DVAL FILTER DOES IT! Former NU 880 Ace, 'Cup,' Recalls Races By JAN SACK Sports Staff Writer "I had butterflies in my stomach just like when I was running," said Harold Kopf, known better to some of his colleagues as "Cupper" or cup," after the Colorado- Nebraska track meet. Kopf graduated from Ne braska in 1950 and while he was here he made a name for himself in track. He's an old 880 man and track still looks as good to him now as it did when he was runnine. During his college career Kopf ran under former head track coach Ed Weir. In dis cussing the halfmile event after the dual last Saturday, Kopf said, "They run it now the way I used to. They just give it heck all the way. "For a while the 880 men would pace themselves and then spurt at the end. But I never could do that because I didn't have that extra oomph." Coach Weir, standing near Kopf, said, "He gave a race everything he had." The former Husker track star stands about 5-10 and has maintained his athletic dren build. When he first came to Weir as a freshman and wanted to run, he weighed 200 pounds. The coach told him to get rid of some of that weight and promptly sent him out to run cross country. By the indoor season Kopf was aown to a trim 162 pounds. After the track sea son he shot up to 200 pounds again and went through thp same cross country schedule every fall to get rid of the excess weight. "Oh, how I hated to rim that two miles. But, I always did," he added smilini' ' When the "Cupper" ran. he ran to win and his best 880 time was a sparkline 1:53 7 i ne Colorado-Nebraska dual was the first indoor mpM ivopt nag seen since he grad uated. "It sure was hard to sit in the stands," he said I like track because it's an individual sport. Yet it takes every individual in a team effort win," Kopf said. Ana wnat does the former star do now?
