Victory came so near, yet
eluded the Nebraska indoor
track team at the 34th annual

the pole vault to win the
meet.

Kansas clear the pole vault
bar at 14-10 to give the Jay
hawks the victory. If Mis
souri's Mike Clark, who

have managed a tie with
Stevens, Nebraska would
have come out on top.

Husker sophomore Juris Jesi-
fer tied for fifth at 13-10 with
Phil Roark of Oklahoma and
Charles Wiley of Missouri.

ens of Nebraska. Stevens led
the first part of the race be
fore Dotson took over the
lead and maintained it. Ted
Riesinger of Kansas pulled
into second place in the last
couple of laps, but Stevens
produced his final kick and
took the Jayhawks with plen
ty to spare.
The 600-yard run proved fa
tal to talented sophomore Gil
Gebo of Nebraska, via New

Perhaps the most spectacu
lor and exciting event of the
evening was the two-mile run
when Mike Fleming of Ne
braska beat out Charles Hay-
ward of Kansas for the blue
ribbon. Fleming ran in the
second and third positions be
hind Hayward and Danny
Metcalf of Oklahoma State
most of the way. On the last
lap Fleming started moving
up fast and shot past a sur
prised Hayward to .break- the
tape in 9:17.6. This was
Fleming's best two-mile time
this season.
Kirk Hagen, 1961 champion
in the 1000-yard run, success
fully defended his title by
winning the event. Sophomore
John Portee of Nebraska fin
ished a strong second with
Tim Leonard of Oklahoma
third. There is no official time
for this event because the of
ficials made an error in
measuring the distance on the
track.
Miler Dotson made a good
comeback in the 880-yard run
which he Won in-1:56.9.' He
and Strong were the meet's
only double winners. Thorn

and Stevens of Nebraska
came in third.

Just three little words
from Husker assistant coach
Ike Hanscom summed up the
track meet from the Husker
standpoint: "It's all over.''
It may be all over for the
indoor season, but the Husker
tracksters still have the fight
ing spirit and the cry is now
"Wait 'till the outdoor meet "
After all 11-12 of a point
isn't as large a victory as
the long-dominant Jayhawks
of Kansas would have liked.
I'm not crying "foul" be
cause Nebraska lost, but if
the officials had been a little
more on the ball, the o u t
come may have been
changed. From a reliable
source, I found out that Ne
braska should have had the
first and second places in the
60-yard dash and not first and
third.

Correctly.
Kansas does have someone
to be proud of in miler Bill
Dotson. He is a champion in
every sense of the world. He
won a good mile and came
back to take the 880. Bill
was presented the Glenn Cun
ningham trophy by former
Kansas great West Santce.
An overall look at the meet
shows that It was a hard
fought contest between Ne
braska and Kansas. The two
will have a chance to battle
for the outdoor crown in May
and it should be just as tight
a meet as the one Saturday.
Congratulations are in or
der for all the performances
turned in by Nebraskans at
the meet. Special praise goes
to individual winners Ron
Moore; Fred Wilke, Don Deg
nan and Mike Fleming.
The Huskers made a tre
mendous improvement over
their seventh place finish last
year. Coaches Frank Sevigne
and Ike Hanscom can be
proud of themselves and their
boys. '
