"Hobo" Gilstrap, Sooner low hurdler, took second in the Big Six outdoor meet at Lincoln Saturday to add to his list of track surprises this season. Not counted were the teammates and cobs to score many points this season, "Hobo" pulled several low hurdle upsets.
He beat out McClay of Kansas State and Blakely of Missouri in Saturday's race. Both men were rated to hit the tape ahead of Gilstrap.
Sooner coach Jacobs made this remark after the recent Oklahoma A. and M. dual meet: "He is just like a through freight. It takes him a little while to get underway but when he gets moving, brother, watch out."
In the dual meet with the Aggies, Gilstrap was last man over the first hurdle but ended up three yards in front of Neil Armstrong standout Cowboy athlete.

Big Six Title To Sooners By K.U., Iowa State Wins
The Oklahoma Sooners clinched the Big Six baseball title Tuesday without lifting a bat. The Jaya-hawkers' defeat of Missouri, 2 to 1, coupled with an Iowa State victory over Kansas State by the same score, handed the championship to the Norman team.
Kansas State went into the game with the Cyclones tied with Oklahoma for the lead, but the 1-hit pitching of Cycle Gene Mahaney closed* the Aggie season with a loss. The lone Wildcat run came in the fourth without the aid of a hit.
Both Iowa State runs came in the eighth. A walk, an error, a triple by Davey Jones, and Don Paulsen's single pushed the vital runs home.
Iowa State center fielder Jim Hogue saved the game for the
Cyclones in the ninth inning when he backed up to the fence for Charlie Kier's line drive and threw to first to double Dave Bremner and me.
Here are the Big Six standings:
