Midwest stars to compete
by
David Thompson
"There is no time like the pres
ent" seems to be the motto for
the early birds of the A. A. U.
crop already in Lincoln for the
meet. Kvery afternoon finds the
ever growing number of entrants
working out in Memorial stadium.
Conditioning is of prime import
ance to these boys who expect
to be at the top when the meet
Is over.
Highlighting the list of tho.e
vhn are already taking the kinks
out of their muscles is Fred Wol
cott of Rice, the nation's best
hurdler. Here with him from Rice
are ISilly Turner and Joe Hlecg.
North Carolina's contribution to
the meet is 5 in number, headed
by Johnny Davis, topflight col
legiate miier. Harold Cagle, flashy
quartermilcr formerly of Okla
homa Baptist, is also among those
getting the feel of the cinders. He
is a newly-wed and did not leave
the Mrs. behind. He has a victory
over Pittsburgh's Johnny Wood
ruff to his credit, a result of his
trip to the Compton Relays in
Calif.
Completing the list, with whom
you can mingle if you visit the
scene of the battle to come, will
be Lonnie Hill, Texas university
dash star, and Dick Ganslen, Co
lumbia U. vaulter who is compet
ing under the colors of the Shore
Athletic club.
Bob Simmon's chances in the
400 meter hurdle event get an
other boost when word was re
ceived that Boyd Patterson, an
other of the South's great hurdlers,
will not compete here. Talking to
Freddie Wolcott, 1 learned some
thing that was not particularly
stressed in most stories of the
N. C. A. A. meet at Los Angeles.

Pictured above are three mid western athletes entered in the national A.
be held in Lincoln, July 3 and 4. On the left is Eugene Littler, H usker frosh, entrant in the junior
meet dash event next is Elmer Hackney, world's leading shot-putter, a favorite to crack records in
winning his pet event. Third above is Edsel Wibbcls, Nebraska discus thrower, who, if he snaps out
of a slump he has been in for more than a month, may figure high, perhaps highest, in the platter
throwing contest.
Call your girl, get a
dote and swim in the
university pool today
All you lads and lassies
who love the Aqua, here's
your chance to cool off in the
university pool in the coli
seum today from 4 to 6 p. m.
The first of a series of mixed
student swims is scheduled
for the aforementioned time.
All that is necessary is that
you pass the physical exami
nation at the student health
service.
Fred Egley, the Union's
dynamic and minute summer
athletics director promises
weekly mixed swim sessions
if there is a good turnout to
day. So get your date and
swim away the heat.
Mr. Director Egley also
wishes to announce that en
tries in the Badminton tour
nament are now being re
ceived at the Union check
stand, and will not be closed
until July 6 at 10:30 p. m.
was running on an even basis with
him when he fell over the next to
the last hurdle in the 220 yard
low hurdle preliminaries.
Roy Cochran, Indiana's Big Ten
220 hurdle champ will offer Bob
moft competition as he has credit
for a win over Earl Vickery, made
in the Pacific Coast meet last
week end.
Nebraska track fans will be
treated to a couple of novelty
events, aa far as they are con
cerned, when the track and field
luminaries cet together next
week. Such events as the hammer
throw and the hop, step and jump
are new to midwestern college
fans. Incidentally those who "come
and see" will be rewarded with a
look at Irving Folwartshny, Rhode
Island State husky, who will be
here to defend his hammer title.
A new major in recreational pro
grams is now listed on the curric
ulum of Massachusetts State col
lege. Tn the last 25 years, Colgate's
debaters have won a greater per
centage of victories than have the
institution's athletic teams.
Sixty-seven foreign countries
are represented in the collection of
18,000 post cards in the University
of Kentucky library.

(Continued from Page 1)
Altho officials of the A. A. U.
proclaimed the 1935 champion
ships held in Lincoln the most suc
cessful ever held, from the stand
point of famous entiies and at
tendance, not to speak of the pre
cision with which events were run
off, Lincoln is prepared to eclipse
her efforts four years ago.
National chains to broadcast.
The meet will be broadcast by
national networks, and will be cov
ered by the ablest sports writers
in America.
Extensive pre-meet ticket sales
campaigning has been carried on,
resulting in a much greater ad
vance sale than the 1935 campaign
received.
Results of the 1939 champion
ships will echo into the 1940 Olym
nics. with sure shot Elmer Hack

sent this country in the 1940
Olympics. Huskers Bob Simmons
Gene Littler and Eldon Frank will
lead Nebraska stars into the meet.
and altho backed strongly by mid
dle America fans, their chances
in the meet, according to national
critics, are only fair.
Glenn Cunningham, Gene Fens

erini. Pittsburgh's great John
Woodruff. Fred Wolcott. Michi
gan's Bill Watson, and scores of
world renowned runners, sprinters,

hand.
Wibbels a question mark.
Biggest question mark of the
meet is Nebraska's own Edsel
Wibbels, discus thrower from Wol
bach, whom, say Husker fans and
Nebraska sports writers, may
nick his field if he can find his
form.
Wibbels has thrown the discus
around 165 feet in practice throws
and in meets, but his best tourna
ment throws have been nullified by
fouling the throwing circle limit.
National interscholastic cham
pion two years ago, the Husker
junior has shown dismally in his
last few meets, altho he expressed
the opinion once that he doesn't
know exactly what's wrong, buc
whatever it is, he is confident it
will be discovered, probably acci
dentally, before the big meet.
Final examinations are given
only once every four years in Ger
man colleges.
