Track Squad Faces Huskers In Saturday Meet
The Kansas track squad will journey to Lincoln, Neb. Saturday night to meet the Huskers in a dual indoor meet.
The Jayhawkers have already notched one victory this season with a win over Kansas State in their new fieldhouse last Saturday, and Coach Bill Easton's squad is favored to win again.
The Kansas team is paced by some of the top middle and distance runners in the country and they should set some new records in the meet.
Herb Semper, Jayhawker national cross country champion, should have little trouble in the 2-mile. Cliff Abel holds the present record of 9:33.4 which he set in 1950, and Semper ran the distance in 9:26.1 in the Kansas-Kansas State meet.
The oldest of these which has stood since 1940 is the mile run, Harold Brooks stepped it in 4:22.1 but in the Kansas-Kansas State dual meet, Wes Santee did the mile in 4:17.9.
Santee also bettered Pat Bowers mark of 1:56.9 when he ran the go in 1:56.
The Jayhawker relay team also bettered the record time when the baton exchangers spun around the new K-State track in 3:26.2. Nebraskan Harry Meginnis, Leonard Kehl, Wendell Cole and Harold Kopf hold the present mark at 3:29.4.
On the basis of their performance in the K-State meet, several other members of the Kansas squad should turn in excellent performances.
Jim Floyd has been steadily improving in the pole vault, and should make a good showing.
In the 60-yard high hurdles, Bob DeVinney and Don Woodson should give the Kansas team considerable strength. DeVinney took the hurdles in .7.7 against Kansas State.
In the shot-put, where Kansas has not been too strong in past seasons, there are several men who should come through with the needed points.
Larry Marsh, Galen Fiss, and Merlin Gish are the top Jayhawk performers in this event.

Stan Musial Signs At Own Pay Rate
Stan Musial has signed his 1952 St. Louis Cardinal contract. Worse still, he says he has "several more peak years ahead."
Even Cardinal owner Fred Saigh didn't attempt to battle it out with the Storm team batting champion. He just handed him a blank check and told him to fill it in.
Stan, a somewhat bashful fellow,
decided his 1951 pay was good
enough and wrote in a flat salary of
$75,000 plus a clause that figures
to give him an extra $5,000 on an
attendance basis.
