Track Squad Wins In Nebraska Meet
The Kansas track squad scored its first indoor victory in history over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a dual meet at Lincoln Saturday night.
The Jayhawkers took all but three of the first places as they turned in an impressive $65 \frac{1}{2}$ to $38 \frac{1}{2}$ win over the Husker trackmen. This was the thirteenth indoor meeting between the schools.
Herb Semper, Kansas' flying head, wiped thirty seconds from the current KU-Nebraska indoor dual two-mile mark of 9:53.4. He established a new mark of 9:30.4.
The two-time NCAA crosscountry king from Forest Park, Ill, now holds every standard at that distance on the Jayhawker books except for duals against Iowa State and Colorado, in which he has never competed.
Wes Santee broke a 12-year-old meet record of 4:22.1 in the mile, as he raced the distance in 4:17.6. Second place in the mile went to Herb Semper, who has on numerous occasions doubled in both the mile and two-mile.
Kansas set another meet record in the 60-yard low hurdles, as Bob DeVinney went the distance in :66.9. This erased an old mark of :07.0 held by Bill Mooney of Nebraska and Jack Greenwood of Kansas
In the 60-yard dash, Don Hess and Bill Hawkey of Kansas came in first and second. Hess ran the dash in 06:4.
In the track events, the Jayhawkers took all but one first, totaling 51 points to 17 for the Huskers.
Kansas also placed two men in the 440-yard dash. John Reiderer took first and Don Smith came in third, with Nebraska's Brian Hendrickson finishing second. Reiderer's time was .517.
In the 880-yard run, Art Dalzell and Dave Fisher of Kansas finished first and second, with third going to Dale Schnackel of the Huskers. The time was 1:59.0.
Semper was first in the two mile, with another Kansan, Lloyd Koby, taking third. Semper's new record in this event bettered Cliff Abel's record set in 1950.
Young Star To Japan
Wichita (U.P.)—Three major league stars of today who have won the title of America's sandlot player of the year at the past national tournaments here and advanced directly into the majors, Eddie Waitkus of the Philadelphia Phils, Grady Hatton of the Cincinnati Reds, and John Presky of the Boston Sox, will have nothing on the youth chosen for this honor during the 18th annual classic starting here Aug. 15.

The Kansas mile-relay team of Bob DeVinney, Bill Hawkey, John Reiderer and Don Smith won over the Huskers with a time of 3:30.5.
In the field events, the two schools split even. Kansas won the high jump and the pole vault, while Nebraska took the shot-put and the broad jump.
Buzz Fraizer of Kansas jumped $61\frac{3}{4}$ while Ray Smith of KU, Phil Heidelk and Bob Sand of Nebraska tied at 61.
Jim Floyd of Kansas went 13.0 feet to take the pole vault.
The Jayhawkers were shut out in the broad jump, but in the shot Galen Fiss took second with a heave of 45.5.

KU Swimmers Lose Dual Meet
The Kansas swimming team was able to capture only one first place as it fell to a powerful squad from Oklahoma 63 to 19 in a dual meet in Robinson pool Saturday.
The Jayhawker 400-yard free style relay team of Buterin, Ball, Boorn and Ellin burned in a 3:59.2 mph Walt Mikols' sound its only victory.

Mahlon Ball of Kansas was third in the 60-yard free style, behind Stan Schecker and Jim McKinney of Oklahoma. The time was 30.0.
Dick Eflin of the Jayhawk team was third in the 120-yard medley, but would have finished well ahead, but would have not. He was hurt if he had not made a bad turn.
Two other records were set in the 200-yard back stroke and the 440-yard free style. John Green of Oklahoma did the back stroke in 2:26.2 and Johnston won the 440.
Dallas Chestnut took third for the Kansas team in diving, and John Ashley, another Jayhawk, finished third in the 100-yard free style. The time in this event was :55.5, a new pool record.
Coach Mikols said that he did not expect his young team to defeat Oklahoma, and he was satisfied that the squad had improved its own time in some of the events.
The Jayhawkers will face Colorado A&M at Fort Collins Friday and Colorado at Boulder Saturday. Coach Mikols expects the team to make an excellent showing with possible victories in both events.
