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

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.

But perhaps the most dis

was the mile relay. Regular

had a sore muscle and had to

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

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.

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. Today,
a broken woman, she crouches under my sofa.
