The rivalry shaping up
between Nebraska's mile
relay squad and that of
Oklahoma State's will be
tested several times in the
coming outdoor season.
In the four times the two
squads have faced each
other, the Nebraskans have
beat the Cowboys' tiwice.
O-State hIII have their
team on hand this weekend
for the Arkansas Relays
and the Huskers will be in
Stillwater for a dual on
Mar. 31.
The Huskers beat the Cow
boys on the Memorial Sta
dium track during an early
indoor season dual. How
ever, O-State coach Ralph
Higgins vowed the Scarlet
and Cream would not beat
him again.
The Cowboys won at the
Eig Eight Indoor champion
ships.
Next came the Chicago
Daily News Relays which
saw the Husker team leave
the Cowpokes eating dust.
But at the U.S. Track and
Field Federation meet in
Milwaukee, the O-Staters
came back to nose out Ne
braska. Running for Nebraska
are Kent McCloughan, who
did not do 440 work prior
to this season, Dave Crook,
Dick Strand and Gil Gebo,
the anchor man.
O-State's crew features
two brothers, John and
Dave Perry. Jack Miller
and Ray Bothwell run the
other two legs of the relay.
Coach Higgins feels this
team is capable of beating
the O-State school record
of 3:10.2 set last year at the
Texas Relays by Gary
Krause, Billy Stone, Jack
Miller and Charles Strong.
The Cowboys' best time
this year was 3:15.2, run at
the Kansas State Indoor In
vitational. The Huskers own
a 3:18.1 clocking as their
best record.

DIVIDEND BONDED GAS
16th O P Sts.
Downtown Lincoln
Cinder men will leave the in
door track in favor of the wide
open spaces this weekend as
they begin the 1964 outdoor
season with a southern trek.
Opening the season will be
the Arkansas Relays at Fay
etteville, Ark. Saturday. This
is the first year the Huskers
have entered the meet, al
though several Big Eight
schools have entered the Re
lays each year.
The big question for outdoor
track each Spring is will the
squad perform the same as
they did indoor.
Husker Coach Frank Se
vigne certainly would like to
better his team's standing of
sixth place in the Big Eight
Indoor if at all possible.
Last year the Scarlet and
Cream athletes took third
place in the Outdoor Cham
pionships held at Kansas
State. They may not be able
to equal that this year. Mis
souri with field event strength
and Kansas who always finds
the distance runners w i 1 1 be
hard to beat and Oklahoma
with sprint strength will be in
the running, too.
The Huskers have very lew
returning lettermen who
scored in the Outdoor meet
last year. Vic Brooks, who
took first in the triple jump
with a 47-3 effort, is the only
gold medal returnee on Se
vigne's squad.
Gil Gebo placed second in
the quarter last year with
Dick Strand placing third as
only a sophomore.
Both Strand and Gebo ran
on the mile relay which
placed third. Oklahoma State
won the event.
Ray Stevens who scored an
upset victory in the mile last
May and set a new Big Eight
record doing it, has graduat
ed from the distance corps.
The weight now falls to jun
ior Larry Toothaker and
sophomore Peter Scott.
Middle distances find cap
tain Gil Gebo running both the
440 and 880 and anchoring the
mile relay. Strand will be ex
pected to go in the 440 and
run with the mile relay. Soph
omore Dave Crook, who
owned one of the best confer
ence times indoor for the 440,
will be running the event
again. He also will be in ac
tion with the mile relay.
Strength will be added with
sophs Tucker Lillis, Peter
Mills, and juniors Jim Wendt,
who had knee trouble in Feb
ruary, Jim Murphey and
George O'Boyle.
Sprints and hurdles contin
ue to be the big question
mark in the Husker camp.
Last week Sevigne indicated
that Ron Moore will not be
with the quad this srping.
The chores now fall to soph
Lynn He ad ley who was
plagued with muscle trouble
the entire indoor season.
Preston Love and Kent Mc
Cloughan will be dividing
their time between football
and track.
Field events find the Husk
ers stronger than last year.
Brooks will compete in both
the triple jump and broad
jump.
Jack Cramer, if he contin
ues to improve as he did dur
ing the indoor season, will be
a big help. Sophomore Jim
Beltzer will be throwing the
shot along with Roland John
son who will be competing in
the discus.
Several untested soph
omores may add strength in
the field. Steve Olson will be
Nebraska's first javelin
thrower in several - seasons.
Bob Pollard will be high
jumping and Larry Shineman
will compete in the pole vault.
Wes Paulsen in the high
jump and Juris Jesifers in the
pole vault and possibly triple
and broad jumps will round
out the field crew.

Nice Play
Baseball will lead off with its usual southern swing this
weekend. With only five returning lettermen, Coach Tony .
Sharpe is going to have to go along way with untested ma
terial. However, I must say I'm not too worried about the
team if they all perform as cool-headedly as outfielder
Walley Duff did at the N Club banquet last weekend. The
waiter serving dessert managed to let the ice cream slide
off the piece of pie he was about to put down in front of
Wally's date.
Wally fielded it nicely, reaching across the table and
putting the ice cream back on the plate in about two sec
onds. We want to see some of that kind of action on the
diamond, Wally!
Fastest 220
The Husker mile relay is going to be the team to watch
as outdoor track makes its appearance. The indoor sea
son saw a rivalry develop with the Oklahoma State quar
tet and you can be sure this will continue throughout the
big relay meets this spring.
Kent McCloughan, who runs the opening leg of the race,
had never worked on running the 440 before Coach Sevigne
decided to try him on the relay this winter.
Kent has been putting in some hard work, aiming to
ward improving that 440 this past week. Just last night he
ran a terrific 220 on the indoor track which was timed in
: 22.5 the fastest 220 ever clocked on the Memorial Sta
dium track.
This time is taken after the runner has gotten about a
10 yard running start. Since the 220 isn't run during indoor
competition, it is standard to time the indoor 220's done in
workouts with a running start.
University Sports Information Director Don Bryant
has reportedly been seen over at the indoor track working
out these past two weeks.
It seems Don is getting fairly proficient at riding a
bicycle around the track. This also is a favorite sport of
frosh baseball coach Monte Kiffin.
Don challenged Monte to a one lap race last week. Wit
nesses said Don won with ease.
