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.

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

"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."

"A" basketball competition re
turns to the foreground tonight
with games scheduled in all four
leagues.
In League 2, the ATO-Zeta Beta

In League 3, the DTTa, who are
tied for first with the Phi Delts,
meet a strong Sig Alph team. The
Sig Alphs are probably out of title
consideration after having for
feited two games because of using
ineligible men, but have about as
strong a team as any one in the
loop. Harry Hopp, one of the in
eligibles, is not with the team.
