Big Seven Track Title To Tigers In A Breeze
Bv DARELL NORRIS
The annual Big Seven track and field meet held in Lincoln, Nebr., Saturday was a colorful affair. The only trouble was the color was too much the Black and Gold of the Missouri Tigers.
The Tigers, led by record-breakers in the high and low hurdles, won the meet with a total of 143 points. Nebraska finished runner-up with 93 $ \frac{3}{4} $ points, and Kansas took thirde with 67 $ \frac{3}{4} $ points.
Bud Gartiser skimmed the 120-
yard high hurdles in 14.2 to better
the 18-year old record of 14.5 set by
Bob Hager of Iowa State in 1930.
Gardiser's teammate, Dick Ault,
beat him on the final hurdle in the
220-yard low hurdles to top the previous record. Ault raced over the barriers in 23.3.
Big Rollin Prather, Kansas State weight man, was the only other record-breaker of the meet. Prather threw the shot 53 feet 2 7/8 inches to successfully defend his shot put title of 1947, and break the old record of 52 feet 7 1/8 inches, set in 1945 by Missouri's Bill Bangert.
High jumper Tom Sofofield defended his title by winning from Sonny Howard of Missouri. Tall Tom

leaped 6 feet $4 \frac{1}{8}$ inches as he hung up his third championship in the high jump in as many years. Scofield has never been beaten at Lincoln.
Nebraska showed why it was able to grab runner-up honors when its dash trio of Meginnis, Hutton, and Thompson swept the 220-yard dash. These same speedsters also ran first, second, and fourth in the 100-yard dash.
Bill Easton's Jayhawkers were able to take third place on the strength of their individual stars. Bob Karnes was one of the three double winners of the final spree at Missouri's Bob Bosworth to win the mile, then came back to whip a large field of two-mile plodders.
Other double winners in the meet were Prather who won the shot put and discus, and Nebraska's Harry Meginnis who sped to the 100 and 220-vard dash titles.
Dick Shea also brought the Jaya- hawkers a first place worth 10 points when he literally ran the 880-yard boys into the ground. After finishing second in his preliminary heat on Friday, Shea came back Saturday to win the half in 1:55.5.
The Henry Schulte Memorial trophy, which is awarded annually to the outstanding competitor in the meet, went to Prather on the basis of his record breaking shot put heave and his first place in the discus. Scottfield of Kansas received the trophy last year.
