tirhrU I Si,
Husher hurdle twins . . .
There comes a time when every
man likes to sit back and deliver
a fevf of his rocking chair musings
on topics both pertinent and im
pertinent. Quite along the perti
nent line is a bit of discussion
about Ed Weir's run and jump
proteges, Bill Smutz and Ralph
King.
Smutz Is the veteran of the
combination and his name on the
roster of any race generally means
top flight competition. Newcomer
and apparently fine material in
the raw, is Ralph King. King is a
big, lanky chap who just keeps
plugging away and does that job
of plugging so well that he either
runs second to or beats fellow
Husker Smutz. . King has tallied
two firsts over SmuU in the last
two Husker meets.
It is our opinion that Ed Weir
must feel nice about this hurdle
situation when Smutz and King
are entered in the high and low
events. With a running combina
tion like that, the track mentor
and fans alike, feel that here is
one event that the Huskers are
sure of winning. You can count
on either one of the two to bust
the tape first against any com
petition that they might meet in
this part of the country.
From the looks of things, Willy
Smutz has it over King by a slight
margin as far as speed is con
cerned. This is given splendid sup
port by the fact that Smutz has
never been beaten in the low
hurdle event. This particular race
is one built more around speed
than jumping. King of the long
legs, on the other hand, finds his
calling in the high hurdle event
Nice to note about here is the
fact that both of these boys will
be back next year. Smutz is a
junior completing his second year
of competition while King Is fin
ishing his first year of competition

Husker nine
drop Kansas
tussel 4 to 3
A combination of errors and
screwy umpire decisions caused
the Husker baseball nine to drop
their game with Kansas, 4 to 3,
yesterday afternoon.
The Huskers took a 3 to 1 lead
early in the game but Old Sol
came into play his part when the
blinding glare of the sun in left
field caused errors of the Nebras
ka man at that post
Kansas sneaked in a run in the
fifth because of these fielding er
rors and the seventh inning saw
them in the lead. In the seventh,
the visiting runner on first base
was allowed to continue his home
ward course without returning to
touch base after the fly ball had
been caught. A bad Husker throw
from the field sent him in for the
winning Kansas score.
Ernie Swanson, who carried the
mound duties for the Huskers,
pitched tight- ball thruout the
game with the Kansas hits well
distributed over the nine innings.
Iowa State went down before
the Huskers Saturday afternoon.
It was the first win of the season
for the Huskers.

squad mentor Ed Weir has
coached.
Nebraska athletic officials an
nounced that the scarlet and
cream cindermen will travel east
next year to meet Army at West
Point, N. Y. on Saturday May 2.
Possibly Yale or Dartmouth or
other eastern schools may send
teams to the West Point meet to
make it triangular or quadrangu
lar competition. Other outstanding
teams which the Weirman will
meet next season are the Univer
sity of California Golden Bears,
the only team which has defeated
the Huskers this year, and prob
ably Minnesota and Wisconsin,
who may come to Lincoln next
spring for a triangular meet
similar to that held at Minneapolis
last month.
Nebraska will also compete in
the Kansas and Drake relays as
well as numerous duals.
