A dollar wfll give sports'
fans a lot of entertainment
this weekend. Not only will
they get a preview of next
year's Cornhusker football
team, but they will also get
a chance to see the Kansas
track team, which is being
touted as the possible new
NCAA track and field cham
pions. '
Although th. year's fresh
men and transfer students will
give Nebraska more depth
and seemingly more power
than in previous years, it is
best pot to get too eager for
a lot of wins next fall.. Not
only do they face another
rough non-conference sched-

Jennings Names Seventeen New
Gornhuskers to First Three Units
Seventeen of the players
named to the first three units
by Football Coach Bill Jen
nings for tomorrow's Alumni
erenwcomers. Four are trans
Varsity football game are
newcomers. Four are trans
fer students and the others
are products of last fall's un
defeated freshman team.
Sketches of the newcomers:
Pat Clare A 190 pound, 6
foot, right halfback from Lin
coln. Attended Sioux City (Io
wa) East High School where
he lettered in football, bas
ketball and track. An all

ner. Doane Dubois A sopho
more tackle from Niagara
Falls, New York. The 6' 3",
vie, but they also are going
to be playing Big Eight teams
that get better every year.
How good these new Huskers
are is not known. However,
remember that most of them
are p-laying behind last year's
veterans. Even Saturday's
game will not prove a whole
lot unless the Varsity runs
all over the alums, which
hasnt hardened in a Varsity-
Alumni test yet. Probably the
only persons who wm have
a good idea of how much bet
ter this bunch of Huskers is
than the team last year are
fellows like Larry Naviaux,
Dick McCashland, - Dennis
Emanuel, George Harshman
and others that will graduate
this spring.
The KU Javhawks will be
bringing a couple national
champions with them when
they mix spikes with the
Husker track team. Ernie
Shelby, the only Negro track
caDtain in KU history." won
the NCAA broad jump last
year. He is one of n men in
the world to ton 26 feet.
Right along side Shelby is
Charlie Tidwell. While an un
known hieh school senior at
Independence, Kansas, he up
set a heralded lw-yard low
hurdle field in the Wichita
Relavs. that included Henry
Weibe of Missouri, who was
a senior at Newton, Kansas,
by skipping over the low
sticks in 18.5 for a new na
tional hieh school mark. He
duolicated this feat last year
in college when he won the
NCAA 220 low hurdles in 2Z.7
thus settine a new American
mark. The sophomore then
came back to place third in

Tracksters Face Neiv
Heirs to NCAA Title
Memorial Stadium and Ne-
braska Kansas Dual track
records will be under heavy
fire when the highly touted
Jayhawks and the Huskers
meet at 12:30 Saturday as a
part of All-Sports Day.
Bill Alley, Kansas' great
Javelin thrower, is a near
cinch to break the meet rec
ord in his specialty and will
probably set a new Memorial
Stadium record. The meet
record is 197 feet, 10 inches
set by Dick Piderit of Ne
braska in 1949 and the Stadi
um record of 248 feet 10 inches
was set by Steve Seymour of
the Los Angeles Athletic Club
in 1947.
World Record
Alley is a 6 foot 3, 217
pound junior from Short Hills,
New Jersey. He set the Amer
ican record this year with a
270 foot Vi inch throw in the
Texas Relays. This is only
ten feet short cf the world
record of 281 feet 2 inches set
by Norway's Egil Danielsen
in 1956.
The meet record in the
mile run will be in danger
when Tom Skutka and Cliff
Cushman of Kansas and Joe
Mullins and Joe American
Horse of Nebraska hear the
starters gun. The meet rec
ord is 4:12.3 and was set by
Wes Santee of Kansas in 1949
and tied by Santee in 1952.
The Stadium record is also
held by Santee with a 4:03.7 in
1953, but it appears to be out
of reach of the milers run
ning tomorrow.
Ernie Shelby, Kansas' great
broad jumper is a good bet
to erase the meet mark cf 24
feet in that event. Shelby won
the Kansas Relays witli a
jump of 25 feet 3li inches.
Shelby is a 5-10 150 pounder
and is defending NCAA title-

The pole vault record could
go by the boards if the Husk
en Ken Pollard can regaiu
his indoor vaulting form. Pol
lard set a Nebraska record
in an indoor meet with a vault
of 14 feet 6 inches, but he
took a tumble while vaulting
down south during spring va
cation and hasn't been per
forming up to par since.
The meet record of 1:53.3
in the 8S0-yd. run could be
lowered by any of the fol
lowing three: Bob Tague and
Tom Skutka of Kansas or Joe
Mullins of Nebraska. Mullins
ran a 1:53 half-mile against
Oklahoma State in an earlier
outdoor meet and has a
1:52.6 to his credit on the
anchor leg of the Huskers
two-mile relay team at the
Kansas Relays.'

both teams before the Big
