hurdles and was
forced to pass up the high jump
competition.
The injury is expected to keep
Keeken on the sidelines until
May.
Clarence Brannum, burly Kan
sas State forward who gave the
Huskers such a hard time in re
bound scrambles, wasted no time
jumping into professional ranks.
Brannum saw action as a mem
ber of the Kansas City M. & O.
Cigarmen in the American league
basketball tournament now in
progress at Denver. The Kansas
City outfit was beaten by San
Diego in Brannum's first start.
Rugged floor play by Nebraska's
basketball guards did not go un
noticed by football coaches this
season. As a result, Bob Cerv, Joe
Brown and Al Kirlin are ex
pected to be among the host of
gridders who turn out for spring
drills Monday.
Brown and Kirlin are ends,
while Cerv will be making his
first fling at the pigskin sport
provided a back injury heals. At
Weston, Neb., where Cerv went
to high school, football was not
included on the athletic program.
More suggestions to replace
Mid-West as the name for what
was formerly the Big Six.
Select Seven, Great Plains, Mid
dlewestern, Trans-Missouri, and
Prairie Conference. Cornhusker
conference might have been ac
ceptable ten years ago when Ne
braska ruled the roost, but times
have changed.
Oklahoma and Oklahoma A&M
provided a pleasing finale for their
intramural basketball programs.
Intramural champs met in a
championship contest at Still
water, while fraternity winners
provided the preliminary game.
Note to Nebraska football fans
of two years hence: The Colorado
athletic setup at Boulder includes
Folsum stadium which has a seat
ing capacity of 30,000.

dent is eligible to submit his or
her choice of the ten best college
players in their section.
Only one of the ten nomina
tions for the West team, the sec
tion for which players of this
area are eligible, may be from
Nebraska; nine must be from
other schools. All ten must be
from one section, East or West.
Black Won Out.
Kansas's great all-around eager,
Charlie Black, saw action in last
year's thriller which was won
by the East 60 to 59 in last min
ute rally. Fans from Nebraska
were among the best in the na
tion in turning in ballots, and re
ceived recognition from the
Herald-Tribune for their votes.
With a topsy-turvy Big Six sea

thusiasts have plenty of men to
nominate on their ballots. Claude

from among athletes with similar
records. The Sports Editors of
the Herald-Tribune are not inter
ested in the fact that a certain
player is the most popular man
on the campus. They want to
know which players you prefer
as judged by the quality of their
playing. Due public recognition
will be given to the sports editors
and the student bodies turning
in the highest mathematical aver
age of the players finally chosen
