Big 1 Meet
Eighteen track men will re
present the Nebraska in the
twenty-third renewal of the Big
Seven outdoor track meet at Col
umbia, Mo., Friday and Saturday.
Coach Ed Weir's squad, with
injuries and service calls having
cut deeply into its ranks, is de
finitely not considered a threat
to walk off with its second
straight outdoor loop title.
Latest casualty on the Husker
list is Dan Tolman, Indianola,
who will not compete because of
a knee injury.
The Huskers have won one
outdoor meet and lost three this
season.
The team left Lincoln at 8:30
a.m. Thursday.

Events
tiritvi a Hire scarcity of i
point-winners in the weight
events. Kansas will shoot the
works in the races when Big
Seven outdoor track prelimin
aries get under way at 3 p.m.
Friday afternoon.
Qualifiers will have their in
nings in ten events Friday. The
finals on Saturday begin at 1:30
p.m. , .
The Jayhawks will send their
distance stalwart Herb Semper
and hurdler Jack Greenwood af
ter double-barrelled conquests in
their pet races this weekend
and if their mission is successful,
Coach Bill Easton's squad will be
off and running in the meet's
twenty-third outdoor renewal.
Needs Punch
Kansas sorely needs this pair's
best punch to stake out a wind
fall in the running events, inas
much as field returns may be
slim. Last year at Lincoln, K. U.
placed third in the conference
with 83 V points, and 78 of this
total was amassed on the track.
Jayhawk field hopes are not
much brighter this week. Unless
crridrtpr Chuck Hoae figures in
the discus, the Lawrence entry
could be shut out in every event
except tne poie-vaun ana mgn
jump.
On the cinders, it's another
thing. Semper should be an even
bet against Mizzou's Bill McGuire
in the mile, and odds-on to de
fend his two-mile dynasty. As
for Greenwood's chances, hurdle
eggs can't be counted before their
hatched, but the smooth K. U.
stick specialist is a sound young
man on whom to rely.
Semper and Greenwood are the
only top -combination off the
same squad capable of cranking
out a double victory. Greenwood
will have to wade through a
heavy field -which includes a
quartet of able M. U. hurdlers;
Hi Faubion and Dick Knostman,
Kansas State; Don Bedker,, Neb
raska; and Dick Jones and Jim
Smith, Oklahoma.
No Favorites in
Big 7 Carnival
More .than 150 of the Big
Seven's top trackmen will shed
their warmups at Columbia, Mo.,
Friday and Saturday keyed to
produce the greatest collective set
of track performances ever turned
in on Rollins Field for a single
meet.
Preliminaries in all events ex-
wnt tho mile, two-mile. tole
vault, high jump and mile relay
will start at 3 p.m. t naay, wnn
Saturday's finals beginning at
1:30 p.m.
There is no prevailing choice
for the title in this twenty-third
conference meet, which has Mis
souri hosting its first major out
door track show in 35 years. Most
forecasters, cowed perhaps by
disastrous picks in the Kentucky
Derby, won't commit themselves
further than to say that the ulti
mate team champion will wear
the colors of Oklahoma, Missouri
or Kansas.
Oklahoma partisans can point
to the Sooners' all-events strength,
their exploits this spring, and
their swarm of likely 1-2-3 place
getters, especially in the middle
Mizzou backers like the squad's
overall Balance, distance person
nel, and are hopeful that a pair of
ailing sprinters Byron Clark and
Pnnrtv Vanet can nick off points.
Fans leaning to the Jayhawks
deplore the Kansans' lack of field
event giants, but look for the
Herb Semper-Jack Greenwood
duo to dominate the distance runs
tnA hurdles Thev also count on
stout help from Bob DeVinney,
multiple-event star, and a com
petent stable oi racers.
r;irjW( rtt deraneine the ton-
three finish are dark-horse squads
from Nebraska the 1950 -cham
pion Kansas State and Coioraao.
Too thin in many places, Iowa
State is not rated a contender.
Semper should swing one lick
in revising three conference rec
ords slated for a tumble this
weekend. Without undue strain,
he should get tinder his 9:21 win
the two-mile last vear. The
same is true of Nebraska's Don
Cooper ,the 15-foot vaulter Who
needs only to surpass the 14-ft.
i-inrvh standard set by Bill Car
roll of Oklahoma in 1949. The
Sooners' mile relay team can
scrap the third mark of 3:17.6,
held by Kansas State since 1936.
Four other marks are in the
"possible, but not likely" to be
hrnken cateeorv. These include
th nunrtjr f:47.7. the mile
(4:12.6), high jump 6-ft. 7)
and broad jump (24-ft. 8).
AROUND THE LOOP...
THE BENCH WARMER
Star Senior Athletes
Numerous in Big 7
By Shirley Murphy
Old seniors never die, they just fade away. , , . i
Big Seven senior athletes may fade away, but conference
records will never forget the feats they have accomplished.
One of Nebraska's noteworthy sophisticates (seniors, that is)
is Don Cooper, champion pole-vaulter. Cooper is the first col
legian to clear 15 feet out-of-doors in the vault. He holds the
world indoor vault record of 14-9 on a dirt runway. Cooper has
cleared the 14 foot bar, nine times.
Jayhawker Herb Semper has the title of greatest two-miler
in Big Seven history. The KU ace holds the Big Seven record in
this event, a record which even chalks us as being one of the na
tion's greatest.
Ernie Barrett of K-State paced his basketball team to Big
Seven conference champion's title. He and his teammates came
out second in the nation, while Barrett himself was Ail-American.
Among the outstanding senior sportsmen at Oklahoma is Harry
Moore. 'Moore was co-captain and star offensive center of the
Sooner football team. Sooners were Big Seven football champs
and rated top team in the nation. Moore is also all-conference
center.
His high school coach said he'd never be a college jumper.
He just didn't have what it takes! Missouri's Laddie Stovall went
to college and really showed him. He is one of their best broad
jumpers and has neared 24 feet during his jumping career.
v
Billy Weeks is a senior star from Iowa State. He played quar
terback on the football team and gained recognition as one of the
best college passers in the nation last year. Weeks holds Big Seven
and national passing records. He received Ail-American honorable
mention.
Wayne Tucker is Colorado's all-conference basketball player.
He was this year's leading scorer with 288 points, and thusly an
all-time Buff great.
Many more Big Seven senior athletes rate recognition, too.
To all of them, we wish the best the future holds. Next year, other
conference stars will shine out as they did this year. We can look
forward to the feats of Clyde Lovellette, KU; Jim Buchanan, Ne
braska; Bob Brown, ISC; Elmer Creviston, K-State; Merwin HodeL
Colorado; Byron Clark, Missouri; and Sooner Bill Vessels.
By Bob Banks
Another chapter in the history
of Cornhusker athletics is rapidly
drawing to a close.
The only things that remain
now are the conference golf, ten
nis and outdoor track meets which
will be run off Friday and Satur
day plus a two-game baseball se
ries with Kansas State.
Nebraska has had a full year of
outstanding performers and out
standing teams.
Bobby Reynolds, Mr. Touch
down in 1950 was unanimously
voted AU-Amencan honors as a
sophomore.
Franny Nagie made me Au-uig
Seven grid team at quarterback
and directed the West team to
victory in the East-West Shrine
game.
Coach Bill Glassford produced
a team which was second only to
Oklahoma in the conference. His
gridders had one of the highest
powered offenses in the nation.
Nebraska is very fortunate to
have as fine a grid mentor as
Glassford. We should do every
thing in our power to keep him
here for a long time.
Carers Falter
The basketball team did not
fare so well as far as a high con
ference rating is concerned. But
Bob Pierce more than outdid
himself in setting a new seasonal
scoring record of 384 points.
Sophomores Bob Mercier and
Joe Good were among the out
standing first-year men in the
conference.
Ed Weir's indoor cindermen
won the conference track title.
They were spearheaded by such
performers as Don Cooper, Hobe
Jones. Wendy Cole, Len KehL Lee
Alexander and Dan Tolman.
The swimming team did not ac
complish any outstanding feats,
but it was on a par with those of
other years.
Herb Reese was one of the best
heavyweight wrestlers in the na-

Twelve Nebraska athletes are
preparing an all-star team that
will tour the midwest this sum
mer. The team has adopted the
name of the "College Professors."
Exhibition games will be sched
uled in Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota. The names of the team
members have been withheld
from publication until the final
roster cut has been administered.
The squad will don regular
baseball uniforms for their games.
In pre-game warm-ups, it will
wear mortar board hats to signify
their college intelligence and edu
cation.
The team will start its barn
storming tour August 1. It will
end its games in time for foot
ball team members to return ome
and ready themselves for the Cur
tiss training camp.

tion and won all of his matches
during the season. Only an in
jury kept him from the NCAA
tourney.
Dnnavan Stan
The gymnastics squad were led
by Al Dunavan, one of the ablest
performers Nebraska has ever
had.
The outdoor track team was
nipped in the bud by the draft
and injuries. But Cooper still
brought national fame to the state
by clearing 15 feet in the pole
vault.
Cornhusker golfers swept
through a difficult schedule with
only one defeat. Coach Marvin
Franklin described it as "one of
the best teams he had ever tutored."
Coach Ed Higginbotham's net
men ran astray of the victory
road. They failed to win a single
meet all season.
Only next year can tell whether
Nebraska will be able to improv e
over the 1950-51 decord. The foot
ball team will be loaded with
speedy backs. But there still re
mains the problem of findino; a
new offensive line from tacide
to tackle.
Real Pleasure
The sports staff has sincerely
enjoyed covering both the Ne
braska wins and defeats during
the past academic year. We have
found it to be a real pleasure.
But like everything else, there
comes a day when even the Daily
Nebraskan takes a rest.
Congratulations to the gradu
ating seniors, good luck on finals,
and a happy summer to alL

Injured Tiger Sprinters
May Hamper MU Title Bid
Minoso, Busby
Mantle Lead
New Players
The best rookies of the 1951
baseball season seem to be out
fielders. Tops among them are Orestes
Minoso and Jim Bushby of the
Chicago White Sox and Mickey
Mantle of the New York Yankees.
Minoso was obtained in a trade
between the White Sox and the
Cleveland Indians. He was bat
tig .373 during the early part of
the month.
Busby was hitting the apple at
a .360 pace and led both leagues
in stolen bases with nine.
Mantle had a .301 average and
was second only to Vic Wertz
in the runs-batted-in depart
ment. He has accumlated 22.
The four standouts in the Na
tional league are Pitcher Bob
Schultz of the Chicago Cubs who
has won three and lost two,
Pitcher Tom Poholsky of the St.
Louis Cardinals who has a 2-0
record, Catcher Ray Noble of the
New York Giants, and Catcher
Ed St. Claire of the Boston Brave.
Kerosene. Is Best
Crabgrass Killer
Kerosene is still the recom-
i mendation for crabgrass control
! on lawns, say wed specialists at
the University.
They say, however, that an ap
plication of kerosene should not
be made on lawns before June
1. They recommend two to three
quarts per square Tod when tem
perature is below 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fitness of two question-mark
sprinters, Randy Vanet and By
ron Clark, is the large "if" in
Missouri's quest of its fourth con
ference outdoor championship in
five years on the Tigers' home
cinders this weekend.
Both good dash-men, Vanet and
Clark have been troubled by leg
ailments. Vanet's occurred just
last week, while Clark pulled a
muscle just before the indoor Big
Seven meet, and hasn't run a
competitive race outdoors. He ran
thiud in the 100 at Lincoln last
May.
Vanet pulled up lame in a
workout a few days after winning
the 440 against Notre Dame in
:48.5. His ability to place in that
specialty this Saturday would
help offset Oklahoma's expected
harvest in the quarter.
With these sprinters ready,
Mizzou would field a solid squad.
The Tigers have enough depth
and talent to count in all but one
or two events. Their hurdling is
stacked four-deep, their distance
entries strong, and coverage in all
field events except the pole-vault
is quite capable.
