Drake
Notre Dame Team Power
Tops Husker Weightmen
Though the University of Ne-l
braska two-man weight crew of
Howard Debus and Vic Schleich is
expected to score heavily' in indi
vidual events, Notre Dame is ex
pected to cop team honors in the
Drake Relays Friday and Satur
day. Notre Dame's star-studded track
team, winner of virtually every
midwestern meet it has entered
this year, will be present at the
Drake Relays, April 23 and 24.
Coach Elvin R. "Doc" Handy's
men won the Illinois Tech and
Purdue Relays and the Central
Collegiate conference meet without
trouble.
Take Tech Relays.
At Illinois Tech, the Fighting
Irish rolled up 61 points, while
their nearest competitor, Illinois,
cathered 29 points. The Irish
sank Chicago's Navy Pier, 94-10,
and Indiana, 76-28.
Ollie Hunter, middle distance
star, will be back to take a
crack at the two-mile field. At
last year's Relays the two miler
was defeated by Virgil Alston
of Miami University of Ohio.
The much-improved Notre Dame
distance ace should be a sure
bet to cop his specialty.
Relays
Friday
. . . Debus, Schleich
Jim Delaney, shotput artist,
was upset in last year's carnival.
Delaney set a new Notre Dame
mark at the Purdue Relays with
a toss of 53 ft. 4?s in. and will
be a heavy favorite this year de
spite the return of Mel Aussieker,
whose last year s toss was va ti,
8V4 in.
Four Mile Relay.
The Irish four-mile relay team,
composed of Ollie Hunter, Tony
Maloney, Frank Comfort! and tsui
Leonard, are the defending cham
pions in this run and only a great
upset can keep the foursome from
repeating. They cracked the Amer
ican indoor record at the Purdue
Relays, winning the run in 17:31.1
and clipping more than 18 seconds
from the old standard.
Highjumper Chuck Murphy,
who has jumped 6 ft. 6 in. in
practice, may surprise many and
upset the favorites, Pete Wat
kins of, Texas A. & M. and
Drake's Jerry Donovan.
Ensign John Weithoff, back in
school under navy directions, will
attempt to be one of the big three
in the polevault. Last year Weit
hoff entered this category, taking
third place.
. . . Prelims
Cornhuskcr tracksters divided
time Monday between condition
ing and viewing "form" movies
inside the new Stadium dressing
quarters.
"Our performance at Stillwater
was as expected spotty," said
Coach Ed Weir, "but we hope our
lads can get in enough work this
week to shape up for the Drake
Relays Saturday."
Weir indicated that the Husker
tracksters would departv for the
Des Moines meet Thursday noon.
Preliminaries are set for Friday
morning and afternoon.
Performance of Dean Kratz,
frosh middle-distance man, was
brieht Dot at Stillwater. Kratz
anr a 50.8 quarter, his fastest to
date, for third place then came
came back ten minutes later to
finish second in almost a dead
heat mile race. Kratz's time
(2:02 was the same as the win
nmg time.
Jim Brogan, distance pertormer;
Bob Bowles, 440 an: Paul Johrde,
two-miler, and Ki Eisenhart,
weighster, were Husker trackters
activated Montlay with the ROIU.
Whether the cindermen will be
allowed to compete has not yet
been settled.
Brogan Dubbed "Tough Luck"
Man , of Husker Cinder Squad
Any doubt to identity of the
original "hard luck man" in Corn
husker sport circles is herewith
answered.
He is Jim Brogan, Scarlet S80
performer. "Brog" worked harder
than any other distance man, with
the possible exception of Bobby
Ginn, during the 1941-42 Husker
campaign. He played "second
fiddle" to durable Mr. Ginn thru
out Brogan served notice during the
Indoor mile, where he romped in
with a bright second, that he was
approaching peak form. On the
outdoor cinders, the former Til
den protege continued to come
into his own.
Then comes the triangular with
Oklahoma and Oklahoma A. & M.
Brogan is quarantined with
scarlet fever. So the Tilden flyer
looked ahead to the Drake Relays
and the Big Six meet. Now he's
been activated by the ROTC
and future track participation, as
yet, is a doubtful measure.

Huskers Hit
New Trouble
University of Nebraska
track squad members (all five
of 'em) at Stillwater, Okla.,
Saturday morning, prior to the
triangular with the Aggies and
Oklahoma during the afternoon
decide'S to look over the school.
Zikmund, Schleich, Debus,
Hale and Kratz wandered in
one office building, evidently" a
men's dorm. They noticed upon
entrance that all occupants
were clothed in military garb.
"What are ycu doing In
here?" barked an officer from
one corner.
"Just looking around,"
grinned Schleich.
"Well, look around else
where, boys," returned the of
ficer. "This is a military re
servation and besides it is
quarantined for laryngitis!"
Needless to say, the explor
ing Cornhusker tracksters
made a hasty exit.

"A 1
A brief round of verbal repartee with University of Ne
braska track squad members today revealed that press ac
counts of the Sooner-Aggie-Cornhusker triangular Saturday
at Stillwater neglected to mention one of them the weather.
"No wonder Metcalf (A. & M.) ran that 100 in 9.5,
grinned Al Zikmund, Husker handyman. "He had a veritable
hurricane at his back. Same with Tate's 14-flat in the high
hurdles."
Chilly dampness of the day, plus a blustery cross wind,
kept the Debus-Sehleich marks below par. A scant 170-2 win
ning javelin toss by Debus reflects what a windy day does
to spear tosses. Vic Schleich 's shot mark of 47-11 was a i'ar cry
from his recent 51-foot tosses.
Dean Kratz, frosh distance star, gained plaudits from the
triangular audience for his strong comeback in the 880 a few
minutes after a hectic quartermile spin. Kratz became sick
after the quarter but refused to be scratched from the half.
He then ran practically a dead heat with Cary of Oklahoma
for first in a 2:02.6 halfmUe effort.
"We all thought Kratz had won," said Zikmund, "but
the announcer claimed Cary the winner. Cary's time must
have been the same as Dean's."
Big concern in the Husker camp today was the KOTO
activation which removes Don Bowles, quartermiler ; Ki Eisen
hart, weight man; Jim Brogan, distance dependable, and Faul
Johrde, two-miler, from future traveling squads.
We say "future traveling squads" because we have not
yet learned whether the Husker ROTC cinderites can even
obtain sanction to perform in home meets. Since the only
Husker "home" meet is the Big Six tourney, May 9, such
sanction will certainly be sought after.
lTovjsions or the action state that Husker military in
ductees" are to be given daily from 8 a. m. to 5 p in. to
"continue regular class routines." Afternoon class routine
of a number of tracksters constitutes a work on the Stadium
cinders. So the ROTC foursome still retains full opportunity
to train for special events.
From 3 p. m. Saturday to G p. m. Sunday has been desig
nated as "week-end leave" time. Weir intends to ship his
squad to Drake Belay way Thursday night, so that trip would
therefore include no ROTC tracksters. A proposed duel with
either Iowa State or K-State May 1, only other meet left prior
to the conference go, would be impossible for the Love Library
lads.
So goes the army, so went the Cornhusker track team!

Eight Intramural so ft ball

dwindled to a single match as a
result of the sudden ROTC evacu

phoned into the intramural office
