Two records went by the boards with Nebraska and Kansas State each taking one. Wildcat Virgil Severns with an exceptional jump of 6-5r! shat tered the old record of 6'3Vr". Severns, a junior, also estab lished a new Kansas State school record. The jump surpassed the Big Seven indoor record of 6-5 V held by Tom Scofield of Kansas. Monte Kinder of Nebraska held the dual record, setting it in 1948. Nebraska took two slams, the 880 and 60 yard low hurdles Kansas State scored a near miss on a slam, getting first and sec ond in the two mile. Husker Dean Barnell broke up a Kan sas three-some in that event with a third place effort. Lee Moore, after winnlnc the mile, came back to run the 880 and scored a third place. Ken Jacobs won the half and Loyal Hurlbert fin ished second. All three run ners finished with less than a foot apart. The low hurdles, won by Ray Magsamen, had the same type finish with Bob Berkshire and Don Bedker finishing in that order. Nebraska hurdlers finished first and second in the highs with Berkshire and Magsamen doing the honors. Earl Elliot nosed out Bedker for third.

By Kimon Karabatsos (sports Kdilor, Dally Nebrnfhan) The last time I mentioned Ne braska and the National ratings, the Huskers lost. For you who are suspicious, I'm not going to mention it, but since superstitions supposedly are imbedded only in those who are not educated, and this is the University of Nebraska where people are getting educated, no one is superstitious. Therefore, I'll mention it. Huskers Missing Tuesday, the Associated Press newspapers carried their weekly national ratings. Conspicuously missing was Nebraska. Nebraska, the team currently riding herd over the Big Seven conference basketball race. Above such terms as Kansas State, Colorado and Kansas and Missouri yes, the Tigers. Surprised that I should mention1-Missouri, the cellar-dweller of the Big Seven? What's wrong with their record? In their out ings with the Big Ten schools, they have won over 50 per cent. Their lone Big Ten loss came at the hands of Ohio State the third ranked team of the nation. A look at their de feat only proves that Missouri is a strong team. Throughout the entire game the Tigers were leading and not until the last two and a half minutes of play did the Buckeyes earn their victory spurs. This year, the Big Seven, in my books, is definitely much stronger than the Big Ten. Yet, Ohio State, by leading their con ference, is rated number three. Bradley, leading the Missouri Valley conference, by-passed Holy Cross for top ranking. De cember 12, Nebraska made the short journev to Peoria and re turned deflated, 54-64. Ten points the difference. Joe Malacek, an excellent rebounder, and "hustling" Bob Cerv were left at home both were starters. Malacek was waiting for the "blessed event" and Cerv was benched with a knee injury. The big question remaining is, 'Do these two players represent 10 or more points?" A direct answer is impossible, so I'll leave you to quibble over the question. My personal opinion is, "Yes." A Challenge This is a challenge to Coach Harry Good and his masterful bunch of basketball players. By taking the Big Seven, they will have the chance of answering the question. Winner v. Bradley The winner of the Big Seven will play Bradley for the honor of representing District 5 in the NCAA play-offs. Then the an swer mijjht be answered. Saturday niaht, Nebraska goes alter Iowa State at Ames. The Cyclones have been faltering, but they could do a heck of a lot of damages to Nebraska's title hopes. A loss now would be quite costly. If Nebraska keeps on the form chart, the Big Seven finish will be decided March 11, at Man hattan. lN lo-cond lirnl third, tie betw.-eli H"b linn-nun 1N1 and Boucher (M). Tune :( ft.

Pat Bowers, brilliant half miler for the Kansas Jayhawks, is smashing record after record in the 8U0 yard event. He hung up a new Sugar bowl standard January 1 hi New Orleans with a blazing 1:50.0, the swiftest 880 ever recorded in the South. Last year he wrote no less than 12 new records into the books in all varieties of meets to forget the most consistently ster ling half-mile performance in Mt. Oread annals. His top efforts last year were a 1:51.1 for fourth in the NCAA, a 1:50.0 in winning the National Junior AAU 800 meters, a 1:56.5 lishing a new low for the Big in setting a new league Indoor 880 mark, and a 1:52.5 in estub-Seven-Southwest dual.

Because of a swimming meet this week-end, ace trampolinist, F.d Craren will not be able to take the trip with the gymnasts. Top Performance This week Geier has been put ting his emphasis on continuity, of performance, as well as diff iculty of exercise. By the end of the wcok, the squad members should reach top peak, barring any unforsecn injuries. Leading the team in scoring is junior, Al Dunavan, with 101 points. Dunavan has been working the parallel bars, hor izontal bar, tumbling, flying rings and trampoline.

"If our opponents fall off the apparatus, and my boys hit their exercises, we have a good chance of winning the meet," Coach Geier commented. Holy Lross Accepts Bid Holy Cross, the only major college team that is undefeated, became the first team to enter a major post-season tournament when it agreed to play in the N.C.A.A. tourney in New York. The Crusaders, winners of 22 straight games, will represent district no. 1. Bradley will probably play the Big Seven conference champions, the winner to represent District Seven in the tourney.

Winner of an Olympic crown in 1948, Brand has a college rec ord of 35 straight victories and only three losses in his entire college wrestling career. He de risioncd Nebraska's Herb Reese earlier this year. Last year, Brand was out with a shoulder injury. The operation means Brand will miss both the NCAA wrest ling championship tournament March 24-25 and the Big Seven wrestling meet March 10-11. Wrestlers Win-Lose On Road The Cornhusker wrestling team returned home victorious in one out of three dual meets. On Friday night they met Oklahoma A & M, national col lege wrestling champs of last year. The Huskers were on the tail end of a 21-3 score. However, the Aggies lost their first individual match of the sea son when Herb Reese defeated the Aggie 175 pounder 3-2. Ken Brown, substitute for Louis Can iglia, looked very good in the 121 pound division even though he lost his match. The following night the Husker matmen traveled on to Norman where they absorbed their first conference defeat of the year. The Sooners whisked by the Huskers 20-8. Mike DiBiasc wasn't used in this meet because of a leg injury received against Okiahoma A & M. Mick Sparano looked the best in this meet that he has looked all season. On Monday night the Kansas State Wildcats were hosts to Ne braska at Manhattan. The Pat terson squad rebounded from the two previous losses to trim the Wildcats 21-13.

They will leave April 9 for the University of Southern Illinois for the season opener. They will also play two games at Washington U. in St. Louis before their con- lerence opener at Columbia, Missouri, April 14 and 15. Since the first conference game is with the Tigers, this trip will replace the one to Texas, which has been taken the past two seasons. After four weeks of hard work in the new field house, the team has been rounding into good shape- More concentrated team work and infield workouts are scheduled to begin next week. Seven Titchcrs Coach Sharpe has seven pitch ers to depend on for mound duties this season. Elroy Gloystein, three year lettcrman, has shown consider able promise in early workouts. Ernest Beam, Brainard and Bob Jenkins, southpaw from Phil lipsburg, Kansas, saw limited varsity duty last year and should give needed experience to the squad. Bob Camp, West Toint letter man, performed mostly relief duty last year and Sharpe is counting on him for his No. 1 relief huilcr this season. Linus Vrbka, Utica; Del Kopf, Lexington and George Nutt, Lincoln, last year freshmen standouts, have shown consider able promise and should strengthen the mound corps. With Dill Blaschford dropping baseball because of a heavy schedule, Tom Novak returns as the only letterman for catching chores. Tom is being greatly pushed for a starting berth by sopho more candidates Bob Lohrbcrg, Lincoln and Bob Steinbcrger, Schuyler. Infield Competition Great Competition for regular infield berths is the greatest on the squad. Coach Sharpe said that with four returning lettermen and three newscomers, an inter esting battle for positions is tak ing place. Bill Denker, third; Bob Gro gan; shortstop; Hobe Hayes, sec ond; and Don Hayes, utility man are returning vets from last years squad. They are finding the going rough with John Rego, Bill Jensen and Ray Mladovich vicing for positions. The loss of Bob Schleiger by graduation has left the first base position wide open. Sharpe said that Mladovich, former Omaha Metz star, and Jensen have the upper hand at the spot. Reliable Bob Cerv and Buzz Powley are the only returning lettermen for the outfield- With sophomore newcomers Bill Fitz gerald, Omaha; Bob Diers, West Point and Keith Skalla, Beatrice, Coach Sharpe should have little Sale begins Thursday 10 A.M ft 1 1 trouble filling the remaining position. Only one open date remains on the 1950 schedule and Sharpe believes this will be filled by th end of the week. Sport Snaps The details of the new offensa for the North Carolina were fin ally let out last week, after the local football team had coma pleted almost three weeks of drills with the experimental for mation. The Tar Heels reportedly are testing a reasonable facsimile of the Southern Methodist mode of attack the double wing, or "Y." The Carolina version sports an unbalanced line, which they have been using. One back lines up on the wing, two "short backs" are stationed side by side, three yards back of the line. The fourth back is two yards deeper, as in, the conventional "short punt" formation.
