any trouble.

Chamberlain. Lyle Nannen hit a

the Huskers bottled up and forced
them to shoot, for the most part,
from the outside.
Nebraska had three men guard
ing Chamberlain. Every time the
big pivot man would move, Ek
wall, Ron Parsons and Don Smidt
would move in on him.

Nebraskan Sports Reporter
The Nebraska track team, post
ing their second victory in as
many contests, gave treat to 1,8
spectators as they administered
a 56-48 defeat to the Colorado
thinclads last Saturday.
The meet, held as a prelude to
the Kansas-Nebraska basketball
game, witnessed eight broken re
cords and one tied, as the Husker
cindermen avenged their last
year's loss to the Buffaloes.
Olympic runner, Keith Gardner
led Frank Sevigne s crew to vic
tory by winning three events and
breaking meet records in all three.
Keith broke records in the 60-yard
dash, 60-yard low hurdles, and
the 60-yard high hurdles.
Stellar distance runner, Bob
Elwood won the mile and two
mile events and set a new meet
record in the mile run to erase
the old mark of 4:26.0 set by
Jim Funk of Colorado last year.
Bob's time of 4:23.9 shaved nearly
three seconds off the old record.
Larry Gausman equaled his old
mark of 6'3" in the high jump
set last year to complete Nebras
ka's "record" scoring.
The Buffalo thinclads did some
record breaking of their own, how
ever, as they proved their cinder
potential by posting four new meet
marks. The Colorado cindermen
who accomplished these feats were
Jim Blackwell, who set a new
meet record of 50' W in the
shot put event breaking Cliff
Dale's record of 48'9" of Nebraska
set in 1953, Charles Smith, who
C H 3 Sa 5
can
broke Nebraska's Brain Hendrick-
son's record in the 440-yard run
and set a new meet record of
51:3, and Bob Greenfield, who
broke his old record set last year
in the 880. He decreased his time
by 3.6 seconds to post a new
mark of 1:57.3. The Colorado mile
relay team also bettered the mark
set by Nebraska last year of
3:32.4. The Buff's crew which
established a time of 3:30.8, con
sisted of Carlson, Smith, Jack
Bessire, and Bob Spykstra.
Other Huskers who garnered blue
ribbons were Ken Pollard, pole
vault and Bill Hawkins, broad
jump. Although the blue ribbon
winners for Nebraska merit much
praise they were essentially aided
by the second and third place win
ners. Other Husker tallies were scored
by Dick Skold, third in the shot
put; Dale Knotek, second in the
high jump; Charles Wollaston and
Don Phillips who placed second
and third respectively in the broad
jump; Don House, third in the
440-yard run and Bill Hawkins,
third in the 60-yard high hurdles.
Completing the Husker scoring
were Lee Carter who placed third
in the two-mile run; Knolly Barnes,
second in the 880-qard run; and
Bill Marten who finished close on
the heels of Keith Gardner in the
60-yard low hu&rdles to take sec
ond place.
The next meet for Frank
Sevighe's thinclads wiU be this
coming Saturday when they will
play host to the Oklahoma Sooners
at 2 p.m.

Husker Matmen Win
On Busy Weekend
Ace Miler Bob Elwood
ins First Star Award
W
Bob Elwood, junior in Teachers
College from Elliott, Iowa,' has
been named Star of the Week by
the NEBRASKAN Sports Staff.
He was chosen for the honor be
cause of his outstanding perform
ance in winning both the mile and
two mile races against Iowa State
in a dual track meet against Iowa
State which the Cornhuskers won
74-30. Both races produced new
records for the meet. He covered
the mile in 4:22.4 to break the old
record of 4:26.42 and came back
40 minutes later to run the two
mile in 9:48.9 which bested the
oldest mark in Husker-Cyclone
history-9:52.4.
Winning races and setting rec
ords is nothing new to the modest
S'll" 150 pounder from the Corn
State. He won both the Class C.
880 yard run and the mile run at
Iowa's state meet in 1953, setting
the mile record with a time of
4:35.1. His time for the 880 was
a comparatively fast 2:06. The
next year as a senior, he eclipsed
his own mile record with a time
of 4:32.7. He participated on the
winning mile medley relay team
which also set a new record.
In the 1954 version of the Drake
Relays, he entered the high school
mile, open to runners of all class
es, and beat the previous year's
winner, Jerry Walker, by half a
stride. His time was a creditable
4:32.2 and gave him one of his
top thrills.
During his junior and senior
years in high school, he won every
mile race he entered. It wasn't
until the summer of 1954 that he
lost in a mile race. He finished
second to Olympic Steeplechase
runner Deacon Jones in the A.A.U.
meet at Omaha.
His top thrill along with his vic
tory in the Drake relays came in
the 1954 state meet. He and five
other boys comprised the Elliott
high track team, and despite the
lack of manpower they won the
state meet setting records in the
tnile, mile medley relay and the
440 yard relay.
Bob continued his winning ways
last year in his first collegiate
track meet. He won the mile and

the two mile against Iowa State
indoor. He came right back again
with a tie in the mile with Hugh
Osmera and a win in the two mile
against Kansas State. He finished
third in the mile against Colorado
and finished fifth in the two mile
at the Big Seven indoor track
meet.
Going outdoors, he won the two
mile and came in second in the
mile against Kansas State. He fin
ished second in the mile and two
mile in a triangular meet with
Iowa State and Colorado.
Since last year, he has brought
down his times in the mile by
over five seconds and in the two
mile by over eight seconds. With
these much improved clockings,
there is no doubt that he will win
more than his share of races this
f.aw-ywr. J : "'-WW""""'""1"
on a
coming track season.
Robert Elwood was born
farm near Elliott, Iowa 22 years
ago. He is the fifth child in a fam
ily of 8 boys and 4 girls. Track
was nothing new to Bob as two of
his older brothers participated in
state track meets. One brother,
Ira, placed in the 440 and high and
low hurdles in his school days. A
younger brother Is graduating this
year from Elliott high.
Being only a junior this year,
Bob has most of this season and
all of the next to perhaps become
one of the greatest milers in Ne
braska history.
The NEBRASKAN Sports -Staff
and the rest of the state certainly
wish him luck in bis coming races
and congratulate him on being the
Sports Star of the Week.
