NCAA Track Extravaganza Opens To day Trojan Tracksters May Win 6 Firsts in Meet Nebraska has been invaded by swarm of Southern California Trojans numbering 11. They constitute the SC track and field varsity which is favored to annex another NCAA title and may capture six first places in a meet that draws the best collegiate athletes from all parts of the U.S.A. There also is a possibility that several world records will be set by some of them in the twilight activities because the Lincoln track is acknowledged as fast and all four. at the same time, and a nirecior win nut on tne air men lights of each tilt as the action progresses. Dates of the panoramic telecasts, or 'TV Games of the Week," are Oct.

24 and Nov. 7. George (Potsy) Clark, University of Nebraska athletic director, said Friday he is "delighted" that the Husker Oregon game will be beamed to a nationwide audience. Nebraska University officials pointed out that NU will not fare so well imanciaily, however, as many schools outside the Big Seven Conference with games being televised. That is because the Nebraska half of the TV game receipts must1 De divided equally among all Big Seven members, according to a conference policy adopted last summer.

TELEVISION receipts for a single game figure up to around $100,000. Nebraska's share of the check for the Oregon tilt, thusly, would be one seventh of $50,000, or roughly $7,000. Only once before in history has a Husker grid contest been seen by a national video audience. That was the 1951 game with Colorado, won handily by the visiting Buffaloes, 36 14. In 1948 and 1949, before the NCAA placed restrictions on the telecasting of football games, Husker home tilts were carried by WOW TV in Omaha.

TWO OTHER games involving Big Seven teams are included in the NCAA video program for 1953. The Oklahoma Texas contest on Oct. 30 will be telecast in full. Parts of the Kansas State Kansas encounter Nov. 27 will be shown under the four game panoramic plan.

The NCAA has approved the telecast slate to be carried on 81 NBC stations from coast to coast. Here's the full schedule: Holy Cross i Dec. 3 Southern McthDdist at Notre Dame.

After that they join the Los Angeles Athletic Club in quest ol the National AAU flag. O'Brien, who already has his world record for '53, hopes to prove upon his best of all Journal LINCOLN 1, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1953 M.

AMERICA ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE TEXAS LEAGUE COAST LEAGUE TIONAI, LEAGUE Of Olympics Brutus Hamilton, athletic director at the University of California, described the 1952 Olympics to a Public Affairs Luncheon gathering at the Chamber of Commerce Friday noon. Hamilton took time to pay tribute to Henry F. (Indian) Schulte, former Nebraska coach 'whose foresight led to the fine track at the University of Ne braska which attracts the finest in the sport. "If I had to choose one word to describe the 1952 Olympics Helsinki," Hamilton said, "it graclousness.

Iness has been the hard luck kid of the trio in his attempt to break the global mark for the discus throw. Twice in practice he has thrown the saucer farther than is listed in the record books, but in mid spring he slipped on a rug and wrecked a knee. Then last Saturday night in a meet at Stockton he was hit in the mouth by a discus, lost two teeth and had seven others loosened. Several stitches were still on the inside of his mouth as he caught the plane for the meet. Three times this year Jack Davis has been timed in 13.6 for the 120 high hurdles.

That is only one tenth of a second off the best ever, established by Dick Attlesey when he was running for Southern California. Last week Davis proved that he is approaching his best form in the 220 low hurdles when he skimmed the route 22.8, a tenth off the NCAA record for this race One of these days Jack may break the world mark for the event, now held by Harrison Dil I lard a is just as great a sprinter a hurdler. WITH THOSE four firsts all but in the bag, Coach Mortensen has declared there are possibilities more. Jim Lea seems to be the best collegiate quarter miler around and his teammate Verle Sorgen might be second best. Lea has run under 47 flat couple of times this year while anchoring mile relay teams anc capable of a 21 flat or better the furlong.

Sorgen's best corded time with a standing start or a lap is 47.6. There's a big IF as to the sixth possibility for a first. It all depends upon Ernie Shelton who Mortensen declares will set a new world's record of 7 feet or higher before his college days are ended. At the moment he has climbed no higher than 6 feet 8, he has not been under 6 feet 7 lr four starts. That's rather sistent for a high jumper and a soohomore at that.

Not too much is expected of Joe Graffio. a 9.7 snnnter Manuel Ronquillo, a 6 feet 6 high jumper. But Willard Wright who has run the high hurdles in 14.2 this year, and Leon Clarke a low stick comer with a tin 23 6 are exDected to score. Dick Genther, added as the leventh man on the team, might edge into the point column if at best in the naveiin. mat nest the year is 202 feet 3 'a.
