Huskers Are Given Little Chance Of Retaining Their Outdoor Track Title
Columbia, Mo.—For a coach whose squad won last year's conference outdoor track meet, and followed with an indoor triumph last March, the Huskers' Ed Weir is operating under surprisingly little strain as the Big Seven stripped-down carnival draws near.
In reference to Weir's stripped-down track forces, Nebraska Publicitor John Bentley would be bold indeed to apply the historic watchword, "We're loaded!"—his highly-quotable allusion to the 1950 Nebraska football team voiced at the pre-season press and radio session
Nobody ever dares sell the Cornhuskers short, but most track observers agree it would take some stupendous effort by the Scarlet and Cream squad to snare a second straight loop crown when the conference meet takes place here May 18 and 19.
Preliminaries in all events except the mile, two-mile, mile relay, pole vault and high jump will be held on Rollins Field here Friday beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday's final get under way at 1:30—and if, when the final returns are in, Nebraska has to yield to a new crown-holder, the reasons will be pretty obvious.
Perhaps the most appalling statistic confronting Coach Weir is the knowledge that he does not return a single performer who corralled points in the running events at Lincoln last spring. Of the sixteen men sharing in the Huskers' total bag of $105_{3/4}$ points, only four are back. They are: Don Cooper and Leonard Kehl, pole-vaulters; Dick Meissner and Robert Sand, high-jumpers. Last May this quartet gathered in $17_{1/2}$ points.
Gone are such hustling, handy guys as Harry Meginnis, 100 and 220-yard dash kingpin; Bob Berkshire, winner of the highs and third in the lows; Wendell Cole, third and fourth respectively in the highs and lows; Loyal Hurlbert and Harold Kopf, middle - distance "money" runners; versatile Jim McConnell, who placed in four field events; Wayne Sees, discus; Warren Monson and Ray Magsamen, javelin.
Tough shoes to fill these, but Weir somehow managed to put his 1951 track affairs in order and a keyed-up Nebraska outfit tallied $40.2^ {\circ}$ points to make off with the indoor bunting at Kansas City two months ago. Then the roof fell in
when Air Force reserve calls took three key Cornhuskers—Hobe Jones, Wendell Cole and Ken Jacobs.
Jones, an outstanding newcomer had won the league's 880-yard crown indoors, and was fifth in the mile. Cole, who placed in both outdoor hurdle events a year ago, ran second in the indoor lows. Jacobs finished third in the mile. Together, they contributed 13 points to the N. U. cause, almost one-third of the team's winning figure.
While Nebraska's team potential has been sapped both by graduation and military demands, the Huskers still should field at least three individual standouts here in the persons of Don Cooper and Leonard Kehl, pole-vaulters, and Dick Meissner, the Big Seven's most-improved high-jumper.
Cooper elevated himself into elite vaulting society at the Kansas Relays, sailing over the bar at 15 feet $ \frac{1}{8} $ inch. That's more than a foot above the existing conference record of 13 feet $ \frac{11}{8} $ inches, set by Oklahoma's Bill Carroll just last year.
Bespectacled Don is another of the loop's extraordinary performers, who is currently nursing an ailment. He pulled a muscle at Drake after clearing at 14 feet 6 inches, but should be ready for the Big Seven meet.
Eastern Conference Adopts Freshman Rule
Kehl, the brush-haired southpaw,

New York (U.P.)—Freshmen were given an okay to play on varsity teams in the Eastern College Athletic conference, which includes the Ivy league.
The action is part of a nationwide trend already adopted by the Big Ten, Pacific Coast, Southern, Southeastern and Big Seven conferences. The Southwest conference, however, recently turned down a plan to let freshmen play on varsity teams.

who'd be headline material in any other camp except Nebraska. His 13 foot $6^{2}$ inch hoist won the indoor meet two months ago.
Scarely a threat to the Bob Gordon - Virgil Severn's high - jump monopoly last year, Nebraska's Meissner went 6 feet 7 inches at Drake recently to defeat Mizzou's Gorden, the 1950 outdoor titlist, and Dick Jones, Oklahoma's stellar and highly-consistent entry.
