Once again Memorial stadium
will be the scene of the annual
state high school track and field
tournament. Athlci.es from every
nook and cranny of this state will
assembly in the Capitol City to
show their puissance in the va
rious events of track pursuits.
Fans attending the two-day classic
will witness high-calibered inter
scholastic trackmen in action.
One hundred and fifty-nine
teams have entered the tourna
ment. This is a new entry record
for the four classes as 154 groups
took part in last year's highly
successful meet. North Pintle took
the class A section last season, out
it will have to do some tall step
ping if it expects to repeat in 1P37.
Lincoln, Jackson, Omaha Tech
and several other class A schools !
have an imposing array of talent
ready for tomorrow's tournament.
Floyd Wright, a member of
the 1919-20-21 Cornhusker foot-
ball teams, paid homage to his
alma mater in the form of a visit
to Track Coach Henry F.
Schulte. Wright played in the
role of a fullback and was
coached by Mentor Schulte. Dur
ing his collegiate days at N. U.
Floyd had a dearth of weight
and as a result he took plenty
of pummelings in grid contests.
In a retrospective manner, he
said: "Because of my weight, I
could not endure more than 30
minutes of action in a football
game. In those days we lacked
weight and reserve material."
Summing up Floyd's gridiron
ability. Coach Schulte said that
he was a fullback in every sense
of the word. When he hit the
ttne, something had to give way
to. his fast bucking. "What he
lacked in weight, he made up in
power," continued Preceptor
Schulte.
The life of a spirts sciibe is not
a bed of roses as many laymen
are inclined to think. During the
wee hours Wednesday morning.
Bill Comm. ."ports columnist for
the Evening Journal, was myster
iously shot in the hip while walk

City. The condition of the famous
International News Service sports
writer, however, is not considered
serious.
A few months back, if you can
recall. Jack Miley. spoils commen
tator for the Chicago Daily News,
and a fraternity brother were em
broiled in a row with Dizzy Dean,
prodigal pitcher for the St. Louis
Cardinals. The two writers were on
the short end of the battle and re
ceived several mir.or lacerations.
Even embryonic journalists who
are serving their apprenticeship in
the universities and colleges are
not immune from ail sort of at
tacks. The pen is powerful but it
sometimes gets its wielder into
trouble. School writers, especially
those dabbling ir. the sports de
partment, are ofton the target of
verbal attacks from the laity and
athletes about whom they have
indited something.

Acacias Outclass Rivals
In Greek Track Tourney
D. UVs Finally Eke Out
Second From Sig Nu
By Relay Win.
By Ed Steeves.
Dropping only two firsts in the
entire meet, the Acacia fraternity
literally steam rollered thru the fi
nals of the intramural track meet
yesterday afternoon in Memo
rial stadium. With this major vic
tory the all season intra-frater-nity
trophy is virtually theirs.
Finishing with a "total of 52
points, their nearest competitor
having 27, the Acacies cleaned up
on the field. They copped five first
places besides placing high in
every event.
Mather, Kahler Star.
Jim Mather and Bob Kahler,
both Acacias and Coach Henry

Tho the winners coasted into
the finish in high. Delta Upsilon
and Sigma Nu had a fight to the
finish battle for second spot,
D. U.'s finally eking into the lead
27-23.
Marks were comparatively good:
and Schulte picked several men
as "prospective" from the field.
The broad jump record by Mather,
21 11 3-4, was foremost of the
meet, establishing a new intra
mural record.
Every event of the afternoon's
slate went as expected with the
exception of the unusually clement
weather and hard surfaced track.
Sackett Second.
In the 100 yard dash Jim Mather
steamed into the tape in 10 sec
onds flat. Bill Sackett, Delta Up
silon, and John Capron. Sigma Nu,
finished close by in the money.
Next, as expected, Mather burn
ed up the cinders in 13 flat for top
honors in the 110 lows. His fra
ternity brother. Kahler, crowded
him. but dropped back to second
at the finish.

By June Bierbower.
Jovial Dr. George E. Condra,
father of the annual state high
school track and field champion
ships held in Lincoln, attributes
gradual bettering of records to ;
better coaching and better condi
tion of athletes.
Condra lauded the accomplish
ments of I:sker-trained coaches,
stating that most of the state's
leading mentors have been Ne
braska graduates. Better condi
tion he defined as better "health,
training rules, and will to win." j
Now director of the university j
conservation and survey division, I

an instructor from Lincoln high :

won all the time."
Condra. along with Dr. R. G.
Clapp, Registrar Sliedd. and A. A.
lieed, who aided him in founding
the meet, believed at the time that
some of the early marks would
never he equalled, but the only
reiord to stay through the years
was that of Lincoln high's John
Tobin in the hammer throw, an
event which was discontinued
several years ago. Condra, while
at Lincoln, had coached Tobin,
now a Salt Lake City judge, as
well as a number of other former
record holders, and many men,
such as Maurice Benedict and
Johnny Westover, destined to be
come Cornhusker immortals.
Although he has not been able
because of other work to attend
every meet. Condra says they are
in the best of hands under the
direction of "Pa" Schulte. beloved
track coach, whom he calls their
"gi idfather."
Condra. a star athlete in his
youth, termed two victories of his
Lincoln Hish track teams his
