A Prayer for Lt. Hilgert . . .
A printed prayer is offered here that Lt. Don Hilgert,
erstwhile Cornhusker swimmer, can soon be itemized as "found
and safe" instead of "missing in action."
A prize free style splasher on Tom Leeke's 1941-42 aquatic
squad, Hilgert has been listed in the newspapers as missing
"somewhere in North Africa" while on a flying mission. We
read the same sad news about Michigan's fabulous Tom Har
mon a week back.
That famed wearer of jersey 08 weathered a jungle smash
up, however, to return safely. If clean-cut, grinning Don Hil
gert does not return safely he can not be blamed, lie was a
fborn competitor.
We're pulling for you, Don!

relays.
"I'm sorry we couldn't muster
a larger traveling squad," said
Weir, "but we didn't have enough
men to make up any sort of re
lay team, so Vic, Howard and
Petring will have to carry the
load." r
Both Schleich and Debus under
went a long drill in the shot ring
Wednesday. Schleich hit 49 feet
with several flips.
Debus will enter shot, discus,
javelin and. pole vault in the Des
Moines meet. Schleich undoubted
ly will concentrate on the shot.

Just as a two-bit piece used to serve as proper decoy for
tips in pre-war clip joints, so does not an abbreviated traveling
squad typify the wartime track program.
Howard Debus, Vic Schleich and Dick Petring reported to
Mentor Ed Weir Wednesday for packing instructions prior to
departure for the Drake relays at 12 p. m. today.
"Looks like we'll have enough room to do plenty of
stretching enroute," laughed big Vic.
"Maybe I can even practice tossing my javelin on the
way," countered Debus.
"It'll be different next week," added Weir, "when we
take our boys to Ames for a duel. I can take everyone there
and intend to give all our boys a try to see what they can do
in actual competition."
If Debus can hit 200 feet with the javelin, 160 with the
discus if Schleich can continue to push the shot past 51 feet
Nebraska potentially can ascertain places in three events.
"If" is a terrifically large word, however.
Kansas Drops
Final Spring
Sport Event
. . Dr. Allen Approves
LAWRENCE, April 21. College
baseball is another war casualty
at the University of Kansas.
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen,
baseball coach and director of the
department of physical education,
announced today that conditions
seem to make it inadvisable to at
tempt to carry on the sport. One
of the chief reasons for dropping
baseball, Allen pointed out, is the
difficulty of scheduling games.
It was anticipated originally
that a large share of the schedule
would be arranged with service
teams, but Dr. Allen stated that
the reception center at Leaven
worth, and the naval school for
machinists' mates at Lawrence,
had not as yet started baseball
practice.
War Psychology.
Dr. Alien indicated that in the
first baseball practice session at
the university, it was evident that
the war psychology is having a
definite effect in intercollegiate
sports. That, he pointed out was
very much in evidence during the
closing days of the basketball sea
son. Armand Dixon, for instance,
left two days before the crucial
Oklahoma game, altho he was not
due to repoit for service until a
couple of weeks later.
For the Missouri game at Co
lumbia, ail-American guard Ray
Evans decided at the last mo
ment to pass up this important
game, but on second considera
tion caught the train the following
morning and arrived in Columbia
in time to help win the game. Most
of the boys passed up the Creigh
ton game, but returned for the
final contest against the Kansas
Aggies.
Dr. Allen was entirely in sympa
thy with the boys' attitudes of
putting the war ahead of inter
collegiate athletics. He pointed
out, however, that there was a
definite defection from former ad
herence to athletic loyalties and
competition in the more impor
tant problem of winning the war.
ends: the veterans Paul Mitchell
and Bill Aldworth at tackles;
Johnny Perko and Bob Graiziger
at guards and Bob Solheim, cen
ter.
When all are able to turn out
for practice Vic Kulbitski has had
the call at fullback, with Bill
Garnaas, Red Williams and Chuck
Avery, newcomer who spent a
year at Michigan, completing the
backficld.
Very promising among many
newcomers are Jim Jennings from
Minneapolis West, Charles Ed
wards, Detroit Lakes, Ed Bush,
Thermopolis, Wyo:, Elmer Thiess,
Ceylon, Minn., and two Wisconsin
boys, Bob Granum, hailing from
Amery and Church Avery, Aniigo.
