Only in the Jave lin were the Huskers able to place men in first and second spots. To counterbalance that showing, the Columbia invaders swept three places in shot put and discus events. Afior Hnuintr to Missouri and Colorado by top heavy margins on successive weekends, the Ne braska squad looms as capable of producing four or five individual! champions, but lacking the all around strength and balance nec essary for a Joop title. Six places will be awarded in r the conference fight, and the teams able to pile up points in lesser positions will be able to off set a scattering of individual champs. Ineligibility and injury woes may alleviate by conference meet time, but unless unsung por- , formers blossom overnight the NU chances will have to be centered on snaring second place from Kan sas and Oklahoma. Dick Piderit's absence in the weight events is especially aggre vating. The husky Lincolnite was steadily increasing his shot put distance at the close of the indoor season, and with Missouri's Ed Quirk said to be out of the meet because of an ankle injury, Pi derit could give Kansas State's Rolland Prather a fight for first place. Bill Moomey, Fritz Ware, Loyal Hurlbert and Jim Martin will bol ster the Scarlet scoring power, but even with these runners on hand, the Nebraska squad has its work cut out if the Huskers hope to capture the conference crown they lost by such a narrow margin to Kansas University last year. An interesting sidelight of the Husker-Bengal meet last Saturday occurred following - the 440 yard dash. Missouri's Dick Schmidt was declared the winner. Cshmiit wasted no time ap- th officials and asking that the decision be reversed to include both himself and team mate Dick Ault as the winners in n (toad heat. "He slowed up to wait for me at the tape," Schmidt declared, "and it's not right for me to be . ho wirmpr." The Tieer auarter- miler convinced the judges of the finish, and the decision was amended to give both Schmidt and Ault a share of first place.

The first record to fall in the meet was the 440 yard Relay Re cord held by ATO. The old re cord of "48.2 was bettered by more than a second as the DU runners clipped off the distance in "46.8. Not only did the DUs beat the old record but teams from the Field House, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Alpha Mu also finished within the old mark. In the other relay held Monday, the P. E. Club finished strong to cop honors and also post a new record with the time of 4:04.3. The old mark held by the Cornhusker Co-Op was 4:07. Fhil Sprague the anchor man of the winning team was content to run second until the stretch and then with the wind at his back he put on a strong finish and came out 25 yards ahead of his nearest op ponent. The Delta Upsilon was second in the Sprint Medlay, and Phi Delta Theta ranked third. The Broad -Jump was won by Barker of Sigma Nu with a jump of 21.3 feet. This was an other event in which last year's record fell. The old mark be longing to Jim Myers of Phi Gamma Delta was 19:11. Rolland Emmett of Beta Theta Pi came second in the broad jump with Bostwick of the Field House tak ing third place honors. The fourth event of the after noon was the shot put and here Rodney Cox of the Field House broke all marks with a heave of 48' 11." The previous record was held by Dick Schleiger at a dis tance of 46' feet. Behind Cox was Bill Kimball of Sigma Alpha Epsilon who also bettered last year's throw as he tossed the 12 pound weight out 47' 8Ya" a third contender, Jake Pesek of the Field House kept right in stride by beating the old mark with a toss of 46' 5V2." Tomorrow will be the final day for the meet. On the sched ule is the pole vault, discus throw, hurdles and the high jump. The events will start on time and au contestants are urged to come early in order to take proper warm-ups. The first day's events were run off in fine order with low means directing the activity. If Mon day's competition is an exam ple of what is to come today, the meet will be the best ever held by the intramural department. The meet will count in the Jack Best race with fraternity totals being added after the all inde. Dendent contestants are taken out. Monday's Results. 440 yard relay: First, Delta Unsilon: second.
