Records la Banger As Bi Track Meet leers By GARY FRANDSEN Sports Editor The big show of Nebraska prep track circles will be run off this weekend. On Friday and Saturday the colorful State High School Track and Field Championships will be held on the cinders arid sod of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. From nearly every angle this could be one of the closest and talented of all state championships. There are a number of teams who could emerge as the grand champion. Some of the existing state records are resting on shaky ground and could be wiped off the books when all the running, jumping and throwing stops late Saturday afternoon. The 1954 version of the big affair also has in Its midst some f the most versatile prep athletes of its long- history. Yes, It could definitely be two days of tight, photo-finish competition with some of the top talent of all-time coming through with record-smashing performances.- It simply shapes up to be that kind of meet. If we were to pick a man to especially keep our eye on (and we are) It would be Scottsbluff's brilliant all-around performer, Dick Knaub. Dick, a starting guard and a excellent floor man on the Bearcat basketball five this winter, undoubtedly is one of the greatest Nebraska prep track and field athletes of anytime. KNAUB IS currently the state record holder in the pole vault, having leaped a mighty 12-feet, 9s inches in last May's big meet and at the present holds the top season performances in the 180 yard low hurdles and the broad jump. In both of these events he is over the state record. In the low hurdles Knaub has raced over the sticks in 19:8 which is six-tenths of a second faster than the state mark of :20.1 recorded by Knaub and his since -graduated teammate, Don Com stock, in last year's state tourney. In broad Jumping 23 feet, 2 inches, Dick has outdistanced the state record of 22-104 hung up by Arapahoe's Jim Mather In 1936. Knaub doesn't stop there! In addition, he is anchor man on the Scottsbluff 880-yard relay quartet which has sprinted off the second-best time in the state this season. The Bearcats' 1:33.6 performance is right behind Alliance's 1:33.5. Personally we think the versatile Mr. Knaub is going to win three individual championships in the weekend attraction and if weather conditions are favorable, the Scottsbluff senior could easily have his name firmly placed in the record books in all three events. THERE ARE a number of ot,her athletes who also boast exceptional ability. One of those is Beatrice's Bill Marten, a dark -haired senior who looms as the gent to beat in the high hurdles and Knaub's number one threat in the lows. Marten's presence could be just a boost to send Knaub to a low's record or even vice versa. Bill also anchors the Orange and Black mile relay foursome which has the season's best time thus far, a nifty 8:32.3. liClBifiiliill if liiSr mmSitMJt ....4 Jliiil Mmm plfe . .4;ft: WmWm$ ,- V-A -'- it j- . vfls .V r iL mm Versatile Mr. Knaub Courtesy Sunday Journal and Stat This is Scottsbluff's Dick Knaub who many call the state's finest high school track and field athlete.

Phi Dolts Win l-M Golf Tourney Phi Delta Theta, with a new low score of 1037 for 36 holes copped their second straight golf title Sunday at Pioneer Park. Sigma Chi was second with a total of 1065. The Phi Delts, outclassing all other competition, were led by Nelson Jensen who had an 80-78 for a two round total of 158.

By FRANK SORENSON Sports Staff Writer Tn In atrial Arte HftHinH tVi pitching of Arnie Boich, rambled to a lopsided 23-0 win over Sigma Gamma Epsilon. Boich twirled his third no-hit, no-run game of the last two seasons. In helping his team ring up a new season scoring record, Boich struck out 11 of the IS men fac ing him in the abbreviated con test. This brings his season total to 19 strikeouts in two contests and his career record to 85 strike outs in two years. An average of 10.6 fans per game over an eight game route. The only man to reach base drew a base on balls and was promptly left stranded. In one instance Boich struck out three men with only 11 pitches. Al Dienes and John Bordogna were the big guns for the un beaten victors. Delnes hit three for four, one being a round- tripper. He also got on via a Sig Gam bobble in the last Inn ing. Bordogna banged out two home runs and a triple and drew a free trip from the loser's pitcher. Cornhusker Coop, behind the pitching of Stu Nelson, ran over the Pioneer Coop nine by a 8-2 count. Nelson, one of the top chuck - ers In play for the last tew seasons, allowed only two hits and both of the loser's runs were unearned. The victors tallied four times in the first inning, twice in the third and three times in the fifth frame. Cornhusker will now tee off against the strong Pi Kappa Phi outfit for the right to enter the final game of the B tourney. Pioneer, previously unbeaten will now drop to the loser's bracket for an attempted come back. Alpha Gamma Rho A tripped the Delta Upsilon crew 4-0 in a tame that was close all the way. The win advances the victors to the second round in the loser's bracket and drops the DU's from the tournament. Numerous walks and . errors were the downfall of the DU team. Both pitchers, Arlie Waldo for the winners and D. Krom- menhock for the losers, twirled good games but the AGR field ing proved better than the losers. The winners tallied once In each of the first four frames to run up their winning score. In the other three games sche duled there was no action with one of the teams forfeiting in each of the cases. Delta Sigma Pi won by forfeit over L.S.A. while University YMCA took one from NROTC. Phi Delta Theta won by default from Kappa Sigma. Sophomore Whiz Jon McWilliams will be one of the Husker hopefuls in today's dual track meet with Kansas State on the Memorial Stad ium layout. Jon will compete in the 100, low hurtles and broad jump.
