Fridoy, February 22, 1957 The Daily Nebroskan Page 3 Gardner, Elwood, Barnes Ready: Sevigne Readies Husker Thinclads; Kansas State Poses Major Threat By JIM COURTNEY Staff Sports Writer Boasting an unblemished rec ord so far this season. Nebraska tracksters hope to continue their winning ways this Saturday as they play host to Coach "Ward Haylett's sophomore studded cin der group. Both teams will be touching up their talents as they prepare themselves for the Big Seven indoor championships in Kan sas City March 1-2. The Husker team will be seek ing their fourth consecutive win in as many meets but may have Bush Guns For Upset: Huskers Invade- Kansas Face Wilt And Friends By BOB MARTEL Sports Editor The Nebraska Cornhuskers face the unpleasant task of playing the Kansas Jayhawks on their home court tomorrow evening. The Bushmen will invade Phog Allen Fieldhouse to face the team that beat them 69-54, two weeks ago here in Lincoln. The Jayhawkers led by their sensational center Wilt Chamber lain, are ranked number two na tionally by both wire services. Chamberlain who was held to 11 points against Oklahoma, has ilSliHllSf fill 1 V ' CI L r will liHiHMiiiiii Miiiiiiii'iiiir'Ttiiiiiiijipiwr--"- Wilt Courtesy Lincoln Journal Husker Headache received, great deal of help late ly from sophmore forward Ron Loneski. In the Oklahoma game, L o n e s k i took up the slack by pumping in 28 points. Should Nebraska upset the high ly touted Kansans, it could set up a Big Seven Championship game Owhen Kansas meets Kanr State at Manhattan on March 6. Dick Harp will face the Huskers with a starting team of Loneski and Gene Elstun at the forwards, Chamberlain at center and Mau rice King -and John Parker at the guards. Chamberlain is currently fourth nationally in scoring averaging some 29 points per game. Wilt has been staging a real battle for scoring honors with Chet- Forte of Columbia and Grady Wallace of South Carolina. Wal lace is currentfy the leader in this see-saw battle. Loneski who was injured during most of the early part of the sea son has come back strong to give Harp adde insurance in case Chamberlain should be stopped. Only a sophmore, Loneski re placed last year's pivot man Lew Johnson, who had trouble making the change from center to for ward. Elstun is also among the Con ference scoring leaders and is deadly with his one hand jump shot from the corner. , King and Parker give Kansas two of the better backcourt men in the Big Seven. Parker a terrific ball handler is the field general of the Jayhawks. His job is to get the ball in to Chamberlain and that he does. King is a dead shot from the outside and makes it tough for KU opponents to con verge on Chamberlain. Triple teaming Wilt means leaving King open for one of his deadly set shots. This strategy has been ef fective all season in keeping Jay- hawk opponents from using a set defense. Nebraska will probably chal lenge Kansas with Rex Ekwall and Don Smidt at the forwards, Ron Parsons at center and Gary Reimers and Lyle Nannen at the guards. Ekwall, captain of the Huskers, played one of his finer games Mon day night against x Kansas State. A terrific team player, Ekwall is approaching the career scoring mark of Jim Buchanan and should set a new record before the season ends. Reimers, whose scoring has fallen off the last few games, is expected to quarterback the Ne braska quintet. It was Reimers outstanding scor ing ability that made it possible for the Huskers to comprise the best record they have ever had under Jerry Bush. KU Pole Vculter Credits Choppers Stripping the process of details, there are two reasons Dave Tarns has become the first 14-foot Pole Vaulter in aKnsas history (1) A new-found swingup and (2) a complete set of false teeth. The latter, perhaps, is foremost. The muscled Kansas senior has worn the plates almost a full year, and is so happy with them he wouldn't have his naturals "even if they were in good shape. ,J "Does it help me to have 'em out," exclaims Tarns. "How would you like to have a toothache all the time even when you were vaulting. I can't remember when I could stand to drink anything hot or cold. Now I can eat steak and chew-up ice cubes." Face Colorado Teams: Cornhuskers Visit Rockies Swimmers, Gymnasts Travel By STAN WIDMAN, Staff Sports Writer The Swimmjng and Gymnas tics teams are heading towards the Rocky Mountains for several dual meets with Colorado foes. The tankers will be opposing Colorado A&M today at Fort Collins. Coach Hollie Lepley ex pressed optimism at his teams chances but said the meet should be extremely close. Lepley will be relying on sev eral of the top swimmers to f come through with needed victor ies. Gene Cotter and Bill Tagney, running one-two all season in the diving event will be out to dupli cate their feat. Carl Bodensteiner will be another Husker carrying a big load on his shoulders. Ti e former Star of the Week will be seeking double victories in the 220 and 440 yd. freestyle events. Bill North who has been giving Boden steiner close races all year, beat ing him on several occasions, shoukl provide a double punch to both of the events. Jerry Farrell and Ron Renfer close all year in the 50 yd. and 100 yd. freestyle events should give the Aggies all the trouble they can handle. Charlie Arizumi will be trying to pull another victory in the 200 yd. backstroke. He has been swimming well at this event all year. Fritz" Helmsdorphter should be in top form for the 200 yd. breast stroke and butterfly. Other men being counted upon by Lepley will be Doug Thorpe, relays, Jim Pokorney, breaststroke and re lays, and John Holeman, relays. The Gymnasts will probably have their hands full also as they journey t to Colorado A&M for a dual meet Friday and to Boulder for a triangular meet with Colo rado U. and the Air Force Acade my, Saturday. Coach Jake Gier will be placing his main hopes on. Wayne Strictler and Ervin Krist, his' top point get- ters. Strictler specializes in the flying rings, parrallel bars," hori zontal bars and free , exercise events. Krist, former star of the week, is one of the top trampoline men in the country. In addition to the tramp, he performs well in the gunroling, parrallel bars, flying rings and the free exercise events. Anottier steady point man has been Bob McDonald His events are the parrallel bars, the side horse- and the horizontal bar. Kenny Kohler has been the stal wart on the side horse while Don Ellis has contributed in the free exercise, horizontal bar, flying rings, tumbling and the trampo line. The Husker gymnasts will be trying for their fifth and sixth wins of the season as against one loss. s Husker .

One of these sophomores is Tom Rodda .who hustled through,' the mile distance in 4,19 in a meet at Chicago last weekend. The Wild cat thinclad will cope with Nebras ka's Bob Elwood, winner of all but one of his running events, in the one mile distance as well as the two mile run." An interesting point- to note in the records between the two schools is that no records have fallen since 1953. Five of ts marks have ex isted since the 1930's and two of the 12 records have stood since in the early 1940's. Although no records have fallen for the last three years, at least one of the marks has a good pos sibility of being broken. The record is the :07.5 mark held since 1940 by Bill Smutz in the high obstacle sticks. Keith Gardner, stellar sprint er from Jamaica, promises to out the mark, under fire. Keith has spun over the high hurdles in -.07.4 in the meet against Okla homa. Two other records could be test ed when the Jamaican sprinter tries to better the marks in the 60 yard dash and the 60 yard low hurdles. Both these records were set by Heye Lambertus in 1933 and 1932 respectively. Keith has to speed the 60 yard distance in under :06.1 and the 60 yard lows in under :06.8 to rewrite the record book in either event. The shot put group was bolstered by the addition of Marlin Hild ing, football end, to put even more strength in the Husker thinclad crew. Marlin has been putting around 43 feet with his early ef forts.

Championships i By BILL COOPER Daily Nebraskan Sports Reporter The Nebraska State High School Swimming meet will get under way Saturday, February 23, at the Lincoln Public Schools Activity Building. The championships, this year, are under thedirection of the Nebraska swimming mentor sHollie Leply. - v ( Teams entered in this year's competition ir. .hide the 1956 champ Lincoln High, Hastings who was runner up to the Links last year, Lincoln Northeast, Creighton Prep, Boystown, Lincoln Southeast, Oma ha Central, Omaha Tech, and Has tings St. Cecilia, a newcomer to this year's attraction. High school swimming has be come a popular activity as far as competitive sports are concerned here In the Cornhusker state. This season there have been close to twice as many dual swim meets scheduled among Nebraska high schools than in any other year. Furthermore, the increased inter est is showing results in the better time's being set by the swimmers. Harry Kuklins' Lincoln swimmers finished the season having the best dual meet record in the state. The Links posted double victories over Boystown, Omaha Tech Northeast, Southeast, and split with Hastings. Lincoln is favored to retain the championships again this year. Many of the pool and meet rec ords have been broken or equaled by several of the participants this year. Also numerous state meet marks have been bettered. Larry Converse of Lincoln, Bill Champlin of Hastings and Bob Anderson of Lincoln have topped the 100 yard free style record of :55.7 set by Converse last year. The Lincoln High relay team ol Herb Kuster, and Converse have beaten the (200 yard free style re lay time of 1:43.6 set in 1938 by Omaha Tech. All in all, this years' meet which begins in the morning and termi nates with the finals at three p.m., promises to provide a day of top flight swimming competition not only for the participants, but for the spectators as well. Cornhusker swimming fans should be interested in this meet as many of the high school partici pants will be wearing the uniforms of Hollie Lepley's mermen in the very near future. fnri W? r,:n i -LdrtJtf - - ' " ' ' w"T"nr"Mj Tarry WanaiT ifflT5nffi"Brhnnnnnnr.iiiniiai - .- .

In Chance Vought's missile and fighter activities, he discovered every specialty he'd considered in school. He found others'he hadn't known existed. Vought measured him for all-these fields, and together they selected a perfect fit: struc tures and preliminary design work, where Chuck has advanced to lead engineer in about five years time. The same variety can be found at Vought by graduates from every field of academic training. Electrical, civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineers alike find a rich selection of avenues for growth. Moreover, they find the guidance they need to make a wise chdfce. Chuck, for example, was selected for Chance Vought's nine-month program of job rotation. After working in six different groups he gained a backlog ol experience that has since proved invaluable. Frank counseling, a. versatile, growing company everything that helped Chuck can help you.
