Scofield, Olympic Possibility May Meet Top U.S. Jumper
Tom Scofield, ace Jayhawker high jumper and captain of next year's track team, established himself as a possible member of the 1948 Olympic team when he cleared the bar at 6 feet $7\%$ inches at the recent Big Six meet. His jump earned him the number two spot among the nation's collegiate high jumpers.
Bill Vessie of Columbia is the only collegiate high jumper in the country who has beat Scofield's mark this year, and his best jump of 6 feet 8 inches gives him the top honors.
Tom is anxious to meet Vessie in competition and expects to do so at the National Collegiate meet, June 20. at Salt Lake City.
"I think I can beat him because I think I can jump higher than I did at Lincoln." he says. "Everyone else dropped out at 6 feet 1 inch in the Big Six meet and I had to go on up by myself. It's always easier to jump when you have someone to compete against, because you work a lot harder when you're trying to beat someone."
He has been called one of the most unorthodox jumpers in the country by some sports writers, because he uses two different forms to clear the bar and may even experiment with techniques during a meet.
This is far off the beaten path of sound sports law and a trait which might make some coaches mutter in their sleep. Yet he uses an alternating combination of the western-roll and the belly-roll.
He doesn't see anything peculiar about his constant mixing of two forms. "It keeps me from getting in a rut and too plead," he explains.
"Here is the angle. I like to use my western-wall until the bar gets up to 6-4. Then I change to the belly-roll. I figure it gives me two more inches of clearance. For the belly-roll you clear the bar face down with your

'Skip' Williams To National Meet
back leg following your lead leg over.
Dick "Skip" Williams, sophomore in the College and best all-around shot of the Kansas trapshooting championships, said today he would use his $50 prize money to go to the national meet at Vandalia, Ohio. He broke 363 clay pigeons of a possible 400 as the state finals were reeled off in windy, rainy weather yesterday. His mark was one bird better than that of Tom Palmer of Kansas City, Kansas.
"Using the western form you must tuck your inside leg up under your lead leg so that they both clear the bar at the same time. And don't forget, you go over hip-down which adds that two inches because you're on your side instead of belly down. The western type is more difficult the higher the bar gets because you have to jerk the inside leg up at more and more of an angle. Naturally that isn't easy to do."
He has a busy summer ahead of him, with some of the nations biggest meets coming up, Saturday. he goes to the Central Collegiate Conference meet at Milwaukee. He tied for third with a jump of 6 feet 4 inches at this meet last year. June 13, he will participate in the Big Six Southwestern carnival at Dallas. June 30 brings the National Collegiate meet at Salt Lake City and possibly his first meeting with Vessie, and July 4, the National AAU meet where Lincoln track fans will have a chance to see him perform again. He cleared 6 feet 4 inches to tie for third in this meet last year.
