BOB SAMUELSON Sports Editor Big Eight T rack Title oes To J ay hawkers By Peggy Speece Kansas won the Big Eight outdoor track and field cham pionships last Saturday, and Husker sophomore Charlie Greene won the Henry Schulte top performer award, and Tiger Robin Lingle won the mile but the race they'll talk about forever is the three mile run. K a n s a s' John Lawson sprinted to a 75-yard lead with almost half the race left to go and no one ever came close to him. He won in the record breaking time of 14:09.6. The crowd amused themselves wondering what f r J - ' i edge Missouri for second place. Nebraska's Charlie Greene had a busy afternoon as he went out and contributed 22li2 points to the Husker cause. He won the 100-yard dash in a comparatively slow 9.8 and the 220 in 21.4. During Friday's prelims, Greene had run the 220 in 20.8 to set a new Big Eight record. But Friday night it rained and Saturday dawned cold with a north wind and the track simply wasn't as fast as it could have been. Jumpin' Charlie also an chored the 440 relay to record tying time of 46.5. He was forced to overtake Oklahoma's Jim Jackson, who nee de feated Charlie indoors, to win. Charlie beat Jackson by seven yards. Running with Greene on the relay were Tom Mill sap, Dave Crook, and Lynn Hcadley. 2t v" i Tiper I jnelp won ih mile handily but a slow first quar- i ter pace kept any records: from being broken.

""It was just an impulse," ' he admitted. The race was so fast that Husker senior Larry Toothak er ran 14:45 for a new Ne braska record and didn't even place. the 440 won by Sooner Bill Calhoun in 46.7 and did not place in the 220. But perhaps the most dis appointing race for Nebraska was the mile relay. Regular lead-off man, Dennis Walker, had a sore muscle and had to jbe pulled out of the relay. In ; an effort to keep Nebraska in j the race, Tom Millsap ran the first leg but Millsap could ' not handle the longer distance and Nebraska never threflt- ened anybody.

He ran a disappointing third behind . ! ISL"s Dam 1 Green and Jay- hawker Bill Chambers. Oklahoma, peaking to a sur prisingly good showing, was second with 91. while indoor champ Missouri trailed with 84.

Scores: By JAMES PEARSE Nebraska baseballers, by winning their third in a row from Oklahoma and their fifth in the last sis confer ence contests, gave them selves a shot at the Big Eight title which Missouri was cas ually tossing around in Colum bia on Sunday. The Huskers received snarklins pitching again and just enough runs to take the set with the Sooners. j Stan Bahnsen led off t h e series Friday bv tossing a four hit shutout Bringing his record to 5-1, Bahnsen struck out nine men while walking three. The Council Bluff soph omore is proving to be the backbone of an increasingly consistant staff of starters for Coach Tony Sharpe. The league's leading defes sive unit backed up Bahnsen with errorless ball and catch er Larry Bornschlegl cut down a pair of Oklahomans trying to take an extra base. In the offensive department, Bornschelgl showed the way with the only run Bahnsen needed, a homer to left in the first inning. Losing pitcher Joe Cox hurled seven-hit ball but was not quite up to Bahnsen in the 2-0 opener. Friday's second game was j another one for the pitchers. I Bob Hergenrader, coming off his finest game as a Husker, took the mound against Ok lahoma right-hander Looper. Helping to make it a good day for the pitchers were the elements. A shifting wind kept the players on their toes alone with a partly overcast sky from which the sun pop Tied in and out at leisure. It was a day for good baseball to come forth and rather than a mechincal game as would be seen in an Astrodome. Hergy responded with six hit hurling, struck out seven, and walked only one. The Huskers offense man aged to provide the Lincoln product with three runs in 9 meager production of two hits. One hit was a sun aided double by Gary Tunnison that started off the two run fourth for Nebraska. The Sooners finally cracked NIT fielding and pitching for a run intbe sixth inning by putting together a couple of their six hits. After the game Nebraska found itself in second place in the Big Eight by virtue of Iowa State dropping two to Oklahoma State. This set the stage for Satur day. Could Nebraska win and continue to win in their final set next week at Kansas, and should Misouri drop a game here and there well, though the feeling was pre sent in the fans, the Husker ball players were concerned ; only with wanning their' games, one at a time, and I UNIVERSITY : THEATRE : S3uCQ let the top place team sweat Gary Neibauer took the hill for Nebraska. A hard, straight thrower who likes to blow down the hitter, Neibau er has pitched well all year but has not been able to get much support from his mates in the way of runs. From the beginning it was evident Nebraska would have to get Neibauer some tallies if they were to win. It takes a boy like the Scotts bluff pitcher a few innings to round into top form, and many times they fall victim to early gtme runs that prove costly to their cause. Oklahoma came to hit Sat urday and hit they did In the top of the first inning. They collected three safties that let in two runs and gave the booming Sooners on early cushion. From then on, however, Neibauer continued to gain in strength and ended with a six hit triumph highlighted by twelve strikeouts. His Husker offense, led by John Roux's three for three day, backed Neibauer's pitch ing with single runs in the second, third, and fourth frames; just enough markers to win. In the top of the ninth it looked as if Oklahoma would come on strong as they had at the start of the game. Carl Schreiner led off the inning w ith a ground ball to Roux at shortstop. Roux field ed it clearly, then threw the ball over Bob Stickels' head at first A sacrifice bunt by Cron- : ley to Neibauer, which the pitcher elected to go to secv ond with, allowed both run-' ners to be safe. Then Maxwell popped out to Roux for the second out Tony Sharpe ordered an intentional pass to load the bases and set up the final out at any place on the infield paths. Joe Cox came to pinch hit and Neibauer jumped out in frost with a bit of his speed. Cox set himself at this point and proceeded to watch Nei bauer hurl a curve by him for the third strike, the game, the series, and second place only a half game behind Mis souri. In their doubleheader with Colorado on Saturday after noon, the Tigers were beaten twice. Once by a home run and secondly by two wild throws. Adrian Mohrs lifted the Buffs past Mizzou in the fin al game 7-5 after Jim Lafoe had scortd the winning tally in the 3-2 first game. Lafio struckout on a wild pitch and raced to first. Jaqk Price then walked. Jack Cop. pom stroked a single and the relay from the outfield went astray while Lafoe crossed the plate. This all sets up a final week end in which the Huskers are thoroughly emersed. On the surface NU has the better of the schedule as it plays lowly Kansas at Law rence, while Missouri travels to Ames for three with a much angered ISU team. Nebraska pitching, which seems to get stronger as the season gets longer, will have to contain a Kansas offerse that burst out with 18 runs against K-State Saturday. ' X ? -j via Bornschlegl ...

TESTS, AND HOW THEY GREW Just the other night I was saying to the little woman, "Do you think the importance of tests in American colleges ia being overemphasized?". (Incidentally, the little woman in cot, as you might think, my wife. My wife is far from a lit tle woman. She is, in fact, nearly seven feet high and man tled with rippling muscles. Sbe is a full-blooded Ogallala Sioux and holds tbe world's shot put record. The littlo woman I referred to is someone we found crouching under the sofa when we moved into our apartment back in 1928, and there sbe has remained ever since. Sbe never speaka except to make a kind of guttural clicking sound when sh is hungry. To tell you the truth, she's not too much fan to have around the house, butVith nay wife away at track meeia most of tbe time, at least it gives roe someone to talk to.) But I digress. "Do you think the importance of tests in American colleges is being overemphasized?" I said tha other night to tbe little woman, and then I said, "Yes, Max, I do think tbe importance of tests in Ameaican col leges is being overemphasized.' (At I explained, the little woman does not speak, so mhen we have conversations, I am forced to do both parts.) But I digress. To get back to testa sure, they're impor tant, but let's not allow them to get loo important. There are, ait: all, many talents which simply can't be measured by quizzes. Is it right to penalize a gifted student whose gifts don't happen to fall into an academic category! like, for instance, Finster Sigafoos? SbuafuO-MooM OfaUaU Sumx... Funster, a freshman at the Wyoming College of BeTks Lettres and Fingerprint Identification, has never passed a single test; yet ail who know him agree he is studded with talent like a ham with cloves. He can, for example, sleep standing up. He can do a perfect imitation of a scarlet tan ager. ,d don't mean juet tbe bird calk; I mean be can fly south in tbe winter.) He can pick up SB's with bis toes. He can say toy boat" three tiroes fast. He can build a rude telephone out of 1 00 yards of string and two empty Person ca Stainless Steel Razor Blade packages. (This last accom plishment is the one Finster is proudest of not building the telephone but emptying the Personna packs. To empty a Personna pack is not easily accomplkhed, believe you me, not if j'ou're a person who likes to get fall value out of his razor blades. And f uH value is just what Personnas deliver. They last and last and keep on lasting; luxury shave follows luxury shave in numbers that make tbe mind boggle. Why don't you se for yourself? Perscmnai are now available ia two varieties: a brandnnew stainlew steel injector blade for twers of in jector razors and the familiar double-edge stain less steel blade so dear to the hearts and kind to tbe kissers of so many happy Americans, blads so smootb-ehaving, so long-lasting that 13 Personna Co. makes the following guarantee: If you don't agree Personna gives y ou mare lux ury shaves than Beep-Beep or any other brand you might name, Personna will boy you a pack of whatever kind yoa think is better.) But I digress. Baek to Finster Sigafoos artist, Bumaaiet. philosopher, and freshman since JSCS. Will the world ever benefit, from Fluster's great gifts ? Alas, no. Ha is ia eolisgt to stay. But even more tragic fur mankind is tbe cam of Clara da Loon. Clare, a claasmate of Fiiister's, baa no talent, & gifts, to brains, no personality. ATJ she had was a knaet for taking tents. Sbe would cram like mad before a test, always get a perfect score, and then promptly forget everything she had learned. Naturally, she graduated with highest honors and degrees by the dozen, but the sad fact is that she left college no more educated aDd no more prepared t cope with the world than she was m-hen she entered.
