Trackmen
Prepare
For Meet
With a triangular meet involv
ing the Huskers, Oklahoma and
Kansas State slated for the indoor
track under the east stadium on
Feb. 19, 16 UN trackmen are
working out nightly under the
supervision of Coach Ed Weir.
Weir Is pleased with the turnout
thus far but feels that there are
Other boys in school who intend
to come out but are delaying till
after finals. These fellows should
report at once, Ed feels, since
they will hardly have time to
round into shape if they turn out
as late as Feb. 1.
Hollins Takes On Weights
Cheering news to Weir is word
that big Buzz Hollins, center on
the Husker cage squad, intends to
double-up on his athletic chores
and perform as a weight man on
the cinder team. Hollins, Valley
strong boy, will give the Scarlet
badly needed strength in the
weight, events. The work of Nor
val Barker, speedy timber topper,
and word that La Verne Curry,
quarter miler, and Dick Miller,
Fairbury pole vaulter, are regis
tering for the second semester fur
ther brightens cinder squad hopes.
Barker promises to develop into a
real point getter, and Weir ex
pects equally good work from
Curry and Miller, who has several
12-foot vaults to his credit.
Boys checking out equipment
thus far are Dean Kratz, Norval
Barker, Jack Well, Carroll Lou
don, George Johnson, Kenneth
Veon, Ed Smith, James L. War
ner, Frank Mech, Richard Petty,
Lyle Kops, Paul Hanson, Kenneth
Rivvett, Ted Treece, Kent Kratz,
and Bill Stewart.
Hospital . . .
(Continued from page 1.)
A money consideration of $5,000
a year for the 99 year period is
provided for in the lease. How
ever, as stated in the lease, the
principal consideration involved is
the mutual benefit which will ac
crue to the parties to the lease.
A children's memorial hospital is
to be built upon the leased prem
ises, which is a part of the campus
of the university college of medi-j
cine in Omaha, as soon as may
be possible at a minimum cost
with equipment of not less than
1200,000.
Used for Education.
This location of the hospital will
be of great value and assistance
to the college of medicine in the
teaching and advancing of medical
education and in addition will as
sist in providing facilities for the
medical and surgical care of chil
dren. Provided for in the lease is that
the hospital will be maintained at
the expense of the corporation
which is building the Children's
Memorial hospital and that at the
termination of the lease or any
extension thereof, all permanent
buildings, improvements, equip
ment and furniture become the
property of the board of regents.
Boucher Praises Plan.
Chancellor C. S. Boucher said:
"The Children's Memorial hospital
will be a magnificent agency for
the conservation and development
of society's greatest assets its

urgent need for such an agency
in Nebraska. The members of the
board of regents and of the board
of directors of the Children's Me
morial hospital have shown great
wisdom and statesmanship in ar
ranging an affiliation and close
operating relationship that will be
of great value to both institutions
in rendering public service in the
immediate future and for genera
tions to come.
"There are many instances of
such affiliations of long standing
between memorial hospitals and
university schools of medicine. Ex
perience has shown that in each
instance each of the affiliating in
stitutions has obtained increased
advantages and has been able to
give better service than could
otherwise have been possible ex
cept by the expenditure of greater
sums of money for buildings,
equipment and operation. The pa
tients, the professional staffs, the
medical students and the public
will all benefit materially by the
affiliation of the two institutions
that has been arranged thru their
controlling boards."

from Italian skies and helped se
cure the Salerno beach-head for
the Fifth Army.
It was in this air-fighting over
Salerno that Dale knocked down
two Focke-Wulfe's on his most
successful single mission. Swarmed
by nine German planes as he pulled
up from a successful dive-bombing
of German installations, he
knocked down two of them,
crippled a third, then high-tailed
it for home. "When I discovered
that I had lost my squadron-mates
and was fighting all those Hein
ies alone," says Dale in telling of
the dog-fight, "I thought I'd bet
ter get out of there, and quick."
Bags Messerschmitt.
Extremely modest, Dale is re
luctant to talk of his battle expe
riences, such as his victory over
a Messerschmitt in a scrap north
of Naples. After considerable
prompting, Dale revealed that in
this battle he shot the Messer
schmitt off the tail of one of hip
squadron-mates. "We were scat
tered all over the sRy after bomb
ing our target and one of our boys
didn't see this M.E. coming up be
hind him, so I moved in and shot
the German down" is the modest
way Dale puts it. His fourth vic
tim was a German observation
plane, shot down after the bitter
fighting at Salerno.
At Messina in the Sicilian cam
paign, Lt. Garrels was part of a
flight which sank an enemy
cruiser, two destroyers, and sev
eral merchant ships. On another
mission, this one off the Italian
coast, he and three companions
sank five torpedo boats and an
ammunition ship, with the ex
Husker athlete accounting for two
of the torpedo boat3 with his ac
curate strafing. Another outstand
ing mission in which Dale took
part was the knocking out of tho
German high command's head
quarters at Salerno.
Salerno Fighting Tough.
"The fighting at. Salerno was
i-eally rugged, the hardest going I
ran into," said Dale. "The German
lines were only half a mile from
our air-field on the beach, and
every time we took off or landed,
we were dead ducks for the Ger
man ack-ack batteries.'' On on?
occasion Dale and his squad-mates
stopped a German tank attack less
than half a mile from their field.
At the university, Dale ma
jored in Business Administration,
receiving his degree in June of
'41. He was a member of confer
ence championship track squads vt
'38, '39, and '40, and ran on the
cposs-country team which copped
the Big Six crown in the fall of
'40. After his graduation, he went
to California to work, enlisting in
the Army Air Corps in August of
1941. Called in December, he took
his flight training in Texas, was
sent over-seas in time to "get
bonfbed at the end of the Tunisian
campaign." Then followed his out
standing action in Sicily and Italy
Lt. Garrels reports to Santa
Monica, California about February

thrashing of their strong rivals
from Oklahoma university last

further along the road to national
honors. On their recent eastern

decision to the powerful Norman
