'ins from last years team, which
won third In the Big Eight Indoor
for Coach Frank Seveigne, this
marked the fifth straight Memori
al Stadium win for the Huskers.
Keith Gardner, who has never
been beaten on the home track,
scored his fifth consecutive slam
of the hurdles and 60 yard dash
competition in the East Stadium.
Gardner's triple victory led the
Nebraska parade of seven first
places, first and second In four
events and the first three places in
another.
Three meet and two stadium
records were rewritten, while
Gardner's :07.4 in the high hurdles
equaled his meet and stadium
mark.
In the shot put Phil Delevan of
Iowa State beat his own meet and
stadium mark with a heave of
53-10. His last toss went for 55
104 but he scratched.
In the mile relay Kansas States'
team of Larry French, Jim Vad
er, Gene O'Conner and DeLoss
Dodds knocked two tenths of a
second off their meet mark and
one tenth of a second off the old
Stadium record set by Oklahoma.
Duane Holman, Kansas State I
sophomore, completed the list of!
record holders with a -9:39.5, bet-1
tering Bob Elwood's 1957 record
of 9:44.2.
Joe Mullins, sophomore mile
star, might have clipped another
record from the books, this one
Wes Santee's mile mark of 4:17.6,
had it not been for an official's
error.

thought the Courtesy Lincoln Journal
final gun was the signal for the
last lap. After wing from the side
lines, he cruised the approximate
ly 250 yard course for the eighth
time. When everyone finally
stopped running, the officials
guessed Joe's time at 4:20.7, but
unofficial sideline observers placed
the mark much closer to 4:13.
Higgenbotham said after the
race, "I really goofed."
In spite of the extraneous final
lap, Mullins bested bis nearest
competitor, Ron Sanson of Iowa
State, by 20 yards. He got good
help from sophomore colleague
Mike Flemming who finished
third.
With the showings of Mullins
and Flemming, Nebraska showed
encouraging power in the distance
jaunts. Knolly Barnes whipped out
a win in the 880 followed by an
other Husker, Ken Ash.
It might have been different far
the Huskers however, if Tom
Roda, Kansas State mile star,
could have attended. Roda fell to
the' flu bug and was unable to
make the trip.

Ineligibility
Claims Two
Husker Aces
Dale Knotek and Lyle Nannen,
a pair of stellar senior performers,
have been declared ineligible for
further athletic competition at Ne
braska. Nannen, 6'3" guard who had
piled up a total of 49 points in the
first 15 basketball games this sea
son, failed to clear the semester
exam hurdle, according to Colise
um sources.
Knotek, who has cleared 6'4" in
the high jump, has used up his
varsity cdmpetition, according to
Athletic publicity director, John
Bently.
In checking records, it was dis
covered that Knotek had competed
in two varsity meets the first se
mester of 1954-55 before becoming
ineligible for the remainder of the
season. He thus completed the al
lowable three years of varsity
competition.
