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

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.

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.

Nebraska thinclads could very well
cop the high jump event with a tie
for first between these two fellows.
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

All College Invitational at Man
hattan, Kansas.
By STAN WIDMAN
Staff Sports Writer
The Gymnastics and swimming
teams will be ' seeing quite a bit
of action this weekend as they try
to improve their already good sea
sons. Coach Jake Geier will be taking
his six top gymnasts to Manhat
ten, Kansas for the All College In
vitational. The Huskers will be
trying for their sixth consecutive
victory in this meet.
Ten teams are entered in the
meet which is considered to be
the Championship of the Missouri
Valley and Rocky Mountain areas.
Geier stated that the top compe
tition is expected to come from
Colorado State, the Air Force
Academy, and Western Illinois
State with Colorado State the fa
vorite. The six Huskers making the trip
include Wayne Strickler, Captain,
Ervin K r i s t, Kenny Kohler,
Charles Ellis, Bob MacDonald and
Larry Brown.
" 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.
Krist, who is one of the but
standing men in the country on
the trampoline will be trying to
add another victory in this event.
He will also be entered in the
parallel bars, tumbling and the
flying rings, having scored con
sistently in all of these events this
year.
Frosh Baseball Meeting
Baseball coach, Tony. Sharpe
will hold the annual Freshmen
Baseball organizational meeting
at 5 p.m next Wednesday. The
get-together will be held in the
NU Fieldhouse.
Coach Sharpe is looking for
someone to be his 1957 student
manager. Anyone interested may
contact Sharpe at room 206,
Coliseum or call 3188.
Iowa State Here;
Face NU Matmen
Nebraska's wrestling team will
cloe out their home" season Satur
day afternoon against Iowa State
at 3:30 p.m. The Matmen will close
their season with the Big Seven
conference test at Norman, Okla
homa, March 8-9.
Two seniors will engage fa their j
last action on the home mats.
Heavyweight Dan Brand and
Jack Bryans are the two last year
men. Brand is in his second year
of varsity competition and has been
one of the Huskers top performers
to date. Bryans has been on the
squad now for three years and has
lettered each year.
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 Huskers will be carrying a
4-2 mark in dual meets going into
the tournament and will be trying
to improve with duals being count
ed against Colorado State, Man
kato and Western Illinois State.
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.
