THE DAILY NEBRASKAN 8 t Bedker Picked To Take Hurdles u Thursday, February 28, 1952 Wooi Cirwni o The University of Kansas will win the Big Seven indoor track meet! The Daily Nebraskan, In mak ing Its annual form chart for the conference carnival, found that the Jayhawks will wind up with 39 points and will have their chief opposition coming from Coach John Jacob's Okla homa Sooners. The Sooners will score Just three points less than the Kansans and will top Nebraska's third place point effort of 29 points. In fourth spot will be Missouri with 27 points. Following closely behind the Tigers will be the Kansas state Form Chart NU,KU,OU,KS,MU,IS, CU 60 yard dash 440 yard dash 880 yard run Mile run 2 Mile run High Hurdles Low Hurdles High Jump Broad Jump Fole Cault Shot Fut Mile Belay 0 4 7 4 110 4 0 7 5 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 3 0 3 4 0 0 2 3 0 3 0 0 4 4 0 0 VM 5 0 4 3 0 4 0 1 0 0 5 5 0 4 5 3 2 10 Totals 29y3 39 36 26 27 7 13 Wildcats with 26 points. Colo rado will nudge out Iowa State with Its 13 points against the Cyclone's 7. The form chart proves that the Kansas City carnival this year will be one of the most closely contested cinder spectacles held for sometime. Less than 13 points divide the first five clubs. There Is, therefore, a possi bility of great upset according to the Nebraska dope sheet. Okla homa, considerably more bal anced than the Jayhawks could just pull another "Nebraska" this year. Last year the Huskers were doomed to sit back and watch the Missouri Tiger track team burn up the cinders, but as it turned out, the Huskers were able to nudge the Tigermen by a scant two points. It's pretty tough to call the meet this year with so many men recovering from injuries. Thus, the balance of our judge ment will depend on the avail ability of many trackmen on the injured list. If we were to call the meet event by event, it would probably look something like this: The 60 yard dash will find Kan sas State's Thane Baker breaking the tape first, with Missouri's Harold Carter close on his heels. Soonerland pride and joy, Quanah Cox will be straining for third place laurels and Kansas State's Taylor and Oklahoma's Price will bring in the fourth and fifth place points. The 440 yard dash should be set aside as an Oklahoma fea ture event. Jerry Meader will take top honors, provided his knee is completely recovered from the Nebraska meet. Struggling closely behind Meader will be the Wildest ace, Thane Baker and Oklahoma's Jerry Mashburn, a freshman. Charles Cliff Rogers mum Tops Scoring In Intramural Cliff Rogers of the Ag YMCA has taken over the intramural bas- Irpthall Rrnrini? lead coine into the playoffs. Rogers tops all the cage Kmrors with 213 nofrlts in. 12 games. He still has two contests, from which the scoring has not been taken as yet, giving him an excellent chance to break the 250 mark. Number two man In scoring fs another Ag league man. Ken Legrand of the Red Guidons has tallied 196 counters to date. Marv Lawton of the Warriors Is third in scoring in the University with a 169-point total and Jim Worth of the Ramblers is fourth with 157 points. Bob Boesiger of the Dorm A Comets rounds out the top five point-getters in I-M basketball with 150 to his credit. It is Interesting to note that three of the top five men will not see any tourney" action be cause their teams failed to qual ify for the playoffs. The Ag YMCA. Warriors and Ramblers all finished far out of conten tion. The first fraternity scorer, Jim Weber of Farm House, ranks seventh in the All-U bracket be hind Phil Haas of the Rockets. Weber has earned 145 tallies while Haas has 147. Eighth man on the scoring top-ten is Al Blessing of Alpha Tau Omega with 139 and ninth Is Bob Bachman of Phi Kappa Psl with 134.

Paynich led all the scoring with an 18-point effort followed by Wenke with 16. Kennedy helped the winning cause with another 12 while Don McArthur boosted the SAE stock with 13 tallies. The Si ir AlDh loss gave the league I lead to Sigma Phi Epsi lon, but the Sig Ephs couldn't keep it chained. Phi Delta Theta snapped a link or two in that chain up upending tne big tps, 36-35. The win was really much easier than the score would indi cate. With only two minutes to go in the contest, the Phi Delta owned a nine-point bulge and with the game in the bag, pro ceeded to throw the ball away. They stopped the foolishness, however, just In time because the Sig Eps were still flinging basketball. Rier Rill Giles tells the story of this contest. Giles couldn't miss as he hit well over 50 of his tosses for an evening's total of 22. The npxt Phi Delt scorer was Stan Garlach with six. The winners took command at the beginning only to see the Sig Eps roar back to hold a 19 18 balfetlme margin.

Gordon Pejsar and Don Downs each tallied ten points for the winners while Dick Doering topped the Pills with nine. Brown Palace handed a play spot to Acacia In league III by drubbing Tau Kappa Eplslon, 37-29. A Teke win would have given them a tie with the Ma sons for fourth spot in that league .

The Pal acers owned another margin going into the final period, 28-25, and breezed on in to the victory.
