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.
