Coach Ed Weir sends his in
jury riddled track team against
a star-packed Kansas State track
team in Memorial Stadium this
afternoon, starting at 4 p.m.
Leading the array of stars
from the Sunflower state will be
Virgil Severns and Rollin Pra
ther. Severns claims the honor of
being the best high jumper in the
nation this year. He has turned
in the best mark of any collegi
ate high jumper, in the nation.
Best in Nation.
His best jump for the season
was a 6-8 Vi effort at the Texas
Relays where he won first place.
He has consistently cleared 6-4
and should wipe out Husker Dick
Meissnef's dual meet record set
in 1949 at 6-1 Vz.

HARRY MEGINNIS Nursing
a sore muscle in his leg, will,
not compete Wednesday aft
ernoon against Kansas State.
Weir has decided that a rest
.would be better for the ace
dash-man.
Using Kansas University a3 a
measuring stick, the meet should
end in a tie. Both Nebraska and
Kansas State lost to the Jay
hawks by one point, 66-65.
Missing from the Husker list
of competitors will be Harry MeA,
ginnis in the dashes and Don
"Moose" Cooper in the pole vault.
Cooper is nursing an old shoul
der injury which he re-injured
at the Drake Relays where he set
a new vault record of 14-1. The
standard for this meet is 12-9

oldest on the books was set in
1940.
Meginnis, who pulled up lame
in the Colorado dual last week,
is resting so that he will be in
top shape for the Big Seven car
nival to be held in Lincoln May
19-20.
Baker Replaces Meginnis.
Bill Baker will have to carry
the' load for the Huskers in the
dashes. He proved his worth
against Missouri, winning the
220.
Coach Weir said he didn't care
to risk further aggravation V
their injuries with the Big Seven
meet so close and that is why he
will not use either Cooper or
Meginnis.
Husker chances in the pole
vault rest squarely on the shoul-
ders of Leonard Kehl. Kehl has I
always pulled through for the I
Huskers when the chips were
down.
Kehl, if right, could establish
a new record in the pole vault.
Four New
State
McCue, Fairchild, Holt,
Hendrickson, Heidelk Lead
BY BOB BANKS.
Four new records are all ready
assured of being written into the
books for the annual Nebraska
State Track and Field Champ
ionship which will be held this
Friday and Saturday on the
Cornhusker cinder layout.
The first of these is the num
ber of individual performers and
the number of schools that will
year. A total of 781 track hope
be competing for honors this
fuls will make the jaunt to Lin
coln in order to do battle for
their school.
The number of schools that
will make up the entry list com
prises 233 schools. Both of these
numbers surpass the previous
marks which were hung up in
1949 when 639 athletes competed
representing 209 schools.
New Events
The other two new marks
which will find their way into
the record book come as a result
of new events.
The first new event is the
180-yard low hurdle race. This
event is being added ns a re
placement for the old 200-yard
low hurdle event,
The other change in the sched
ule of events is the addition of
the 1-mile relay. This relay has
generally boon con l ined to col
lege circles but vill be a fea
tured event this year.
None of the state records
which are now in the books ap
pear to be in serious Jeopardy of
being erased. They haven't boon
broken in competition thus far
this year and the prcpstors are
going to have to be at their peak

THINKING IT OVER Ed Weir,

the Big Seven carnival to be held here May 19-20. Weir is not
expected to use either pole vauler Don Cooper or dash-man Harry
Meginis who are nursing sore muscles.

performance in order to accom
plish any record breaking.
Bob Black of South Sioux j
City has been over the twelve
foot mark for the last two years
in winning the Class B pole vault
crown. If he is given enough
competition there is a possibility
that the record which Don Cou
pens made last year could be
shattered.
Although Arapahoe's i 1 1 u s t
trious Hoppy McCue may not
break any records, he will pro
bably provide a major portion of
the thrills for the spectators.
He is entered in the high hur
dles, low hurdles, broad jump,
high jump, pole vault, and is
slated to run a leg on the Arapa
hoe 880-yard reiay team. This
easily makes him the outstand
ing workhorse of the meet and
he will also be in a good spot to
win the pentathlon which will
make him the outstanding track
man in the state.
Fairchild Back
Omaha Benson's Bobby Fair
child will also be a man of the
hour during the meet. Last yeai
he copped the Class A places in
the 100-yard dash and the 440
yard danh. However, from the
recent showing which he made
in the Omaha Intercity meet, he
will be hard pressed to retain
both titles.
Ron Zook, all-around athlete
from Glenvil, will come back to
Lincoln this spring to try and
prove that his athletic ability
isn't con fined to basketball. And
from all appearances, it seems
that he can prove just that. Zook
has hurled the discus over the
150-foot mark several times this
season.
Phil Heidelk will lead Kalr
buiy's Individual performers, ric
has the best high jump mark
In the state to date with a leap
of ,r feet 11 inches. The Jeffs
will also present an 880-yard
relay team which has the best
time In too state, Their quartet
has churned the relay in 1:32.5.
The Lincoln Hiqh ace sprinter,
junior Brian Hendrickson, will
icturn to the state meet in hopes
of racking up 2 firsts in the 100
ynrd dash and the 220-yard dash.
He has pouted some outstanding
times this year and will be one
of the favorites.
Glen Wyatt will be one of the
outstanding performers from the
panhandle. Last year he ran sec
ond to Don Moorhous in the
Class C 440 and turned in the
second best time In the meet.
Klnspahr to Bid
Another Class D basketball
star who will return to Lincoln
this spring Is Glenn Einspahr,
He earned a ticket to the meet
in the 220-yard dash.
Bob Holt, Duang Gay, and Bill
Hawkins will lead the" aggrega
tion from Beatrice. Holt has
turned in the best mile perform
ance in the state while Hawkins
and Gay are both entered in
several events.
Jerry Mlnnlck of .Jambridge is
also another muscle man to
watch. He has approached the
50 foot mark in the shot put.
Omaha's Dick Westin will
head a fine field of hurdlers. He
has ran the 120-yard high bar
riers in 15.2.
Dale Lemon and Keith Smith
are the cream of a potent North
east Rocket crew, Lemon should
give Westin plenty of trouble In
the hurdles while Smith could

The four returning class cham
pions are Omaha Tech in Class
A, Gothenburg in Class B, Arap
ahoe in Class C, and the Ne
braska Deaf in Class D.
The two schools which are
Rjven the best chance of retain-
ing their championship trophys
are Arapahoe and Gothenburg.
Neither school will be a sure
fire winner but they both will
present strong squads.
Omaha Tech has' lost its star
performers of last year and will
not be favored to repeat.
The Class A favorites are
Scottsbluff, Grand Island, Om
aha Central, Lincoln High, Lin
coln Northeast, and Beatrice.
Gothenburg's hottest argument
will come from South Sioux City,
Holdrege, Minitare, Mitchell, and
Sidney.
Chadron Prop, Mullen, and
Blue Hill will present the strong
est barrier to Arapahoe's hopes
for another title.
Chief competition in class D
rests among Atkinson St. Jo

This Week
Colorado's Golden Buffaloes
managed to stay on top of the
Big Seven's baseball race by
edging past Missouri in their
first of a two-game series Mon
day afternoon.
The Buffs have won both of
their two games played, but are
expected to feel the axe very
soon. They have not played a
conference game away from
home.
The home field is a tremend-

ous advantage to Colorado be
cause of the thin air in Boulder.
If Colorado should happen to
lose their second game Tuesday,
it would send Nebraska into
first place on the basis of games
played.
Coach Tony Sharpe's Huskers
should improve their league
standings this week-end when
they meet Iowa State at Ames.
The Cyclones have won only
one game in their eight en
counters and are firmly stuck in
the cellar.
Sonner-Bluff Game
While the Huskens are in
Ames, the spotlight will be turn
ed on Oklahoma where the
Buffs meet the Sooners. Getting
the starting nod for the Sooners
will probably be their ace
mounds-man Jack Shirley.
Only once his Shirley been
tabbed for a defeat and that was
against the hitting Huskers from
Nebraska. Twelve times Coach
Sharpe's crew have knocked out
home runs to make them the
home run leaders.
The Buffs have hit seven
home runs, five short of the
Husker total.
Bob Cerv leads in the extra
base department for Nebraska.
The Weston ace has hit 12 extra
base blows, including five home
runs which put him ahead of
the pack.
The remaining schedule of the
two teams definitely favors the
Huskers. Colorado has eight
conference games left to play
while the Huskers have only six.
Nebraska has a 14 game con
ference schedule and the Bluffs
have only 11 conference titls
scheduled.

BOULDER, Colo. Colorado
stayed in first place of the Big
Seven conference baseball race
Monday afternoon as Bob Manir
allowed only three scratch hits,
downing Missouri, 8-0.
It was a hard loss for Tiger
pitcher Rog Englert who gave
the Buffs only seven scratch hits.
Nine Coloradoans went down
fanning the air three in order
in the fifth.
Manire gave up five walks, but
allowed no one to get by second.
After Englert has sent Bill
Ley, Fred Johnson and Harry
Narcisian down in order in the
fifth; the Buffs bounced back in
the sixth to score two runs.
Missouri was guilty of two
errors and a passed ball which
gave Colorado two runs. Hugh
Graham provided the excitement
for the day when he slid into
home, knocking Tiger catcher
Murrey out.
Hits by Narcisian and Fancho
Moldonado, plus a fielder's
choice produced two more runs
in the seventh.
In the last half of the eighth,
the Buffs capped the scoring
with four runs on three hits, an
error and a passed ball.
The Missouri loss dropped
the Tigers into fifth place, just
a half game behind Kansas
