Cathor and Taylor Carry
Tech to 4 A' Championship
Paced by Hurdler Blake Cath
ro and sprinter Bob Taylor, Om
aha Tech. scoring 45 points, de
throned Alliance as Class A cham
pions in the state track meet held
at Memorial Stadium Friday and
Saturday. Lincoln trailed with 36.
Cathro took firsts in the high
and low hurdles, and Taylor came
home first in the 220, and sec
ond in the 100. The two teamed
with Aaron Reed and Dale
Schnakel to win the 880 yard re
lay, in 1:32.8.
Cathro raced the lows in 23.3,
Gold Medal time, and by his vic
tory became the first winner of
the Merlin Stackhouse Memorial
Trophy. It will go annually to
the gold medal winner in the 220
lows.
The only record breaking per
formance in the two-day show
came in the pole vault. Don Cou
pons, Alliance, soared 12 foet, 8' j
inches to establish a new mark.
The third place Alliance team's
hopes were dealt a severe blow
when Coupens injured his ankle
and was forced to withdraw from
the broad jump, in which he rated
as favorite.
THE 880 record withhold the
test of I lobe Jones in the Friday
feature race. Jones, a pre-mcet
favorite to smash the ten year old
mark set by Bob Ginn, was
hampered by an ailing ligament
and just missed in his record at
tempt. The Lincoln High ace,
however, turned the distance in
the creditable time of 2:00.7.
The most surprising competi
tor in Class A was Bob Fairchild
of Omaha Central. Fairchild upset
last year's century winner, Bob
Taylor, as he won the 100 in 10.3.
The easy striding Negro became
a double winner when he edged
Bobby Hahn of Grand Island in
the 440. He toured the lap in very
good time, :51.8.
ALL-STATE football player,
Ted Connors of Hastings also
pulled an upset in capturing the
shot with a heave of 49 feet 1
inch. Dick Pucilek, Creighton
Prep, was second with 47 feet, 7',
inches.
Connor's teammate, Hoffarber,
surprised Leon of Alliance in the
mile. Hoffarber ran the distance
in 4:40.6, far outdistancing the
Alliance second and third place
combo of Leon and Sampson.
The final rundown on team
scoring: O. Tech, 45; Lincoln
High, 36; Alliance, 31; O. Benson,
24; O. Central 21.
