in the world for these reasons," said
Coach Schulte.

himself.

thing and you know who was the

looking at the record.
TRACK PROGRESS THIS YEAR
What the 1920 Husker track squad
vill accomplish cannot bo prophesied,
but the prospects look good. The first
performance of the season will come
off at Crbaua, Illinois this. Saturday.
Xebraak will be represented at the
antial University of Illinois indoor
track varnival by Captain Byron Mc
Haaon, "Sguirr Owen, Harper, Oraf.
Dale and Wright.
The first four will run in the relay,
either medley; first two runners take
quarter, third a half, and laat a mile;
two mile. Wright will compete In
to "S-yard high and low hurdles. Dale
fll put the shot.
Never before in the history of Husk
er JK'rt has so many men turned out
tor track as thij year. Why? Largely
ectOfie Schulte got them out. 125 are
o Capuin Bill Day's roll call; Bill Is
"t la command to Schulte on the
trck; tnd during Janusry and Febru
7 about fifty were warming up each
afternoon.
One o fthe first things Schulte look-
after at the beginning of the track
was the building of the "board
tk" whkh has made this winter
practice posible. . Following the plau
used at Missouri a one-'welth mile cir
cular board track and a 75-yard straigh
tway was laid down on the athletic
leld. This gave a firm footing when
tha slush and mud was deep.
OLD VETS LIMBER UP
Husker track fans whose beaming
faces, afetr the suRBhlny reports last
spring about the world boating track
team Nebraska would have when Wer
ler, Owen, Finney,- Graf, Harold Mc
Mahon and others came back into the
harnes, loked long and glum when
Graf was the only old standpatter be
sides "byron Mack who suited out for
early practice, again registered happi
ness when "Squirt" suddenly "blew
in" at the first of the second semester.
"I Just couldn't keep away," said
"Squirt." "when I heard that ell the
old boys were falling them."
Remember how caressingly the sun
shone last Monday? That was be
cause "Mike" Finney, too. couldn't re
sist, drew his equipment from "Capun
Bill," sauntered out to the track and
said: "What do you want me to do,
Coach."
For the benefit of some igorant fresh
men and some of the high school boys
who read this, It may be well to ex
plain that Finney is the best hurdler
who ever represented Nebraska and
that no faster Husker ever wore
spikes In the quarter than "Squirt"
Owen, with the possible exception of
Captain Byron Mack.
Yes, keep your eyes on the track
team this season.
The University Hopes To
Conquer Basketball Men
Years ago, when commercial clubs
and farmers' unions were yet unheard
of, there was created by our legisla
ture a state university, which had as
its object, the giving of a higher edu
cation to the high rhool graduate.
Someone said "Lincoln would be a cap
ital place for its location" and there
upon buildings were erected, profes
sors were hired, and students came
from far and near to get the benefits
of a university education. These stu
dents graduated and went out Into the
wide world and succeeded, even as you
and I have ambitions to do. Someone
said "We must interest the high school
graduate so that he will journey
hither in search of the higher educa
tion. W!e must do more than send
them booklets which lead them to be
lieve that we are a business college,
"Then came the suggestion that ev
ery year there be held under the au
spices of the athletic department of
this university a basketball tourna
ment to which all high schools of the
ate should be Invited to send their
Quintets to compete for a cup, which
should be awarded to the champion
tean. This plan was put Into execu
tion and for the last few years the
(.fudents of the hiuh schools hav
Journeyed hero to compete in this
t.umament and incidentally to gain
a:, iisigbt In -j the workings cf a
?reat institution. Later large numbeis
of these selfsame students, along with
countless others, took advantage of
the opportunity for a university educa
tion and were given a good start along
the road to the success.
And so it came to pass in the year
of our presidential election, some 1500
students representing 189 high schools
of the state, took part In this basket
ball tournament which had grown in
t. the largest one of Its kind in the
world. While competing for the
championship In their various classes,
the students from these high schools
had an opportunity to observe the
University and the things connected
with it. They observed the education
al, athletic and social side of the Ne
braska University in its dally work
ings. High school students, we wonder
how you are Impressed. You have
come to our University as our guest,
vou have seen us as we are In every
lay life and it is our sincere wish
hat we have conquered yoa to the
1ea that this is the ONE university.
Have we succeeded?
