From the K-St&te track meet:
The hoss racing profession has
its "mudders," and yesterday, Ed
Weir's track team showed up with
one in the form of Harold Brooks.
Brooks turned in the day's best
time yesterday when he ran thru
a quagmire-like track to win the
mile in 4:22.8, and that, people, is
no mean performance. The puddles
didn't even seem to bother the
Husker runner in the mile. Last
Saturday, his time was eight sec
onds slower, altho he was bucking
a hard wind in the backstretch.
Big scare of the meet concerned
Brooks, too. He was running sec
ond on the last quarter of the half
mile, when he stumbled and
dropped out of the race, limping.
It was only a heel bruise, though,
and the Gothenburg runner came
back to run in the relay.
And or good predictions or
something: How about Ed Weir's
picking the final score for the
meet to be 62-60 in 14 events? He
missed on some of his picks, but
they balanced up right.
Funniest race of the day was
the 440. "Red" Littler was run
ning in it, and had the hundred
coming up immediately after that,
so wasn't extending himself too
hard. At the same time he was
trying to bring Millard Cluck in
for at least a place in the event,
although Cluck didn't know it un
til after the race. Littler would
hang back with the pack, then
spurt out, then drop back, then
spurt out. On the homestretch he
got out ahead to what looked like
easy victory, and then eased up.
But he just about didn't win. be
cause Robinson of K-State came
up with a rush, and lacked about
a foot of beating Littler. Red's
time was 53.5 seconds, exactly five
seconds under his time Saturday.
Promise
(Continued from page 1.)
suits would be perfectly fair.
Ed MacDonald, bizad senior:
I think that action in sucii cases
is in need of modification rather
than complete abolishment. Re
quirements for bringing suits to
court should be made stricter.
Sometimes there is justification
for suit. There is no doubt, tho,
that it should be made harder for
women to collect in breach of
promise cases.
Gwen Hurley, ag college senior:
Breach of promise has been such
an "honorable" institution for such
a long time, it'd be a shame to
rhange it and throw it out now.
Let's keep it.
Cari Cleveland, arts and sciences
senior.
Yes, the abolishment would be
fair to women... and MORE fair
to men.
George Frischer, Innocent and
managing editor Awgwan.
Yes, the abolishment is fair to
women. Why should men be held
to their promises when women
aren't?
Jo Duree, arts and science sopho
more. I cant answer that, but the
abolishment will cam i more wom
en to have to work ior a living.
Melvin Plum, engineering junior.
Too many undeserving women
take advantage of the leniency of
breach of promise suits, but, still,
if men know that they may be
sued for breach of promise tlicy
aren't likely to make rash prom
ises to women. . .they'll be more
conservative in their courting, in
the things they say and promise.
All in all, I think that the abolish
ment of breach of promise suits
Is fair to women.
John Clark, engineering freshman.
You bet your boots it's fair to
women.
Bonnie Wennersten, bizad fresh
man. I think the abolishment would
te fair to women. Breach of prom
ise suits are kinda' silly anyway;
nd too many women take ad
vantage of them,
braska and Kansas State have
been trvinr to ret together for a
track meet. Postponements have
been the rule on two previous oc
casions due to inclement weather.
Coaches Ward Hayl;tt of Ag
ties and Ed Weir of the Huskers
finally decided that rain or shine,
the time was to be Tuesday for
the long awaited meet.
And rain it did yesterday. But
the track meet still went on. The
final outcome found the Huskers
out in front by a score of 62-60.
The dual meet on the cinder
paths was nearly a swimming
meet. The jumps were held on
the indoor oval. And the track
was covered in parts with rxmds
of water.
Javelin decider.
As for the meet itself, the final
reckoning was not determined un
til the last event the javelin
inrow. uerore the spear toss, the
Aggies had a one point lead, 57-56.
K-State had one man in the
javelin and a first place would
have given them the meet. As it
was, Edsel Wibbels came up with
a surprise first with a toss of 196
feet. Mvis McCutcheon of the Ag
gies placed second. Bus Knight
added a third place that was a fi
nal clincher point on the meet.
Only 14 events were run off. the
220 low hurdles was scratched be
cause of the treacherous condition
of the track which made footing
slippery.
In the relay, Kansas State took
the event by a wide margin. How
ever, both teams were guilty of
fouls in stepping over the ex
change of baton Tine. This fact
would throw the relay out of the
final summaries technically. But
in counting the relay as a victory
for the Aggies, the meet came out
with a 62-60 score.
Nebraska came up with nine
first places while Kansas State led
in five events. Clean sweeps were
won by the Aggies in the half mile
and broad jump. Nebraska got a
clean sweep in the vault. In the
shot put. State got first and sec
ond, while Nebraska got first and
second in the discus and a first
and tie for second in the high
jump.
Littler wins three firsts.
Gene "The Redhead" Littler
captured three first places to be
the individual star of .the meet.
His victories came in the 100, 220,
and 440 yard dashes.
Other outstanding performances
were turned in by Harold Brooks
with a 4:22.8 mile; Bob Kahler
taking the high jump with a leap
of six feet even; Ray Prochaska
with 142 feet in the discus, and
Elmer "One Man Cang" Hackney
with 51 feet in the shot.
Other first places were won by
Kelly of Kansas State in the two
mile, Bill Smutz in the 120 yard
high hurdles, Jensen of the Ag
gies in the broad jump. Harold
Hunt in the vault, and Newcomer
of K-State in the 880 run.
Herb Crote was still on the ail
ing list and did not compete as
neither did Lloyd Wright and
Maynurd Swartz. Despite the slow
track, the times and fcld marks
turned in were still creditable per
formances. Summaries:

played on university diamonds,
except the first round encounter
between Creighton Prep and Wis
ner, which is slated for Thursday
at Muny. Class B games not held
on the Husker diamonds will be
played at Muny, while C teams
will use the frosh, Muny, Lincoln
High and Ag diamonds.

Knight, Petsch, Thompson
in last year as quarterbacks
Biff Jones has no quarterback
worries for 1940, what with Bus
Knight and Roy Petsch, regulars
last fall back, along with Theos
Thompson, who will be returning
for his last year.
Knight and Petsch are all that
a coach could ask, as both of them
possess all the traits of a good
field general. Both are slashing
blockers, strong defensive men,
and good strategists. Petsch, a
pass catcher of no mean ability,
caught the two touchdown passes
which beat Oklahoma last year.
Knight, a triple threater his
first year, can be called upon to
do a tailback's duties, if neces
sary. Thompson, Knight's team
mate at Jackson high, can be
counted on to back up the other
two men in good shape, although
he is rather light for the heavy du
ties of a blocking back in the
Jones style of play.
However, 1941 is a different
story, since Knight, Petsch and
Thompson are all seniors. Jones
may give his new men a chance
to show their wares.
Fred Metheny, who quarter
backed Lincoln High to a state
championship two years ago, was
used frequently during spring
practice. He weighs only 160, and
although he showed up well as a
blocker and defensive man, may
need another year of seasoning.
Bob Cooper, ex-Omaha North
flash, whose prep school career
was hindered by injuries, is a
frosh possibility, along with Ron
ald Rebal, Plattsmouth.
