IrOcLosDcer ivomminnieirs Title This Weekend For University, set two Big Eight records last year at Ames, la. He established records in both the 220-yard freestyle and the 440-yard freestyle. The best hope for a Husker blue ribbon will be in Vern Bauers who, last year, placed second to Bill Murdock from Kansas in the breaststroke. Murdock beat hifn at the wall last year. But in a meet last S a t"u r d a y at the Coliseum pool, the Husker swimmer beat Murdock in the 200-yard breaststroke. The Husker swimmers will be greatly strengthened by the sophomore crop headed bv freestyler Keefe Lodwig who has established records 'for that title." in the 100-vard freesrvle and Oklahoma has replace the 220-yard and the 440-yard events of past years. In addition to these, the 400 yard individual medley will be added to the meet events.

Swimming events will be held at the Lincoln High pool with preliminaries at 2:00 in the afternoon and the finals of the afternoon's prelimina ries that same night starting at 8:00. The diving events will be held at the Coliseum pool. Last year under coach Dick Klass the Huskers finished fourth in the conference be hind Oklahoma, Kansas, and Iowa State. The Huskers win go into the Big Eight this year with an 8-3 dual meet record, los ing only to Indiana, Oklaho ma, and to Iowa State by a disqualification. This is the best record for the swimmers in many years. Nebraska scored 48 points last season and they have lost only one of those point getters. Larry Ferrell. one of the co- captains of the squad last year placed fifth to pick up two points in the 100-yard backstroke. All of the rest of the team will be here for the meet and it will have more depth due to the freshman squad that has come up this year.

With all the talent and desire they could muster, the boys came through with a victory of which they can be very proud. Next fall the whole campus will see numerous white letter sweaters. These can be worn only by Big Eight champions. The last time Nebraska won a Big Eight cham pionship was 12 years ago in 1951 when the indoor track team again came through for a victory. The championship meet was a eood one. Cn-rantain Fred Wilke Mho is primarily a low hurdle expert showed me crowa oi mat ne s no slouch in the highs either. The Omaha native came through in ripping style with a :u.3 victory. Fred nearly got a double win when he was nipped at the tape in the lows by teammate Ray Knaub who topped the timbers in :06.8. In the first three events Nebraska had two winners, two second places and one fourth. So right at the beginning the Husk ers started to build their point total. iff fr irif -: i ' -1 IMnmH iiiriii .ir I LwJ J Pkotfl By Paul Kavanaofh SOCCER PLAYERS SIGN UP-University students here sign np to join the soccer team now being organized by People-To-People.
