notes from 1939
championships
One of the biggest surprises of
the meet was Don Yager's gold
medal in the jave.in. . .Yager, from
Surprise, did just that, as he got
181-2 Friday to lead the qualify
ers, and then did 183-5 Saturday
to take the gold medal . . . best
favorite Howard Debus could get
was 175-6.
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 . . .
Ohiowa is coming in for its
share of titles . . . they won the
class C basketball tournament
last March, and now they come
thru with the title in class B
track . . . and Leonard Born
schlegl, who led them to their
basketball title, had a great part
in yesterday's victory ... 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.

but two safe blows as
first state tourney ends
Central beats Millard 10-0; Prep nips Lincoln 7-5,
in morning's semifinal games; new champs make
runs on homers by Distefano, C. 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.

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.
