THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Booth Places Nebraska High In Soort World Despite Gloomy Prospects New Coach Builds Exceptional Football Squad 1902 OPPONENTS FAIL TO CROSS GOAL LINE (Series V) (Editor's NoU) Thi. i. the fifth chapter of an historical resume of Nebraska ath letics which has been compiled hy a member of The Daily Nebraskan ports staff. A chapter of this ac count will appear in each issue of The Daily Nebraskan for the re mainder of the school year. By Jack Elliott The football coach at the Univer sity of Nebraska during the three years of 1900, 1901, and 1902, while the Cornhusker school was at its height of football power, was Walter C. Booth, former Princeton gridiron star. Coach Booth came to Ne braska in the autumn of l'JOO, grad uating from Princeton in the spring of the same year. He brought with him a reputation of great deeds on the gridiron, as the excenter on the Princeton eleven. Booth played cen ter on the team during thei three years of 1897, 98, and 99, taking part in every game during that time. Nebraska's disastrous year of 1899 furnished a gloomy outlook for the new Husker coach, but he started in determined to turn out a winning team and for three years he put three of the strongest teams on the grid iron that Nebraska had ever seen. In 1901 and 1902 Booth was kept at Ne braska as physical director of athlet ics and besides coaching studied law in the University. Palmer was Assisted The assistant coach to Booth in 102 was Lew R. Folu-er, an old classmate of Booth who played with him on the Princeton team of 1898 and 99. His position was left end and he was known as one of the best ends in the history of Princeton Uni Ter3ity, making an end position on the All-American team in 1898. The captain of the Cornhuskcr eleven for 1902 was John Westover, who was leading the Nebraska eleven for the second consecutive year. He led the Nebraska team against the strong M'nneBota eleven and defeated them for the first time In history. Westover's football career began at Nebraska when he was a substitute oa the squad of 1897. He was cap tain of the 1901 and 1902 teams and the first man to lead tne Cornhusker for two consecutive years. Huskers Avenge Minnesota Defeat The season of 1902 was a degree better than the year before, by the . Cornhusker's victory over the Min nesota eleven. In 1900 the Gophers beat Nebraska 20 to 12 and was the only team to cross the Husker goal line, but in 1902 Nebraska allowed no team to cross the Husker goal line, and avenged the Minnesota de feat Nebraska's football team made a total of 187 points that season, while the ten opposing teams scored noth ing. On September 20, the Nebraska team opened the season by beating Lincoln high 28 to 0. Then the sea son of continuous victories follows as the games were played: Nebraska Buiits, 51 to 0; Nebraska-Colorado at Boulder, 10 to 0; Nebraska-Grin-nell, 17 to 0; Nebraska-Minnesota at Minneapolis, 6 to 0; Nebraska-Missouri at St. Joseph, 12 to 0; Ne-braska-Haskell, 12 to 0; Nebraska Kansas, 16 to 0; Nebraska-Knox, 7 to 0, and Nebraska-Northwestern, 12 to 0.

IIP a season holding ten teams scoreless, Personnel of Squad The victorious team at Nebraska in 1902 was made up of the following men: S. V. Cortelyou, C. F. Shedd, and E. A. Tollmer, ends. Captain John Wcolover, C. K. "Si" Mason, II. S. Wilson, tackles; J. F. Tobin, C. E. Cotton, F. M. Hunter, J. D. Ringer, guards; C. T. Borg, center; O. B. Thorpe, M. A. Benedict, J. R. Bender, J. H. Bell, Wm. Englehart, and O. H. Mickel made up the back- field. Nebraska's 1902 basketball team was made up of entirely new material and when the Nebraska coaches started working out with the court sqquad they had to mould a new team. This year was only fairly suc cessful on the court, the Husker quin tet winning 7 games out of the sched uled 12. Basketball was still young at Nebraska and the interest in this winter sport had not reached a large number of fans. The schedule consisted of a num ber of games away from home. Such teams as Minnesota, Minnesota Agricultural College, Cheyenne, Wyoj Business College, Greeley, Colorado high school, Colorado University, Colorado College, Denver Y. M. C. A., Kansas, and Haskell were all met on foreign courts. Baseball Was Successful Baseball at Nebraska was a most successful sport and the team of 1902 experienced one of tne most success ful years on the diamond. Twenty- six teams were met and but 8 games were lost by the Husker bat wielders! during this year on the diamond. The teams that were defeated by the Nebraska nine were, the Kansas Ag gies, St. Marys College, Washburn College, Kansas University, Missouri, Purdue, Knox, Iowa, Highland Park, Minnesota, and Luther College. The high score game of the season was the Kansas game at Lincoln, Ne braska winning 25 to 8. Bell Lead Basketball Squad The 1902 baseball nine was cap tained by J. H. Bell and the members of the team were as follows; J. R. Bender, Bert Doane, S. J. Letheby, M. E. Townsend, R. H. Gaeves, Htp Raymond, E. L. Rhodes, Guy Hood, S. V. Cortelyou, and Ray DePutron, Track in this year was successful as far as it participated but only two meets were taken part In and Ne braska winning both. The two inter collegiate meets were Doane which was defeated 57 to 51 and the inter collegiate field meet which was also won by Nebraska. The tennis association which was founded at Nebraska back in the '90s had met with a great deal of success and the membership had grown rap idly. In intercollegiate matches it was victorious over Kansas in both the singles and the doubles and de feated Missouri in the singles. Ne braska held the collegiate champion ship of three states in 1902 in the singles. This intercollegiate associa tion was made up of the three states, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri.

Locke Will Compete At Philadelphia in Annual Penn Relays Although not invited to the Kan sas Relays where he last year equalled the world's record in the 100 yard dash and was instrumental in setting a new world's half-mile relay record, Roland Locke is getting into shape to eciripclc in the annual Fc-nn Keiays at Philadelphia Saturday April 23. Locke has had a weird year. Not eligible for collegiate competition, he has found it difficult to adjust him self. Early in the season his devel opment was hampered by tonsilitis. As yet there haven't been enough consecutive days of fair track weath er for any runner to know what he can do. But despite all this, Locke is in shape to give an account of himself in any company. If there is one man that knows Locke, it is Henry F. "Indian" Schulte, veteran Nebraska track coach. And Schulte knows that if Locke gets warm, ho can beat any man in the country in the 100 and 220. Locke has really run, as he can run. once this year. He has only been really warmed up to run once this year. And the two are coincident. It was the riight he clipped the 100 in 9.9 seconds and didn't know he had been running.

States Teachers' Agency, 210 Templeton Bldg., Salt Lake City, Utah, ' SnmiiOT Wnrlr; A few positions still open in Nebraska and adjoining Locke is probably fn better shape than he was last year, if he only knew it. Early in the season he had trouble1 getting going just as he has had this year. In fact he was beaten at the Illinois Relays by one, Alder man of Michigan, who hasn't estab lished any great marks as a sprinter. The only difference between this year and last is that last year he had a long series of meets to get into shape in and chances to win in com petition that gave him confidence. This year his only important competi tion was against Barber at California. Barber is a fast enough runner that it's no disgrace to be beaten by him. Add to this the fact that Locke came out of a cold dressing room and didn't succeed in getting warm, on a day when two other Huskar sprinters nulled muscles, and it is realized that that defeat is no indication of what Locke is likely to do at the Penn Relays. Onlv one thing stands between Locke and a string of the greatest records the sprinting world has seen. That is himself. Locke is in shape to go. He has been disheartened by the events of the season. If he for gets them and runs to win as he did last year, with the confidence that he "is right" as he is, the Penn Relays will see the "world's fastest human", in his old time form.
