Mizzou Traclcsters Lose
Stars; Huskers Take Note
when his trackmen won the
Big Seven outdoor title here" last
spring, Missouri Coach Tom Botts
was properly elated, but ' also
imndrul of another day.
"Niorj to win this one," was
Bott'g reaction. "There may be
a Ion; winter ahead."
He was referring, of course, to
me cnniy prospect or taking on
the 1952 track schedule, minus
many of his point- getting sen
iors. Now the "long winter" is
here, and gone are such reliable
standbys as: Bill McGuire, two
time indoor mile champion and
the outdoor king at both distances
last year; Laddie Stovall, confer
ence outdoor broad-jump titlist in
1951: Randy Vanet, veteran ouar-
termiler; Pete Gallup, half-miler
who enlisted in the Naval Air
Corps; Frank Bardot, hurdler; and
Phil Brusca, shotputter.
These are the tough-to-re-place
losses of the 11 lettermen
who finished up. Still on the
rolls are 11 veteran holdovers,
but only two of these Bob Fox
and Harold Carter placed in
the Big Seven indocr carnival'
last winter.
v On paper, at least the Tigers
can put up a respectable, if not
a formidable front. In most events,
they are weaker than a year ago
New faces should help, but the
sophomore flock is sub-standard,
nnd the freshmen just so-so. Only
three state champions are listed
$mong the yearlings.
Botts very frankly has seen
better times. Over the past five
years, the 48-year-old track
teacher has led the Tigers to
six of ten possible outdoor and
Indoor championships. Two
other times the Mlssourlans
finished second. Time, perhaps,
for Botts to rest on his laurels,
"We'll need continued Im
provement and inspirational
performances to be any kind of
a contender," the Mizzou coach
says.
The Tigers, open their indoor
track season this Saturday in a
meet with Nebraska at Lincoln.
Coach Ed Weir's Huskers knocked
, off Iowa State, 64-40, in their first
outing last week.
Expected to carry the heavy
load for Missouri's track squad
are such lettermen as: Byron
Clark, 60-yard dash; John
Boucher, Larry Steinrauf and
Warren Tuttle, quartermile; Bill
Fessler and Carter, hurdles;
Berton McVay, 880; Bob Lind
quist, mile; Fox and Jerry Pi
per, two-mile; and Bob Gorden,
high jump.
As a whole, this is a fair-to-middlin'
nucleus, but lacking in
many top-flighters, so vital in
conference meets. If his lame leg
holds up, Clark should be among
the loop's top sprinters. The sen
ior won the indoor dash crown
as a sophomore, tying the meet
record of :06.2 in a preliminary
heat. After pulling a leg muscle
in the Kansas dual last winter,
Clark was idle for the rest of the
year.
Carter, the football halfback,
is another potential standout
who must regain his sophomoric
edge to stay up with the leaders.
Back in 1950, he flashed over
the lows twice in :06.9.

Assistant Snorts Editor
Nebraska's swimmers will get
tneir second test of the season
Friday when they meet Denver
university in the Coliseum dooI.
The dual, the first home engage
ment for Coach Hollie Lepley's
Husker squad, is scheduled to be
gin at 3:45 p.m.
Coach Bob Seymour's Denver
team will be after their fourth
consecutive victory of the sea
son. The squad's win streak in
cludes duals with Colorado
State and Colorado Mines, and
the Wyoming University Invi
tational. Denver's chief strength is con
centrated in the free-style events
and diving. Don Brown, a fresh
man, surpassed the Skyline con
ference record in the 100-yard
fres style in one of Denver's vic
tories this season.
The Huskers lost their season
opener to Kansas by a slim 49-44
margin on Jan. 12 at Lawrence.
Denver U. meets Kansas at
Lawrence Thursday, en route to
Lincoln.
Following Saturday's dual
with Denver, the Cornhuskers
travel to Ames for a meet with
the Iowa State Cyclopes, de
fending Big Seven champions.
Coach Lepley rates this clash
as "probably the toughest of the
season" for the Husker splash
ers. The Cyclones have not lost a
conference dual meet in 22 starts.
Their last loss was to Kansas State
in 1941, when they were set back
by a slim 40-44 defeat. The same
teams tied in 1942. Since that tie,
Iowa State has handed the Wild
cats eight straight defeats.
Last year's Cyclone - Husker
meet ended in a 58-26 win for
Coach Jack McGuire's team. Bob
Brown, Big Seven sprint cham
pion and the nation's second best
college 50 and 100-yard free style
swimmer last year, is again en
the Iowa State team.

Sports Staff Writer
Take a look at the current state high school basketball picture.
It looks something like a surrealistic painting all scrambled up.
For instance, there's the Class A mess. Omaha Benson has
beaten Omaha Tech. Tech has beaten Creighton Prep, and Prep
administered a shellacking to Omaha Benson. So who's on top?
To fomplicate matters, Lincoln high and Lincoln Northeast have
also come up with co., tending clubs Lincoln's only loss has been to
Omaha Tech while the Rockets have dropped a pau', one to the I inks
and one to Creighton Prep,
The whole thing settles down to a battle between Lincoln and
Omaha. But the question is, which schools?
Listed below are some of the top schools In Class A in the state:
Omaha Benson (7-1) Lincoln Northeast (8-2)
Omaha Tech (6-3) North Platte (8-2)
Creighton Prep (7-3) Norfolk (5-2)
Boys Town (4-5) Hastings (5-3)
Lincoln High (8-1) Fairbury (7-2)
Some of the other promising outfits In Class A circles are Scotts-
bluff, Grand Island and, if they can
year, Fremont. V
Generally, the Class A crop is not up to par this year, al
though the race Is close all around. Some of the top A ball players
are Don Sirles of Omaha Central, Ron Smith and John Morris of
Benson, Glen Sullivan of Tech, C. W. Perry and Dean Sloan of
Lincoln high, Northeast's Ken Forbes and Larry Gay of Grand
Island.
The Class B fight is also somewhat confused', but the top teams
seem to be Minden, Seward, Cozad,
Also showing promise are Mitchell
teams had met each other until last
supremacy by downing Cozad.
In Class C, Hildreth, the former Class D champ, Is showing the
way over Chappell, Gibbon and St. Cecelia of Hastings, while
Sutton and Wllber also show promise. Hildreth Is undefeated while
Chappell has dropped only one clash, a 32-30 loss to Sidney.
In Class D action, Uehling leads the pack with a 15-2 record,
including their tournament victories.

lalcup's Tigers Hoping
To Break First-Half Jinx
By TOM BECKER
Sports Staff Writer
In their last five starts, the Mis
souri basketball squad has aver
aged just under 23 points in the
first half. This is far below what
it should be to win games in this
day and age. Their record is 8i
wins and 7 losses. I
The Tigers usually rally in 1
the second half but have lost
three close ones to Iowa State
57-55, Kansas 60"59,' and Okla- j
homa, 47-45.
Missouri's first half field goal,
average in the five games were
Iowa State 26, Kansas 23, I
Drake 18, Oklahoma 15, and
Colorado 20 .
"We simply can't afford any
more first-half, lapses against
such a high-scoring team as Ne
braska," Stalcup asserts. "They
are averaging in the mid-sixties,
and we'll need all the of
fenses we can drum up to match
their iark."
Bill Stauffer, the Tigers nomi
nee for all Big Seven, is the tall
est man on the team and the high
scor.tr. He is also a capable re
bounder." v " ; ',"

Intramural Sports Columnist
Alpha Tau Omega is the king
pin of the intramural basketball
chase in the first I-M ratings of
the year. The Taus, winners in
their first six league starts, are
the number one cage team in the
University as all competition
rounds out their first rouna or
play.
The ATD's added two more
scalps to their belts last week as
they trounced Sigma Nu, 47-30,
and Kappa Sigma, 50-31. Their
only close brush with a possible
loss this season was a Jan. 8
contest with Phi Kappa Psi that
saw the Taus winning, 24-19.
Only that one loss mars the
Phi Psi record to date, and the
Grand Island whizzes enter the
first rankings in the number two
position. The current Phi Psi
record stands at 5-1, including
two lop-sided wins over Kappa
Sigma and Alpha Gamma Rho
last week by scores of 62-28 and
86-32. The 86 tallies in the lat
ter game established a new
term scoring record for this
year.
The unbeaten Rockets, giant of
the Independents, sits comfortably
in the number three spot, this
week. The Rocket record sports
five wins including a 62-41 romp
over the Warriors last week.
Another fraternity outfit, Sigma
Phi Epsilon, edges into fourth
place this week. The Sig Eps, al
though undefeated in six starts,
owns three wins with a margin of
victory of two or less points.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, only a
cne-point loser to the Sig Eps, is
this week's number five cage out
fit. The Sig Alphs added another
win during the week, a shaky
41-39 speaker over Delta Tau
Delta.
The Delts top the second di
vision as this week's sixth place
outfit. The only team in the top
ten with two losses against
hem, the Delts are far . from
having been disgraced. Their
losses, two points to SAE and
three points in an overtime to
the Sig Eps, stamp them as
plenty powerful. The Delts were
extra busy during the week. In
addition to absorbing the loss at.
the hands of the SAE's, they
were smacking Phi Delta Theta,
41-33 and smothering Theta Xi,
39-5.
Newman Club, top Interdenom-
iinational outfit and undefeated in
four contests, enters the initial
ratings on the seventh rung. The

The Aggies avenged their only loss
in eight games by dunking pre
viously unbeaten Doan Nuts,

The Dorm A Comets squeeze
into the number four slot this
week. The Comets, supposedly
Dorm A's second string team, has
been reversing the forms all the
way and own a 25-23 win over
their companion, the Stars, in
their 4-1 record. Last week the
Comets throttled Dorm B-C and
