Five Marks Are in Danger in Big Seven Track Meet
By BOB LYLE
Five track and field marks are in danger of either being equaled or improved this weekend when Big Seven thinlads invade the Kansas City Municipal auditorium for the league's 27th annual indoor meet.
On the basis of performances in dual, triangular, and quadrangular meets, marks could be equaled or bettered in the 60-yard dash, the 60-yard high hurdles, the mile relay, and the shot put, and high jump. All the marks have been touched during the regular season except the relay.
The shot put record of 52 feet, $4\frac{3}{4}$ inches, set seven years ago by K-State's Rollin Prather, appears most likely to topple. Bill Nieder, Kansas weight man, has eclipsed the mark twice with heavies of $53-\frac{9}{4}$ against Michigan for a new school record, and a $53-6$ toss against Missouri last weekend. Nieder has also unofficially tossed the iron ball more than 54 feet.
Terry Berg, an unheralded Colorado sophomore, served up a threat to the league's 6-foot, 5½-inch high
jump standard when he equaled the mark with a leap in Colorado's varsity-freshman meet. The record was set by Tom Scofield in 1948, the first year of the modern conference.
On the basis of past performances any one of a gang of sprint men is within reach of the 60-yard dash standard of 6.2 seconds, held jointly by Don Campbell of Colorado, Missouri's Byron Clark, and Thane Baker of Kansas State.
Two Oklahomaans, Bob Derrick and Juel Swette, defending champion in the event, equaled the marked unofficially in a student-timed quadrangular meet early this season. Others who could finish in the money are Jack Davis of Missouri, Dick Blair of Kansas, and K-State's Marvin Chiles.
Davis, a sophomore, who saw only limited track action because of a heart ailment during his high school career at Kansas City, Mo., Southeast, is considered one of the league's best sprint prospects. He is also conceded a good chance of finishing near the top in the 60-yard low hurdles.
Derrick has also run the 60-yard high hurdles in the record timing time of 7.4 seconds. Other top contenders in the highs are Missouri's Bill Constantine (7.5) and Bill Biberstein of Kansas, defending champion in both the highs and lows (7.6). Biberstein has been plagued by a foot sprain and may not be in top shape for the meet.
Missouri's mile relay foursome of Tom Campbell, Pete Orr, Pete Beard, and Bob Massengale, has come within .9 of a second of the loop indoor mark of 3.21. Kansas' Willie Jones, Bob Franklin, Louis Stroup, and Dick Blair have done 3.21. However, neither of these was winning times.
The Tiger outfit came in second in a quadrangular meet with Penn State, Michigan State, and Ohio State. The Kansas foursome finished behind Michigan in a dual meet.
Four of the seven unassisted triple plays recorded in major league history were made by short-stops. Two were recorded at first and one at second base.
Only two intramural "A" basket-6 ball games were played yesterday, with one, in the Fraternity division, strictly no contest, and the other, an Independent "A" clash, a close affair to the finish.

John J. Warner of the Giants was suspended for fighting with an umpire during the 1903 season. One day before his suspension ended, he was sent back into action—as an umpire.
Two unipresets have become presidents of the National league. Thomas J. Lynch and John A. Heydler took over the league presidency during the early 1900's.
