THURSDAY. MAY 1, 1941. PLATTSilOUTH SEE - WEEKLY JOTJUKAL PAGE THREE Plattsmouth to Defend Track Title in May Showing Last Year in East Nebraska Six Conference Won Title Face Hotter Competition Flattsmoiith High, last year's champions in tno Eastern Nebraska Six conference, are ready to vie asain -with their five opponents for top honors when the conference meet is held early next month. Taking first in seven of the fourteen events scheduled last year and a goodly number of place and show positions, the Blue Devils mowed down their opposition and coasted to a comfort able win. Things promise to be just a bit hotter this year for the defend ing champions as the Tihie and White are considerably weaker in the sprints, due to the loss of Allan White, riattsmouth's ace sprinter of Inst year. Only Jimmy Yelick has hern a constant point getter in the tourna ments to date, and Yelick is a weight man. leaving the Hatters vulnerable in the sprint division. Without a doubt things could be a lot worse, as Coach Hoffman has a great deal of confidence in some boys who have yet to prove themselves. Boys who are takirg "White's place in the 100-yd. dash are Charley Mo Chain and Joe Noble. McClain has given indications of .speed and whether he can produce it is only a matter of trying. Joe was a point winner from last year. McClain and Wohlfarth are the boys set for the 220-yard dash. Wohlfarth like Mo-! Clain has yet to prove himself though he has indicated that he has what it takes. Quarter milers on the P." H. S. squad are Grauf and Wohlforth. Grauf was a reserve center on the football squad and has showed a great deal of speed and stamina in the 440 yard run. Grover Parriott who placed fourth in last year's half mile and Milt Allen a transfer from Nebraska City will take care of the half mile, while Malen Powell, a second place winner last year, will run the mile. Joe Noble is the only boy Coach Hoffman has for the high and low hurdles. Noble also placed in. ; this event last year. Joe Thillips last year's broad iump winner is being replaced this year by Kenny White. Lars Larson, and Chuck McClain. Between the three of them the hoys should be able to sew up most of the points. Pay Evers. lanky Plattsmonih sophomore is an outstanding personality in the hi ah itimn. while Johnny Aschen- brener will do the pole vault. Plattsmouth is all but invulner able in the weights with Captain Jim Yelick leading the way. Malen Pow ell and Charley Kozak may add some needed points. Though an S S 0 relay team has not been selected as yet it is altogether possible that Parriott, Noble, Mc Clain. and Grauf may be made into such an outfit.
