Missouri Favored To Win Big 7 Indoor Track Meet
The University of Missouri is favored to win the 21st annual Big Seven indoor track championship meet in the Municipal auditorium Friday and Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. Nebraska is given a good chance of upsetting the Tigers, however. In a dual meet this season Missouri beat the Cornhuskers 62 2-3 to 41 1-3.
The meet will be the first two night affairs in the history of the Big Seven meet. The large number of entrants is the chief reason for the expansion. Last year's event was a sellout with an attendance of 8,500 and many others unable to obtain seats. The two days of events will allow more people to see the track meet. The broad jump finals will be Friday night, but the remainder of the finals will be Saturday night.
Five individual champions will attempt to defend their 1948 titles. Loyal Hurlbert, Nebraska, 440; Jim Martin, Nebraska, 880; Bob Karnes, Kansas, 2-mile and Bill Carroll, Oklahoma and Clare Gregg, Colorado, pole vault are the champions who are expected to have trouble keeping their titles. Rollin Prather, Kansas State's shot put ace, is considered to have the best chance of keeping his championship. Big Rollin's best season mark is 50 feet 9 inches, while the next best mark is 49 feet 1 inch.
Reaves Peters, executive secretary of the Big-Seven predicts fewer broken records than last year, but closer competition. He believes the long race finishes will be almost as close as in the dash events. Six records were broken last year and one was tied.
The oldest meet record is the 60-yard dash. In 1940, Littler of Nebraska set the record at :06.3. It has been tied in 1941, 1947 and two runners tied the mark in 1948.

Bill Will Give KS More Money
Senators Paul Wunsch (Kingman) and I. M. Platt (Junction City) introduced a bill calling for a supplemental $725,000 for the Kansas State field house. Already available was $1,050,000, previously appropriated by the legislature, but the additional grant was needed to complete the job.
"This is the biggest step ever taken in the direction of correcting athletic needs here," Gardner said Wednesday night.
A well-rounded sport program for Kansas State seemed to be assured by prospects of the new field house, according to Thurlo McCrady, athletic director.
