season with the discus. Ed Wib
bels. crack platter tosser who has
had to stay out of competition for
a year due to an injury to his
eyes stood by Ray's side offering
advice and instruction. Prochaska
took just eight practice throws.
On those tries the discus nailed
from 147 feet to a little over 153
feet. That effort was Ray's maxi
mum performance of the year
with the discus.
Morris gets in shape.
Don Morris, just beginning to
round into shape again after a cut
foot put him out of competition at
the beginning of the indoor track
season, ran 100 yards in exactly
10 seconds flat. On a wet track
and against the wind Morris ran
this century, his best since he
came to Nebraska.
Bill Smutz ran the 440 in a
time of 53 seconds. His work in
the quarter-mile indicates that
Weir may be planning to use him
in a mile relay at Minneapolis.

Weir still worries about the

were lost to the squad. He nays
he's worried about the triangular
with Minnesota and Wisconsin
Saturday, but more likely he's
thinking ahead to the dual with
Missouri a week from Saturday
and to the Big Six meet which is
not far off.
Despite injuries, the Scarlet and

is lacking in depth, in second and

"My Old Kentucky Home" is
sounded on the bugle, the horses
come trotting out, they're taken
to the barrier, no-one breaks
away, now they are all lined up,
and THEY'RE OFF!
Yes, tomorrow sees the running
of the greatest horse race in this
country, the 67th annual Kentucky
Derby. This mint-julep classic is
expected to bring an influx of
100.000 into Louisville this week
end taxing hotels and establish
ments serving food and drink.
For the blue grass classic of
the sport of kings a field of 11
is expected to start. Horses which
probably will go to the post Sat
urday are Our Boots, Porter's Cap,
Whirlaway, Staretor, Spain, Lit
tle Beans, Robert Morris, Dispose,
Market Wise, Blue Pair, and Val
dina Paul.
Early odds on the nags made
Porter's Cap and Our Boots fa
vorites at 2-1. Whirlaway and Blue
Pair followed with 5 and 8 to I.
Whirlaway was an early season
heavy favorite but was taken in
his last two outings by Our Boots
and by Blue Pair. Whirly is un
doubtedly one of the fastest horses
running this season. His downfall
is that he is so speedy that he can
not make a fast turn and turns
out wide losing precious time and
distance. In the Derby Whirlaway
win nave unurr nun a nurr wihj
has never ridden him in competi
tion before.
His mount will he Eddie Arcaro,
one of the country's best and most
experienced riders. Eddie may oe
able to lick this tendency to run
wide on the turns and if he does
his mount should pound home to
win the race of the year.
If there's even a slight sprinkle
between now and post-time Por
ter's Cap will come forward as
the certain favorite. A good mud
der. the CaD should be a con
tender inry weather for he has
traveledlhe mile and a quarter
Derby tuSnce in 2:04 4-5 whivh
is better ti?l than Lawrin. Gal
lahadion. Gallant Fox, Omaha and
many other horses made in win
ning the Derby.
Our Boots and Blue Pair must
certainly be among those heavily
waigered upon for they have both
taken Whirly. Blue Pair did this
in the Derby trial while suffering
from a popped splint and a sad
dle burn.
Important as the rider is to win
ning a horse race. Little Beans and
Staretor can't be eliminated from
the dangerous challengers. Beans
will have Don Meade, the top rider
of 1940 up on him and Staretor
will' carry wise old George Wooif.
I can't predict a winner, but I'd
probably be safe in naming the
horse that will trail in last: the one
I bet on.

pioneering research started nearly
25 years ago at the University of
Illnois. thousands of American
homes are heated more efficiently
and economically today. The re-
search is being increased to cover
year-round home air-conditioning.
Study of warm-air heating has
