Schulte Memorial fieldhouse is fast becoming an integral part of Nebraska athletics. In its con struction no tax money was in volved. Its cost was paid for from athletic receipts only. It was once only a coach’s dream; now it is a realty. Begun in the fall of 1941, it was only partially completed when the Army Air Force requisitioned it for troops’ quarters. During war time, it served as a barracks for more than 500 Air Force men at the Lincoln Aair Base. Shortage of steel immediately following the war caused further delays in con struction. Finally, after nine long years of waiting, the fieldhouse was completed and pressed into immediate service. With a 90x200 dirt-covered in door playing field, it can be used for practice by Coach Bill Glass ford’s 80-man football squad when the weather is bad. The floor, a special composition of clay and sawdust, is designed to keep the dust at minimum and the surface from packing hard. The ceiling is high enough for the best of the kickers. When Bill Glassford and his football team are not using the field, Tony Sharpe’s baseball can didates are getting in some early limbering-up exercises. In one corner, a rope mesh batting cage is rigged up. In another part of the field the pitchers and catchers work out. Although the field is the out standing feature of the structure, there are other rooms that make the building a truly great athletic establishment. Piles and piles of equipment for all the varsity teams occupy a section of the first floor. The equipment manager is kept busy the year around keep 1 SPRING IS COMING — ORDtR YOUR RUSCO WINDOWS AND RUSCO DOORS TODAY! NO MONEY DOWN—EASY TERMS Call 2-4563 RUSCO WINDOW CO. BEAL BROS.

Next door to the equipment room is the training room, ably handled by Blaine Rideout, for mer champion miler for the Texas Aggies. In it is the most modern equipment needed to keep ath letes in the best shape. Down the hall is a movie projection room where the players can view mov ies of games played by the com ing opponents or of the game they have just played. Locker rooms also take up a large amount of the space. Here each man out for a varsity sport has his own locker in which to keep his equipment. Upstairs there are nine en closed handball courts open to any man on campus. Faculty, as well as officials’, dressing rooms, occupy the second floor. And down in the basement the groundskeeper has his headquar ters and equipment rooms. From top to bottom, athletics is the byword. Here Nebraska’s greats and near greats will be tiaining for the competition that lies ahead And when they dash outside, passing under the horse shoe nailed over the door, they are always ready because they have been training, working and learning to do their best in the best of surroundings. ■ ■ ■ ■ '!■ | rn J*a I H.
