ATHLETIUUTUS
ONLY ONE OF LAST YEAR'S
STARS RETURNED
MATERIAL BEING DEVELOPED
Many Inexperienced Men on Squad,
But Will Be Point Winners
Before Season Ends
Prospects Good
The chances for a championship
track team were lost when graduation,
inability to return to college, and in
eligibility caused the loss of such
promising stars as Lindstrum; Reavis,
Smith, Maxwell, Rasmussen, Myers.
Vidal, and Corey. Never in the his
tory of track and field athletics did
Nebraska have such a promising
Freshman team as last year. Yet out
of all these stars only Reavis is
saved.
Regardless of the sort of team that
will represent Nebraska this spring.
a nucleus is being built for next year.
More than seventy-five are working
out regularly and of the entire squad
only three will be graduated this
year. Although very inexperienced,
the squad is making a remarkable
showing for such short training.
In the sprints Scott and Irwin are
developing great ability. In the quar
ter and half, Zumwinkel, Bates. Clark,
and Kubik are sure to give the best
very good competition. In the mile.
Anderson and Spohn are doing well
and Garrison and Gribble have prom
ise. In the two-mile, McMasters
Raecke, Kratz, Ricker, and Weber-
meier make up a quintet who are
improving rapidly and promise to win
points before the season ends.
The field events are the weakest
spots in. the team. Reavis is perhaps
the best pole-vaulter in the West
Liebendorfer promises to be an
eleven-foot vaulter before the season
ends. Ankeny, in the broad jump.
will probably prove a find, as he is
jumping more than, twenty feet witn
an injured instep. In the high jump,
Hummel and Rees are developing and
should give a good account of them
selves. In the weights, Lohman,
Wood and Otoupalik, all inexperi
enced, will be depended upon to de
velop into point winners before the
season ends.
In Goetze, Bolton, and Roberts, Ne
braska has a group of new hurdlers
who are showing good form and who
will win points in both the Ames and
Kansas meets.
