Big Eight Track-
.Nebraska
(This is the second of two
articles to deal with The
Big Eight Outdoor Cham
pionships today and tomorrow.)
As the Big Eight track
championships get underway
at Stillwater, Oklahoma to
day, Missouri, who won the
indoor crown will be a slight
favorite over indoor runner-up
Kansas.
Coach Frank Sevigne of the
Nebraska squad rates the
Huskers as battling with
Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State for third place.
Oklahoma's chance at an
assault of the crown will de
pend upon ailing Anthony
Watson. Watson pulled a mus
cle at the Drake Relays and
hasn't been able to do much
running since.
If Watson Is healthy, the
rangy runner may lead an
attack on the dash records.
The 100 yard dash has a lot
of impressive entries includ
ing Nebraskans Lynn Head-
ley (9.5) and Kent McUough
an (9.7). However, in addition
to Watson, the Sooners will
have Frank Deramus (9.5)
and Preston Bagley (9.8) who
are likely to add points for
the Oklahoma squad. The best
time thus far is 9.3 recorded
by Watson before the Drake
Relays. This time is under the
9.4 conference record.
The 220 will see nearly the
same field as the 100 with
Watson again holding the best
time with 21.0 followed by
teammates Deramus and
Bagley with 21.4 and 21.5.
Comparison of times shows
the 440 yard dash to be a
closely bunched field. Nebras
ka fans, however, will be bet
ting on Husker soph, Dave
Crook. Crook owns a 48.6 op
en quarter time, which stands
only third best in the con
ference but his potential as
demonstrated by his anchor
ing of the mile relay.puts
him in a favored spot on the
form charts. His competition
will include Oklahoma State's
Jack Miller who won the 440
indoor and owns a 48.2 clock
ing outdoors and Missouri's
Ron Peters who has been
down to 48.3.
A new face at the meet will
likely dominate the middle
distance and distance runs.
He is none other than Mis
souri's fabulous Robin Lingle,
a West Point transfer who is
the top candidate for the
meet's outstanding performer
award.
If Lingle runs in the 880,
he will be running with two
teammates and all three
would have to be considered
favorites. Charlie Conrad,
Mizzou's 880 indoor champ
could easily repeat. The Tig
er's Bill Rawson owns a 1:50.3
clocking and Lingle a 1:50.7
going into the meet. Next in
line are two O-State brothers,
John and Dave Perry who are
under 1:53.
However. Lingle will be
mainly shooting at the mile
record. Nebraska's Ray Stev
ens ran the mile in 4:04.9 to
set the record last spring and
Lingle has already been timed
in 4:03.2. A sub-four minute
mile could be in the offing.
I Although it is doubtful that
anyone will win ouier man
Lingle, Kansas will probably
pick up a lot of points in
event. John Donner, Bill Sil
verberg and Herald Hadley
will battle with Mizzou's Con
rad for second place. O-State
has a fine sophomore muer
in Tom Von Ruden who could
easily place.
The three-mile run is likely
to be dominated by Kansas,
who must find distance run
ners growing out of the Kan
sas prairie. If Lingle passes
up the 880 in favor of t h e
three mile, the blue and red
Jayhawkers may cross the
line after the Missounan. Last
year's winner, Paul Acevedo

meet.

and his teammate, Herald
Hadley, are the form chart
leaders. Acevedo's best time
is a 14:22.9 run at the Texas
Relays. Contending for places
will be O-State's Glenn Blake
ly and Nebraska's Larry
Toothaker.
Colorado's Jim Miller is ex
pected to take both the high
and intermediate hurdle
events. Although a muscle in
jury has kept his practice
time down to a minimum,
Miller has raced to win after
win this spring.
In the 120-yard highs, his
best time of 14.2 is over Mis
souri's Cal Groff's 14.1 but
Groff hit that time early and
hasn't approached it since.
Expected to give Miller
some trouble are Jayhawker
Bill Chambers, Rich Iverson
of Iowa State and the Hus
ker 's Preston Love.
only team to click off the mile
relay faster is the University
of New Mexico who ran 3:08.6
at the Mount San Antonio Re
lays the same weekend the
Huskers ran at Drake.
If the Nebraska quartet is
pushed tomorrow afternoon,
they may come up with the
fastest time in the nation. At
any rate, the record of 3:10.5
set in 1959 by Oklahoma State
is likely to fall. Closest con
tender in the race is Okla
homa State who owns a 3:11.5
from the Texas Relays. Kan
sas and Missouri may have
to battle it out in this race
for the team championships
and if that's the case, then
anything could happen.

Nominations are now being
accepted by the Daily Ne
braskan sports staff for the
Nebraskan awards for Top
Varsity Athlete of the Year
and Top Intramural Athlete
of the Year.
The nominations may be
made by any student or facul
ty member and the nomina
tion should include a letter
stating the athlete's qualifica
tions for receiving the award.
Nominating letters should
be signed by the person mak
ing the nomination and will
become the property of the
Daily Nebraskan.
The winners will be an
nounced in the final issue of
the Nebraskan, May 29th.
They will be presented at a
luncheon in the Union on
that same day.
The Top Varsity Award
started in 1955 when gymnast
Bruce Riley was named. No
award was given in 1956, but
the presentation was con
tinued in 1957 with Rex Ek-
wall, a basketball star, the re
cipient. Thinclad Keith Gardner
copped the top prize in 1958.
Cager Herschell Turner won
the award in 1959 and Joe
M n 1 1 i n s another trackster
earned it in 1960. Footballer
Joe McDole received the
honor in 1961 and Tom Rus
sell won it in 1962.
Last year's deserving win
ner was Ray Stevens from
the track squad.
The IM award started in
1959 with Wally Bryans win
ning. Bob Eyth won in 1960,
and 1961 Al Cummins was
the top man. Two years ago
saw Lambert Sobon cop top
honors. .
Last year's winner was
Hike Stacy, Fhl Kappa Psi.
The award covers both
semesters of this past school
year and any senior athlete
competing in any sport is
eligible.

The intermediate hurdles
could see a new record by
Miller. He ran 36.2 at NCAA
last year and the record is
36.5 set by none other than
Miller in 1963. However, Mil
ler's best time this year is
37.4 and he shares this
time with Ron Peters, versa
tile Missouri product who al
so triple jumps and runs the
440.
Both relay records are in
danger of falling. The 440 re
lay sees Oklahoma as the fa
vorite by virtue of their blis
tering 40.6 effort at the Drake
Relays. That is, Oklahoma is
the favorite if Watson is
healthy. The record is 40.7 set
by Oklahoma in 1962, a time
equaled by Colorado this sea
son. Other teams in the race
will be Nebraska, who ran
41.6 at Missouri last week (on
ly the second time this year
the Huskers had put together
a 440 relay) and Kansas with
a 41.7.
The mile relay, always the
last event of any track meet,
could allow the Huskers to
go out in a blaze of glory.
They are definitely the fa
vorite in the event after the
3:09.2 clocking they made at
the Drake Relays. This time
is the second fastest time in
the nation this spring. The

Nebraska will be trying to
stay out of the Big Eight
celler and Missouri will be
out to sew up the title when
the two teams meet in a three
game series at Columbia.
They'll play a doubleheader
Friday and a single game on
Saturday.
The Huskers, with seven
sophomores in the starting
lineup, took two of three from
Kansas State last weekend
pushing the Cats, now 3-9, to
the bottom of the heap. NU

Sharpe will start his soph

come back with George Flock

Hergenrader threw 10 no

Nebraska's tennis team will
take its best record (12-5) in
many years to the Big Eight
meet in Stillwater, Okla., this
Friday and Saturday.
And the Cornhuskers are be

State, title-holder the last six
years.
But Kansas and Oklahoma
are tabbed the favorites. The
Jayhawks crushed Nebraska,
6-1, last Friday and the Soon

the spring.
In the KU match the Hus
