By Jim Van Burgh.
The recently completed Henry
F. 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

Rev. L. S. Goolsby
Returns From Meet
COLUMBIA, Mo.—Rev. Lewis
S. Goolsby, pastor of St. Paul
AME church here, returned last "r

where he attended the Council
of Bishops of the AME church.

ing the gear in repair and in
readiness for the coming seasons.
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.
