Four Men Named by Weir;
Kratz Best Bet for Scarlet
A four man squad of UN track
men left for Des Moines and Sat
urday's Drake Relays early this
morning:, facing- prospects which
Coach Ed Weir called "impossible
to predict."
Dean Kratz. quaitermiler; Buzz
Hollins, weightmsn! Norvall Bar
ker, hurdler, and Dick Miller were
the four men accompanying Weir.
Kratz Husker Hope.
Kratz.. invited to compete in the
special 440 yard dash, will carry
the brunt of Husker hopes in the
Dos Moines carnival. With times
under 50 seconds to his credit,
Kratz should make a grood show
ing in the special quarter mile
event, which is being run off this
year in place of the customary 440
yard low hurdles.
Prospects of the other UN en
tries are much harder to foretell.
Weir, before yesterday afternoon's
light workout, emphasized that
the Drake meet is particularly
tough to forecast this year "The
great number of r.aval trainee en
trants complicates the situation,"
the Husker mentor declared. "It's
impossible to eel an accurate
check on these boys, or a oUier
of the entrants, for that matter."
Head Home Saturday.
Bad weather conditions which
have prevailed ovtr most of the
country make t respects for the
meet even harder to predict. Weir
pointed out. "Rain and chilly
weather have ht.W track squads
indoors and kept coaches from
getting any accurate check on
their boys in outdoor perform
ance," said Weir. "This further
complicates Saturday's prospects."

Gopher Naval
Swim Course
Draws Praise
More than 2,400 United States
Nivr enlisted men and additional
hundreds of NROTC and V-12 sail
ors have taken swimming train
ing in University of Minnesota
nnoLs in a nroeram which Chief
Specialist Harold J. Boyer says is
the best in the United stales.
Rover conducts the courses for the
machinists and electricians mates.
"Both the splendid facilities for
swimming: in Cooke Hall and the
general tempo and swing of the
program make the Minnesota
training outstanding," he said."
Three Objectives.
He finds that about 23 percent
of the "ratings" can not swim
when they enter the course. All
learn before they leave it, that be
ing a Navy requirement. Among
the NROTC and V-12 contingents,
most of them college men, we per
centage of non-swimmers is con
siderably lower, possibly nine or
ten percent.
Objectives of the course are
three, said Boyer first, of course,
to learn to swim if the man can
not; second, to learn to swim well
enough so that the sailor could be
of help to a companion in tne wa
ter; and last, special military
swimming, such aa swimming un
der water to escape surface
flames, the use of nets for going
overside and the like.
Men are also taught to float if
they can possibly learn. One main
ohiective of swimmine in the Navy
is to stay afloat, if one is piungea
- - - -
into Die sea, until neip arrives.
Prof. Aue-ust C. Krev has been
made chairman of the University
of Minnesota department of his
tory, succeeding the late Dr. tes
ter B. Shippee.
