By Ralph Stewart.
Big Six conference cinder wars
begin at 3:00 p. m. today. With
the fling of a javelin and the shot
of the starter's gun sending the
first 440-yard dash heat off, the
19th annual Big Six outdoor track
and field championships will be
underway.
A busy program is on the docket
for the opening session of the out
door carnival, with the revival of
the 880-yard relay featuring the
opening day's card.
Cinder coach Ed Weir will send
a field of thirty-five thinclads into
the conference battle in an effort
to wrest the crown from Kansas
University. But Missouri has also
put in its bid to dethrone the Jay
hawks. The Tiger's balanced squad
reigns in the favorites' role.
Pin Hopes On Ginn.
Husker hopes are being pinned
to the shoulders of little Bobby
Ginn. The Madison Mite faces se
rious competition in both the mile
and 880-yard run. Bobby who has
posted a 4:18.6 mile meets Mis
souri's Bob Bosworth who has
been timed in 4:21.1 and Kansas'
giitty miler, Hal Moore, who owns
a 4:22 clocking.
The 880-yard run will be head
lined by defending champion Dick
Killough of Missouri and Nebras
ka's Harold Kopf. These two
staged a thrilling photo finish
race in the Nebraska-Missouri
dual meet. Ginn will be out to
turn back both runners in quest
of a double triumph in his last
Scarlet apeparance.
Discus Mark Threatened.
With a break from the weather
man, the record books may take a
slight shuffling. Mel Sheehan of
Missouri has sailed the disc platter
163 ft. 9'2 in. This toss bests the
present conference mark of 160 ft.
5i4 in. established by Edsel Wib
bels of Nebraska in 1940. Plato is
Sheehan's closest rival in this
event with a heave of 147 ft. 2'i
in.
The high jump pit will be a
place of fierce rivalry. Dwayne
Feekin of Iowa State and Tom
Scofield of Kansas, co-holders of
the conference mark, will have to
soar to new heights if Monte Kin
der's bruised and callous take-off
foot responds to treatment. Bill
Lambeth, Oklahoma freshman, will
also be in the thick of things in
this event.
Hurdle Champions Vie.
Probably the greatest low
hurdles race in the history of the
Big Six meet will be staged
among a field of three returning
outdoor champions and one indoor
leader. But three others boast
times superior to the champions.
Bud Gartiser, Missouri, has the
fastest time over the lows with a
:23.3.
Missouri also offers the fastest
field of high timber toppers. Rob
ert Blakely and returning cham
pion Floyd Gaultney have each
been clocked at :14.7. Both will be
pushed by Ralph King and Bob
Berkshire, Husker hurdling stars.
Grote Tops Field.
Herb Grote, returning javelin
champion, is being counted on by
Weir to post a repeat win in that
event. The stocky spear tosscr,
making his final Husker appear
ance, is the only man who has
beaten 200 feet. Grote's 202 ft.
9 in. is more than seven feet bet
ter than the 195 ft. 2 in. mark
made by his closest rival, Ebel of
Kansas.
Don Cooper will be shooting
for the conference vault mark of
14 ft. 8fe in. owned by Harold Hunt
of Nebraska. With a "right" day
the Scarlet skyscraper might
reach above that heighth. His
best mark is 13 ft. 9'2 in.
The order of events for the first
day is as follows:
3:00 p.m. 440-yard dash.
3:10 p.m. 100-yard dash.
3:20 p.m. Highh urdlcs.
3:30 p.m. 880-yr-rd run.

NORMAN, Okl. With only an
outside chance for the champion
ship, Oklahoma's defending base
ball champions clash with Mis
souri here today and Saturday in
the final baseball games of the
season for Coach Jack Baer's
Sooners.
Even if Oklahoma should win
both games, and that would be
difficult, the Tigers of Coach John
"Hi" Simmons might still take the
championship on percent ags
points since they play more
games and have done better than
Oklahoma against the other teams
in the league.
After the Oklahoma series here,
Missouri still has two games with
Kansas at Columbia. Total base
ball games scheduled by the three

Big Six leaders this year were
Missouri 18. Kansas State 14. Ok
lahoma 12. Big Six rules compel
each school to play at least ten
games.
This is Oklahoma's heaviest
baseball week of the season. The
Sooners have two games with the
Oklahoma Acgies almost parallel
ing those with Missouri. The Ti
gers and Aggies are two of the
strongest collegiate clubs in the
country. With Pitchers Kay
"Lefty" Laeer and Jack Watkins
probably out for the season with
sore arms, Baer's problem in the
four games is to keep fresh hurling
pressure on the enemy.
