Meet As Huskers Remain Unbeaten
By ELMER KRAL
Sports Staff Writer
A crowd of nearly 1800 packed
Memorial Stadium indoor track
Saturday afternoon, and they were
treated to perhaps the greatest
exhibition of track ever put on by
a Nebraska team.
The Husker cindermen beat
Oklahoma by a 54 2-3 to 49 1-3
count in what turned out to be a
record shattering type meet. The
Huskers showed some dazzling
team effort but Keia Gardner
stole the spotlight.
Gardner, a seemingly infallible
chap, put on one of the greatest
demonstrations by any one indi
vidual in this institution's track
history.
In addition to unofficially tying
two world records, Gardner broke
one stadium record, two meet
records and maintained his unde
feated record on Nebraska's in
door track.
Ther were other equally good
performances by members of both
squads. Joe Mullins, Knolly
Barnes. Keith Young, and Capt,
Bill Hawkins turned in some top
notch performances and showed
that they will be rough customers
to contend with come the Big 8
indoor finals.
Larry Neely, George Church,
and Gail Hodgson were standouts
for Oklahoma. Hodgson, who was
very impressive in the long races
with his long, smooth, strides and
unfaltering pace, set two meet rec
ords and one stadium record.
Shot First Record .
The Erst record of the afternoon
occurred in the shot put. Okla
homa's Church heaved the . iron
ball 53'7Vi for a new stadium and
meet record.
Considerable tension and excite
ment mounted as time drew near
for the mile run, which was sup
posed to be one of the feature
events of the day. Everyone an
ticipated a terrific duel between
Hodgson and Mullins.
A close race didn't materialize.
Hodgson took over the lead from
Nebraska's Marplea at the fourth
lap and from then on Mullins was
unable to catch him. Hodgson won
by nearly 40 yards over Mullins
who was hampered by a sore an
kle. The time was 4:15.3, a new
meet and stadium record.
Glvens Edged
Next came the 60 yard dash.
More tension mounted as Nebras
ka' highly touted Keith Gardner
was expected to lock up in a tight
duel with Oklahoma's Dee Givens.
Gardner, the colorful and ever
confident Jamaican, proceeded to
tie, unofficially, the world's indoor
record. Keith got of f to a lightning
fast start and he was pushed all
the way by Givens. Gardner's
time of 6:1 also tied the stadium
record and set a new meet rec
ord. The next record breaking per
formance was again by Gardner.
Keith skimmed the 60 yard high
hurdles in 7.3 to set a new meet
and stadium record Keith Young
and Bill Marten finished right be
hind to provide the meet's only
slam of the afternoon.
Mulling Comes Back
The most thrilling race of the
day was the 830 yard run. Okla
homa's highly touted Gary Parr
was expected to push Nebraska's
Sevigne
Mark Preserved
Knolly Barnes to a new meet rec
ord. Joe Mullins, who earlier had
finished a dismal second to Hodg
son in the mile, came back with
a vengeance in this shorter race.
Parr led the first two laps but
then Canadian Joe began to pour
on the steam. Joe passed Parr
and teammate Barnes and then he
cut to the inside at tlie start of the
southwest turn. Barnes passed
Parr at the beginning of the back
stretch and then the race was
all between Mullins and Barnes,
Mullins won with a record break
ing time of 156.2,: but Barnes was
only two steps behind for a 1:56.6
clocking.
Another new meet and stadium
record was set in the gruelling
two mile race when Oklahoma's
Hodgson won in 9:35.3. Here again
he showed his enormous amount

Final Record
The final record of the after
noon was again set by Gardner.
Keith turned in his second unof
ficial tying of a world mark when
he won the 60 yard low hurdles in
6.8. It is interesting to note that
Harrison Dillard another Jamai
can, holds the World indoor rec
ord for this event along with
Gartiser, former Missouri star.
In the broad lump, Bill Hawk-
ings performed brilliantly. On his
first jump he marked off 23 '2 and
after that he was consistently
around 23 all afternoon long. Keith

Colorado Hoopsters Visit Coliseum Tonight
By TOM FROLIK
Sports Staff Writer
The Buffalos from Colorado In
vade the Coliseum Monday night,
at 8 p.m. Currently in the throes
ot a losing season afffer last year's
fine 14-9 record, the Buffs will also
have to combat the spirit produced
on. Nebraska's home court. When
the Colorado team came to Lin
coln last year, they ran up against
a red hot Husker team and were
swamped 74-52.
Colorado lost several top m e n
through graduation and are think
ing of buijding this year. J i m
Jochems, 6'8" center, is the heavy
scorer in the Buffalo attack. Al
though slowed in the early part
of the season with a leg injury,
Jochems seems to have hit his
stride in Colorado's upset of Iowa
State, 45-36, Jan. 20. Forward Leo
Hayward and guard Gerry Scbroe
der have also contributed much to
the Colorado scoring punch.
At the start of the season Sox
VYalseth, head coach of the Buf
falos, stated that the Big Eight will
be a real good conference and that
Colorado would spring a surprise
or two somewhere along the way.
Kansas ran into one of these sur
prises February 10 when the Buffi
used a folding zone on Wilt Cham
berlain and held him to t points.
The Kansas power held true though
they eased past the Buffs, 90-41.
The loss left Colorado In the Big
Eight cellar with one win and six
defeats.
Nebraska will meet its chief
obstacle against the Buffs which
is height.
