Huskers Nip Tigers 61.5-60
Kansas Trackmen In Sixth Place
Nebraska, a team that was conceded the championship by a wide margin, barely nosed out the Missouri Tigers, 61½ to 60, in the annual Big Six track and field meet held in Lincoln yesterday afternoon. Missouri was leading most of the afternoon and it was not until the final event, the mile relay, that the Huskers were assured of their title when Gene Littler, running anchor, overcame a 10 yard lead by Missouri to win.
Iowa State finished in a surprise third place with $30\frac{1}{2}$ points, Kansas State was fourth with 27, Oklahoma, fifth, 23, and Kansas in sixth with 22 points.
Two records were broken. Sol Schumitzky, Missouri broadjumper, erased the 24 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inch record set by Harold Morris of Oklahoma in 1923, when he jumped 24 feet 8 inches. The other record was established by Husker's Harold Hunt in the pole vault at 13 feet $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches. The old mark was held by Ray Noble, former Jayhawk star, at 13 feet $8\frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Missouri had only four winners to seven Nebraska champions, but salvaged enough seconds and thirds to make their title bid. Oklahoma won three events and Kansas one.
Norman Sanneman, Kansas' human kangaroo, won the high jump at 6 feet 3 inches, but failed to break the conference record of 6 feet $37\frac{1}{8}$ inches. Both Sanneman and Bob Stoland, who finished in a second place tie with Baxter of Iowa State, have cleared 6 feet 4 inches this season.
Dick Edwards, lanky Jayhawk distance star, made a last lap challenge to pass Bob Ginn of Nebraska in the mile run, but Ginn staved him off on the final turn and lasted to win. The time was 4 minutes 22.4 seconds.
Other Kansas points were made by Darrell Mathes with a fourth place in the 110 and 220 yard dashes, a fourth and a fifth by J. R. Jones and Stoland in the broadjump; a tie for fourth in the pole vault between Jack Michener, and Jimmy Cordell, and a fifth in the 220-yard dash by Kenny Hamilton.

Activity on the sports front is practically finished for the year . . . Only the two game baseball series with Iowa State here tomorrow and Tuesday remains to be played . . . Golf and track ended ten days ago, track took its final bow yesterday at the conference meet, and the intramural softball season was climaxed with the Phi Psi-Beta battle Friday.
A player to keep your eye on in the Iowa State games is big Ellis Alexander, Cyclone first baseman. . Four for four was his batting record in a recent game with Kansas State. . Ed Hall, Kansas shortstop, should be glad to see Pitcher Leon Wilson of Iowa State come to town. . Ed helped himself to couple of home runs and a pair of doubles the last time he faced Wilson.
Iowa's high school coaching clinic this summer will have two of the top basketball coaches in the country on its faculty — "Phog" Allen and Henry Iba. Kansas State's track squad defeated Oklahoma the other day for the first time since 1915.
Until the Missouri series this week, Iowa State was batting .305 as a team. . Doug Strohbehn, veteran third sacker, is leading the hit parade with a .406 average with Captain Bob Benedict, center fielder, is only nine points behind with .397.

Wildcats Sweep Series
Kansas State got away to a fast start and ended its baseball season with a 10-6 triumph over Kansas at Manhattan yesterday.
T. P. Hunter and Bob Allen opened the game for Kansas with singles. Knute Kresie brought them home on his base blow to send Kansas into an early lead.
In the last half of the first the Wildcats countered with base hits by Neal Hugos and Ray Rokey.
Ken Graham's hit brought them home. Chris Langvardt walked and Ray Dunlay cleaned the bases with his homer giving Kansas State a 5-2 advantage.
Knute Kresie led the Kansas hitting with three hits in as many trips to the plate. Kresie, John Burge, and Ramie Beims poled doubles for the Jayhawkers.
ley Kier and a double by Dunlay paced the Kansas State batters.
Home runs by Dunlay and Char-
Floyd Kirkland, hurling for Kansas State, allowed nine hits, struck out six batters and walked five men. On the mound for Kansas, John Burge gave up 10 hits, fanned two batters, and walked three.
Beta's Rally
Going into the sixth one run behind, Mit Allen, the first Phi Psi batter, walked. Ralph Miller singled and Steve Meade walked. With the bases loaded, Max Kissell hit a long single to centerfield, scoring Allen and Miller. Then, with two down, Spike Robertson and Dick Miller singed in succession, scoring Kissell and giving the Psi's a two run lead which they were able to hold the rest of the game.

The Beta team committed seven errors. They rallied in the third, fourth and fifth innings but were unable to keep it going. The most spectacular scoring play of the game was Scotty Fees' steal at home plate after Dean Phillips had been forced.
By MAURICE BARINGER
Mit Allen, pitching six-hit ball, led the Phi Psi's to the 1941 intramural softball championship Friday as they handed the Beta's their first defeat in more than two seasons of play. The Phi Psi's scored seven runs on nine hits to five runs on six hits for the Beta's.
The Psi's piled up an early lead of 4-0 in three innings. The Beta's came back to hold the Psi's scoreless in the fourth and fifth frames while they were counting five times.
Pierce Shines Defensively
Phi Psi star Friday and for the playoff series was Max Kissell, shortstop, who hit over .400 in the regular season and batted .855 in the playoffs.
Coronado Shirts, Ties, Hats Ready - - - Store Closed Friday
Don Pierce, Beta shortstop, was the outstanding player on the defense for the losers. None of the Beta's hit effectively offerings of Allen, who was pitching his third playoff game in four days. He was in his top form of the series Friday.
