To further appreciate that 174
2t discus toss of Howard Debus'
the new state record in Okla
homa high schools, set last week,
is just a little over 147 feet....
Cy Sherman's suggestion for a'
ppecial 440 between Red Littler
and Bob Simmons at the state
high meet was a swell one.... but
Ed Weir doesn't want thi two to
meet before the big Six meet. . . .
if they ever get together, and
really stretch out, there's going
to be a torridly fast quartermile
run.
Bob Sweiger, Minnesota full
back, Is being tried at halfback, in
one of the countless trial switches
Bernie Bierman has made during
spring practice. .. .The Husker
and Gopher basketball teams play
here next winter, on December 21
....Jack Wilson, Baylor sopho
more grid star, who was hurt in
the first quarter of last fall's game
here, has bcn putting the shot out
better than 48 feet. . .his distances
in it and the javelin have been the
best in the south west conference
this year. . . .Jim Thomason, Texas
A. & M. backfielder, is defending
champion. .. .and Dwight Parks,
little Baylor speedster, is the best
printer the Bears have.... and
end Sherman Barnes is the base
ball team's star pitcher ... .Jim
Witt, the best threat the Wacoans
had in the backfield last fall here,
is one of the team's leading hit
ters. Campbell Kane, the brilliant In
diana sophomore, who ran the 880
and final lap for the Hoosier sprint
medley team which tied the Drake
record, is the athlete who won the
junior AAU 800 meters here last
summer. Kane, running an 880
lap at the Indiana Relays held in
doors last week, turned in a 1:51.5
- the fastest indoor half-mile on
record at Indiana.

Year's first
outdoor dual
starts at 4
Vike Francis not yet
eligible; sophomores
again lead Huskers
Come 4 p. m. this afternoon and
Nebraska's track and field per
formers will go into action for the
first time at home this spring on
the outdoor clnderpaths. Kansas
State, some 30 strong, will provide
the opposition.
Both teams were in action over
the week end, the Huskers com
peting in the Drake Relays, while
the Aggies were in the Colorado
Relays. Students will be admitted
upon presentation of athletic tick
ets, the general public for 50 cents,
while knotholers can see the meet
for a dime.
The rumor that Vike Francis,
weightman, may become eligible
for the K-State or Iowa State dual
meets this week was blown up,
Tifesday as he is still back in his
school work. Viscount will have to
wait another week before he can
become eligible.
Hackney leads visitors.
Heading the Wildcat aggrega
tion will be Elmer "One Man
Gang" Hackney. The champion
shotputter hit 52 feet in the iron
ball event last week and is im
proving as the weeks pass.
Nebraska's sophomores will
again carry the brunt of the load
against the Wildcats. Gene Littler
will be in the century, furlong,
and quarter mile. Lloyd Wright
will also compete in the first two
of the events run by Littler.
Harold Brooks will be the classi
est candidate in the half mile and
mile races. The relay team will d
pend on how the points stand in
the meet when time comes for the
mile relay.
In the pole vault, Harold Hunt
is picked to win. At Drake, he
came as close to clearing 14 feet
as any other time this year.
The discus throw has Edsel Wib

Nebraska grid team to boast
strong guard roster next year
Nebraska guards, strong last
year, will be improved next fall,
both in quantity and quality, if
spring football sessions mean any
thing. Warren Alfson, Wisner senior,
who was named to the Associated
Press' All-American second team,
is slated for national honors if he
keeps up the play he showed last
fall and this spring. Alfson does
everything from block punts to
kick extra points in addition to
performing a guard's regular
offensive and defensive duties.
Two of the other first four
guards last year are back for sure
George Abel and Ed Schwartz
kopf. Abel, a- big sprinter whose
forte is leading interference, is
also a good defensive man. Li'l
Eddie, who was a Husker spark
plug last year, should be one of the
Big Six's best next fall.
Both Abel and Schwartzkopf
will be juniors, as will Hub Mon
sky, Omaha, if he gets past
scholastic difficulties which kept
him, out of spring football prac
tice." Monsky, an alert, driving
player, and the biggest of the
four, would be an asset to any
team.
There's still plenty of material

rained out again,
to play today
The Huskers and Gophers will
try it again today.
The first game of a two-game
series was rained out Monday.
Then a doubleheader was sched
uled for yesterday. It rained
again.
Husker coaches agreed to re
main in Minneapolis another day,
so the two games are supposed to
be played this afternoon, one a
9-inning, the other a 7-lnning af
fair. If today's games are rained out,
though, the Huskers will return
home in order to start out for
Lawrence, where they meet Kan
sas Friday and Saturday.

A possible slam is seen in the
javelin with Herb Grote, George
"Bus" Knight, and Wibbels finish
ing in that order. Grote hurled the
spear past the 200 200 mark
at Des Moines.
Ag's strong In shot.
The Aggies will pick up on the
Huskers in the high jump, two
mile run, in the shot, broad jump
and possibly in the two hurdle
races. Nebraska is weakest in
these events.
Missouri came up with an 85-45
win over Arkansas Monday in a
dual meet. In doing so, the Tigers
took firsts in 11 of the 15 events.
Leading the Bengals to victory
was "Lonesome John" Munski who
raced to wins in the half mile,
mile, and two mile. His time in
the mile was 4:16.3, and very good
time in the advent of his running
three distance races.
Sol Shumitzky took first in the
100 yard dash in 9.9 with a favor
ing wind behind his back. Jimmie
Johnson came in with firsts in the
two hurdle events. He skimmed
over the highs in 14.8 and the lows
in 24.7.
Newcomers to the Husker fold
include Albert Lunt, Superior; Bob
Connor, Bayard; and Don Chalou

Francis Greenlief, a Hastings
freshman, was playing with the
first Yale team as the spring sea
son ended. He and Herb Von
Goetz, North Platte, who was an
all-state tackle in high school, are
both 180 pounders, who are really
good prospects. Howard Zorn, a
big 210 pound holdover from last
year, and Lynn Myers, 161 pounds
of fight, were the other new men
who showed up best.
Other men, all without previous
experience, are Bill Bryant, Lin

George Kuska, Fairmont; Jack
Nelson, Omaha; Joe Partington,
Lincoln; Harold Sears, Decatur.

Tex Carleton hurls no-hitter
as Dodgers thump Reds, 3-0
By Jim Evinger.
The pitchers are finally coming
into their own again, it appears.
For the second time this year,
the bombing of major league hit
ting has been completely silenced
in a game. Tuesday afternoon, Tex
Carleton, the 34 year old veteran
back up from the minors, pitched
himself into the Hall of Fame.
The trick was turned in against
the National league champions, the
Cincinnati Reds by a no-hit, no-
run performance. His Brooklyn
Dodger mates kept their hold on
first place by winning their ninth
straight win since the opening of
the season.
Dodgers Err Thrice.
Three errors behind Carleton
were not enough to throw him off
his pace as he stood the Rhine
landers on their collective heads
by his hurling. Pete Coscarart
came to Tex's aid by slapping out
a three run homer that accounted
for all of the scores.
Other games in the senior loop
found the Chicago Cubs nosing
out Boston's Bees 8-7, and Phila
delphia beating Pittsburgh 6 to 2.
Over in the American league,
the New York Yankee stock took
a big dip seventh place in fact
as the World Champions went
down to defeat before the St. Louis
Browns by a 2-1 count. Emil Bil
dilli held the Bronx Bombers to
two hits as he bested Red Ruffing
in a hurling duel. Rip Radcliff hit
a homer to hamper the Yankee
cause.
Cleveland wins.
Cleveland took a firm hold on
first place in the junior circuit by
beating Philadelphia 10 to 5. Wil
lis Hudlin was the winning pitcher.
Home runs were the order of the

Debus, Stackhouse,
Brown among leaders
Several high school records, es
pecially the discus, appear to be
in jeopardy next weekend when
the state's high school track stara
meet here for the annual high
school meet
Sensational Howard Debus of
Lincoln high again broke his na
tional interscholastic discus record
last weekend when he sailed the
platter 174 feet 2', k inches. That
is some. 20 feet better than the
state record he set last year. De
bus also bettered the state shot
and javelin records in practice.
Merlin Stackhouse, Oshkosh, did
22.5 seconds in the 200 lows last
week, to better the state record of
23.1. Marshall Neihardt, Jackson's
redhead, has done :15.2 in the high
hurdles, one-tenth a second off
Husker frqsh Ralph King's record.
Vern Van ' Wie, Hastings, has a
:15.3 mark.
Al Brown of Omaha Benson,
who won the 440 last year, turned
the quarter in :51.8 last weekend
to come within six-tenths of a sec
ond from the state mark. Harold
McAferty, Gothenburg, did 6 feet,
one-half inch, in the high jump.
That is less than two inches from
the present record held by his fel
low townsman Trimble.
Sox into second place by a 9-4
win behind John Rigney's pitch
day in this game. Hal Trosky and
Ken Keltner both batted out a
pair of round trippers for the win
ners. Bob Johnson connected for
a circuit clout for the A's.
Chicago pushed the Boston Red
ing. In the only other game played.
Washington ran past the Detroit
Tigers by a 9-4 score.
