WAYNE KELLOGG
Dropping out o school for this
semester is one Wayne Kellogg.
Who is he, you ask.
Well, Wayne Kellogg is a soph
omore basketball and tennis ace,
from Omaha. Kellogg is not com
peting in varsity athletics now in
order to preserve another year of
athletic eligibility.
Wayne is dropping school be
cause of the lack of sufficient
funds. But he will be back. Kel
logg plans to attend summer
school and thus insure his eligi
bility for next year.
CAGER, NET STAR
While in high school, Wayne
with his brother Gayle collabo
rated to win the prep doubles
crown. His brother, a south-paw,
is the present state singles cham
pion. In addition to his ability on the
clay courts, Wayne is also adept
on the hardwood courts. In mat
ters pertaining to basketball, Kei-
logg is one of the bright stars for SCOl'llll! 1'CCOrtt
the 1941-42 cage squad. v
Wayne, a player as aggressive
as Johnny Fitzgibbon and possess
ing a similar build, operated quite
frequently with the varsity sec
ond team in practices with the
first Husker five this winter.
Kellogg will be warmly wel
comed back by Coach A. J.
Lewandowski, the Corn husker
quintet and Nebraska cage fans.

"Biff" Jones' hopes of getting his

practice, but this epistle from Ed

CLOWN DIVER
When it comes to clown diving,
you have to hand it to Les Old
lield, sophomore backstroker. Les
won his spurs (or water wings)
for the Husker tank team this year
and cracked his own coach's 150
yard backstroke Big Six record in
the conference meet last weekend.
But Oldfield does his belly
busters on the diving board ether
than just in the water. In doing
his comical dives, Oldfield can
even add good diving form in
breaking the frce of his dives.
Oldfield is the ther of Barney
Oldfield, Line 1 Journal movie

Six scoring record of 154 points
was set by Frank Groves of Kan

Oklahoma holds that, as the result
of a 30 point spree against the
Nebraska Cornhuskers last year.
Engleman's closest approach

chalked up against Oklahoma in
