THE NEBRASKAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1939 PAGE THREE fttVQiMiinii:iiiiii!iiinaiiii! Sport hots by David Thompson Plflli!iii.i:i,lxiS!l!il!l!!!5Ei;:ij::riH!::J,41iil. fact that Sidney ywiwfiiiii!iiiisa: Despite the Wooderson, England's record hold ing hard luck miler will not ap pear in the A. A. U. meet, the race to watch will still be the mile run. Chuck Fenske, upset winner over Wooderson and Cunningham at Princeton, will head the card along with the grand old man of the mile and defending champion Glenn Cunningham. Completing the group that ran in the Princeton mile will be Archie San Romani and Blaine Rideout. Competition will not be restrict ed to this group only, however, as Louis Zamperini, two time N. C. A. C. mile champ, Missouri's John Munski, Manhattan's Howie Borck, Davia, last years junior division champ, and Wisconsin's Mehl, who last week nosed out Munski for second place in the N. C. A. C, will be in the running. Another cheering note for the fans is that John Woodruff, Pitts burgh's long striding quarter and half-mile speedster, who just re turned from the N. C. A. C. meet at Los Angeles in which he set a new half mile record of 1:51.3, is slated to appear here for the meet. Hopes that Nebraska fans will get to cheer a victor among the 16 Nebraska entries in the A. A. U. will rest very much on that old dependable and compromiseable naying. "It all depends," for the er ratic performances of the Huskers in conference and non-conference competition this spring leaves the sports writers with very little basis for opinion. Edsel Wibbels is the foremost of the erratic members of the host state entries. Ed, one meet is at top form and then he turns around the next week and falls down com pletely. He showed that he has the makings of a champion when ha won the Drake Relays discus title, Simmons runs third in California Loses to So. Col's Erwin Miller by only a yard; Wibbels Hops Bob Simmons, for three years Big Six 440 yard dash champion, added another feather to his al ready full cap of track honors last Saturday in the National Col legiate track and field meet, in sunny California, as he captured third place in the quarter mile event Only a yard separated Bob from the winner, Ervin Miller of Southern California, and he was only a fraction of a foot behind Don Watts of the University or California who nosed him out for second place in the fast time of 47.5 seconds. In the qualifying heats on Fri day, Bob also finished in third place behind Watts and Brciden bach of Michigan, but he beat out the Michigan entry in the finals Saturday. His third netted Nebraska's only points as Edsel Wibbels, slated to place in the discus, couldn't made the platter behave and failed to qualify Friday. This was only the second race that Simmons had lost in colle giate competition, losing the first in a dual meet his freshman year. He has never placed out of the money. Women's athletic practices scheduled Girls baseball practice is being held every Monday and Wednes day evening. Volley ball, Badmin ton, and archery practice sessions are scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday evenings. All practices are from 7 to 8 o'clock. The University pool is open to women from 4 to 5 each afternoon and on Saturdays from 1:30 to 3:30 o'clock 16 Weirmen enter A.A.U. competition Eldon Frank, Simmons, Wibbels lead unofficial Huskers July 3-4 TYPEWIIlTEitK for Salt' and ttenl NEBRASKA TYPEWRITER CO. 130 No. 12th St. B21i7 LINCOLN, NEBR.

Modern Cleaners SOUKIT & WESTOVEK Call F2377 Service but his showing at the Kansas Re lays where his own teammate, aRy Prochaska beat him, and at the N. C. A. C. last week where he failed even to qualify, give good evidence that his performance will "all depend." Eldon Frank hat been out of competition for a year and what he will do is therefore also un known quantity. Being out of com petition can do a lot to conceal possibilities as Eldon will prob abiy admit. However those of us who saw him win the 220 yard low hurdles event in the 1938 confer ence meet, just hopping the last hurdle because of an injured ten don, know that if he doesn't come out on top, it won't be because he didn't try. The consistent record of Red Littler's sets him up as a definite threat in the junior division and somewhat bolsters up Nebraska strength. With Clyde Jeffries, last year's sprint champ graduated to the senior bracket the gate is wide open for "Red' 'to slip thru, if and when he can slip by the other as pirants to the same throne. As hosts to the 1939 A. A. U. track and field meet to be held at Memorial stadium on July 3 and 4, Nebraska will not be short of representatives, as 16 of Coach Ed Wier's cinder proteges will match abilities against the nation's best Abiding by a conference ruling the Huskers will compete as In dividuals completely unattached from the university, at least offi cially, yet to Nebraska fans they will in spirit be carrying the colors of the Cornhuskers. Frank leads pack. Leading the Husker pack will be Eldon Frank, 1938 Big Six hurdles champion, who is now taking post graduate work in chemical engi neering at the university and who had been working out regularly steadily during the spring track season. He will be entered in only one event, the 400 meter hurdles, and will forsake his javelin throw ing prowess. Bob Simmons, 1939 conference low hurdles and 440 yard dash ti tleholder, is also entered in the 400 meter hurdle event. Others of the 1939 varsity track squad en tered in the all important national meet include Lloyd Wright, who will try his luck in the 100 meter dash, while Harwin Dawson will try his luck in the broad jump. Edsel Wibbels and Ray Prochaska will be entered in two events, the discus and the shot put, while Bob Mills will enter only the latter event. Littler leads frosh. Nine members of this year's freshman track men are entered in the junior division of the meet. Foremost of these is Eugene "Red" Littler, speed merchant from Mitchell who along with Jack Benger is slated to compete in three events, the 100 and 200 meter dashes anJ the broad jump. Bob DeFruiter, freshman football star, and Warren Radtke are both vieing for honors in the 400 meter run while Vike Francis and Vic Schleich are contending for places in the shot put. Summer sports attract students Softball lures 50 to new athletic field In spite of the near hundred temperatures the summer sports activities are attracting many of the summer students. Approxi mately 50 men are playing soft ball on the field back of the coli seum. Games are being arranged with teams in the city league and tney promise to be filled with ex citement as the city leaguers and the university teams are topnotch ers. Instructions in badminton are being given in the coliseum under the supervision of Fred Egley. The swimming pool is open daily for those trying to evade the high thermometer readings. Use of the pool is permitted only after hav ing undergone a physical examina tion which is given by the student health department.
