name in neon light across the na
tion's track horizon here tonight
in the tenth annual Butler Relays.
Living up to advance hullabaloo
as Uncle Sam's premier collegiate

acclaim from the gallery when he
cleared 14-1 !4 to set a new record.

16-pound ball 49 feet 1 V4 inches to
finish second only to Notre Dame's

Husker Edsel Wibbels with a 48
flVi toss.

landed a third berth in a blanket
60 yard dash which saw a single
foot separate the first three run
ners. Howard Debus hoisted his
195-pound frame over the crossbar
at 13-6 for a fourth place tie.
Ed Weir's two-mile relay team
finished fourth. Prairie View's

Gophers Start
Title Defense
Spring Practice Session
Begins for 75 Squadmen
University of Minnesota's foot
ball team will begin to defend its
title March 30, for that is the
opening date of spring practice,
beginning in the Field House and
continuing outdoors when weather
clears.
Led by 23 xeturnine lettermen.
about 75 first stringers, reserves
and freshmen will prepare for
what appears to be a heavier-than-
usual schedule next fall. There
may be additions of military
service schools to the regular
eight game schedule.
No Predictions.
Altho the Gopher coaches make
no pre-season predictions, the
number of returning players and
promising sophomores for 1942 in
dicates a team with talent con
centrated in the backfield.
Returning for backfield duties
are such veterans as Bill Daley
and Mike Welch, fullbacks; War-
rent Flunkett, quarterback; and
Bill Garnaas, Bud Higgins, Gene
Bierhaus, Herman Frickey and Joe
Lauterbach, halfbacks. While
most of those who made up ttie
rugged Minnesota first-string line
last year are gone, there are
enough veterans to form the nuc
leus of a forward wall. Captain
Dick Wildung, Paul Mitchell and
Manly Wilcox are tackle pros
pects. Guards were the hardest
hit by graduation which means
that some tackles probably will be
converted to guards.
Again, Minnesota will have
strong end replacements. Cliff
Anderson, Bill Baumgartner, Herb
Hein, Joe Hirscher and John Mul
ready have all seen action at this
position.
Of the freshmen who have
worked out since last fall with
Dal Ward, freshman roach, such
men as Red Williams, Joe Silovich,
Bob Rary, Dick Luckemeyer, Fred
Baston and Jim Jewett stand
ready to compete for varsity posts.

The season finished last week

the season's record was not too
impressive in the matter of wins
and losses, it was successful in
view of the number of performers
receiving instruction in the sport.

best body building sports in the
book, it . has taken on new im

Lincoln Central
Captures Cage
Championship
By Gene Sherman.
McArthur still holds out! Long
Don, usually high point man for
Lincoln Central, tallied 14 points
to lead his mates to the state
championship by defeating North
east 35-27.
On top all the way, Central's
lead was never seriously threa
tened altho Northeast managed to
stay very much in the ballgame.
Both teams, after playing tight de
fensive ball the first half,
switched to a wide open style dur
ing the last stanza. With a ten
point total to his credit, Bill Laub
was outstanding for the losers.
Wayne Beats Sidney.
Clowned top team in class "B"
last night was Wayne high school
as they won over Sidney 26-19.
Sidney managed to make it any
body's ball game for three quar
ters until the smoother Wayne
outfit, led by Duke Derry, put
the game on ice in the final frame.
High scorer for the losers was
long shot artist Bowman.
Class "C" winner was Culbert
son by virtue of a 27-22 victory
over College View. Trailing 14-8
at the half, Culbertson rallied to
gain a third quarter lead of 18-17.
Warren Eisenharth's three baskets
in the closing minutes cinched the
title for Culbertson. Paul Hensen's
13 points was best for College
View.
Melvin Larsen with 22 points led
Hampton to the Class "D" cham
pionship. He and his mates de
feated Sunflower 42-26.
