Cornhuskers Host Conference Track
LINCOLN, Neb.—Nebraska's Capitol City is bustling in anticipation of the 37th Annual Big Eight Track and Field Championships, slated at the University of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, Friday and Saturday.
In days gone by, the Cornhuskers hosted the loop carnival every year. But this will mark the first Nebraska stop on the Big Eight wheel—the last time the meet was here was in 1957 and the league was sans Oklahoma State, the Big Seven.
Thus, a state which has a history of savoring outstanding track gatherings is looking forward to a gala weekend.
Memorial Stadium's track has been completely refurbished — even to mixing in 25 loads of fine clay this week in an effort to insure the fastest possible track. The NU track was completely replaced this past winter.
Delts Wrap Up KU Swim Title
Three records were broken as Delta Tau Delta won the 1965 KU intramural swimming championship last night in the Robinson Gymnastium pool. The Delts edged the Surfers by only two points in capturing the crown, 28-26.
Sigma NU's two relay teams raced to records in the 160-yd. free style and the 160-yd. medley relays. Tim Wettack, Co-Founder of the Lionsville Moines, In., sophomore; Jim Alley, Wichita freshman; and Jim Ash, Wichita sophomore, composed the free style team that powered the record to 1:16.0 and the final 1:19.8 set by Delta Upson last vent.
WETTACK, ALLEY, Ash, and Roy Thompson, Des Maines, Ina, freshman, wawaii rally the previous record when 1:35.3 set by Ellsworth and Sigma Nu.
Tom VanSlyke, Wichita sophomore,
set a new record in winning the 100-yd.
free style. VanSlyke, a member of the
Delta Upsilon team, turned in a 53.2 for
the distance, bettering the record he had
set the night before in the preliminaries
JON CATERINO (Surfers). Adrian Mich., freshman, won the 60-yd. butter-
The 60-yd. free style was captured by Shauna, Neb. frachnau, in 20 seconds (49).
Tom Swale (Delta Chi), Prairie Village
hit by a 36.4 victory in the
60-second back stroke.
TED GRAHAM (Phl Gam), Wichita
phomore, won the 60-yrd breast stroke in
1972.
Even the Lincoln Chamber's Sports and Recreation Committee is joining in the festivities by assigning local "hosts" to root for and assist in any way the visiting teams.
AND WHILE Nebraskans are extending a sincere welcome to the Big Eight athletes, officials, fans and newsmen, there is every indication the conference track and field stars are in condition to respond with some outstanding performances.
For example, Memorial Stadium—actually, it's an "indoor-outdoor" plant since the South Stadium was constructed over the track and a pseudo tunnel exists at the south end—may be set to host its first subfour minute mile. Robin Lingle of Missouri has already churned 4:01.7. A trio of KU milers, including Herald Hadley, and Charles Harper of Kansas State may be able to push Lingle far below Cornhusker Ray Stevens' 1963 record of 4:04.9.
LIKEWISE, the oldest record on the books—the 109.4 in the 100-yard dash—appears to be in solid jeopardy from the likes of Nebraska's Charlie Greene, Oklahoma State's Mickey Miller, Oklahoma's Jim Jackson—and the indoor 60 record holder—and Nebraska's Lynn Headley, the defending champion.
So talented is the Big Eight field this year—six athletes who won eight titles last year are back—that the only records that seem absolutely safe from the 1965 onslaught are the shot put and the broad jump, and possibly the discus.
DEFENDING champs, in addition to Headley, are Dave Crook of Nebraska (440), Lingle in the mile and three-mile, Colorado's Jim Miller (both hurdles), Tom Purma of KU in the javelin and Oklahoma State's Russ Laverty in the high jump. Miller, by the way, won the Henry Schulte Award in 1964.
In the team race, which promises to be spirited, it appears defending outdoor champion Kansas and 1965 indoor champion Missouri are preparing for a renewal of their ancient feud.
Waiting in the wings, with solid point potential, for the top favorites to duel themselves down to the upset level will be the host Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oklahoma Sooners.
