THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
iinni
The Nebraska trackmen leave
lor trie Kansas Relays today to
try and garner some individual
prizes zor some top Husker per
formers.
Coach Ed Wier is taking seven
of his top men to Lawrence to
compete in tne annual event.

CLIFF DALE . . . Nebraska's top
performer In the weight divis
ion all season long is this big
powerful shot and discus man,
Cliff Dale. Dale has placed in
every meet he has participated
in this year wnd is expected to
be among the top competitors
this weekend at the Kansas Re
lays. Coach Ed Weir has taken
two other weightmen along with
him to the Relays. Paul Grimm
and Larry Smith are hoping to
garner some points for Nebraska
In the weights also.
mers in the pole vault, Larry
Smith, Paul Grimm, and Cliff
Dale in the weight division, Dan
Tolman and Wendell Cole in the
hurdles, and Glenn Beerline in
the broad jump.
The performances in the weight
division by the three men named
above have garnered many im
portant points for the Wiermen
this year.
The lpck of long distance run
ners and depth in the running
events have caused defeat in most
of the Cornhusker activities this
season.
Two of the seven boys will be
in AAU events. The two boys
that will compete in two events
are Beerline in the hop-skip and
jump and Tolman in the quarter
hurdles. Both events are car
ried on in the international Olym
pics.
Even with the Relays beinc held
this weekend the Huskers are
looking forward to the Drake Re
lays next weekend and the All-
Sports Day, May 2.
By May 2. Coach Weir has hleh
hopes that his top distance and
middle-distance man, Hobe Jones
might be ready to run at least
one race. Jones was injured in
an auto accident at the beginning
of the year and just as it was
healing he had another mishap
in a basketball game which layed
him up in bed again.
The other men who were in
jured on the team are working
out now also.
In preparation for the Drake
Relays, four of the Husker hurd
lers have been working out as
a shuttle relay team. The boy
who has shown the most im
provement on that side of the
fence is Jim Hofstetter who moved
up from the fourth position to
the third slot.
All of the seven boys have been
performing well but the best bet
for an individual title is Cliff
Dale in the shot or discus. Dale
has won almost every meet he
has been in this year and has at
least placed in all of them.
The other men in that division
are strong also. Grimm has been
working well along with Larry
Smith.

Wes Santee Hopes
To Set New Marks
This will come as a shock to
some of his 1952 pursuers who
haven't yet taken a run at him
this spring. But wes bantee,
Kansas' tireless length oi whip
cord, is running faster and easier
than he did a year ngo.
"How." the potential victims
are bound to ask, can a guy who
Sooners' Mile Relay
Team Facing Battle
Iowa, who hasn't won a baton
title at the Kansas Relays since
1938, will sturdily challenge Okla
homa's mile relay supremacy Sat
urday in one of the spotlighted
matches of the 28th Kansas Re
lays. The Hawkeyes swept three ma
jor indoor championships on board
tracks, winning the Milwaukee
Journal Games (3:21.9), the Cleve
land Knights of Columbus (3:21.1),
and one heat of the Chicago Re
lays (3:21.2).
The only miss throughout the
entire indoor swing was a loss to
Michigan in the Big Ten derby as
the Wolverines scooted 3:18.5
against a 3:19.1 by the Iowans.
Best Hawkeye time is 3:19.0 in a
quadrangular on Illinois lengthy
dirt track.
The final .two times better OUV
record-run "of 3:21.0 at the Big
Seven Indoor. Furthermore, the
Hawkeyes ran every one of these
tours without their regular lead
off man, Charles Boylan, who has
been sidelined with a pulled
muscle. He is expected to be ready
here thus cementing a team that
won the Big Ten Indoor a year
ago in 3:18.3.
The remaining members include
Ted Wheeler, the versatile Negro
and LeRoy Ebert and Gary Scott,1
two of the league's better quar
termilers. Wheeler may not be
available for this unit here -since
he is booked for the Glenn Cun
ningham Mile, and perhaps an
anchoring stint in the Sprint Med
ley, which also promises to be a
bitter contest. However, the
Iowans won the first four of the
above mentioned races with Bob
Clark at ltadoff and Stan Levin-
son at No. 2. The latter led-off in
the last three efforts with Wheeler
at No. 2. If Boylan is able to go,
Levinson probably will move back
to No. 2, unless the Hawkeyes
scratch out of the Medley.
This is ominous reading for
John Jacobs' clan who could do
no better than third behind Michi
gan and Marquette in the "Relay
of Champions" at Chicago. The
Hilltoppers will be in Saturday's
field also.
Oklahoma will be shooting for
its third consecutive Mile Relay
crown here, a feat which would
match Texas A & M's all-time
record skein, compiled in 1946,
1947, and 1948. The Redshirts
nosed Texas A & M here last year
with a combination of Harry Lee,
Quanah Cox, Chuck Coleman, and
J. W. Mashburn in a record burst
of 3:14.8.
Lee and Cox are returning this
year along with George McCor-
mick, an 880-440 veteran, who
helped OU to its new loop Indoor
record in February. Had not Mash
burn, who earned a spot on the
U. S. Olympic team last year as a
mere freshman, tripped scholasti
cally at mid-semester, the Sooners
would be odds-on favorites.
Even without their big blond
ace, they are stout enough. In ad
dition to their record flight at
Kansas City, the Oklahomans sped
3:16.5 to whip Oklahoma A & M at
the Aggie Preview. And this with
Dick Woods, a true half-miler,
opening in :53.0. Cox blazed the
anchor with an unofficial :47.9.
Lee and McCormiek ran behind
Woods. A combination of Woods,
Phil Beeler, McCormiek, and Cox
ran 3:23.6 to win the North Texas
State Relays.
KU Relay High Jump
Contest Anticipated
Another two-man war will spot
light the High Jump at the 28th
Kansas Relays here April 18th.
The principles this time are Ar
nold Betton, Drake's returning
teammer and defending Relays'
chimpion, and Chuck Holding, the
tall East Texas State kangaroo
who annexed his second succes
sive Texas Relays' title last month
at Austin.
Betton owns the best 1953
height of the two, to date, at 6-8 Vi,
a loft he used to tie world record
holder Ken Wiesner for first in
the Boston Knights of Columbus
Games He also owns a mark of
6-7, with which he erected a
new CCC record at South Bend.
He tied for first at the Michigan
State Relays at 6-3, and got a
fourth at the Millrose Games at
6-4. He was seventh at Helsinki
last summer at 6-4.
Betton tied Texas A&M's Olym
pic champion, Buddy Davis, for
the title here last year at 6-7 Vt,
while Holding, who had tied the
Texas Relays' record of 6-9 only
two weeks previously, slid into a
fourth-place tie at 8-4.
He won at Texas last month
with a leap of 6-6, and has'
matched that height in one other!
meet this spring. He cleared 6-7
to win the College division of the
Southwest Recreational and 6-7 V
for the Border Olympic crown at
Loredo. Thus, his low and high of
the season varies only IV4 inches.
If both these competitors ap
proach their all-time tops, at least
one of them will fracture Bob
Walters' existing Relays record of
6-8 316, which the Texas lea per
managed in 1949 to capture the
meet's "Most Outstanding Athlete"
award.
Holding's all-time ceiling is 6-,
9, which he used to set a new!
Lone Star conference record last
May. Betton cleared 6-9 V4 as a
freshman to win the Ozark AAU
title at St. Louis.
A victory by Holding would
hand the Lions their first individ-ul-event
Relays' gold medal since
1942 and their third of all-time in
this meet. Last East Texas repre
sentative to bag a personal crown
here was Travis Cook, who copped
the Javelin in 1942. First Lion vic
tor here was Avon Rice, 1941
Broad Jump champion.
The field behind this duo is
a creditable one, including Les
Vanover, ACC; Bob W h i d d 0 n,
Oklahoma; Buzz Frasier, Kansas;
Bo Billings, Texas, and Jerry
Whatley Hardin-Simmons.
Vanover went 6-6 to cop second
behind Holding at the Fat Stock
Show. He and Whatley tied for
the runner-up slot behind the
NAIA champion at Loredo with
twin leaps of 6-4, Whatley beat
Vanover at the West Texas Re
lays at 6-3. He also cleared
6-4 at last week's North Texas
Relays to subdue Whiddon. The
latter came up with his best jump
of the spring in this meet at 6-3.
Billings won the University di
vision of the West Texas Games
at 6-4. Frasier tied Nebraska's
Phil Heidelk for the Big Seven
Indoor championship last month
at 6-3.
Roscoe Vroonman, of Oklahoma
AIM, who tied Holding for fourth
here last year, has been held be
low par because of an injury.

miles as low as 4:06.8, be im
proved?"
The answer lies in Wes' adop
tion of a refined technique, which
for want of a better monicker,
we'll call the "heel and toe
dribble."
This finds Santee hitting the
track first with the ball of his
foot on each stride, then bouncing
up on the toe, back lightly on the
heel and then up on the toe
again as he swings'' the rear leg
forward.
This rocker-chair motion sounds
somewhat cumbersome and un
necessary. Actually it is a series
of almost simultaneous move
ments of co-ordination between
ankle and foot. Santee picked it
up on a tip from Mai Whitefield,
two-time Olympic 800 meter
champion, formerly of Ohio State.
Wes has been fortunate enough
to tour twice with the Old Buck
eye. Happily too, , the . first trip
occurred when Wes was just be
ginning his career. That was the
1951 safari to Japan the summer
between the Ashlander's fresh
man and sophomore years. He got
an encore last year at Helsinki
and in post-Olympic treks through
England and Sweden.
"I tried to get that foot action
for almost two years," Wes ex
plains. "I had about given up
when it suddenly worked out just
right in my preliminary 880 race
at the Big Seven Indoor. I seemed
to get the correct co-ordination
with that little bounce board-run
ning always gives you. Now it's
just about natural for me."
It should be noted that Santee
scurried the swiftest half in the
nation to date, Indoors or Out, in
the aforementioned race, a 1:52.5
He came back the following even
ing to ramble to a new Mile
record of 4:08.3 and anotoher
steaming half of 1:53.6.
Since then he has unreeled 880
relay carries of 1:49.7 and 1:51.9,
both at Texas last month. Last
year he was barely under 1:55.0
in his two - best hallmile extorts
A year's maturity . . . Santee
passed his 21st birthday last
March 25 . . . has helped, of
course. But Wes credits the in
crease in speed to his newly-
mastered technique.
Another item that points this
way is his 440 times. Last year
he was happy any time he could
hit :50.0. He has been under :49.0
twice this spring in workouts, at
:48.7 and :48.8 figures good
enough to have won or tied for
the Big Seven Outdoor quarter
mile championships in seven of
last nine years.
Given a sunny day, Wes likely
will splinter both these marks . . .
a far cry from the days when he
used to 1oe alone behind the leed
wagon and plow furrows on his
Dad s ranch at Ashland.

WILL OPPOSE KD . . . Righthanded hurler Pat Mallette is slated
to pitch the second game of the two game series against Kansas
this weekend for Nebraska. The Huskers open Big- Seven play
with four games, two against KU and two against Kansas State
next Monday and Tuesday. In pre-conference play Mallette had
no decisions after pitching five innings. The Cornhusker team
record is 3-2-1.
OU Coach Attending
CU Coaching School
Two of the nation's top
coaches Ivan B. "Ivy" William
son of Wisconsin and Bruce Drake
of Oklahoma will headline the
University of Colorado Coaching
School this summer.
Dates for the school will be
June 15 through June 20, Athle
tic Director Harry G. Carlson re
vealed Tuesday.
Williamson, who coached Wis
consin to the co-championship of
the Bib Ten Conference and a
Rose Bowl bid last fall, will head
the football section of the all
sports school.
Drake, longtime cage coach at
Oklahoma and chairman of the
national basketball rules commit
tee, will be in charge of the bas
ketball lectures.

school will be the University of
Colorado athletic staff, including
all the Buff head coaches.
Williamson, who graduated from
Michigan in 1933, has done a re
markable iob of overhauling Wis
consin's gridiron fortunes since he
took over the head job there in
1949. After keeping the Badgers
in the thick of the Big Ten scram
ble in 1950 and 1951, William
son hit the jackpot last fall as
his club tied Purdue for the Big
Ten championship with a 4-1-1
record and was selected as the
loop's Rose Bowl representative.
Wisconsin went on to drop a hard
fought 7-0 decision to Southern
California on New Year's Day.
Williamson served as assistant
coach at Yale and head coach at
Lafayette before taking the Wis
consin job.
Drake, a Felms Foundation All-
American basketballer at Okla
homa in 1929, has completed 15
seasons as head coach at his alma
mater.
The shrewd cage tactician has
coached at no other school, mov
ing directly into an assistant job
at UKianoma upon graduation Be
fore getting the head job.
During his 15 years at Okla
homa, his Sooner teams have won
189 while losing 150 and have
won or tied for the conference
championship six times.
Colorado head football and bas
ketball coaches, Dal Ward and
Bebe Lee, will assist Williamson
and Drake in those two sports.
Other Colorado coaches who
will appear include Ray Jenkins
(wrestling), Frank Potts (track),
Frank Prentun fbasphain nnri
Marshall Wells (football).
Athletic Director Harry Carlson,
former longtime baseball coach at

Coach Tony Sharpe's baseball
crew goes on the road for an ex-j
tended four game outstate trip this
weekend. On the agenda for
Sharpe's boys are two games
against Kansas State and two with
ihe powerful Kansas University
squad.
This is the Huskers first league
action this year. Last season NU
finished in second place behind
the Missouri Tigers.
Coach Sharpe is "satisfied" with
his team's early showing. So far
this year the Huskermen have
compiled a 3-2-1 record with both
losses coming from Oklahoma A
and M. ,
Sharpe noted that the Aggies
have a powerful team this year.
This can be proved by the un
blemished record that the Okla
homans display. The A and M
team also holds a 5-4 win over
highly touted Kansas University.
Lefthander Fran Hofmaier has
been nominated for the opening
day conference assignment against
K-State. Hofmaier has pitched 10
innings of ball this season, but still
has no win-loss record.
Another pitcher with no record
is slated to pitch the second game
of the Kansas State series. Pat
Mallette who has gone five in
nings without a decision will take
the hill for the Huskers Saturday.
Coach Sharpe has not decided
on his starters for the series at
Lawrence as yet. He is waiting to
see the outcome of the first two
contests.
Sharpe doesn't expect too much
trouble from K-State but he is
not being over-confident, either.1
He has not heard too much about
the Stater's team except that they
beat Wichita earlier this season.
Last year they were the weak
team in the league.
The coach stated that he expects
Kansas to cause a little more
trouble than the Wildcats.
"Kansas should be very strong
this year and is definitely in con
tention for the league crown," said
Sharpe.
Sharpe had praise for two boys
who gave fine performances on
the first road trip. Second sacker
Bob Reynolds and outfielder Jim
Cedardahl were the players
singled out for hitting and playing
good baseball on the initial trip
south.
The coach also said that Jerry
Dunn is still hitting over the .300
mark but can do a lot better as
the season rolls on.
Four of the nine regulars are
batting over .300 after the first six
games. Reynolds leads the team in
batting in the first official figures
released for the season. He hit
.435 in the first six non-conference
contests. Sophomore Ceder
dahl is second in line with a .364
average. Double duty man Ray
Novak is in the third slot with an
overall average of .318. Dunn is in
fourth place batting .304.
Cederdahl leads in four other
departments as a result of his
powerful slugging on the team's
first trip into Texas and Okla
homa. He has the most RBI?s with
9, the most two-baggers with 4,
the most homers with 2, and the
most total bases with 18.
Dunn and Reynolds also blasted
homeruns in the first week's ac
tion. Right now Sharpe is hoping for
a break in the weather so all of
the games can be played as
scheduled.
The probable starters are Dirkes
Rolston at shortstop, Reynolds at
second, Fred Seger at third, Ray
Novak at first, Dunn in rightfield,
Cederdahl in centerfield, Dick
Christoph in leftfield, Murray
Backhaus behind the plate, and
Hofmaier on the mound.
