Luckless Huskers Fumble Kansas Relays Record Chances
Monday, April 21, 1958
VAAAVOMO
Mullins, Fleming Encourage
With Good Half Mile Times
Bad breaks and record times were the story of Nebras
ka's disappointing showing in the 33rd annual Kansas Relays.
The tight competition resulted in seven new records and out
standing performances in other events.
The Husker 440 relay team
blew a comfortable lead when
they had a bad pass of the
baton In the preliminaries.
They finished too far back to
qualify for the finals. Three of
the four teams which finished
on top in the finals had been
beaten by Nebraska in the
Texas Relays.
The 880-yard relay team,
which consisted of Keith Gard
ner, Don Hodson, Keith
Young, and Dick Jahr, fin
ished in third place behind
Oklahoma State and Texas
The winning time by the Cow-
pokes of 1:23.5 broke the pre
vious record set by Texas of
1:24.2. Nebraska was timed in
1:25.2.
Spartans Win
The Nebraska 2-mile relay
team of Mullins, Barnes,
Ash and Fleming, which was
favored to win along with
Michigan State, finished in
sixth place as the Spartans
won in the record time of
7:24.8. This was over seven
seconds faster than the pre
vious record held by Kansas.
However, even in defeat there
were two bright moments for
th Huskers in the 2-mile re
lay. One was the 1:53 last leg
run by Mik Fleming and the
other was the 1:56.3 opening
leg by Joe Mullins in his
first 880 competition since a
foot operation.
The sprint medley relay
team also fell heir to some

of the same misfortune as
the 440 relay team had.
Keith Gardner opened up
with a sizzling 45.5 440 leg
and a 15 yard lead. This
was the fastest 440 time in
the country until Saturday
when Eddie Southern of Tex
as ran a 44.9 anchor in his
team's mile relay victory.
Following Gardner's open
ing 440, Dick Jahr and Keith
Young maintained the lead
during their 220 legs, but it
had dwindled down to about
three yards when Young gave
the baton to Mike Fleming in
the fourth lane.
Wrong Lane
Fleming failed to cut to the
inside and ran the first curve
of his 880 in the fourth lane,
while Gail Hodgeson of Okla
homa and Don Loadman of
Houston passed him on the
inside. Fleming couldn't make
up the distance and the Husk
ers finished third in the heat
and fourth when all the times
from all the heats were put
together. Oklahoma was timed
in 3:13.5, well under the old
record of 3:20.2 set by Kan
sas in 1954. Nebraska's fourth
place time of 3:20 was also
under the old record.
McKee Evens Score
Gardner was also beaten in
the 120-yard high hurdles. He
lost by a step to Buddy Mc
Kee of East Texas State. Mc
Kee's time was :14.0. This
was identical to the time re
corded by Gardner when he
beat McKee in the Texas re
lays. Bill Marten of Nebras

his second unit counterpart,
each got two touchdowns.
Fischer's scores were on

Tennis Win
Rampaging Squail
Blanks Creighton
The Husker tennis team,
still rebellious after loosing
four of five on their spring
tour, shut out Creighton
Thursday for their third
straight whitewash job.
The match was a playoff of
a previously postponed con
test scheduled for last Friday.
Leading the Huskers was
Rill North, coach Ed Higgen
both's number one player.
North overpowered Frank
Bemis. 6-2, 6-2.
North got good support
from Bruce Russell, whose
smashing service and net
game gained him a 6-2. 6-4
win. Veteran George Fisk's
sharp cross-court placements
proved too much for Creigh
ton's George Thompson, and
Fisk breezed to a 6-2, 6-1 vic
tory. Charlie Kress, although
having some trouble with his
service, used a convincing
back court game to out-stroke
Mike Weaver, 6-1. 6-3.
Sophomore Bill Kendall
made his debut a successful
one with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over
Mark Hartman.
The doubles teams made
short work of their opponents
with North and Russell win
ning over Belicz and Thomp
son 6-2, 6-2. Fisk and Kress
defeated Bemis and Weaver,
6-2, 6-1.

a successful windup for the
season. All but two of the re

several other long gainers.
Fischer had plenty of hard
running company in the num
ber one backfield. Dick Mc
Cashland, a center turned full
back, trundled 41 yards to set
up one of the eight scores of
the workout. He smashed
three yards to score another
while showing better than
average speed.
Seconds Hot
The Husker second unit, not
content to let the first have
all the fun, did some power
house running and blocking
themselves. Martz reeled off
19 and 24 yard gains during
his tour, but his most impres
sive work was a shift and
dodge production with a fum
ble recovered on the three.
The 180 pound sophomore
scampered for a first and ten
on the 30 in spite of heavy
resistance.
Martz Passes
Martz also passed to end
Bill Tuning from 25 yards out
for another touchdown and the
climax of a busy day.
Other squadmen impressive
in the drill were John Min
nick, freshman fullback, Lee
Bigelow, tiny halfback, and
Mike Cowan, sophomore
tackle.

Home Runs Aid First Win,
Ziegenbein Pitches Second
Nebraska's baseball squad got back on the winning trail
with two victories in three games over Iowa State's defending
conference champions Friday and Saturday.
The Huskers, who last weeki
had troubles with the gopher
ball in loosing two to Missouri,
found the home run range
themselves in the first game
which ended 16-6 for Nebras
ka. Doug Sieler, Jerry McKay,
Jim Kane and Ken Rusinger
all teed off on Iowa State
pitching. Sieler and Kane
got theirs off Iowa State
ace Gene Lafferty in a sev
en run seventh Inning.. The
Husker outburst brok a 4-4
tie and gave Dwight Siebler
his fourth straight win, in
his second complete game.
Rusinger, whose blast was
his second of the year, got his
with two mates aboard in the
eighth. The big first baseman
batted in five runs on three
hits during the contest. McKay
got his, an inside the park
solo production, in the sixth
to tie.
Ziegenbein Takes Second
Nebraska won the second
game behind an improved
Charly Ziegenbein, 7-3. Zieg
enbein, who has been trou
bled by wildness, gave only
two walks and three runs in
his seven inning stint.
The Huskers stacked him to
a four run lead in the first
on three walks and two Cy
clone errors. They added two
more in the second and a
single in the seventh for good
measure.
The seven runs were man
ufactured on only five hits,
but Iowa State passed out
five errors and six bases on
balls v to smooth the Husk
er's road.
The third game of the series
went to the Cyclones 13-6. Io
wa State collected five runs
in the fifth to put things safely
in the deep freeze, but Lefty
Hevner had already given up
