Prep Track Stars
Bid In Record Meet
Over 800 Scheduled To Hit
Campus For Two Day Shoio
More than 800 Nebraska high school athletes will invade
the campus tomorrow for the annual state high school track
meet. From the standpoint of schools and athletes entered,
this will be the biggest show ever.
It may also be a record breaking show in the area of
track performances. This has
been a bad year for old rec
ords in Nebraska prep circles
and the high schoolers could
carry over their mark mak
Ing penchant into state com
petition.
Most likely candidates to
Set new records in their pet
events are Bob Cross of Boys
Town. Ray Knaub of Scotts
bluff, and Merlin Lawrence of
Alliance.
Cross will bid in the 440
yard dash. The Omaha star
recently set a new state high
school record in that event
when he ran :49.5 in the Co
lumbus district qualify
ing meet. The state meet rec
ord in the 440 is :50.5.
Knaub, whose brother Bob
Is a broad jumper on the Uni
versity freshman team, will
shoot for the 100 and 220 yard
dash marks.
Best Time Ties
His best times in the 100
tie the existing state meet
mark of .09.9. Knaub's best
chance of a new state meet
record is in the longer race
however, where he has done
:21.4, four tenths of a second
faster than the present meet
mark of ul.8.
Knaub will have compe
tition in the 100 that may
push him over the record
time. Roger Sayers, Omaha
Central flash, has also done
:09.9 and has qualified in both
the 100 and 220,
Lawrence's specialty is the
pole vault. The Alliance
smoothy has done 12'3A" in
his pet event to lead the state
In this category.
Half Mile Duel
Although their times are
not better than existing meet
records, several lads have a
chance to push the old stand
ards lower given fair weath
er and the breaks. One of the
top races should develop in
the half mile where Gene
Owen of Omaha Central and
Tom Komarek of Creighton
Prep will clash. Komarek has
the best time in the state in
this event, 1:59 flat, but Owen
has beaten Komarek twice,
both times running under two
minutes. The existing state
meet mark is 1:58 flat.
The hurdles appear to be
another event where top per
formances could develop with
men from the smaller schools
getting into the act here.
Conger Threatens
Jack Conger, last year's
gold medal winner from Au
rora, threatens the low hur
dles record of :19.8. The class
B speedster has done :20.1
and will have the advantage
of being pushed by another
standout performer. Larry
Brocicnaus of Madison has
done 20.5. a time which was
Conger's best before the dis
tnct qualifying meets, and
may pull an upset for . the
gold medalion.
The two will also duel in
the Class B high hurdles
They have identical 15.6
clockings in that event.

Hodgson Decision To Aid Huskers
Baton Team Underdog To Cowboys
By Randall Lambert
Sports Staff Writer
Nebraska's crack 440 yard
relay team will be the under
dog in the opening running
event of the Big Eight track
and field meet at Columbia,
Mo. In order to win, the Husk
er quartet of Jahr, Hodsoh,
Young, and Gardner will have
to catch the Oklahoma State
Cowboys, who were timed in
:40.1 last week. This is only
two-tenths of a second over
the world's record. Nebraska
has been close to :41.0 as
have their arch-rivals, Kansas.
Break For Huskers?
Nebraska may have gotten
a break when Oklahoma an
nounced that Gail Hodgson,
who runs as relaxed as a
school boy strolling home aft
er the 4:00 bell, probably will
concentrate on the mile and
two-mile, which will give him
an hour and 15 minute rest,
rather than the 880 which
comes only 35 minutes after
the finish of the mile. Horjg'
son has been under 1:50 in
the half and could probably
win both it and the mile. By
running in the two-mile, where
the Huskers are weak and
Kansas is strong, Hodgson
may beat Kansas out of a
first place and push the Jay
hawk point total down. It will
also give Nebraska's half mil
ers more chance to score.
Other contenders who could
possibly upset Hodgson in
elude the Jayhawk trio of de
fending champion Jerry Mc
Neal, Berry Crawford, and
Brian Travis plus indoor two-
mile lung Bemie Frakes
of Colorado and Duane Hoi-
man of Kansas State who was
fourth indoors. Frakes won in

Outstanding Athlete:
Reimers, Brand First
Nominees For Atvard
First nominations for the Daily Nebraskan's Athlete of
the Year award are Dan Brand and Gary Reimers. Both
athletes earned Star of the Week awards earlier in the year
for their .outstanding performance,?,, ;
Brand, a fifth year man in, his final year of competition
on t n e nusKer wrestling
team, was one of the most
successful matmen produced
at the University in several
years. Originally a basket
ball player, he did not be
come interested in wrestling
until his junior year. j
In his first two years he 1

surfSTci'with a strong winning streak
Reimers which earned him the Star
of the Week honor.
The agile heavyweight finished fourth in the Big Eight
conference matches. He also won the heavyweight title at
the Midwest AAU Wrestling tournament at Omaha after the
college season had ended. .
Reimers was one of the leaders in Nebraska's success
ful basketball campaign. The 5'9" playmaker was high scorer
for the team, with a total of 240 points.
Gary captained a spirited Cornhusker squad to startling
upset victories over the first and third top teams in the
nation, Kansas State and Kansas.
He was selected on the All Big Eight first team lineup
by the Daily Nebraskan, and he was recognized by nearly
all the major sports publications as one of the finest players
in the conference.
The hustling senior from Millard is also a standout base
ball player. He has started in center field on Tony Sharpe's
Scarlet baseball team for the past two seasons. He has been
hitting consistently around the .300 mark for the past two
years.
Fans are urged to submit their nominations as soon as
possible, so that the choice of Athlete of the Year may be
made next week. Any varsity athlete is eligible for the award
regardless of his class in school. Submit your entries to
George Moyer, room 20 of the Student Union.

Hodgson . t Two mile
doors in 9:15.3 after a stretch
duel with McNeal.
McNeal won the Henry
Schulte award, which is given
to the most outstanding per
former in the Big Eight out
door track meet, for his rec
ord breaking 9:09.1 two-mile
last year. Fast improving Bill
Melody, Nebraska's lone en
try, may find the going a lit
tle too tough.
Help Needed
Nebraska may also need
help in the quarter. Last year
Kansas took four of the six
but will have trouble
doing it this year. Tops on
the quarter list is Chuck Carl
son of Colorado. Last week
end Carlson blazed to a 47.2
timing in the Rocky Mountain
A.A.U. meet. Right behind
Carlson is Ken Covert of Okla
homa State and Hi Gernert of
Oklahoma. Both have been
under :48.0.
Kansas will be represented
Dy Kay Wyatt, third outdoors
last year, Mike Cummins, one
place behind Wyatt outdoors
last year, and Verne Gauby,
who beat Wyatt in the Missouri-Kansas
dual last week
end. Deloss Dobbs will also
probably get a share of the
quarter. The Kansas State
star was fifth outdoors last
year, fourth indoors this year
and has been hitting around
:j.o tms spring.
Don House is the only Husk
er close to :49.0. He will have
to beat his previous marks to
even place. Other Nebraska
entries are Bruce Skinner and
Don Ficke.
LaFleur In Javelin
Bill LaFleur holds NebraS'
ka's hope for points in the
javelin. Last year LaFleur
placed third in the big show
with a heave w 189'-10
Against Michigan State, last
weekend, LaFleur threw the
javelin 202 feet. However, he
may have trouble duplicat
ing his 1957 finish. Ralph
wiilard of Kansas State has
been over 210 feet several
times this spring and rates
the favorites role. Jim Lun
derholm of Kansas finished
third at the Drake relays with
208'-5" mark and team
mate John Book was fourth
at Drake with a 204'-ll"
throw. Roger Francke of Col
orado has also been near, the
200 foot mark and should
place.
Coach Frank Sevigne pretty
well summed up Nebraska's
chances at Columbia when he
said. "Everything will have
to be going exactly right for
us, but we could win the con
ference. I can't believe that
Kansas will have its usual
runaway this time."

Draw To Decide Chances
In Loop Tennis Meet
"We'll know a lot more
Thursday night."
That's what Nebraska's ten
nis coach, Ed Higgenbotham
had to say about the coming
Big Eight tennis tournament
m Columbia Missouri this
weekend.
now we do depends in a
large measure on the luck of
the draw, and we won't know
how that will go until Thurs
day night at 8 p.m.," Hig
genbotham commented.
Two Day Meet
The meet, a two day affair
on the University of Mis
souri's courts, is really a
combination of seven tourna
ments. Each squad enters
five singles players plus two
aouDies teams. The number
one singles men meet each
other in a single elimination
tournament, as do the num
ber two's three's and so on.
The overall winner of the
tourny is the team scoring the
most wins in all of the seven
tournaments.
Oklahoma won six of the
seven individual and doubles
titles here in Lincoln last
year to take the first place
crown. Only title the Sooners
lost was the number four sin
gles which went to Ron Latta
of Colorado. Art Weaver was
the only Husker to nab a vic
tory last year, taking a 6-4,
4-6, 6-4 match from Allen
Chaplin of Kansas State. The
Huskers picked up one win on
bye in the first round of
the number one doubles.
Prospects Improved
Prospects for Nebraska
have improved considerably
this season. The Huskers go
into the Missouri tournaments
with a 7-5 mark for the year
and victories over Kansas and

to be the team to beat. The
Buffs dealt Oklahoma a 4-3
loss in Norman April 3 and
roared to five wins in their
first six contests. Latta will
be back to defend his num
ber four crown while Bob
Wright will bid strongly in
the number two spot.
Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State, are expected to give
the Buffs a run for their
money. Oklahoma's coach,
Bemie Walraven, commented
that "Colorado has better bal
ance but Oklahoma State il
better at the top vth Poin
zer and Ramming."
Cowboys Win Twice
Oklahoma State has
bumped the Sooners twice In
dual competition, both times
by 4-3 margins. The Sooners
were without their rangy ace,
Joe Harris in both of those
defeats, however. Harris was
number two champ in Lincoln
last year, but his availability
at Columbia remains in
doubt.
Other squads which may
break through are Kansas
State and Iowa State. They
both downed Kansas by iden
tical margins, 4-3. Nebraska
won from Iowa State, but suf
fered a 6-1 pasting on the out
door courts in Manhattan two
weeks ago.
Higgenbotham will tend
George Fisk into the scram
ble as his number one man.
Bill North will play number
two, Art Weaver number
three, Bruce Russell number
four, and Charlie Kress,
number five. Fisk and North
will team for the number one
doubles while Weaver and
Russell will pair up for the
number two doubles.
