Evolution of Husker Shot Putters - Dale to Rhea

I pteiadlitf its
hincy scmult:
' "N& event pays a greater pre
mium on intelligent, long: eeason
work than does the shot," states
Henry F. Schulte, who this reason
will complete his twelfth year as
head track coach at the University
cf Nebraska.
"The shot putter needs to have
natural strength, great speed, sup
pleness and rhythm. That's why
Hugh Rhea is one of the greatest
competitors in the intercollegiate
track and field world today.
"The climatic conditions in this
section of the country are not
favorable to track," Schulte con
tinued," the changeable weather
affects weight men as well as the
sprinters.
'Shot putters, however, cannot
put an alibi on the weather. They
make a lot of other mistakes. So
many beginners start from the
back of the circle too sharply,
hang in the middle of the ring or
strain instead of relaxing before
the explosion of the put getting
tbe shoulder reverse too easily and
shooting the arm too soon.
The biggest fault of all is the
fact that most young shot putters
imagine that the foot reverse is
part of the putting action. Actually
it has nothing to do with the put.
It is the stopping of the action en
tirely, and has no more to do with
the put than tbe fall to the pit has
to do with pole vaulting. The shot
has left the hand long before the
driving foot approaches the toe
board."
Increases In Interest.
Tbe shot from a spectators'
standpoint, has increased in popu
larity for two reasons first be
cause the title is constantly chang
ing hands and second, because of
certain rivalries existing in the
past five or six years.
For example there was the
three-cornered duel between Doss
Richerson, Missouri; Rinefort,
Grinnell and Walter "Big Ox"
Krelmelmever, Nebraska that was
not definitely settled until the 1926
Valley meet.
Then came Howell and Rider of
Oklahoma. Brown of Missouri and
Ashburn and Hurd of Nebraska
and lastly the intense rivalry be
tween Jarring Jim Bausch of Kan
sas and Hugh Rhea of Nebraska.
Nebraska's first iron ball heaver
of note was "Doc" Flippin. famous
colored athlete of the late 90's.
He had a mark of n round 40
feet that stood for years. The
best of the more recent specialists,
however, was Fred Dale, one of the
first men to performs under Schul
te's wing in the 1919 and 1920 sea
sons. Dale held the varsity mark for
several seasons with a heave of
44 feet, 9 1-2 inches. Later on Sed
Hartman. Moulton and "Hank"
Bassett jumped to the front and
were the Husker entries in the
strongman art.
One of Hartman's best heaves
was his putt in the 1924 dual meet
with the Kansas Aggits when he
won the event with a mark of 42
feet, 8 1-2 in. Moulton averagsd
close to 41 feet and Bassett had
one mark of 41 feet. 6 inches that
placed him high in tbe 1924 dual
with Kansas.
Breaks Varsity Mark.
Then came Kreimelmeyer and

Molzen. The Ox was consistently
better than 41 feet; several times
registering between 44 at 45 feet.
His best mark was in the 1926
Missouri Valley when his heave of
45 feet, 9 inches broke the existing
varsity mark and placed him next
to Richardson for a second place
in the conference reckoning.
Cliff Ashbvrn has several marks
better than 43 feet and one of his
best was his put cf 1 feet, 1 inch
against Drake. C" t Hurd, a
weight man with gat possibili
ties, dropped out of school, bvt be
fore his brief career came to a
close he had startled track fans
wtih his mark of 44 feet. 3 3-8
inches established in a dual with
the Colorado Aggies in 1927.
That gets us down to Rhea, the
Arlington wizard, present varsity
titlcholder. Big Six favorite and
one of the leading candidates for
the 1932 United Sttaes Olympic
team.
Last year Rhea got over the 50
foot mark and fought all season
with Jim Bausch for first place
honors in the various college invi
tation meets.
At Austin. Texas, three weeks
ago he shoved the ball 51 feet,
2 1-8 inches, establishing a new
Texas relay mark. The following
day at Houston he bettered the
Rice reley in the same event by
4 feet. 9 inches with a heave of
50 feet, 10 inches.
Rhea is successful because he
has made a concentrated study of
the event; because he trains care
fully and because he has the nat
ural physical qualifications to
make him a great competitor.

when Ray Dunson, Sooner high

competitors including the famous
McGinnis. of Wisconsin and Alli
son of Iowa. However the little
Creek Indian flattened too many
hurdles and lost both title and
trophy.
Arthur Cox. of Grandfield, Okla

is the first Sooner to gather a
championship at the Kansas carn
ival. In 192.r he broke the meet
record in the javelin with a mark
of 197 feet 6 1-4 inches. The fol
lowing April he was second to
John Kuck while 190, pound Frank
Potts, Bennie Owen's powerful
halfback, cleared 12 feet 11 7-8
inches to earn a triple tie for first
in the pole -ault with Wirsig, Ne
braska, and Carter, Kansas State.
Dunson Unlucky in 1927.
Dunson's misfortune occured in
1927. That year the Sooner four
mile relay quartet of Russell Car
son, Harold Keith, Jack Sides and
Les Niblick finished third to II-1
linois and the Oregon Aggies
while Billy Mullins grabbed off a
fourth in the broad jump.
The 1928 meet saw the finest
Sooner showing of Kansas relay
history. In raw wintry weather
Coach John Jacobs' great team
won five championships, furnished
the meet s only record-breakers
and with a total of 28 1-2 points
decisively outpointed the entire

Medley Team Wins in 1928.
It was that season that Coach
Jacob's all-victorious Sooner med
ley relay quartet of John Hewitt
Heston Heald, Russell Carson and
Harold Keith ran off from the
field, distancing its nearest com
petitor by 150 yards to establish a
new record. Never before or since
has a Sooner relay team of any
kind won a Kansas relay title.
In 1929 Oklahoma scored H'i
points at the Lawrence carnival.
Tom Churchill set his university
record of 7422.2S46 to retain his
decathlon championship against
"Buster" Charles, sensational Has
kell Indian. Parker Shelby tied
for first in tbe high jump and
Howell took second in the shot and
discus to Beattie. Colorado Aggie.
Last season witnessed a Sooner
performance that was not up to
par. Captain Shelby was relegated
to second place in the high jump
when Shaw, of Wisconsin, got off
a beautiful leap of 6 feet 6 3-16
inches. The Oklahoma medley
quartet was second to Marquette's
great quartet, Frank Abbott, Bruce
Davidson, Warren Moore and Glen
Dawson forming its personnel.
Eight Kansas relay carnivals
have gon down into history since
the meet was founded in 1923. In
each of them a Sooner team has
competed.

NORMAN, Ok la. Overwhelm
ing tbe Colorado Aggies 18 to n.
and 21 to 0, the Sooner polo four,
coached by Capt. J. J. Waters,
proved it has one of the most pow'
erful quartets in tbe southwest al
though victory over the University
or Missouri here Saturday and
Monday will give greater credence
to this statement, as the Tigers,
two days earlier, trounced the Col
orado team 15 to 2 and 16 to 1.
Coach Waters was especially
pleased with tbe performance of
Clyde Watts, his new No. 1, who
made eight goals the first game,
riding and stroking as though he
had played tbe position ail his life.
