Missouri climbed into undisputed possession of first place in the Big Six baseball race by trimming Nebraska, 6 to 4. Monday. Stewart Finlayson, the big Tiger righthander who shut out the Jayhawkers here Friday, let down the Cornhusker batsmates with six hits while his teammates were cracking out 10.
Conference track teams suffered varied fates in meets away from home during the weekend Missouri thinlacks traveled clear to West Point for a pentagonal meet with the United States Military academy, Harvard. Columbia, and Dartmouth.

The Tigers ended up on top with a total of $93\frac{1}{2}$ points. Army was second with 60 points while Harvard scored $47\frac{1}{2}$, Columbia 28, and Dartmouth 11. The Missouri victory was back in the New York area where national athletic publicity is born.
Missouri took eight firsts in the five team meet. Robert Bosworth won the mile run in 4:21.8 upsetting Bill Berger of Columbia. Bill Chronister of the Tiger squad came in third in the same event.
Bob Blakely took first in the 120-yard high hurdles with a time of 15 seconds flat. Floyd Gaultney of Missouri came in fourth in the same race.
Big Ed Quirk heaved the shot 50 feet, $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch to take first in the event. Missouri also picked up a fourth and a fifth in the shot on tosses by Nelson Klaus and Mel Sheehan.
Dick Killough of Missouri won the 880-yard run in 1:56.9. He was followed to the tape by teammate Dick Schmidt.
the Tigers swept the first three places in the 220-yard low hurdles, Garlick; Jelich and Bob Blakely made that tide theirs' winning time, 0.24 seconds.
Bob Teel took first in the broad jump with a leap of 23.25 feet. Bill Blackwell tied for first in the pole vault with Peter Harwood of Harvard. The top height was 13 feet.
Mel Sheehan, Missouri discus star,
came through with a first in his
event. He tossed the platter 148.7
feet, only 3 feet farther than
the mark of teammate Nelson Klaus
who placed second.
With such a decisive success behind them back East, the Tigers will be heavy favorites to capture the conference outdoor crown this spring. The Jayhawkers of coach Jim O'Neill, but the depth of the Missouri squad makes the Columbia crew appear too powerful this year.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers were less successful in an invasion of Boulder where they dropped a dual meet to the Colorado Buffaloes by a score of 37 to 89. The team from Lincoln managed three firsts 16-5, 20-4, 16-5, Bobby Clyne won the mile in 4:36.5. Herb Grote took the javelin with a toss of 188 feet a new meet record. King, the Cornhusker hurler, also set a meet record when he sped over the 120-yard highs in 15.3 seconds.
