Big Six Track Stars To NU For 19th Annual Contest
The best track talent the Big Six has to offer goes on display tomorrow at the 19th annual all-conference meet in Lincoln. The preliminaries are being run today.
Most of the interest will be on the wide-open scramble for second and third place. Missouri has already been picked for the top spot, as the Tiger's overwhelming strength in the hurdles and sprints, plus an all-round well-balanced squad, makes?
them look like a cinch for the 1947 championship.
KU-NU In Second Place Battle
Any other team strong enough to stack up 100 points in the six-place carnival is almost assured of second place. The battle here is expected between Kansas, the defending champion, and Nebraska, perennial pre-war champs.
The Jayhawks, who nosed out the Cornhuskers by three points for the crown last May, will pit their fiveman javelin corps and fair team strength against the Cornhuskers' small but brilliant roster of individual performers, such as Bobby Ginn, ace miler; Monte Kinder, high jumper; Herb Grote, javelin toser, and Don Cooper. How many points Coach Wier's men can pick up in the remaining events will probably make the difference. Running on their home track, the Cornhuskers must be favored to retain the second place spot they took last year.
440 Yard Dash Event
440-Yard Dash Event
Kansas and Nebraska runners will be cast against each other in the day's three headline races, the 440-At least six top contenders are in yard dash, the half mile and the mile, each of these distances making even the final point for sixth place a hard-earned one.
John Jackson, the Jayhawks 440 king, will face a tough fight to retain his title. Dick Ault and Elmer Klein of Missouri finished in a dead heat at 48.8 as the Tigers beat Kansas in a dual meet last week. This figure equals Jackson's best time. However, he did not enter the distance at Columbia. Nebraska's Harvey Stroud, who ran second in last year's meet, will be back, along with Oklahoma's Landon Westbrook. Another possibility for the Tigers is Dick Schmidt, who beat Strud in a recent dual meet by running a dead heat with Ault at 49.6.
Half Mile A Toss-Up
The half mile is expected to be chiefly a Missouri-Nebraska affair, with Ginn and freshman Harold Kopf matching strides with the Tigers' Dick Killough, defending champ, and Charles Lancaster. Pieratt Johnson and Harold Hinchee will carry Kansas hopes in this event.
Gunn, who set a new indoor mile mark of 4:19.7 last March, may have a difficult time repeating. He beat Missouri's Bob Bosworth and Bill Chronister by 15 yards recently with a 4:23.3 performance, and Hal Moore, the Jayhawk's mile master, by 30 yards indoors. He may have to do under 4:20 again to win, with any of his challengers capable of pulling an upset. Bob Karnes, the Kansas Relays record holder from Overbrook, will be the Jayhawk's second threat.
Kansas' Hopes On Karnes, Moore
Kansas Hopes On Upon Karnes and Moore rest much of Kansas' second place hopes. They will double in the mile and two-mile, and the load against the fast mile field is certain to take a toll. Karnes won the indoor two-mile title, but will face a more determined field at Lincoln. Chief contenders will be Nebraska's Don Morrison, and R. C. Slocum, John Canaris and Lonny Chapman, all of Oklahoma. Moore has been a consistent second to Karnes in outdoor meets this spring and finished in a dead heat with him at Missouri.
Kansas In Javelin Event
Kansas expects to draw most of its remaining points from its astonishing array of javelin throwers. Grote, the defending champion and record holder, is favored, but the Jayhawks are likely to take the next four games against Bob Cliff King, and Bob Kline are the men here, with Leroy Robinson, twice wartime champ, another possibility.
Every one of these contenders has hit 180 feet or more during his career and there isn't another conference javelin thrower, aside from Grote, who has matched that mark. Robinson, who took individual
scoring honors last year with 22 points, also is expected to pick up points in the shut put and the discuss. Kline and his freshman teammate, Charles Penny, also will double in the weight events.
Tom Scofield, the Jayhawk's defending high jump king, ranks as favorite in his specialty. He and Iowa State's Dwayne Feekin set a new record of 6 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches last year.
