THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Bedker Picked To Take Hurdles ECU Tsibfe trowel) Thursday, February 28, 1952 Wditd The University of Kansas will win the Big Seven Indoor track meet! The Dally 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 cominf 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 Titers 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 Mile run High Hurdles Low Hurdles High Jump Broad Jump Pole Cault Shot Put Mile Relay 0 4 7 4 110 4 0 7 5 3 0 0 0 0 0 VA 5 0 4 334 0 4 0 1 0 0 5 5 0 4 5 3 2 10 Totals 29H 39 36 26?i 27 1 13 Wildcats with 26 points. Colo rado will nudf e out Iowa State with its 13 points arainst the Cyclone's 74. 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 treat 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 touch 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 urw in rail 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 Wildcat ace. Thane Baker and Oklahoma's Jerry Mashburn, a freshman. Charles CliH Rogers lops Scoring In Intramural Cliff Rogers of the Ag YMCA has taken over the intramural bas ketball scoring lead going into the playoffs. Rogers tops all the cage acorers with 213 points 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 acorinr Is 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 Rambler all finished far out of conten tion. The first fraternity scorer, Jim Weber of Farm House, ranks seventh in the AU-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 Psi with 134. Chuck Hnestin of Dorm B-C rounds out the top tea with 127 points. Sportettes By DENNY BOHRER WAA Sports Columnist Out of the hundred girls that en tered the intramural tennis tour nament, only three girls remain in the tournament. Jean Bhcken staff defeated Joyce Laase 21 to three in the semi-finals, and Pat Wiedman defeated Wanda Barrett 21-13 and 21-10 to enter the finals. Carol French played Jean Bhcken staff in a semi-final game last night, and the winner plays Pat Wiedman in the finals tonight. Coleman of Oklahoma and "Snuffy" Smith of Kansas should finish in that order. The half mile should provide one of the hottest races of the day. Kansas' flashy distance starlet, Wes Santee, should cop top honors from Crabtree of Oklahoma. Towers of K-State, Art Dalzeli, Kansas sophomore and Reed of Oklahoma should come in that order. Santee will return to take the mile blue ribbon from his run' nine mate. Herb Semoer. Lee Moore of Nebraska will pick up inira piace points, followed by Bob Fox of Missouri and Clayton scow of .Nebraska. Semper will find that Scott will five him a run for his money in the two mile, but the experienced senior from the sunflower state would surprise none if he turned in a new con ference record. Don Bedker is the top candi date for 60 yard high hurdle honors. Bob Fessler of Missouri, Hi Faubion of Kansas State, Mer win Hodel of Colorado and Bob Devinney of Kansas should rank in that order come string-breaking time. Devlnney's talent truly lies in the 60 yard low hurdles. He has been unbeatable in that race By BILL MTJNDELLj Intramural Sports Columnist "Look out below," was the basketball cry Tuesday night as the I-M cage game continued its pace of upsets and kept the heads of the leading teams rolling down to the masses. Sigma Alpha Ep silon and Sigma Phi Epsilon, both doped to 'have a lot to say about the crowning of an All-University champion, felt the axe again. Delta Tau Delta, still smarting from the first contest with SAE, was out to get the Sig Alpha. They got them! The Delts let the favorites set 'the pace and kept within shooting distance. Going into the final period with the SAE's leading, 33-32, it waatime to fire. Seven baskets by the Delts in those waning moments by George! Paynich. Ray Mladovich, Max1 Kennedy and Dave Olson were too. much for the Sig Alphs who could! count only on the consistency of Bill Wenke. The final score went into the books as 46-44, Delta Tau Delta. 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. ThA Kio- Alnh loss pave 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 the Sig Eps, 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 Delts owned a nine-point bulge and with the game in the bag, pro ceeded to throw the bail away. Tbey stopped the foolishness, however, just in time because the Sig Eps were still flinging ! basketbaU. Big Bill Giles tells the story of this content Giles couldn't miss as he hit well over 50 of his tosses for an evening's total of 22. The next Phi Delt scorer was Stan Garlach with six. i The winners took command at the beginning only to see the Sig Eps roar back to hold a 19 18 halfetime margin.

Bed ker will be breathing down his neck, followed by Carter of three-quarter mark it was 27-24, Sig Ep, but that was enough fooling around for the Phi Delts. Giles personally accounted for eight counters in the run-away fourtth as the Phi Delt lead grew to 36-27 and the game was won. o Dave Brandon topped the losing scorers with 12, followed by Al Hansen with ten. Sigma Chi almost kept pace with the SAE's and Sig Eps. They met Phi Gamma Delta, the last-place team in league I, and barely squeezed through to gain the playoffs, 27-26. It was a close contest all the way with the Sigs fighting to make the play offs and the Fijis battling to show the Delts and Phi Delts that they could do it too. They al most did. Scott Emerson, Fiji guard topped the evening's point-getting with ten points followed by Dick Cordell of the Sigs with eight. Lepfue II, not to be outdone, also . .tve forth with a surpriser. Beta Theta PL, making a late bid for the playoffs after resting in last place for most of the season, pushed Alpha Tau Omega, the University's second-ranking team, 43-44 before falling. Only the consistent scoring of Doug Dale and Al Blessing who got 12 and ten, respectively, kept the Taus above water. Tom Healey led the Betas with 11 counters and Tom Harrington grabbed ten. Delta Upsilon kept its playoff hopes alive with a 41-25 win over Alpha Gamma Rho. A DU win over the ATO's Wednesday coupled with a Beta loss to ACR,i will put the DU's in a three-way ( tie for fourth in league II with the Betas and Kappa Sigs. Tom Tolen led the DC attack with It points while Engel topped the Aggies with eight. o The Kappa Sigs lost a chance to clinch a playoff berth by blow ing their game to Sigma Nu, 32-57. In winning the Nu s finished the regular season in league II third place.

It dgesn't take a genius to see that the Jayhawks and the Soon ers will be monopolizing on the points in the middle and distance races. Kansas will earn 23 points from those races and Oklahoma 17. Nebraska picks ud 8. Kansas State 7, Missouri 5 and the other two schools are shut out. In the field events, the tale of team balance will tell. The Sooners will hold the edge over the Jayhawks in this depart ment, with their only weakness in the pole vault event. Neville Price, dapper young Sooner sophomore, will walk off with broad jumping honors. Here could well be another record breaking performance. Vert Switzer of Kansas State, Glenn Beerline of Nebraska, , Irv Thode of Nebraska and Quanah Cox of Oklahoma should complete the list of win ners in the kangaroo event. Colorado's Holley should walk off with high jumping honors. The Buffalo aerial artist has been over 6 feet 4 inches consistently this year. Bon Gorden and Dick Jones of Missouri and Oklahoma respectively, will battle it out for second and third, with the nod going to Gorden. am ugh fart Today ledger. Bob Roeser, Lyle Altman and Howard Herbst all tallied ten for the victors. Ed Berg was the Kappa Sig attack with eight counters. Cornhusker Co-op and the Den tal Freshmen won according to schedule. The Coco boys drubbed Zeta Beta Tau, 27-19 while the Frosh were trouncing the Pill Rollers, 42-23. Cornhusker's scoring was evenly distributed with Lester Demmel and Jack Litteras each garnering six. Arnie Stern again contributed the majority of the Zestes scoring by notching nine. The Dents' win clinched second spot in league XI for the teethies. Gordon Pejsar and Don Downs each tallied ten points for the winners while Dick Doe ring topped the Pills with nine. Brown Palace handed a play spot to Acacia in league DU by drubbing Tau Kappa Epislon, 37-29. A Teke win would have given them a tie with the Ma sons for fourth spot in that league . The Palacers controlled the game for most of the way. It was 12-11 Brown Palace at the quar ter and 20-20 at half time. The Pal acers owned another margin going into the final period, 28-25, and breezed on in to the victory. Louis Schoen topped the victors attack with 11 points while Gary Jones potted eight for the Tekes. The Rockets finished their regu lar season undefeated by downing the Lillies, 38-31. They, with New man CluO, M-Street Boys, Farm House "A" and Farm-House "B" are the only unbeaten outfits go ing into thf playoffs. The Lillies jumped to an 8-5 first quarter lead but soon wilted under the heavy scoring of Sockets Lenny Wilson and Rog Beals. Going into the final ten minutes the Rockets held a com manding 30-17 lead. Wilson and Beals topped the winning scorers with 17 and 12 counters while Clark Bettcke led the Lillies with 13 points.
