Lawrence Retzlaff of Pierce who set a new record in the low hurdles, is a brother of Erv Retz laff, who's playing baseball with Sioux City in the Western league now. . .Retzlaff the elder was a star athlete at Wayne, and a state sprint champion when he was in high school. Shot put marks were below the usual Nebraska caliber. . .they couldn't come up to the marks set in recent years by men like Mills, Pfeiff, Rohn, 'Francis and Schleich. . .best was by 150 pound St. Cyr, Winnebaj; rs great In dian athlete... he tul 48-11 V. St. Cyr had a great day, win ning two gold medals along with 19U points for high honors of the meet... His 22-6J in the broad jump, along with his shot effort brought his gold medals... he also won class C pole vault, and fin ished second in the 100 and fourth in the discus... St. Cyr has a pe culiar running form, as he points one shoulder forward when he sprints. It was a bad day for a number of defending champions, among whom was Bob McArthur, South Sioux City 440 champion . . . Har old McAferty. Gothenburv. and Lyle Rook of Ogallala, who tied with Jack Benger of Callaway, now a Nebraska frosh, for the high jump medal last year, relinquished laurels to Leonard Eornschlegl, Ohiowa, in that event . . .

He was high jump medalist, and picked up seconds in both hur dles, the pole vault and in the broad jump in his class . . . Lin coln's class A title is their sec ond of the year, the Red and Black having been football champions ... As in football, It was Howard Deb'j who was the big noise . . . And Neligh, winners et class B came thru mainly by the efforts of its two backfield stars in football, Gene Grace and Let Reiss. South Soo City was in on two surprises of the day yesterday, one pleasant, the other not so pleasant for them.... Pole Vaultcr Wie- gand tied with Howard Debus at 12 feet even in the pole vault.... Wiegand had never ncarcd that mark before, while Debus had done it once. . . .the boys took their first vaults very easily, both clearing 12 feet on their first attempt however, with the bar at 12-3 neither came close. The team's un pleasant surprise came when Ben son's Al Brown took the class A 440, he and another man finishing in front of the South Soo's state record holder, Bob McArthur. Howard Debus, Lincoln's sensa tional field event man wanted to play In the baseball tournament ....Debus, however, hadn't played baseball all year, so Coach Mueller didn't use him In the meet. . . .He's normally the best hitter in school, and a great outfielder. .. .Sopho more Wes Maser, who got a homer and a triple In the first two in nings against Prep, is the leading hitter on the team excluding De bus.... the boys are neighbors.

Vecchio, Urban Combining a heavy barrage of hitting with the two-hit pitching of Angelo Oesino, Central High of Omaha swept past Crelghton Prep and into the high school state baseball championship, by a score of 7-1. This fifth decisive victory for Central in the tournament gave them the trophy of the first iiigh school baseball tournament ever to be held. Central jumped into an early lead on a home run by Second Baseman Distefano scoring C. Vecchio. Two other homeruns ac counted for the rest of the win ner's scores. Urban brought three runs across in the second inning on his homer, and Charley Vecchio brought two more in on his home run in the seventh. Nears no-nltter. Pitching brilliant ball Cassino seemed on the verge of a not-hit game. However, Prep s pitcher, Kranda, spoiled any hopes by cracking out a single in the i;ixth. Dunn, the losers' catcher, added the second hit, given up by Angie in the last of the seventh. Two misplays were made by the Cen tralites and only four walks were given up by Ossino. Fifth victory for Central. Central defeated Valparaiso 12-0, Prague 12-0, Emerson 19-3, and Millard 10-0, and then hung the 7-1 defeat upon the Prep team to win the championship. Prep takes Lincoln. Creighton Prep moved into the finals yesterday as they had one big inning, the second, to beat Lincoln, 7-5. The Red and Black team led off with two runs in the first, and three in the second, but the little Bluejays came back with 3ix runs in their half of the canto, to put them out in front. They added their final tally in the fourth, as John Hanna. who re placed Bill Wachtler at the start of the third held Lincoln scoreless throughout the last five innings. Big blow of the game was by the slugging Wes Maser of Lincoln, who with two out and a man on base, hit a homer which bounced over the left fielder's head. Maser had previously led off in the first inning with a triple. Uncoin ibholl Prep.

Sportsmanship ofTri Delts features game One of the finest displays of sportsmanship seen in recent years was shown in the final game of the gills intramural basketball tournament when Jeannette Mick ey, captain of. the Tri Delt team. took out a player, so as to even the sides when one of the Independent players had to be removed because of an injured knee. The Inde pendent team had no eligible sub stitutes and intended to play short. The Tri Delts won the game 36 to 21 with a forward wall, consisting of Virginia and Doris Patterson and Pris Wicks, that was impos sible to beat. The Independent team was good but didn't have quite the co-operation to push ahead. Rural economists attend land conference June 23 Prof. H. C. Filley and Prof. L. F.
