ECansas favored To Win lig evn iiHx9oor Crown By MARSHALL KUSIINER Sports Editor The University of Missouri will have a hard time retaining their Big Seven conlcrence outdoor track championship. All information points to a Uni versity of Kansas victory in this Saturday's track and field cham pionship at Norman, Okla. Hie Jayhawks won their last outdoor title in Lincoln when they nudged out Nebraska in the 1946 meet. The Oklahoma Sooners and Kansas State Wildcats will prob ably end up fighting it out for the runner-up spot in the final stand ings. The Sooners are loaded with top quartermilers and are fairly solid in almost all events. The Wildcats will again depend on their individual standouts to carry the burden of the load. The Cornhuskers of Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado and Iowa State will probably all be fight ing for first division money, with the real battle coming from the first three teams. This year's meet will prob ably have one of the finest 440 yard dash fields in conference history and it is quite conceiv able that a record might result from this race. The Oklahoma Sooners have four excellent entries in the quar termile and the Bill Easton's Kan sas team will enter several fine runners. Adding the name of Thane Baker, the race could prove very close. Baker will undoubtedly prove one of the outstanding pertormers of the meet. He will be shooting for the records in tlte 100-yard dash (9.4) and 220-yard dash (21.3). He has covered the latter route in 20.8 seconds this year. The mile relay record is also in jeopardy. Kansas and Oklahoma will renew their clash for su premacy in this event. The two teams have met in the Drake, Texas and Kansas relays this sea son and the Jayhawks lame out on top each time. Easton's West Santee and Herb Semper will be out after the mile and two mile records. Santee, the sensational sopho more, has run a 4:07.3 mile this year and the carrot-top Semper will be out to better his old mark. Neville Price will be out for the board Jump title and he'll find , tough competition in this event. iPrice.has cracked the 25-foot mnric mis year and will cope with threats from Verly Swltzer and Gene Wilson of Kansas State and Glenn Beerline and Irv Thode of Nebraska. Nebraska's main hopes for blue ribbon honors lie In senior hurd ler ler from North Platte, Don Bedker. Bedker has two of the best times in the conference in the timber-topping races. Norman will also be the host to the conference golf and tennis championhips. The Sooners won both crowns last year and from all appearances, they will be in a three-way brawl for links honors with Iowa State and Nebraska. Only 2 Games In Natl. League Only two games are on tap for the major leagues and both will be staged in. the senior circuit. The firing was liot and heavy over the major league course as all teams took part in Sunday doubleheaders. In the National league, the Philadelphia Phillies will travel to Ebbetts Field to meet the rough and tumble Brooklyn Dodgers of Charley Dressen. The roughed and tumbling Pittsburgh Pirates will play the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley field. The Bucs, in somewhat of a chronic slump, will be out to bring the Cubs down to their level. The Cubs have been a "Cinder ella" team during the early part of the National league season. In the American league there are no games scheduled because of all teams travelling. NU Linksmen Drop Second Match To Is The Nebraska golf team took its second defeat of the year, 11 9, at the hands of the Iowa State "lib-ervnt of AmAc loot TTriHnv The Cyclones are one of the leading contenders for the Big Seven golf title this year as they have compiled six wins against no losses.

The Cyclonec whipped the Cornhuskern in a doubleheader, 2-1 and 2-0, at Ames. In the first game of the dou bleheader, Ray Nvak dropped his first loss after winning four straight games for Nebraska. He allowed only three hits, but his teammates were able to garner only six hits off Chuck Luhring of the Cyclones. Jerry Dunn was able to collect two hits, while Bob Reynolds, Bob Diers, Bill Giles and Murry Back haus got one hit apiece. The Cyclones scored both runs in the fourth fnnlng while the Huskers picked up their lone tally in the seventh. r A beautiful catch by substitute outfielder Seeverson of Iowa State saved the Cyclones in the second game of the twin bill. Seeverson snagged a long drive to right field by Ray Mladovlch and then doubled ' Milt FreL at home after the tremendous catch. The sacks were full when Seev erson performed his little miracle. In the second game, Pat Mai lette, Diek McCormick and Franny Hofmaler combined to throw a nice four-hitter at their hosts, but the Huskers were held to a scant two hits. I.pftfiplHer Dick Chrlstouh and centerfielder Bob Diers were the two Nebraska batters able to get ' ( V "til ' '':-- Resignations Of Mehring, Hideout Effective June 30; Schneider Named Trainer Neal Mehring, assistant coach at the University of Nebraska since 1948, has resigned to accept a government position, Athletic Director George Clark announced Saturday.

Nebraslcan Overpowers Cornhusker By STAFF OBSERVER Superior hitting, pitching and reserve strength enabled The Dally Nebraskan staff to set back a weak Cornhusker staff team, 10-2 Friday at the annual publica tions picnic. The game was packed with the excitement of clean com petition, although the Nebras kans had a great manpower ad vantage. George Wilcox, who started on fhA mnunri for The Nehraskan staff, was the winning pitcher,! while Don Noble of The Corn husker was the loser. Both twirl ers were relieved early in the contest. The Daily Nebraskan grabbed an early point advantage in their half of the first inning when Bob Reichenbach led off with a single and was sent home on Wilcox's double. Dale Reyn olds' triple and score later in the frame put the Nebraskans well in the lead. Other leading Nebraskan par ticipants were Frank Munk, Don Pieper, Jerry Robertson, Sue Gor ton, Ed Berg, Jan Steffen, Ken Rystrom and Arnie Stern. Cornhusker standouts were J. Benedict, Marty Lewis, Gene Johnson, Barbara Bell, Julie Johnson, Jim Adams, Dick Billig and Dick Ralston. Two plate umpires officiated for the game in order to dis pense iwth all argument. They were Mary Lou Flaherty and Sallv Hall. Cnrnhnskrr Ami Ne braskan staff members, respec tively. The game was a revengeful one for The Daily Nebraskan staff, which lost to The Cornhusker team last year. i. in f ' it u , 'f A ' t H'i . 4 ' J I k -f J T'-- irt J L nurtciy The Lincoln Mate Journal BOB DIERS . . . The Cornhusk ers centerfielder was the only member of Coach Toiy Sharpe's team to collect a hit in both games against Iowa State. Diers got 2-5 in the series. to Charles Stone for hits. The weather was damp and cold at Ames for the teams but did not effect the caliber af play In either tilt. Both teams played good ball and errors were conspicuous for their absences in both games. Stone drew credit for the win ' and credit for striking out 11 batters. Pat Mallette, right handed ace of Coach Tony Sharpe, took the loss. The two losses left the Huskers far arears the league leading Mis souri Tigers. The Tigers have e might rugged schedule to com plete before they can sew up the title however, Oklahoma, last year's confer ence champs and National Col legiate Athletic association kings, will play host to the Tigers at Norman, Okla., and Nebraska rooters will have their fingerg crossed. But before the Missourlans journey to Soonerland they must battle the Huskers. A double header between Nebraska and Missouri Is slated for Monday and Tuesday at Columbia. If the Huskers can win both of these games from the Tigers and provided the Huskers win the rest of their schedule and the Mis sourlans drop a single encounter of their remaining docket, Ne braska can still win the title. The Huskers will be at a large disadvantage since they play one game less than the Tigers this year. Missouri must play Colorado at Boulder. Their only loss was to Kansas State. Fran Hofmaier will probably be given the starting assignment against Missouri Monday and eitner Ray Novak or Charlie Wright will fling against the Tigers Tuesday, Cerv Meets Fence Bobby Cerv, former Univer sity of Nebraska baseball and basketball star, smacked into the left field fence in Yankee stadium Saturday. The New York Yankees' rookie outfielder, playing against Boston, went hard after a long fly ball lofted off the bat of Red Sox pitcher Maurice McDermott. In doing so, Cerv hit the fence going at full speed with the side of his body. Cerv dropped the ball into the sands and it was later ruled a home run. The blow scored three runs for the Bosox. Cerv was badly shaken up as a result of the collision, but walked off the field under his own power. Lewandowski Receives New Chairmanship A. J.
