Seek 3rd Victory
By Janet Sack
The Husker track team will go after its third victory when
they entertain Colorado and Kansas State Saturday in a tri
angular. Field and track events both will begin at 2 p.m. on
the East Stadium indoor track.
"This meet is going to be a lot rougher and tougher than
the other ones," Coach Frank Sevigne said. "Where we're
strong, the hurdles, broad jump, pole vault, and shot put, we
may get cut up.'
The Colorado Buffs will in
vade Nebraska with a team
especially strong in the broad
jump, shot put, pole vault,
440, 600, and possibly the
880, Coach Sevigne said.
Heading the broad jump
will be Bill Toomey, holder
of the Memorial stadium rec
ord with a jump of 24-4. He
will be backed up by Don
Meyers who has been jump
ing consistently more than 23
feet.
Meyers will be strong in the
pole vault with his best ef
fort being 14-2. Nebraska's
Jim Kraft is credited with
14-0 pr his best. Roger Olan
der, another top Buff vault
er, will see no action because
of a pulled muscle.
Clise in Shot
Colorado's shot putter Bob
Crumpacker will be attempt
ing to out toss Nebraska'a Al
Wellman and Larry Reiners,
and Kansas State's Ron Stout.
Jim Heath of Colorado has
covered the 440 in :48.9 and
has posted a 600 mark of
1:12.0, three-tenths of a sec
ond under the Big Eight rec
ord held by Husker Joe Mul
lins. With the Kansas State team
comes the Big Eight hurdle
king Rex Stucker. Stucker will
have plenty of competition
with the Nebraska hurdlers
in the form of Milt Haedt,
Bill Fasano, Fred Wioke, and
Bob Knaub.
Wildcats Bob Groszek and
Pat McNeal will give the
Huskers strong competition
in the 600, 1000, and the mile.
Larry Wagner is also one of
the stronger Wildcat middle
distance men.
Nebraska's hopes are
pinned on Knaub in the broad
jump. Knaub turned in a leap
of 23-8 against Drake and
Iowa State last week.
In the high jump Wilke and
Vayden Anderson will carry
the burden for the Huskers.
