Six Gold Medals
Nebraska's startling second-place challenge to cham
pion Kansas in the Big Eight Track and Field Champion
ships at Stillwater, Okla., had track buffs scrambling for
the record book.
Coach Frank Sevigne's Cornhuskers were the sensa
tion of the title chase, grabbing six gold medals and
amassing 105 points all after a dismal sixth-place at
the loop indoor last winter.
It was a case of too many chiefs and not enough In
dians as the Jayhawks poured on the depth to pile up
126 points. Coach Bill Easton'g toughies managed only two
gold medals.
This difference between first places and final ranking
prompted Nebraska fans to wonder if this was the first
time a team had ever won six gold medals and failed
to wn the title.
No sir! But you have to go back to 1955 for a com
parison. That spring Kansas and Oklahoma both copped
six blue ribbons, but the Jayhawks snared their fourth
straight championship with 173 points.
Another question: Has a team ever won the confer
ence title while winning fewer gold medals than another
club in the race?
A resounding yes! And. ironically, that team was the
Nebraska Cornhuskers.
last Title In '50
Back in 1950 the last time the Scarlet and Cream
bagged an outdoor title Nebraska won the title with
105 points while nabbing only three blue ribbons. Harry
Meginnis, now a Lincoln car agency executive, won the
100 and 220 and Bob Berkshire, now an Omaha attorney,
copped the 120-yard high hurdles.
W 5 ira
Kansas, by the way, out-firsted the Huskers with four
gold medals. Jayhawk firsts came from Bob Karnes
(mile), Herb Semper (2-mile), Jack Greenwood (low
hurdles), and the mile relay. Oklahoma it can be noted,
actually equalled the NU total by winning the 440 (Charles
Coleman), the 880 (Bill Jacobs) and the pole vault (cur
rent Sooner coach Bill Carroll).
While history wasn't given a severe jolt by the 1964
Cornhuskers, their performance at Stillwater rates as one
of the school's top comeback efforts and possibly the Hus
kers' most impressive maximum efforts.
Brooks High Scorer
Of the 13 NU qualifiers in Friday's semifinals, 12
scored points with five qualifiers winning gold medals,
one gaining second and a trio landing third places.
Victor Brooks led the Husker surge with wins in the
broad jump and triple jump, plus a key leg on the NU
440-relay team that ran a dead-head (record time of
:40.5) with winner Colorado. And Brooks had to improve
his Friday broad jump in the finals to win. So did Juris
Jesifers in the same event, coming up with his career
best of 23-21 to take sixth.
Credit Lynn Headley with star status too. He supplied
a stunner by whipping Oklahoma Olympian Anthony Wat
son in the 100, taking third in the intermediate hurdles
and running a 440 relay leg.
Other Nebraska gold medals were supplied by Kent
McCloughan in the 220 (after judges ruled him out of the
top four spots in the blanket finish of the 100-yard dash
semifinals) in a career best of :21.3, Dave Crook in the
440 with a career best of :47.0 and the mile relay which
streaked home in 3:10.9.
AO in all it was one of the happiest days in Sevigne's
sparkling career as the Cornhusker head man.
' I couldn't have been more proud of the way our
boys met the challenge," Sevigne said. "They were just
tremendous everyone performed up to their maximum
or better, all a coach can ask. I am as proud of this
team as I would have been if they had won the title."
Outstanding Athlete Awards
Nominations have been opened for outstanding var
sity and intramural athletes. I would like to see more nom
inations come in; thus far only two nominations have
been received. There are plenty of athletes who would be
just as deserving of the awards as the two nominated in
today's paper.
Deadline for the nominations is next Monday, May 25.
Selection of the recipients will be announced in the May
29th issue of the DAILY NEBRASKAN.
So, come on students, think of the athletes you would
like to see honored. Instead of griping about why doesn't
somebody nominate your favorite as you sit in the union
having a coke, get busy and write the letter yourself.
Names of those making nominations are kept strictly con
fidential and will not be published. However, the NE
BRASKAN reserves the right to print parts of nominating
letters.

Huskers Try For Sixth
Big Eight baseball teams
wind up their seasons this
week and next as the only
position which seems to be
secured is first place.
Powerful Mizzou, three-
time victor over Nebraska
this past weekend, is n o w
coasting along with a 18-0
conference slate and a 21-3
over-all slate.
They just squeaked by Kan
sas, 2-1, 2-0, in a doubleheader
Monday and they finish up
their season against the Jay

Iowa State holds onto sec
ond place somewhat precari
ously as they finish their sea
son at Oklahoma.
If Colorado can sweep a se
ries from last place Kansas
State while ISU downs the
Sooners. then the Buffs could
ease into a fourth place tie
with OU.
By beating Oklahoma State
in three games at Lincoln, the
Huskers could move into sixth
place easily with a 7-14 record.
