0 Friday, March 1, 1957 The Daily Nebroskon Page 3 Kansas, Missouri Favored: NU Thinclads Invade Kansas City; Sevigne Optimistic About Chances By JIM COURTNEY Staff Sports Writer After the first all-victorious in door track season since 1946, Coach Frank Sevigne and his cinder crew of record breakers head towards Kansas City to participate in the Big Seven Indoor Track Meet this Weekend. " The Cornhusker thinclads, prob ably one of the strongest squads' in the track history of the school will be hoping to make the jump from bottom to top in one year In the Meet's standings. Last year, scoring only 4 points, the Huskers sadly fell to the bot tom of the heap. But this year is a completely new year with new hopes and new potential and with the coupling of these two factors the Sevigne mentored club may be heading for a repeat per formance of their 1951 showing in 5 i-m J fit Courtesy Lincoln Journal Gardner ... Sprint Ace the Big Seven Meet. That year the and all when they surmounted in ealcuble odds and returned home with the gold cup. According to Sevigne this could be an undertaking comparable to that of 1951 and with a little luck the motley composed track squad very easily emerge victorious. Pre-meet favorites are suppos edly Kansas University and the University of Missouri but the highly touted Husker squad is des tined to give both of these teams a good tussle for the top position, according to leading sports writers. Ike Hanscom, top track assist ant for the University and predic tor of the meet winner for the last seven years, has Missouri holding down the lead position with 45Mt points followed by Nebraska with 40. Ike sees Kansas University in the third peg but Coach Sevigne has the top three in different posi tions. Sevigne places the Husk ers copping first, garnering 48 15 points and nipping Kansas by 6V4 points. This leaves Missouri in the third slot with 34 710 marks. Regardless of the outcome, Kan sas City will host one of the strong est track conferences in the na tion Friday and Saturday, and judging from the quality of the competitors, the nation's track en thusiasts can hardly help but be impressed. One of the many stellar perform ers headlining the meet will be Al Oerter of Kansas, who has just recently returned from gaining the Olympic discus championship. Al will be putting the shot in the meet and is a heavy pre-meet fa vorite of both Hanscom and Sev igne. Another powerful source of Kan sas' points is Blaine Hollinger, a senior reserve on the Jayhawk's basketball team. The fast-flitting broadjumper was a consistent 24 footer last year and in the NCAA team championship, Blaine span ned a 24-3Vi distance. He will be without a workout for Friday's tes'. but his past record establishes the fact that not too much work out is necessary for him to gain at least a 23-foot leap. Top laurels for the broad jump distance may, however, go to the highly touted Bill Hawkins of Nebraska. "Hawk" has the dis tinction of being the only Big Seven indoor competitor who has twice broken the 23 foot barrier in dual competition. Husker Don Wollaston is another leaper that may peril the 23-foot mark. Don owns a peak of 23-V feet. On the subject of sprints and Hurdles, the Cornhuskers can proudly boast the 12-0 won-loss rec ord of the "Jamaican Jet," Keith Gardner. Keith has yet to be beat en in the 60-yard dash or either of the 60-yard hurdle events in var sity indoor competition and with a good day the "Jet" may extend his string of victories. His main competition in the three races will be from these fleet-footed men; Wiebe, (MU) in the 60-yard dash; Mclntyre, (MU), in the 60-yard high stick event, and Bonifield, (MU), in the 60-yard low hurdles. In the 880-yard event, Husker ace Knolly Barnes may be the man to watch according to men- Wildcat Cagers At Ames For Big" Game Of Week The rounding out of a strenuous season of basketball competition Is near at hand for all Big Seven quintets. The conference title has not yet been salted away by the league leading Kansas Jayhawks who will face a down to the wire battle with Kansas State for the first-place slot. This week-end could tell the Btory with Kansas facing Colo rado at Boulder and Kansas State meeting Iowa State on the Ames court Saturday night. Missouri will be at Oklahoma in the only other" conference clash. Wilt the "Stilt" and crew have not met the Buffaloes since the Big Seven tourney last Deecember when they trounced the Buffs by the tune of 80-54, but the Jay hawkers by losing at Boolder could drop into second place if their across state rivals from Manhattan defeat Iowa State. The Wildcats now riding an Oklahoma's mermen broke 8 pool records when they invaded the K-State tank last Saturday afternoon and humiliated the Wildcats 69-17. Sooner Julian Dyason shaved :00.5 second off the old Big Seven record by whiz zing the 200-yard breast stroke in 2:32.7. eight game conference win streak needs a triumph Saturday over the Cyclones in order to move into a tie for first place. The ninth ranked K-Staters will have a stiff fight on tap with the Iowa State club which has also been high in national rating most of the season. . If the favored Kansas team is victorious against Colorado, and Kansas State loses at Ames, they would need only a split in their final two games against the Wild cats next Wednesday and Colorado again March 9 to clinch the cham pionship. The game a Colorado Saturday night is expected to draw one of the largest crowds in Colorado his tory when Kansas, one of the country's top drawing college bas ketball quintets invades. The Jay- hawks have been averaging just over 10,000 fans per game on the road, while a home attendance average of about 15,000 per game has been established. ' The big' game of the year at Manhattan next Wednesday be tween the two Kansas rivals is already a sell-out of over 13,000 spectators. Kansas will have played before a quarter-of-a-million fans by the end of regular season play. Sliirts In Sports By DIANA MAXWELL Basketball Top Pastime ... Alpha Xi Delta-Sigma Chi emerged as top team in the Co-Recrea tional Volleyball tournament February 26 with a 33-18 victory over Alpha Omicron Pi-Sigma Phi Epsilon. This game climaxed the one tournament in the WAA year in which organized men's houses play on teams with organized women's houses. One tournament leads to another good one, so basketball is the big competition now. February 19, Alpha Xi Delta scored 29 points against 9 for Sigma Delta Tau in basketball competition. Dallas Hunt scored 12 of the 18 points that gave Kappa Kappa Gamma a win over Alpha Omicron Pi February 20. Pat Mulligan of Alpha Omicron Pi was high scorer for her team. Kappa Alpha Theta, led by Bev Bright with 11 pouts, scored a 16-10 victory over Zeta Tau Alpha February 21. , Board Positions Open . . . Filings for WAA Board positions open March 4. Applications may be obtained in the WAA Office. Miss Mulvaney, WAA sponsor, urges applicants for board positions to sign up for interviews on the bulle tin board in Grant Memprial. Interviews will begin March 15. Pre-Orchesis Popular ... Among that great category of not-too-widely-known clubs, is Pre Orchesis. This group meets Wednesdays at five o'clock. It is open to any women interested in dance. Unlike Orchesis, no tryouts are necessary. Jan Shrader has been giving instructions in modern dance. The group does exercises and works on compositions. In other words, it is a fine preparation for coeds who are interested in Orchesis later on. While we are mentioning, Orchesis, I would like to suggest that March 29 and 30 are good vdates to leave open for the annual modern dance production. This year the theme is "West in Modern", depict ing the people and events that shaped the American West. Fencing Anyone? , . . Some interest has grown recently in the art of fencing. A few physical education majors have formed a fencing club which meets on Wednesday. I understand that if any other women would be inter ested in fencing, they might contact Miss Mulvaney. If enough interest seems to warrant it, Cis Wilcox, WAA publicity chairman tells me that minht buv more fencing equipment. tor Sevigne. His excellent perform ance in the Oklahoma meet when he beat Parr (OU) with a time of 1:57.2, shows that he may emerge from the meet with a gold medal in his specialty. In the long distances, Nebraska points with pride to Bob Elwood and Lee Carter. Their magnificent performances throughout the year rates them high on the list of possible winners. Even though the chances of either one m the mile are rather slim they still remain as top contenders. The two-mile event is another story completely, as Sevigne places Elwood as one of the top three to win the race. Ken Pollard, top Husker poten tial in the pole vaujt event, is rat ed high among the men to bid for a gold medal in that event by both Hanscom and Sevigne. The last of the Husker scoring in the meet is the high jump event. !0W is, ..u.'-'5? ; 'V A J f u f - 1 v.

In their last meet both men soared over the bar at 6-4V4 to greatly enhance their chances of scoring a 1-2 victory in this event. "Goose" has a little advantage over Dale as he cleared the bar at a little higher distance in their first meet but since then, the two have cleared with equal height. With these men, the cinder crew Paced by the bird-like men "Goose" of Frank Sevigne could possibly break the perennial win streak of the University of Kansas as monarchs of the Big Seven Meet and regain for themselves the throne which they abdicated in 1951 . , .

" Strickler has been the standout of tht Gymnasts all year. Last week, he scored three firsts in the triangular against Colorado and the Air' Force Academy.' His top events are the parrallel bars, the horizontal bar and the flying rings, while he has also done excellent work on the side horse and in the free exercises.

Other grapplers expected to get the call from coach Don Strash eim are: John Anderson, Gail Baum, Norlin Cooper, Bill La Fleur and Ken McKee. The Cyclones will bring their usual strong roster to Lincoln. Coach Harold Nichols has eight lettermen back from last year's team that blasted Nebraska at Ames. Top man on the Cyclone squad is Frank Powell, 177 pound junior from Omaha. Powell has won sev eral events via the fall route this season. He also was outstanding last year as a sophomore. Kenny Kohler will be trying for an almost complete domination in the side horse. He has lost only once the entire year in this event. Chuck Ellis will probably add important points to the Husker total, just as he has done all year. His specialties include tumbling, free exercise, trampoline, flying rings and the horizontal bar. Bob MacDonald . should score in the parrallel bars, the side horse or the horizontal bar while Larry Brown will be ntered in the tram poline and tumbling.

The Swimmers will be equally busy, entertaining Fort Hayes Fri day afternoon and Kansas Satur day afternoon at the Coliseum pool. The Huskers are favored to win over Fort Hayes but several races figure to be very close. Zimmerman and Bieber are two outstanding swimmers and should give Renfer and Farrell in the 50 yd. freestyle and Fritz Helms dorpher in the 200 yd. breast stroke all the trouble they can handle. Carl Bodensteiner should hold his own in the 220 and 440 yard freestyle against both schools as should Gene Cotter ind Bill Tag ney in the diving event. Bill North, another outstanding freestyler will continue to rival Bodensteiner for winning honors. North defeated Bodensteiner in both freestyle events last week against Colorado A&M. Charlie Arizumi, a much im proved swimmer since the begin ning of the season, should come out on top in the 200 yd. back stroke. Kansas has six lettermen back who are expected to give the Husk ers trouble. Three of them, Ed wards, Hill and Clevenger won events against the Huskers last year. Edwards will be entered in the 100 yard free style and the 400 yard medley relay. Hill will go in the 50 yard free style and both relays while Cleven- ger will be in the 200 yard breast stroke and the 200 yard butterfly. His time of 2:42.6 in the, breast stroke is one of the better clock ings in the Big Seven.
