Captain Smith Victim of Only
Two Slipups Made in Chicago Meet
Husker Star Thought Was Out of Both
Events Cold for Each Start, But
Led Field of 220's for 150 yards.
Captain Ed Smith, of the Nebraska
Cornhuskers, was the victim of the
only two known slip-ups made by of
ficials at tne national track and field
championship last Saturday. Good of
ficials, all of them, they twice informt-a
Smith he was not to run and at the
last moment, when the Husker cap
tain was cold and unprepared, they
held the start while the Ncbraskan
got time to get jnto the race, although
without a chance to warm up.
The first slipup made by the of
ficials was in the 100-yard dash.
"Smith stepped along to an easy sec
ond to qualify", said Coach Henry F.
Schulte in recounting the events of
the meet. "He ran in lane one, the
'fatal lane', and the judges missed
him and placed Desch of Notre Dame,
who was a yard back of Smith".
The error was seen by a group ol
coaches of which Schulte was one.
The Nebraska mentor for several min
utes refused to make a fuss, but the
pressuqo from the other track
couches finally induced him to pro
test. The judges stood firm. Pro
STEELE HOLCOMBUS
BUSY MAN IN EGYPT
Harold Long Writes Telling of Work
of Former Cornhusker Student
in Eastern Y. M.
Word lias been received from
Harold B. Long, a former student,
telling of a meeting with Steele Ho1
comb in Egypt. Mr. Long says, "Hol
comb and I met by chance. He had
walked into the hotel to mail a pack
age and was going out just as I was
coming in. Egypt hadn't changed him
a bit; he was the same old Steel a
altho he seemed to be a trifle thinner.
I was surprised to find him looking
so well for the summers in Cairo are
intensely hot and foreigners break
down as a rule after a year or two
of Egyptian climate. Holeomb is in
the Egyptian Y. M. C. A and outside
of his other duties is supervising the
remodeling of an immense residence
for Y. M. purposes. The native boys
fairly worship ,him, and well they
might for what he has done for them.
One can see the difference between
them and the boys of the street at a
glance.
"The Holcombs have nice room3,
three stories up, very high ceilings, of
course, on account of the heat and
everything is covered with nets to
keep out the millions of flies'. After
seeing Steele off and on for two weeks
watching him work, hearing him talk
in Arabic to the native boys and
setting a wonderful example in show
ing real Christian spirit and being
a real man, one cannot be a trua Ne
braskan without being proud of him."
tests on the part or oiner omciais aim
coaches availed nothing. Smith, with
no prospect of getting into the race,
loosened his shoes and relaxed in th
shade of the stands.
Schulte explains it this way. "With
the 100-yard men on their marks for
the finals and the starter's gun np,
the latter was signalled to wait. Smith
was called for and without a warm-up,
laced his shoes, dug his starting holes
and started with the group. His close
fifth place for a half point was ah
that cculd be expected".
Again in the 220, Smith received a
poor decision. Nosed out for second
place in the last few paces of the race,
Smith was Informed that he could not
run. After waiting around a few mo
ments, he went in to dress. Again
the starter was ready to fire the gun
when a clerk rushed up and announ
ced that Smith should run. Schulte
found Smith in the hot showers. The
Husker captain dressed and' started
with the pacers. Without a warm-up
he led the men for 150 yards. He
then fell back, the shower which h
had taken having been fatal.
"Smith was the victim of the only
two slip ups on the part of the officials
I know of during the meet," snto
Coach Schulte. "Gish. Muulton. Haw
