Tuesday, May 2, 1950 NO Edges Buffs, 66-65; Seven New Records Meade Bob Berkshire Sets New Marks in Hurdle Events BY KIMON KARABATSOS. (SMrl Kditor, Dully Nchrnnkui) , Coach Ed Weir's trackmen edged out the Colorado Buffalpes Monday afternoon in Memorial Stadium, 66-65, in a meet that saw seven records fall by the wayside. Nebraska thin-clads countered for four of the new marks with Colorado getting three, including the relay which ended the meet in a thrilling fashion. Hurdler Bob Berkshire of Ne braska and Bob Bruce were the only double winners. The ex Omaha Benson timber topper clipped two-tenths of a second off his old standard of :14.9 in the 120 highs and four events later, did the same in the 220 yard lows. Berkshire won the highs in :1 4.7 and the lows in :24.7. These two times represent the fastest time turned in by any Big Seven hurdler so far this season. Randolph Wins Jump Ted Randolph captured the broad jump on his last leap of the day with a 21-7 effort. His best jump up to then was 21-6, halt an inch behind teammate Jim McConnell. The Huskers finished one-two in that event to insure a meet victory. George Fitzmorris came thru with a 4:23.9 record breaking run in the mile in a raging duel with Husker Lee Moore. Moore had held the lead for three laps and the Buffalo took over the com mand spot on the gun lap. Moore made his challenge in the back st-otch, but faded as the two roundad the curve. The lithe Coloradoan knocked six seconds off his own record set in 1948. Fitzmorris Close Fitzmorris came very close to becoming another two-event winner, but decided to share the blue-ribbon with two other of his team. Milt Wiley, Wiley Chance and Fitzmorris tied for first in the two-mile in the slow time of 10:19.2. In the 100 yard dash, Harry Meginnis was barely edged by Bob Burke as the Buffalo turned in a :10 second hundred. Megin nis was leading the pack until two-strides from the tape where his sore leg-muscle played-out. Meginnjs was forced to scratch in the 220, costing Nebraska some valuable points, but Bill Baker came thru with a surprise second in the 220, breaking up a Colorado one-two finish. Bruce took his second win with a :22.3 furlong. Loyal Hurlbert, pushed by Harold Kopf, set a new standard in the 440. Hurlbert covered the quarter in :49.7, lowering the old mark of :50.4 set by Bolen of Colorado in 1947. Lee Moore, after his gruelling race in the mile, won the half mile by beating Ken Jacobs to the tape in 2:00.4 five seconds off the record set by Bolen. Jim Allen won the shot with a 49-5 put. Charley Toogood was good for third with a 47-5 lk heave. Sees Gels New Mark Wayne Sees added almost an other live feet to his mark in the discus as he spun the platter 143-3V4 feet. He held the old mark of 138-11, set in 1948. McConnell added a point to the Husker cause by taking third.

In the high jump, Joe Gold tound his golden opportunity for a blue ribbon, taking first place with a 6-2 jump. Huskers Dick Meisner and Tom Mead tied for second at 6-1. Don Cooper's 13-4 vault record set in 1948 still stands as the current vaulters failed to better the mark. Leonard Kehl tied with Bill Hannum and Clare Gregg at 13-3 for first. Cooper, after having won the Drake Relay's vault crown last week with a record breaking 14-1 performance was bothered by a re-occurance of a shoulder in jury. He re-injured his shoulder last Saturday as he won the Drake event. In the mile relay, which brought the meet to a close Vin cent Corbett, Bruce Brown', Ray Shaffer and Charles Temple teamed to clip eight-tenths of a second off their old mark set in 1946. Incidently, that was the oldest record on the books. Buffs Win Relay The Buffs had to work very hard for that new record as Kehl, Hurlbert, Engle and Kopf kept at their heels the entire go. Kehl and Corbett ended their laps less Cooper Shatters Drake Relay's Pole Vault By Knox Jones. (Staff Mportu Wrltrr. r Don Cooper, Nebraska's junior pole vaulter, scored the only Husker victory and topped the only record Saturday afternoon at the annual running of the Drake Relays in Des Moines. Cooper outlasted Don Laz, de fending champion, and Bill Car roll, Big Seven indoor and out door king, as tie cleared 14-1 to be break the 10 year-old-mark of Beefus Bryan of Texas by 1516 of an inch. On his second attempt at the record height, Cooper brushed the bar slightly but it held. Nei ther Laz, who has cleared 15 feet unofficially this year, nor Car roll, who cleared 14-5 last week at the Kansas Relays, could equal the Nebraskan's effort on the muddy' runway. Cooper failed to receive a sin gle vote for the outstanding ath lete award at the 41st renewal of the Drake carnival. The poll of newsmen was taken before the completion of the vault. Shuttle Team Close. Nebraska's 480 yard shuttle hurdle relay team came within a whisker of gaining the first Husker relay win at Drake since 1934. Michigan Normal was the winner over the quartet of Ray Magsamen, Don Bedker, Wendy Cole and Bob Berkshire but the finish was so close it took judges three minutes to decide the winner. Berkshire, Husker and; -man, took the baton about f. yards behind Jim Brodie ' the Michigan school but almost outpitched him at the yarn.

Hurlbert took the lead for Nebraska, but Shaffer and Temple were a little too much for Nebraska. Kopf put on a tremendous kick coming down the stretch, but couldn't overtake Temple who he had previously beaten in the 440 by a safe margin. Record on the muddy track and in 42-de-gree weather. The Nebraska half-mile and two-mile teams scored the only other Husker places. The two-mile team of Lee Moore, Ken Jacobs, Loyal Hurl bert and Harold Kopf finished third behind Oklahoma A & M and Illinois in a surprise show ing. Moore ran third in the first leg and Jacobs handed the ba ton to Hurlbert just back of third on the second leg. Hurl bert held fourth position and sent Kopf away with a three yard margin over the fifth team. Kopf Does Good. Kopf quickly took over third and held it with a 1:56.4 half altho he was forced to outrun Don Gehrmann of Wisconsin who started far back and made a ter rific finishing bid. ' The half-mile team of Bill Baker, Cole, Lee Alexander and Harry Meginnis could do no bet ter than fifth in a fast field. Ok lahoma A & M nipped Texas and Drake for first in 1:26.7. Meginnis and Berkshire failed to place in the finals of the 100 yard dash and the high hur dles. Harry was troubled with a poor start and finished out of the money in the field of seven. Berkshire faded over the last . vo barriers as Bill Flemming of Notre Dame, third last week at the Kansas Relays, beat Russ Merkel of Iowa in :14.9. Virgil Severns of Kansas State, Bob McGuire of Missouri and the Kansas four-mile relay team were the other Big Seven win ners. Severns cleared 6-6 in the high jump, McGuire won the two-mile run in 9:16.7 and the Kansas team of Herb Sem per, Cliff Abel, Pat Bowers and Bob Karnes ran away with the Cyclones In Eight Contests Iowa State spring sports teams swing into action this week a total of eight times with only three of the appearances on home grounds.

The Huskers were in a position to assume sole possession of sec ond place had they been able to get by Oklahoma in the second game. They won the first game handily, 14-3. The Nebraska batters were completely off the beam in the second contest. They were lucky to manage two hits off Oklahoma Pitcher Jim Kirk. . Nebraska didn't manage a single run until Harlan Powley socked his second homer of the two-game series with one man on in the seventh inning. Oklahoma's shortstop, Bob Stephenson, ruined the Husker hopes in the third inning. He started the heavy artillery with a three-run homer. Double Steal The Sooners added two in the fourth when John Reddell and Russel Hill raced home on Mor gosh's single. Charles Pugsley started the Oklahoma half of the fifth in ning with a single, stole second and scored by advancing on two flies.
