State Meet:
Prep Athletes
Invade Lincoln
By DEL RASMUSSEN
Sports Staff Writer
Soma of tha finest specimens of
athletic competitors will gather
from the prep ranks all over the
state in Lincoln this weekend to
attempt to win the coveted gold
medal.
Among the finest of the pros
pects invading the capitol city this
Friday and Saturday is speedy
Ray Knaub. Ray has been burn
ing up the cinder ovals every time
he dons hi? spikes this spring. The
speed king from Scottsbluff will
attempt to shatter a state record
that has stood for 29 years in the
100-yard dash. The time of 9.9
lias never been bettered since
1928 although Ray Williams of
Boys Town did match the feat in
1954. Knaub has turned in a time
of 9.8 thus far this season during
regular competition and if he can
repeat the chore he could set a
mark that could well stand for
another 28 years although he may
be hard pressed by Dave Wells of
Omnha Benson who won his dis-

with a 9.9 clocking.
The 220-yard dash seems to be
dedicated to Knaub as he sped to
a 22.4 timing of that event in the
district qualifying competition.
Mike Iseman of Fremont should
be close on the heels of the Scotts
bluff lad though for his 22.6 time
In that event proves his ability.
Chuck Trautman, Big Springs,
turned in a 22.7 time to please the
Class C followers. Chuck won the
medal In that event last year when
he posted a 22.6 clocking- and set
a new state record. Knaub or Ise
man seem certain not to break
the class A record unless Ray
could clip more than :00.6 seconds
off of his best time this year.
The 440 spotlight seems certain
to fall to bespectacled J. D. Shafer
of Hastings this weekend. No one
in the state has come near his
times and he seems the only likely
prospect to win that event. J. D.
qualified with a :50.7 race.

Callan of McCook has provided
the best effort this year with a
2:00.3 race but Emmett American
to set a new state record in order
to nab the gold medal. The rec
ord as it stands is 1:58.2 set by
Ken Ash of Omaha North last
year and for the B Class the mark
is 1:59.3.
The mile run mark seems in no
apparent danger this year for none
of the prepstera have even neared
the 4:26.2 low by Bill Mountford
of Red Cloud in 1947. The nearest
time to that mark this year is
Ken Ash of North who whizzed
to a 4:36.4 clocking in his quali
fying event. The next best time is
a 4:40.3 by Martin Mason of Ord
in Class B, but the best choice
for that Class would be in Joe
American Horse of Gordon who
set a new record last year in a
4:28.9 race.
The 120-yard high hurdle event
should provide a good race for
the spectators this weekend. In
the A race the man that should
get credit for the string busting
is Tom Sheldon of Lexington.
There are two more that will be
pressing Tom very close however,
in the personages of Jim Peterson
of Fremont and Larry B artels of
Beatrice. The mark for the high
sticks is in no immeduate danger.
The man umt should come out
tops for the whole event is Don
Purse of Valparaiso who has a
:15 clocking to put the state mark
of :15 in jeopardy.
The mile relay laurals should
fall, to Omaha Central who boast
a very strong sprint section. The
Eagles posted a 3:32.4 time in the
district. Bringing up the Class B
should be Beltevue. None of the
state marks for this event are be
ing threatened.
The lows mark could have easily
been shattered by Ray Knaub but
the lad withdrew in favor of the
sprints. Dave Wells of Benson ap
pears ready to cop the event bar
ring trouble.
m morire are exDected to fall
in the high jump, pole vault, broad
jump or the 880-yard relay, ra
,mrarf in these events are Bob
Els of Lincoln Northeast in the
high jump, Jim Kraft of Scotts
kiff in tha nnle vault. Larry Jan-
da or Bob Langfelt of Omaha
Tech, and Scottsbluff in the bhu-
yard relay because of their aepin
in the sprint section.
The shot put event will feature
Larry Fisher of Beatrice in the
spotlight. The big boy has flipped
the weight far over his 55-24 dis
tance record he set last year and
probably he will set another mark
this year.
In the platter throwing contest
the man to watch is Curtis Rutt of
Hastings. Rutt has anexcellent
chance of shattering the state rec
ord, although he has never ex
ceeded the distance.
The two mile mark is being
threatened by three teams in the
competition this year. Creighton
Prep is vying for the top posi
tion with their strong middle dis
tance runners but Boys Town and
Lincoln High are both strong con
tenders. a co-leader in another. Reimers
50 official at bats is tops and his
12 RBI's also paces the squad.
Reimers, Kane, and Larry Lewis
have scored all 14 runs. '
Sophomore Al Newbill is begin
ning to move towards a starting
spot. Newbill has four safeties in
eight times at bat including two
doubles and a home run with
seven runs batted in.
Several pitchers share in the
h u r 1 i n spotlight. Sophomore
Dwight Siebler has a 2-0 won lost
record but his 3.97. ERA is only
fourth on the squad.
Wisner southpaw Charles Ziegen
bein has a 2-1 mark and a 1.56
ERA The junior letterman has
been outstanding in his last two
starts. Ziegenbein has pitched
more innings (23) and struck out
more hitters (22) than any other
pitcher. The crafty lefty has
walked only four men this season.
Relief hurler Jim Kubacki has
a 2-1 record and another spark
ling earned run average. Little
"Kuba" has allowed only 2.23
earned runs for every nine in
nings that he has pitched.
Roger Bottorff also has the same
won lost mark and has a 3.68
ERA in 14 2-3 Innings of hurling.

Huskers Visit Mizzou;
Crucial Big Seven Test
By BOB WIRZ
Sports Staff Writer
Baseball coach Tony Sharpe and
his 17-man traveling squad left
yesterday for their big week end
series against Missouri. The first
contest is slated for this afternoon
with the customary doubleheader
on Saturday.
The three game set at Columbia
is another crucial test for both
teams as the Big Seven conference
race continues down to the wire
with five teams still in contention.
Missouri is currently pacing the
field with a 8-3 mark one and a half
games better than Nebraska. The
Huskers have a 5-3 conference
mark.
Sharpe feels that Nebraska must
win two of three games to stay
alive in the race. And, he believes
the Huskers will need to do more
hitting if this is to be done as
Missouri has about the best hit
ting club in the conference.
Southpaw Charles Ziegenbein is
slated to work on the hill for Ne
braska in the opener with Dwight
Siebler and either Bob Gleason or
Roger Bottorff handling the Sat
urday games.

Gary Reimers, centerfield; Larry

er; Gene Torczon, leftfield; Al
Newbill, first base; Jim Kubacki,

Other Huskers making the trip
are: Milan Shaw, catcher; John
Beideck, Gil Dunne, and Paul
Robinson, infielders; and John
Douthit,' outfielder.
Bengal Coach John Simmons
will use the same pitching form
he relied on in the Kansas State
series last week end. Bob Cooper
will work on Friday, with Ernie
Nevers and Don Miller doing the
Saturday chores. All three are un
beaten this spring. Miller's trusty
left arm has figured in five wins,
while sophomore stable-mate Coop
er has three triumphs. Nevers
was beaten out of his first triumph
last week end by a case of wild
ness in the seventh inning.
Missouri's hefty hitters include
Bo Toft, first baseman with a
.462 mark in 10 games, and captain
Jay Hankins hitting .404. Leftfield
er Hankins, has pounded out 13 of
his 19 safeties for extra bases. Six
of tht clouts went for home runs.
WHEN THE FISHING'S FINE, the gent in our Stickler spends
all day in a dory. He'll take along tons of tackle and buckets
of bait but if he forgets his Luckies, watch out! By the time
he gets to port, he'll be a mighty Cranky Yankee! You see,
you just can't beat a Lucky for taste. A Lucky is all cigarette
. . . nothing but fine tobacco mild, good-tasting tobacco
that's TOASTED to taste even better. So why fish around?
Try Luckies right now. You'll say they're the best-tasting
cigarette you ever smoked!
