By June Bierbower.
Now for some more looking to
next year, in a track sort of a way.
It's almost too pood to be true, be
cause even if the Huskers didn't
have a single freshman coming up,
they would be hands-down favorite
to win the 1941 track pennant,
what with not a one of their 58.1
points being lost thru graduation
of a trackman.
To aid this year's sophomores
and juniors, the standouts among
whom were necessarily overwork
ed because of lack of numbers, will
be some extra-snappy looking
frosh.
To look at the hurdles, for in
stance. Bill Smutz and Bob Kahler
are both back, but ready to go next
spring, too, will be Ralph King and
Clyde Taylor, who fought it out
for state high school supremacy
last year, and who have been look
ing very, very good for the year
lings this spring.
Then there is a sprinter, Jack
Benger, who was ineligible this
spring. Not only can he sprint.
Dut ne Droaa jumps arouna
feet (winning jump in this year's
Big Six meet was 22-6), and high
jumps six feet. Which brings up
the fact that Taylor has cleared
six feet in the high jump. Benger
will be a big help to Red Littler.
What a sprint crew that will be, if
Lloyd Wright makes a comeback
next spring Littler, Benger,
Wright and Abel not so bad, my
hearties!
Don Morris, the ScottsLluff
sprint champion of last spring, has
been converted into a quarter
miler. A pretty fair relay team
could be picked up, then, at least
for the relay meets, with Littler
Morris and Warren Radtke, if
Radtke is back next year:
Then, there is one of John Bent
ley's beloved Lilliputians, in the
form of Bob Gain. The little Mad
ison runner has run both the mile
and the half mile faster than any
Husker frosh, and has come very
near to the varsity record in the
mile. He also has turned the 2-
mile in close to 9:40, and with him
to help out Brooks, It m?vis points
and points for the Huskers.
As for weightmcn -we can't
think of any javelin or discus men
but, too, we can't see that they're
orely needed. Ftanci3 and V.'ib
bcls, who placed in the Big Six
meet, will be back in the shot
along with Rohn and Prochaska,
in addition to two new griddcr

NU's league holds
advantage in eleven
of fifteen events
In making a comparison of the
track and field teams of the Big
Six conference, in which the Uni
versity of Nebraska has emerged
victorious in the last two years,
with the various institutions of
the Big Seven conference the
Huskers hold quite a convincing
margin over the best athletes the
mountain states, and Colorado in
particular, have to order. Last
Saturday at the same tirrtfe the
Huskers were winning the Big Six
title, the members of the Big
Seven were competing against
each other at Boulder, and Colo
rado won. Comparison of the fig
ures made last week between the
Big Six and Big Seven is as fol

corely handicapped the Lincoln
meet. In four events won by
Huskers, the 440 pole vault, dis

better than those of the Big Seven.
