THE NEBRASKAN Noted UN Ex-Coacli Is Dead The grand old man of the Uni versity of Nebraska, Henry Frank Schulte, famed as a track and football coach at UN passed away Wednesday morning after six years of illness. "Pop" Schulte came to the university in 1919 to take over track and football men toring and grew to far-heralded heights in both fields. For 19 years he served the university in these coaching capacities. Born near St. Louis in 1878, the grand old man started his athletic career at the Smith academy in St. Louis starring on the academy team. From the academy he moved to Washington university where he continued his playing career, but still not contented, he went on to the University of Michigan where he spent lour seasons playing guard on Field ing .Yost's "point a minute" team and received All-American honors while there. Michigan State was the first coaching site of Schulte where he took over football, baseball, and track teams. Leaving the coach ing profession for a short time, the famed coach edited a mag azine at Ann Arbor, Mich., for two years following which he turned back to the coaching game and took over athletics at Cape Girardeau state colelge in Mis souri. In 1913 he returned to Michigan as an assistant to the great Yost. N Staying at Michigan as assist ant football and track coach for only five years, Schulte had gained a middleaged status at the time he came to the University of Nebraska in 1919. For the first two years of his career here he was head football coach but then another head was named and he continued as line coach develop ing the most famous lines in Husker history. He retained his track duties during this time, also. It was in 1921 that Schulte's first track team met with its first league crown. In the intervening years before his retirement in 1938 the grand old man produced ten outdoor league titles and nine indoor championships.. Most fa mous of his proteges was Roland "The Oipper" Locke, a world rec ord setter in the dashes. The success attained at the uni versity won him a place on the coaching staff for the 1923 Olym pics at Amsterdam and afterward he loured European nations giv ing instruction to both coaches and athletes. 1929 saw the great figure of UN sports returning to Europe at the request of Ger many, France and England to teach physical education instruc tors vital points of training for track. Hiii offices in national coach ing organizations and writer of many track and field guide books were other attainments of the great coach. High school coaches remain in debted to him for establishing the state wide Li.'h school scholar ship system. This was only a slight showing of the interest the grand old man held fur high school athletes as he was con stantly concerned with them.
