On the basis of early season
performances eleven meet rec
ords will be in danger when the
two teams get together on Mon

bettered the meet record of :50.4.
Hurlbert turned in a :49.0 and
Kopf a :49.7 against Kansas. Kopf
may be entered in the half-mile.
One-mile Lee Moore of Ne
braska should easily break the
mile record of 4:29.5 set by
George Fitzmorris of Colorado in
1948. Moore ran under the rec
ord against Kansas and has a
4:19 to his credit in door com
petition. High and low hurdles Bob
Berkshire has turned in a :14.6
clocking in the highs and :24.1
in the lows and will be a favorite
to break both barrier records.

DON CAMBELL Graduated
Colorado sprinter, won't be
back to defend his crown. The
Buffalo speedster holds the rec
ord in both the century and
220. With Cambell out of the
sprints, the Husker chances for
a dual victory are much
brighter. Harry Meginnis is the
pre-meet favorite to win the
dashes.

When Bill Carroll, Oklahoma's
lanky senior pole-vaulter from
Okemah, was called to the mic
rophone after being voted the
outstanding performer at the
Kansas Relays last week, the
told the 10,000 spectators pres
ent: "There's another fellow here
today who should be standing
ght up here beside me. He is
John Jacobs, our track coach at
Oklahoma. Jake's wisecracks, as
well as his coaching have helped
Pull me out of all my slumps."
Carroll's winning VBult of 14

DICK MEISSNER Husker high jumper, will have to reach his peak
in order to establish a new record for Nebraska-Colorado dual
meet. He might not get the new record, but Coach Ed Weir is
banking on him to come through with some important points.

Sees in 1948. Sees will also be
after the record. He had an
unofficial toss of 156 feet at Kan
sas Relays.
Huskers Favored
Nebraska will be favored over
the Buffs on the basis of greater
all-round strength on both the
track and in the field. The Husk
ers should win the majority of
the points in the sprints, hurdles
440, 880, relay, pole vault, broad
jump and javelin with good out
side support in other events.
Harry Meginnis, Nebraska
sprinter, will be favored in the
100. 220 and broad jump and

Meginnis has shown steady im
Drovement during the outdoor
season but will have trouble
pushing the records in any of
the three events.

Husker Tennis Team Trounces
K-Wesleyan for Initial Win
place, each team having won 3
and lost 1 in conference play.
Powley Connects
The Huskers cemented their
victory in the third inning when
rightfielder Harlan "Buzz" Pow
ley knocked a home run with
the bases full.
Shortstop Bob Stephenson did
the most damage to Nebraska.
He paced the Sooner's seven hit
attack with two round-trip
tickets. The first one came in the
third with no men on and the
second one was hit in the eighth
with one mate aboard.
The Sooner prize hurler, Jack
Shirley, was just another pitcher
to the determined band of Ne
braskans. Bill Denker singled in
the first frame, driving in two
runs. Nebraska picked up a third
run in the first on an over throw
at third base.
The second inning found Ne
braska continuing their offen
sive show. Bob Jensen hit
single and scooted home on a
double by Bob Diers.
Cerv Triples
In the third inning Bob Cerv
opened up with a triple to right,
Denker was hit by a pitched
ball and Tom Novak beat out a
bouncing grounder to load the
bases for the Huskers. Then
Powley made his fateful appear
ance. With a full count on him,
Powley knocked Shirley out of
the box with his homer. This
made the score board read 8-1.
Nebraska tatooed away at re
lief hurler Bob Waters for runs
in the third, fifth and seventh
Against a third Sooner reliefer,
John Davis, the Huskers tallied
three runs in the ninth. Denker
batted two more runs in with a
single and Novak's hit added a
third.
Linus Vrbka went the full dis
tance for Nebraska. He gave up
three free passes and sent seven
men down swinging. The seven
hits he allowed were well scat
tered and he was never n hot
water. Vrbka contributed to his
own victory with three succes
sive bingles.
Phi Belts Win
Badminton
Team Crown .
BY J. HECKENLIVELY
The Phi Delta Theta badmin
ton team, led by Tom Shea and
Tom Brownlee. swept to the All-
University Championships in to
taling 305 points as compared 10
125 points of their nearest com
petitor, Alpha Tau Omega.
Shea and Brownlee annexed
the doubles crown by defeating
Chuck Saggau and Bob Osborne
of Alpha Tau Omega, 15-3, io-.
The hard smashes by Shea
coupled with the good placement
and net shots of Brownlee were
ton much for their rivals
through-out the tournament.
ThP closest match for the win-
was their semi-final match with
Yeoh and Dixit of the Inde
pendents. This combination car
ried the champs three games,
losing the match game 15-5.
Ghim Yeoh, Independent bad
minton star from Malaya, won
ho sinslM title hv defeating
Shea in a three game series, 15-12-
12-15 and 15-9. Yeoh, a mas
ter of placements and drop shots,
lost only one game in the whole
tournament.
tvio nni nositlon of the team
race found Phi Delta Theta in
first place with 305 points, Al
pha Tau Omega second with 125
points, and Beta Theta Pi, Kap
pa Sigma, and the Independents
tied for third at 115 points.
The success of the tournament
this year should be credited to
va TTitrcHnbntham. A record
number of participants turned
out for the tournament and un
der his direction the matches
were played off smoothly and
without congestion.
Coach Bob Slezak's Cornhusk
er tennis crew posted their first
win of the 1950 spring campaign
by slipping past. Kansas Wes
leyan 3-2 last Friday ' down at
Salina, Kas.
The Nebraskans had previ
ously dropped matches to Kan
sas State, Washburn, and the
University of Kansas.
In Friday's contest, only the
singles matches were played.
The doubles were cancelled be
cause of rain.
Men turning in the winning
performances for Nebraska s.vip-
tory were Andy Bunten,- Bob
Radin. and Jerry Magee.
These matches were the first
singles victories that Coach Sle
zak's team have been able to
win. The other Nebraska vic
tories had been won by Jerry
Magee and Bob Radin in the
doubles. They won their doubles
matches against both Kansas
State and Washburn.
Coach Slezak had been ex
pecting all three men to hit their
stride before the season was very
far along.
Bunten Adept Pupil
Bunten has been an especially
adept pupil. He has been im
proving steadily with his service.
Radin and Magee have also
been showing new skill with the
racket. Together they make a
good doubles combination and
will probably contribute, even
more in the future.
The Huskers will make their
next home stand against the
Iowa State Cyclones on May 6
Berkley Grelner (KW) defeated Jamie
Curran (N 3-6. 8-3, 8-8.
Nelaon Giddinijs (KW) defeated Jeff

Gage Meet
By Bob Banks
The feature attraction of the
1950 spring basketball drills ac
cording to Basketball Coach
Harry Good will be a cage show
between a team composed of
former Cornhusker stars and a
squad of varsity men.
The game is to be played this
Friday night in the Coliseum.
Tip off time is at 7:30.
Good plans for the contest to
serve as a climax to the spring
drills which are now beginning
their third week. It will give
Cornhusker fans a chance to get
a preview of things to come in
the 1950-51 season.
The game will also give Good
a chance to test his varsity
against a group of seasoned per
formers. His team is made up
largely of freshmen and "B"
teamers who haven't had a
chance to show their wares
against outside competition. Only
three lettermen will be cavort
ing for the Cornhuskers Friday
night.
The game will have a cham
pionship flavoring, thanks to the
Alumni squad. Most of their
squad is composed of stars who
have spearheaded a Cornhusker
championship team for the last
two years. Chief among these
are such colorful players as
Claude Retherford, Bus White
head, Joe Brown, Anton Lawry,
Henry Cech, Joe Malacek, and
Dick Schlieger.
Men playing for the Varsity
are Allen Benjamin, Dean Brit-
tenham, Jim Buchanan, Harold
Cocanower, Paul Fenske, Joe
Good, Dwight Herendeen, Graves

Latest craze to hit the Big
Seven sports empire is the
"alumni" games. The only school
of the conference that has not
scheduled an alumni game is
Colorado. Don't be surprised to
read that the Buffs are planning
one though.
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Kansas State, Missouri and now
Iowa State have all paraded
their grads and spring teams be
fore their fans as a preview as
to what they can expect come
next fall.
Iowa State is the latest school
to establish a game with the
"old-timers." The Cyclones will
meet their "stars of yesteryears"
some time next week, and the
sports desk has been bombarded
with press releass from the
Ames stronghold.
Like the Husker game, ad
mission will be 50 cents for
students and a dollar for non
students and coaches. The pro
ceeds will go for the same
cause. If the Cyclones should
happen to trounce the "grads"
it will be the first one-sided
victory to be chalked up in the
conference.
Nebraska and Oklahoma bare
ly eked out wins, 14-13. in both
cases. The Sooners were not the
"40 point favorites" that the
Huskers were, in fact, they were
underdogs. The Oklahomans had
a star-studded field with mem
bers of their two Sugar Bowl
championship teams on hand.
Sooners Favored
That Sooner victory puts them
odds-on favorites to repeat as
Big Seven champions, but the
Huskers still have to be fully in
doctrinated at "Camp Curtis."
I'm optimistic when it comes to
predictions concerning the Husk
er grid team for 1950.
Since they are so far out of
line when I compare them with
the others that I have seen, I
have decided to await the final
issue of the "Rag" before I cause
them to be printed. Get ready
for a shock!
