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

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

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. Snorts supervi
sors plan a golf tournament if
enough interest is shown to war
rant the arrangement of the tourney.
