Tuesaay, FeHruary 20, 1940 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN 21 baseball candidates turn out m it s By June Bierbower. Bob DeFruiter is out of the Husker football picture, and loss that It is to the Nebraska football team, it's just another example of the fact that no athlete is bigger than his books in other words, study, boys, study! DeFruiter is the only Husker in eligible for sure, although there are a few others who will have to go to summer school if they want to make the grade. Excavation on the site of the Husker field house has been going on at a rapid rate, as now the outlines of the building, which runs east and west, can be seen on the ground north of the sta dium. Biff Jones says the practice field part of the structure will be completed for spring practice next year, although the whole building won t be finished by then. It means that by this time in 1941 there will be adequate work out room for the football team when it's muddy and snowy, as it usually is during most of spring practice. The dirt floor on which the boys will work runs most of the length of the building and there's a 45 foot ceiling so that no one will be scraping his show ders or nose. "Red" Littler's :31.2 seconds in the 300 yard dash at Illinois which tide the relays record held by Fred Alderman can be compared with an actual competitive performance by the famed Gipper Locke. Al derman nosed out Locke to set his record in 1926, whereas it was Lit tler who nosed out Wilbur McCown to tie the record. McCown is the Illinois track captain; Alderman was from Michigan. The only two other men who have run the dis tance in that time are Loren Mur chinson and A Woodring. Harold Hunt, in tieing for first place in the pole vault at the Hit rois relays, not only made the best mark a Nebraska vaulter has had indoors, but beat Jack Defield, the Minnesota sophomore who beat him in the junior AAU meet here last summer. Defield set a new junior record of 13-9, but he and the three other men who tied for fourth, got only 13 feet. Defield has been bothered with an ankle injury, but Hunt seems to have re covered from the sore back which was bothering him in the early 6eason. One of the other men whom the sophomore vaulter beat was Dean Higgins, a Missouri pole vaulting soph, who got 13 feet, too, Higgins did only 11-6 In high school, but Chauncey Simpson, M. U.'s track coach, had him take gymnastics exercises to build him self up, and they worked, for Hig gins has been clearing around 13 feet. Fund (Continued from Page 1.) to any of its dozens of borrowers aided by two loan funds, one of them totaling nearly $1,500. Only one loan has ever been hard to collect. Many of the loans are made about this time of year and repaid in time to help another stu dent in the fall. "Knowing the sacrifices and prl vations many students encounter In getting an education makes us value highly the gift made by Mr. Laflin." Thalman sums up. "Therefore, we would not attempt to put a dollar value upon this calf. Best of all, this calf will gain a sort of immortality in that it will go on and on helping first one student and then aother."
