When rumors fly high enough that they begin
to verge on half truth, sometimes thev anoear in
print.
One of the most widely circulated rumors is
concerned with track coach Jerry Lee and his
speculated departure from the University athletic
scene.
This writer talked with Coach Lee several days
! before the first report of possible departure ap
peared in print (in a Lincoln newspaper) and as
ae wisnea nommg saia, oecued to target ahout it.
The issue now appears to be in the open.
For background: Reports cave it that Lee is
seriously contemplating returning to Grand Island
where be was bead football and track coach, athletic director for the
high school and also supervisor for the grade school athletic program.
Lee was one of the most respected high school coaches in the state
and received a "Coach of the Year" award.
At She University, Lee is beading a program in which be starred
during bis undergraduate days. Several of his records still stand. Pros
pects for this year and the near future on tbo cinder track appear
to mildly dismaL to say the least.
What has given rise to rumors is the fact that Grand Island's
present coach, Allen zadnund, is under contract for next year to
Kearney State, and the local school board does not appear to be
under too ranch duress in finding a new rwirt.
Lee has given no public denial to the reports and has been called
upon from several sources to deny or afSrm the rumors, if they are
rumors. This is the way the situation stands today.
There is no great cry for Lee's scalp because of this year's poor
