Indoor Track Competition
Tough for NU Cindermen
One of the finest arrays of
stars in conference history will
parade into Kansas City's Mu
nicipal auditorium this weekend
for the twenty-third revival of
the Big Seven Indoor Track
Championships.
Outstanding track athletes from
ell Big Seven schools as well as
representatives from . eight Kan
sas City, Mo., and four Kansas
City, Kan., high schools will par
ticipate in the annual carnival
which gets under way Friday at
1 p.m.
Preliminaries and semi-finals
In the dash events, hurdles, shot
put, 440 and 880-yard runs are
scheduled Friday night along with
the preliminary and final broad
jump competition. Championship
events will start Saturday at 8
p.m. before an expected full
house.
Missouri's power-laden squad
will take to the auditorium
boards favorites to wrest the
crown from defending champion
Kansas. The Tigers have eight re
turning point winners from last
year's fourth place squad, while
th best first and second place
Kansas and Nebraska can mus
ter is four each.
Records Broken
Adding luster to the indoor
highlight is the possibility of eight
of the 12 records either being
broken or tied. Old marks im
periled are in the mile, two-mile,
440, 60-yard dash and low hrdles,
pole vault, and broad jump.
Pole vault, broad jump, and
two-mile marks already have ben
bettered in dual competition this
spring, while the high jump rec
ord has been tied.
Although he will have to do it
In the indoor meet to make it
official, Nebraska's Don Cooper
has bettered the old pole vault
of 13' 11-," set by Bill Carroll
of Oklahoma in 1950, four times
with his best effort "being 14' 5-
against Kansas State last week.
That work not only is an out
standing conference feat, but also
one of the best indoor vaults ever
recorded.
Herb Hoskins, Kansas State's
stock broad jumper, is another
potentnial record breaker. The
Wildcat star's leap of 24' 1 V4" in
the Michigan State relays this
spring tops the second oldest
mark on the books a 24'-"
spring by Norman Pederson of
Iowa State in 1946.
Back to defend his title in the
two-mile will be Captain Herb
Semper of the Kansas team, but
he'll be hard pressed to beat off
challengers for his low of 9:26.4.
An able challenger will be Mis
souri's Bob Fox who galloped the
distance event in 9:25.3 against
Nebraska.
The high jump mark of 6' 5-"
recorded by Tom Scofield of Kan
sas in 1948 has been equalled by
BOB riKKlt. . . . nears me up
time Husker basketball scoring
mark. Bob annexed 13 more
points against Kansas State
Monday night to up his total
for the year to 347 markers.
This is only 13 shy of the record
established by Bus Whitehead
last year. Seven points in each
of the remaining contests with
Oklahoma and Missouri will
give the Husker senior the
new all-time scoring mark of
367. Nearest NU competitor in
the scoring department for Bob
is Jim Buchanan with 267
markers to date.

Record Holder
Two other returning record
holders are Byron Clark of Mis

Colorado. Clark tied the dash
mark of :06.2 last year which was
chalked up the year before by
CU's Don Campbell. Hodel tied
the record of :07.4 in the 60-yard
high hurdles set by Bnd Gartiser
of Missouri in 1948.
Clark has hit 6.3 twice this sea
son, with Augie Raso of Colorado
also turning in a 6.3 time. Other
challengers in the dash could be
Thane Baker of Kansas State, Lee
Alexander of Nebraska, and
Quanah Cox of Oklahoma, all of
whom have recorded 6.4 in duals
this campaign.

Hoskins, KS, broad jump; and
Gorden, MU, high jump. Virgil
Severns of KS, co-titlest In the
high jump, is not expected back
because of participation in the
Pan American games now being
held at Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Oklahoma will be defending
champion in the mile relay and

Hawaiian Sets
Swim Marks
By JERRY BAILEY
Will Ford Konno atted NU
next year?
There is one chance in a million
that the Hawaiian high school
swimming champ might decide to
come to Nebraska. If he does,
it will be because Hawaiian stu
dents on campus have urged him
to. One of his friends from Hono
lulu has written him, urging him
to enroll at Nebraska next year.
Sixty colleges and universities,
among them Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, and Ohio State, have
made juicy unofficial offers in
attempts to snare the young mer
man. Ford Konno set two new na
tional high school records on
Feb. 16. when he swam the 200-
yard and 220-yard free-styles in
1.55.2 and 2.07.7 respectively.
Last year Konno became the
only American ever to defeat
Hironoshin Furuhashi, the "Flying
fish of Japan." He broke Furu-
hashi's world record tor the 880
vard water dash.
Konno is now a senior at
Hawaii's McKinley high school.
He has been described as being
"five foot four, weighing less
than 140 pounds."
Hawaiian students, from a ter
ritory famous for producing
phenomenal swimmers, would De
understandably proud if Ford
Konno could join them here. The
holder of two national and one
world's record would be quite an
addition to the University's swim
ing team.
Sooner Meet
Last Warmup
ForTracksters
The University of Nebrask cin
dermen had their last Warmup
for the Big Seven Indoor Track
Meet when they dropped a 54-50
decision to the University of
Oklahoma track team last Sat
urday. The conference meet is
scheduled for Kansas City, Kas.,
this Friday and Saturday.
But even in their defeat, the
Huskers didn't lose the meet un
till the last event. Although they
had trailed the Sooners "through
out the entire meet the Husker
hopes soared when both Glenn
Beerline and Irving Thode bet
tered 23 feet in the broadjump.
These two leaps were better than
Sooner Jimmy Smith had "been
able to put out. However, on his
last leap. Smith passed both Hus
ker marics to give the meet to
Oklahoma. Smith is the only
senior on Coach Jacobs squad.
Jones
Hobe Jones proved he has en
durance as well as speed by -winning
both the 880 and the mile.
He streaked to new records in
both events. The young sopho
more will be a top contender for
conference honors in at least one
event.
Don Cooper also proved his
tremendous pole vaulting is no
fluke this year by topping 14
feet with a different pole than
the one he ordinarily uses, after
his old one broke.
Ken Jacobs showed his versa
tility by concentrating on the two
mile and winning it in 10:4. He
took over for the ailing Bob Kru
ger who was forced out of the
meet by sickness.
Tolman
Dan Tolman made up for the
loss of veteran "Wendy Cole by
winning both hurdle events. He
turned in his outstanding per
formance of the year and should
do well in the conference meet
Friday and Saturday. Cole has
been bothered by an early season
injury.
Dick Meissner wasn't up to his
usual form and failed to win the
high jump for Coach Ed Weir's
squad. He had to satisfied with a
second place ribbon but should
perk up in the conference meet.
Weakness
The Tluskers agin showed their
weakness in the shot put. The
best the Huskers could do was a
third place by Paul Grimm. "
The Huskers wound up w ith a
4-2 a 11-season record. Tbey
dropped their other decision to
the University of Missouri. But
the performance against Okla
homa 4ndicated the Huskers will
have to be reckoned with in the
final run for conference honors.

pendent champs, the All-Unaf-
filiated champs ana tne aii-
University champions. The play
offs begin Tuesday, March 6.
Of the original 86 teams par
ticipating in regular season play,
56 are slated to gain the play
offs, leaving 30 with their play
ing finished come this Tuesday.
The closeness of league play
has resulted in the standing be
ing so tied up.
On the brighter side of the
picture, however, 35 teams have
clihched playoff berths, leaving
only 21 more with a chance to
gain them.
Only Three
Only three of the 14 leagues
have their playoff representa
tives already picked. Leagues
II, IV and X have their top four
teams already decided and no
win and lose combinations can
alter them.
In those leagues Sigma Phi
Epsilon, Delta Tau Delta, Sigma

Sigma Phi, Tau Kappa Epsilon,
Ag Men "A," Ag YMCA "A,"
Ag Extension Annex and the
Plamors are the sure playoff
contenders.
Leagues I. HI, V, VI and XII
have three teams for sure in the
post-season play. Leagues VII,

Leagues IX, XL XHI and XVI
have only one team that cannot

more.

Beta Theta Pi, the Pi Kaps
and Theta Xi are currently all
tied for fourth in league III. One
more Theta Chi win or one more
Acacia defeat would Bettle the
league V issue.
The Sic Alpha Bees and Sig
Nu Bees are currently tied for
fourth in league VI and a win
for one and a loss for the other
would untangle this situation.
The Beta Sig Bees also have an
outside chance.
One more win for the Sig Ep
Bees would give them a playoff
berth from league VII. The same
applies to the-AGR Bees in that
league.
Just One More

Wildcats Master NU
To Win Loop Title
Kansas State took clear-cut
ownership of the 1951 Big Sev
en basketball championship Mon
day night by blasting the Ne
braska Cornhuskers, 74-48. It was
the third straight win for the
Wildcats over the Huskers this
year and stretched their loop rec
ord to 9-1. Their all-over count
this season stands at 18-3, good
enough to give the Cats fifth
place in the nation last week.
The Cats started off slow in
dropping the Nebraskans Monday
night. They grabbed an early
4-0 lead on shots by Jack Stone
and Jime Iverson and then man
aged to keep just ahead of the
visitors until five minutes had
elapsed. At that point, the score
stood at 6-4.
Break Loose
Then the vaunted power of
the champions begin to break
loose and working in spurts, they
upped the count to 10-4 and with
about ten minutes gone the score
read 19-9.
Te K-Staters maintained that
ten-point bulge throughout the
rest of the first half that ended
37-27.
About all the Huskers offered
in the first half of play were
three fielders by forward Joe
Good and a couple by Bob Pierce
and Jimmy Buchanan. At the in
termission Good and Pierce each
had seven markers equal to three
Wildcat cagers, Stone, Head and
Iverson.
All doubt if any was ban
ished from the minds of the on
lookers in the second half as the
Cats blazed point after point
through the hoops while holding
the Huskers virtually scoreless.
Up the Lead
The new champions ran their
lead to 43-28 and then upped it
ever farther to hold a 53-33 lead
midway in the final half.
Only four Husker shots found
their way through the hoops in
that second half of play. The oth
er 13 NU counters had to come
via the foul line.
With Jack Stone leading the
way, the Cats really got hot and
rolled to a 70-40 margin with
only four minutes remaining.
Stone scored five consecutive
points during the rush and then
after relaxing a few moments,
returned with four more.
Close the Gap
Nebraska closed the gap a trifle
in the waning moments on a
couple of nifty shots by Jim
Buchanan and three free tosses

by Bob Pierce but at the gun
Wildcat Bob Rousey was con
necting with a long shot to th
score at 74-48.
The margin and score wert
practically the same as in their
meeting in Lincoln earlier in the
month. That contest ended 79-50.
Stone wss the point-getter for
the Kansans with 17 markers to
his credit, seven in the first half
and ten in the second. Ed Head
and Jim Iverson each con
tributed 12 to the Wildcat cause
and Guard Ernie Barrett closed
with a rush to add 11 more.
Pierce Leads
Although scoring only two
field goals, center Bob Pierce
again led the Huskers in scoring.
Bob got 13 markers on the two
goals and nine out of ten free
tosses.
Joe Good and Jim Buchanan
each upped the Husker total by
11 points. Joe annexed his on,
five goals and one charity toss
while Buchanan's came on four
fielders and three free-throws.
Other scorers for the Harry
Good crew were Bob Merrier
with four, Jim Snyder with
three, Jim Walsh and Bernie
Akromis with two and Bud Ward
and Jesse Sell with one apiece.
Still Fifth
Although losing, the Huskers
remained in fifth place tie with
the Iowa State Cyclones who
also lost their Monday night en
counter. The Missouri Tigers
measured the Cyclones 58-54.
The Mizzou win moves the Tigers
into sole possession of third place
in the loop standings, Oklahoma
being idle.
The Husker meet the same
Oklahomans in their last home
contest this aSturday in the NU
Coliseum. The Huskers cagers
have won their last two home
starts, but will be hard pressed
to gain their third from the
Sooners. The Okies are the only
conference team owning a vic
tory over the champion K-Staters
this year. The Okies also handed
Oklahoma A. & M. their only
defeat this season.
