By ELMER KRAL
Sports Staff Writer
The future of track at Nebraska J
U on the upswing. This year s
squad is composed of top athletes
from Nebraska, neighboring
states, the commonwealth of Can
ada and Jamaica, and Trinidad.
Under the astute leadership of
Frank Sevigne, and Freshman
coach Ike Hanscom, the Huskers
have already made their strong
points known via good showings
in the triangular meet against Io- j js the leading Big 8 hurdler as
va State and Kansas State, and j well -s being an excellent sprinter

that Oklahoma and Kansas will be
the teams to beat this year. Kan-
with Missouri second place fol-
lowed by Nebraska.
There seems to be an air of
optimism about Nebraska's chanc
es this year. Look for the Huskers
to be in second place if not first
when the final Run has sounded
at Kansas City this arch 1st.
" Heading the list of varsity mem
bers this season is Keith Gardner,
mainstay of last year's team and

440, promises to be one of the best
athletes to ever run on Nebraska's 1
track.
Bill Hawkins, who Is completing
a brilliant athletic career at Ne
braska, will be an important cog
in the hurdles and the broad
jump.
One must examine the Huskers
even by event in order to get the
true picture of Husker chances this
year.
In the distance races, Mullins is
the leader followed by Bob El
wood, Bill Melody, and Frank
Morrison.
In the 880, Knolly Barnes, leads
the field. Knolly 's best time is
1:53.5. Mike Fleming, Ken Ash,
and Don House, aid Barnes in giv
ing the HusKers tremendous
strength in this event. All of
these men have run in 1:54 or
better. '
The 419 field has, in addition to
Mullins, Fleming and Den House,
alor:g with Dick Jahr, Don Ficke,
Land Bruce Skinner, are returning
iettermen who also add strength
in this event.
Gardner leads a formidable
crew in the sprints. Don Phillips,
has done 6 J in the 60 yd. dash
and he will - have abie assistance 1
in Dick Jahr, and Tom Hodion,
transfer from New Mexico. Hod
son, who has been slow to recover
from a leg injury incurred last
fall, may be the darkhorse of the
Husker squad. Tom has done 9.5
in the 1O0 yrd. dash and 21.3 in
the 220.
Nebraska's timbertoppers prom
ise to be the best in the Big 8
and maybe throughout the Mid
west. The hurdle reby team's
showing at Michigan will support
this statement. Behind Gardner,
Keith Young, Hawkins, and Mar
ten will make up Nebraska' en
tries in this event.
Thr field e'ents may prove to
be the Hnskers weak spot. Lots
of Dale Knota-k ia tbe high mo
was a severe blow. Hale Krerrik
and Rob Lammel will try to make
up for Kootek's departure.
The broad jump looks a little
more promising. Back and im-
p-oved from last year are jump
ers Hawkins, Charles Wollaston, ;
Don Phillips and Lammel.
' The Huekers are also spread thin 1
in the poie vault. Ken Pollard and
Den Blank are the main Husker
hopes in this event. Pollard prom
ises to be one of the beet vaulters
in the Big 8. He has cleared 13-8
this year.
The shot, like the vault, is weak.
Main Husker hope is Don Olson,
ace Husker tackle of last fall's
foo.ball team. Olson is also aided
by Don Nelson.

Wrestling Mentor
Ex World Champion
AAU Ruling Hurt
" Repeat Chances
By KENT WALTON
Sports Staff Writer
Except for a desire to teach, Husker wrestling coach,
Bill Smith might have been a two time Olympic champion.
Smith won his weight class in the 1952 Olympics at Hel
sinki end was chosen again for the 1953 games but the
AAU ruled that he was a professional for having coached
a high school team. I
He had coached at Rock Island,
Illinois, for 4 years and in his last
year, 1956, his team won the stats
championship. Last year before
coming to Nebraska, he coached
at Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Smith, who was graduated from
Iowa State Teachers College, was
two time NCAA champion and
three time AAU champion and
had an undefeated career in col
lege wrestling. He wrestled at the
167 pound class although he went
dowTi to 160 for the Olympics. Be
sides the trip to Helsinki, he has
also toured with a group of U.S.
wrestlers in Turkey and Japan.
He was also elected to the Helms
Foundation Wrestling Hall of
Fanx. Smith is married and he
father of five yougstres, two boys
and three girls.
One of the most noticeable char
acteristics about Smuh is his ra
diant enthusiasm. He never tires
o' talking about wrestling, and is
conducting a campaign to increase
interest in the sport throughout
the state. On March 21, he will
conduct a Wrestling Clinic for
physical educators in Nebraska at
Grand Island. He is also conduct
ing his own scouting and recruiting
program in Nebraska, Iowa, Illi
nois and Minnesota. Just this year
he has gotten 10 tuition scholar
ships for wrestling and has three
out at the present time
Li some of the meets this year,
Smith has had only three with high
school experience. Ke compares
this with sending a team of high
school football players to play

against Colorado. Commenting on
the outlook far the yesr, Smith
predicted a 1-10 record for the
team, with better results from
hard extra work. Incidentally the
record is now 1-5 and the one vic
tory was not one he had antici
pated so his hard work must have
paid off a.Uttle. Among the re
maining meets of the season are
one with his old Alma Mater, Io
wa State Teachers, on Feb.
28, and the Big 3 meet on March
14 and 15.
