Trip Sooner
Track Team
BY HOMER SMITH
The Nebraska University track
team's chances of finishing near
the top in the Big Seven indoor
championship meet next Satur
day were brightened by an im
pressive 66 ', -37 victory over
Oklahoma on the Husker track
last night.
The N.U. boys swept the 440
yard dash and the 60-yard high
hurdles. In the quarter it was
I x'al Hurlbort, Fritz Ware, and
Don Vollertsen finishing in that
order; and in the hi hs Willis
.Tones, Bob Berkshire, and Ray
Miigsamen placed one, two, Ihree.
LEONARD KEIIE, flashy Hus
ker pole vaulter, cleared 13 feet.
7 inches in a tie for first with
Sooner Bill Carroll. This was the
closest Kehl has ever come to
the rafters ol the indoor track.
Bobby Grimm's mile record of
4:30.2 tell as Bill Jacobs, son of
the Sooner coach, went the seven
laps in 4:27.2. With a time of
:07 Hobo Gilstrap, versatile thin
cl.id from the panhandle, tied
Ihe low hurdle mark set by Bill
Smutz in 1941.
BIG DICK PIDERIT of Ne
braska appeared to bo hitting his
did shot putting form as he
heaved the iron ball 49 leet. v2
inch to win easily. Charlie Too
good, of Husker football fame,
made a successful indoor debut
by copping third with an im
prosMve 46 foot, 3 inch put.
In the two mile run Don Mor
rison, Scarlet and Cream track
slcr. turned in the best time of
his indoor career. The slim dis
tance man finished strong with a
10:07.9 clocking.
FRITZ WARE. Bill Moorhouse.
Bill Hein, and Don Vollertsen
combined to give the Huskers the
lmal event as they ran away
from Oklahoma in the mile relay.
The quartet went the route in a
good 3:31.9 timing.
Nebraska was without the
services of Harry Meginnis, crack
sprinter, and Esref Aydin, the
"Tireless Turk," who usually fin
ishes in the money in the two
mile run. Meginnis has a stom
ach ailment and the Turk is
bothered by a head cold.
