BACK PAGE BUCKSHOT Odds Ends Today Lots of buck and more shot today. First and foremost on this writer's mind is the Husker track meet of last der spectacle IVe seen at Nebraska as both teams did themselves proud. There were some outstanding races, containing some good ' kick" finishes, the kinds the fans really enjoy. Best of the Saturday dual, which not only rivaled the major league baseball games and the Kentucky Derby on the tube but the Ivy Day Show on campus as well, was the mile run. Colorado's Bob Griffith must have had a funny feeling to see NU's Mike Fleming and Ray Stev ens simultaneously step by him in the final 50 yards of the race. Fleming won the race in 4:19.8 and Stevens ran a close second in 4:19. Both times broke the old meet record of 4:20.0 set by Fleming in 1958. This was not the only thriller, though, as the 440-yard sweep the sprints), the endurable Flem- v . ing (double winner in the mile and two J mile), timber-toppers Bill Fasano, Fred uaailirnul Will-a nnA Pin Mvnra CtOTrtmc Pill ITsii. Wohlfarth Johnson and Juris Jesifers. l To Rely on Depth Taking nothing away from these outstanding perform ances, the 73-63 Husker win was a show of team strength by Frank Sevigne's crew. Nebraska set four meets rec ords (two more were erased by the wind) and won ten of the sixteen events. The two teams split the relays but the Huskers picked up valuable seconds in four events, thirds in tine more and tied for second and third place in another. The NU sweep of two events (high hurdles and broad jump) and the valuable seconds and thirds were important in the final outcome. It is this Husker depth, in fact, which will be the tell ing tale in the Big Eight Outdoor Track Meet at Lawr ence May 18-19. If Nebraska can qualify and place enough men the Huskers are a cinch. The track team and Coach Sevigne would like nothing better than to bomb Kansas at their home fort. Still smarting in the minds of the Scarlet cindermen is the 1112 of a point loss to Kansas in the Indoor Meet and the Huskers are fired up for their title shot. Go gettom you groundpounders, timber toppers, sprint speedsters, weight wielders and distance dynamos!!! Innocent Invsuies Meet One more highlight of the track meet was the tackle with which Innocent Marsh Kuhr cracked Ray Stevens, right after Stevens had finished his second duty of the afternoon the 880-yard run. Kuhr beaded across the inifeid, spotted Stevens bead ing toward the field house, then sprinted toward the Hus ker distance ace, much to the delight of the crowd. Ste vens did not see Kuhr aproaching until he was a few steps sway and lowered the boom. This corner congratulates the two Husker athletes, Stevens and Bill Thornton, for their well-deserved selec tion into the Society. Upcoming on the sports scene is the big All Sports Day attraction, featuring NU's tennis, baseball, track and football teams. The NU Rodeo is also on tap for this weekend and these two events should provide plenty of sports excitement. Cards Look Tough Elsewhere on the sports scene, this corner can't let the chance go by to say a few words about a real threat in the National League race the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite the repudiating remarks of a few disloyals on the home front, this could be the year for the Cards. Optimism is growing at such a rapid rate, partly due to the Cardinals' best start in years and equally respon sible to the rosy future promised by Harry & Joe, that it may become necessary to form a Husker Redbird Rootm Club (HRRC). Underlying elements are already in the process of organizing the club with Ron Moyer as President and The Old Pro as corresponding secre tary. If interested, you should contact Bud. Outstanding IOUs will be accepted as membership dues. ENDS TOD A Y "JESSICA Prtettt th tf Hit aM DweUnf tcmM wttk Mtetran En BnM k) flu . sbes Mm terstttasftroN kUSttwiyl KKhr M mnwnd...
