Anyone who accuses Nebraska
track coach Ed Weir of being op
tomistic about his track team's
chances in the approaching Big
Seven conference outdoor track
meet, couldn't be any farther
trom the truth.
We'll have to work hard to
finish in fourth place," said the
Husker track mentor, who has
been slowly recovering from a
back operation.
The squad had failed in their
attempts to conquer a conference
foe in their dual track meets dur
ing the competitive season. Now,
the chips are down and the per
formances must be up if the
Huskers are to surpass the skep
tic outlook set forth by Weir.
18 Men To Go
Doctor Weir has prescribed an
18-man travelling squad as the
cure for strengthening the Husk
ers' Inherent weakness in collect
ing points.
The Huskers will enter the
meet a comparatively riddled
squad. Not only have the loss of
cindermen to Uncle Sam knocked
the foundation out of the sqnad
structure, but the loss of several
consistent point-getters will also
be felt.
Dan Tolman will remain home
for the meet Tolman injured his
leg early in the outdoor season
and the sophomore will not be
able to compete in his hurdle
specialties. His absence will
greatly impair Husker hopes in
the hurdle races and leave the job

AROUND THE
Buff's "Novelty" Sports
End for This Season
By Shirley Murphy
Colorado's "novel to the Big Seven" sports have come to the
season's end. Phil Puchner of the Buff College captured the .open
division giant slalom race sponsored by the Winter Sports .club in
Estes Park. He finished the eourBe in 3 seconds to -capture the
fastest score -of 20 .entrants. j
Colorado's Fencers club was defeated in the fourth annual Colo- ,
Tado-Denver junior foil team Match Cup -meet. The Denver men
scored a 7-2 victory lor possession of the cup another year. The
series now stands with two wins Jor .each team.
The Buff soccer club team fell with a 5-0 score to the Colo
rado Mines. This put the winning team on the filial round lor the
.coveted Spuulding Cup. The goals were scored after scoreless first
hulf tunnel. The Buffs stand third in the eight team regional league
lor the 1951 soccer season.
How're they going to keep them in K-State athletics after they
get the urge to become business men?
Halph -Graham, K-Stute's 'head grid coatih from 1948 to 1950,
plans to go into business at Wichita, Karmas. Thurlo McCrudy, ;
former director of uthletics lor K-Stute, will soon be a manager lor
a firm in Hustings and Alliance.
McCrady was coach and director of athletics at Hastings college
lor ten years before going to K.-tate in 1947.. Graham was publicly
Taoosted as "the finest football player in the United States" by Bo
McMillin. He luter avus assistant .couch to MCMillin. He climaxed a
coaching position in Wichita by taking 'his team to the Jiaisin 'bowl
at Fresno.

in practice. The record-breaking
York ace will probably go into
the conference meet "cold." That
is to say that he will not actually
do any vaulting until the meet it
self. His performance will have
to more than match his deter
mination with his leg condition as
it is.
Heavy points will have to come
from the field events if the Husk
ers want to make any showinr.
Butch Nielson and Paul Grimm
will again carry the scarlet colors
in the shot put.
Dick Meissner will close his
college high-jumping career
against stiff competitors from Ok
lahoma and Missouri, namely
Dick Jones and Bob Gorden.
Meissner holds the Nebraska
high-jump record at 6'7".
Broad Jumpers
Irv Thode and Glenn Beerline
will show their sophomore ability,
against conference stars. Kanga-!
roo-like Herb Hoskins from Kan-j
sas State will furnish most of the
trouble for this pair. !
George Prorhaska will aid in
the shot put; Warren Monson and
Dean Brittenham in the javelin;
and Leonard KeM in the shot put
to finish the list of Husker field
entrant hopefuls. j
It will also be the collegiate
finals for Lenny KehL The con-j
ference indoor pole vault cham
pion has his eyes set on adding
the outdoor blue ribbon to his
collection.
Counts Heavily
For the track events. Weir will
count heavily on his distance men
for points. Buele Balderson will
enter the half-mile with Dale
Schnackle. Balderson and Gene
t
independent Tit Se
rors and a base on balls paved
the way for the lily score.
The game was apparently
headed for extra innings . as in
the final half of the same frame,
the first two PA boys at bat were
sent back to the sidelines in a
hurry.
Levendusky Starts Things
PA catcher, Jim Levendusky
started things rolling at that
point. He lashed out a single to
left and up came Joe Ponseigo.
Ponseigo drew one of the six
walks issued by Lily liurler, Web
er and with the same two out,

Brandenburg. Brandie allowed

batsmen down swinging. He
walked but one.
Weber allowed only four hits
over the distance and struck out

however.
Brandenburg Hite, Too
Pitcher Brandenburg led the
hitting way for the winners, too.
He collected a pair of the four
the winners earned. Art Bauer
and Bernie Akromis got the only
two safeties off the PA hurler.
The newly crowned Indepen
dent champs were scheduled to
meet Interdenominational cham
pion Presby House for the AU-
ITnaffiliated title Wednesday, but
that title clash was again halted
by rain.
It has been rescheduled for
Thursday and may have to be
cancelled for good.
The fraternities narrowed down
their title-bidders to four Tues
day afternoon and with Wednes
day's rain were wondering if
their champion was going to be
named before the Friday dead
line. Delta Fi's Fan
Defending champion Cornhusk
er Co-op met the challenge of
Delta Sigma Pi successfullv and
reached the semi-finals. Le Co Co
men dropped the Delta Pi's by a
5-1 score.
The defending champs were
never beaded but had to fight all
the way. Winner Stu Nelson and
loser Hinkley waged a pitcher's
duel with nly five hits coming
off the two hurlers.
Nelson was supetf as lie al
lowed but two safeties and struck
out 12. He was a little wild
through the middle innings, "how
ever, and issued six walks. Hink
ley was touched lor only three
hits and one walk, but the win
ners took good advantage -of sev
eral Delta Pi errors.
Strike First
Cornhusker struck first in the
first frame and stretched their
lead to 5-0 in the fourth. The
only loBers' run was pushed
across in the fifth inning but the
victors matched that and added
an insurance run in the -sixth.
Dick Hungerford led the bai
ting way for the winners with a
home run in the fifth. Courtney
was all the losers liad to offer
in the line of batting as lie col
lected both safeties ff Welson.
He led off the third inning with
a (booming triple and 4ied n
third. He again led ff in the
fifth with a smashing double and
was left stranded on second.

The roof .caved in ,on the losers

the bench warmer
The Big Seven, following in
the footsteps of other conferences
around the nation, voted last
February in favor of permitting
freshmen to compete in Varsity
sports.
Two specific reasons were given
for revising the eligibility rule
which previously barred yearl
ings from Varsity competition.
1. It was believed that fresh
men would have to supply most
of the manpower in collegiate
sports because of the draft
2. Freshmen would tend to en
roll in schools where they could
immediately step into Varsity
berths.
However, it is very likely that
this new ruling will have only a
slight effect on the fate of the
Husker football team next year.
There is little reason to be
lieve that freshmen will be man
ning the most important roles on
our football squad in 1951.
la the first place the majority
of gridders who played on the
Husker eleven last year will be
deferred through ROTC. The
military department increased
its 3uota and now will be in a
position to handle many more
men.
Athletes Deferred
It certainly seems logical
enough to assume that a good
many athletes will be included
among this enlarged -quota.
Others who are not in ROTC
already belong or will join or
ganized reserve rants which will
automatically defer them unless
their group is called to active
duty.
The deferment tests also -open
another door to athletes. They
can oe aeierrea lor at ieast a
year by making scores above 70
on the examination.
A high scholastic rating will
defer them as long as the .defer
Mantle's Rise
No Surprise
Emergence of Mickey Mantle
as the grapefruit league's juiciest
rookie prospect comes as no sur
prise to Dick Atkinson, Missour
ri hurler, who from a pitcher's
angle has good cause to regard
the current Yankee sensation as
a first-rate villain.
Just three years ago, Atkinson
missed -out on every hurler 's
goal a no hitter When Mantle,
then with the Easter Springs
Whiz Kids, singled -off him in the
fourth inning -of a Ban Johnson
championship game.
"That was the only nit Baxter
Springs got off me that .day," is
Atkinson's rueful recollection,
"and Mantle eventually scored on
errors. But we won the game,
8-1, with my brother Ted driving
i the winning runs
Even though Mantle did ruin
his no-hit bid, Atkinson a lanky
fast-baller from Scammon, KasM
still rates that game as his great
est baseball thrill.
. The Taus were not yet finished,
however. Two walks, a fielding
error and Knox Jones' home ma
gave the losers four runs In their
half of the same frame.
The ATO's added three more
In the third an a walk, two errors
and a homer toy Weber.
Wagner's wildness -on the
throwing end and the Kappa Sig
fielding on all ends led to the
Taus eight runs. Wagner struck
out Jour, tout -walked ten. Bick
turned dn a better performance to
this .department, striking out six
and walking four, but 15 nits
cannot be overlooked.
Mnuk lieads
Mnuk led the winning totters
with a home run and three
singles. Schaberg added two
doubles to his home run wallop
and Wagner also got a homer
and a single.
Jones and Weber each got a
four-nagger for the losers and
Veil Scott's single was Che only
other Tau safety.
Delta Sigma Phi became -one of
the top Jour fraternity -outfit an
Softball by dropping Brown Pal
ace. -2. The Delta Sig sluggers,
who had -maasucred Acacia 80-1)
with 1 hits the week before,
were toned -down considerably
but did 'bang -out eight safeties
including five extra-base blows
to cop the decision.
Broad Jumpers to Be Busy
During Big-Seven Carnival
At least four broad-jumpers
will be busier than a telephone
line to the girls' dorm in the Big
Seven track and field sweep
stakes here this weekend and
their activity won't be confined
to the jumping pit.
The quartet of leap-frogs,
who'll have few challengers for
the "hard-workingest" sobriquet,
include: Herb Hoskins, Kansas
State's 1950 titlist; Quanah Cox
and Jimmy Smith, Oklahoma's
handy-andy twosome; and Lad
die Stovall, competent Missouri
veteran.
If Kansas' Bob DeVinney joins
the jumping clique, he'll not yield
one whit to the others In versa
tility; however, the Jayhawk jun
ior, just ten weeks out of the
hospital after an appendectomy,
may compete only in the sprints
and hurdles.
Use of Hoskins in the sprints
he finished fourth in the outdoor
100 last year is clouded by the
fact that a bad ankle sprain may
limit his competition to the broad
jump. The Purple jack-in-the-box,
who packed away 1950 laur
els with a 24-ft 24 -inch span,
has altered his style to spring off
his sound left foot Using the
new take-off, he just barely
scratched two leaps against Kan
sas which were taped at 23-8 and
23-114.
Oklahoma's Cox, holder of the
loop's second-best outdoor Jump
at 24-ft 2-inches, is expected to
double in the 100 and 220. Smith,
his Sooner sidekick, will move
into both hurdle races. Hurtling
23-8V4 at Drake, Smith is best in
the highs with a :14.9 time to his
credit this spring.
Ability of this pair to finish
high i-znong the jumpers, and
then to rack up points in their
sideline events, could boost
Sooner title hopes considerably,
With Missouri's top sprinters
ment test wilL
The conference was basing its
first reason on the basis of the
last wTar when the Nebraska
squad consisted largely of young
and inexperienced high school
graduates who were able to earn
Varsity letters during their first
year.
Draft Laws, Reserves' Help
But this situation should not
develop at the present time with
the new draft laws, reserve units
and ROTC
And the average freshman will
not have the ability to step into
big-time competition during their
first year. It is rather difficult
to imagine an 18-year old re
placing Bobby Reynolds fa the
backfield.
The second reason for revising
the eligibility rule is undoubtedly
sound. The average prepster
would tend to enroll where the
grass was the greenes.

Buff Hopes
On Kelley
Anybody here seen Kelley?
Ask that question of any Colo
rado track fan, aaI the prompt
reply, accompanied by a direc
tional thumb, would be:
"He went thataway."
The reference, of course, is to
Dole Kelley, the Big Seven's
newest dash sensation. He cur
rently shares marquee billing
with Thane Baker, the sopho
more specter from Kansas State,
and Boulderites already are lik
ening the 155-pound swifty to
Don Campbell, the Buffs' illus
trious sprinter of two seasons
back.
Kelley now is one-up on
Baker, after flashing home ahead
of the Wildcat ace in the Colo
rado Relays century three weeks
ago.
Originally a Southerner, but
now residing in El Monte, Calif,
Kelley enrolled at Colorado on
the recommendation of his high
school coach. Completely unim
pressed by frequent Rocky Moun
tain snowfalls, he admittedly
yearns to be back "where the
j oranges grow."
Some Big Seven coaches, duly
noting Kelley's K59.7 triumph in
the CU Relays, and subsequent
sorties of :09.8 and :09.9, prob
ably would shell out train-fare
to accommodate the warm
blooded Califoroian.
Kelley, however, will travel
east out of Boulder this week

bers of Coach Frank Potts' cinder
delegation to the Big Seven track
and field showdown to be held
