THE NEBRASKAN
Knaub The Best?
Severn! 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.

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.
