The mysterious trio of Husker
track men who haven't been com
peting seem to be the cause of
considerable speculation.
It's true that if Jack Benger
were in such terrible scholastic
trouble he would better be spend
ing his time studying, and not ap

mean points for the Huskers in
the conference meet. Ed Weir, tho,
eays he really is ineligible right
now, even tho Fred Ware yester
day morning seemed to believe
that Weir was simply saving him
to spring on the other Big Six foes
Saturday. Anyway, he's slated to
become eligible this week, and
should compete in the Kansas City
meet.
Vike Francis' absence from the
team has not been because of
"other interests," as one scribe In
timated, or because Ed Weir's
keeping him under cover, as Ware
said. He's just plain ineligible, be
cause he has an incomplete which
he hasnt been able to work off
yet. In all probability, he won't be
able to compete in the meet this
week end, but Vike says he'll have
it worked off at least "by the time
football season comes around next
falU"
ioyd Wright, co-champ last
ring in the conference hundred,
bnd runnerup in last winter 8 in
door 60, is also trying to get past
an incomplete before the week
end. Wright came out for practice
late, but he was late getting
started last winter, too, and it
didnt seem to hurt him a bit.
Harry Pitcaithley and Irv Yaffe
are on the roster of what looks
like far and away the best team
in the district A. A. U. basketball
meet at Beatrice. . .they, along
with Bill Kovanda, are on the Ne-
raska Athletic club team of Lin-
In, which also lists Dick Marvel,
Hastings college's star center and
Don Kristufek, former Doane
player who toured South America
last winter with an allstar A.A.U.
team... Doane players Sloey, Bai
ley, Jim Dutcher and Belka are
also on the team.

HusRers cooped up
fourth doy in a row
The Huskers worked out inside
again yesterday, as the muddy
condition of the south practice
field kept them confined to the !
cramped quarters of the east sta
dium for the fourth day in a row.
However, with the advent of
warm weather, the team will go
outside this afternoon for the frist
time this year, as the practice field
should be dried off considerably.
Same lineups.
Jones used the same lineups he
has been working with since drills
started as the gridders got in as
much work as could be accom
plished inside.
Edgar Haynes, lineman from
Curtis, who was carried with the
squad last year, checked out equip
ment this week, while Jerry Pro

his doctors.

A sentimental favorite in the

kept him out in front in high

Littler, however, will enter the
race as the favorite, to the extent
that there will be such a thing.

Kansas State is the favorite, be
cause of its dual record. The Wild
cats lost only to Lehigh University,
and were tied by Franklin and
Marshall Included among their
victims were Minnesota and Illi

strength, but has outstanding men
in five of the eight divisions. The

Reynard undefeated.
Leon Reynard, captain of the
Kn?as State team, is undefeated
in the 175-pound class in dual
meets. He won a close decision
over Dave Schwitters, Iowa State
sophomore, in the Kansas State
Iowa State dual in February.
Ray Stone and Howard Buck,
Iowa State, have each lost one
match this year. Stone lost to only
Dale Hanson, national collegiate

was tlocisioned by Levy, also of
Minnesota, for his only loss. Stone

Jack "Monk" Meyer, Omaha,
has been appointed senior manager
of the Huskers for the 1940 foot
ball season.
Meyer, in his fourth year in

Tractor engines have advanced

the fuel has progressed from ker

is the type used by most automo

use automobile engines. These are
a sharp contrast to the old

Ed Weir builds
board walk for
Husker speedster
Husker track coach Ed Weir is
taking no chances on letting the
newly constructed board track at
Kansas City throw his redheaded
pride and joy, "Red" Littler, off
his winning stride when he and
his team mates make their bid
for the Big Six indoor track
championship in the K. C. Mu
nicipal auditorium Friday night
Weir, who doesn't think the
boards will make a great deal of
difference except perhaps in the
shorter races, has been sending
the redhead down a hurriedly
constructed board walk the past
week, "just to let him get the feel
of the boards."
Ward Haylett, Kansas State
coach, though, thinks the boards
will be a great equalizer, and that
the track will make the meet a
tossup. It will be Nebraska's first
bid for honors on a board track
this year, and it will be the first
time the indoor meet has ever
been held on the boards. Previous
ly it has been contested on the
cinder track in Missouri's field
house. School teacher
in Punjab, India
gets Uni bulletin
Even tho his present school Is
in Moga, Punjab, India, a one
time Nebraska school superintend
ent still wants to receive Univer
sity of Nebraska bulletins on
farming and health.
A letter from Kennth H. Thomp
son, formerly superintendent of
schools at Broadwater and now in
India, has been received at the
University editorial office more
than a month and a half after it
was written. The cover had been
opened and now bears the seal
"Passed by censor" and the cen
sor's number.
The climate around Punjab, he
says, is similar to that in Ne
braska. The-soil is sandy; there
is much dry weather, some irri
gation, and wheat is the principal,
crop.
