As Watson Paces OU Win

Nebraska's tracksters
played the bridesmaid's role
again in the Big Eight Con
this time to a powerful Okla
homa team who was sparked
to the 101-85 victory by one
Tony Watson who scored a
triple crown for. the Sooners.
Husker cindermen had a
great day, however, especially
in the mile run and the 120
yard high hurdle event. Mike
Fleming, the 26-year old Ne
braskan, who wanted to beat
Bill Dotson, mile king of Kan
sas, did just that.
Fleming, clocked in 4:08.1
to set a new Nebraska varsity
record, turned in a sensa
tional finish. After the third
lap, the race started to open
up when Dotson made the
move toward the front of the
pack. After Dotson got a 10
yard lead on Fleming, Mike
opened cp.
Within a few seconds Flem
ing was at Dotson's shoulder
and then he had passed the
"mile king" and broke the
tape a full five-tenths of a
second ahead of the Kansan.
Supporting Mike in the mile
was Ray "skip" Stevens who
finished fourth in 4:12.9 for
the Nebraska cause.
Husker high hurdle trio of
Captain Bill Fasano, Ron
Moore and Fred Wilke
brought the crowd to its feet
as the three cross the finish
line 1-2-3, a rare occurence
in any Conference champion
ship. Moore, a sophomore, won
the event in :14.2 and he led
home Fasano and Wilke in
that order. In the 220-yard
lows Moore trying for a dou
ble win could only nab sec
ond place behind Mark Sulli
van of Oklahoma who won
in :22.9. Wilke placed third
in the lows.
Two other top Husker per
formances came in the 440
and mile relays. Both times
et new Nebraska varsity rec
ords and were good for sec
ond places in the Conference
showdown.
The 440-yard relay team
composed of Wilke, Steve
Pfister, Don Degnan and Ray
Knaub spun the distance in
:40.8 just one-tenth of a sec
ond behind the winning Okla
homa team.
Mile relay quartet of Tom
Saunders, LeRoy Keane, Bill
Kenny and Gil Gebo also
toured the oval in the fastest
time of 3:13.4 for a second
place finish behind Colorado.
Husker Ray Knaub, sprint
ace from Scottsbluff, was
beaten by just a whisker in
the 100-yard dash by Watson
of Oklahoma who ran a :09.4.
Later in the 220-yard dash
Watson again took top honors
with a brilliant :20. Knaub
finished sixth while teammate
Degnan earned a fourth posi
tion. The only other place earned
by the Huskers was a fourth
in the broad jump when Vic
tor Brooks, sophomore from
Jamaica, went 24-1 Vi. Watson
won this even with a leap of
25-8.
In the two-mile event, Bob
Griffith from Colorado came
through with the victory in

race, but dropped out after
the third lap because of ex

State ran a blistering 1:50.9
in the 880, but it was not
good enough for the Confer
ence record.

yard run with a :46.1, to set
a new conference record. The
old mark was :46.5 held by

Colorado in 1961.
Oklahoma picked up added
strength in the field events

toss in the shot put, beat
out favored Don Smith of Mis
souri. Inman threw the iron
ball 58-10 to overshadow
Smith's mark of

pions, was the only one to
successfully defend his title.

Diamond Men Take
Series Over K-Slate
By RICK AKIN
Sports Staff Writer ,
Nebraska finished its base
ball season with a complete
reversal of the Colorado
shutout series a three-game
slugfest.
The Huskers visited Kansas
State last weekend and swept
the Friday doubleheader, 15-3
and 4-3, before losing the Sat
urday single game 13-6.
This finale evened Nebras
ka's conference record at
10-10 and tipped their season's
record to 15-11.
At the start of the Satur
day game it looked as though
the Huskers were going to
sweep the series. Rich Hei
man, the Wildcat starter
walked the first two Huskers
and hit the next three be
fore Kansas State could
register a put-out.
In the barrage of wild
pitching the Huskers picked
up two runs, and Kansas State
had a new. pitcher.
After Kansas Stat picked
up a run in the third, they
jumped all over XU starter,
Keith Sieck, in the fifth with
a double and three singles for
four runs w hich gave the Wild
cats a comfortable cushion.
Nebraska added one in the
third and three in the ninth,
but K-State brought home
two in the seventh and six
in the eighth to ice the con
test. Friday was the Husker's
dav, however as they bom
barded the Wildcats with IS
hits and 15 runs.
Steve Smith and Don Pur
cell led the XU batting corps
with four-for-five and four
for-four respectively. Smith
had two doubles and a triple
and Purcell accounted for the
only home run of the game.
The Huskers big inning was
the seventh in which they
brought home ten runs.
Ernie Benistall picked up
the win, making his record
5-3.
