THE NEBRASKAN
E-OusEter Track Team
90s Sasoo Fsfb- 2
With four veteran squad mem
bers of previous years to serve as
the nucleus for this season's track
team, Husker Coach Ed Weir is
readying his charges for the open
ing of the indoor season.
Freshmen, navy trainees sta
tioned at the university, and. a
few returned servicemen, will
supplement the proven perform
ers.
Four indoor meets have been
scheduled for the Nebraska squad
in addition to the Big Six cham
pionships which will be held in
Kansas City on March 2.
All of the meets are to be on
the Husker track, and four Big Six
teams will come to Lincoln for
Saturday competition throughout
the months of February.
Sooncrs First.
Oklahoma will be the Huskers'
first foe, as the Sooners will ap
pear on Feb. 2. Missouri, Iowa
State and Kansas will also make
appearances later in the month.
Dean Kratz, Dick Miller, Nor
val Barker, and Al Brown are
the mainstnys for this season's
team, the first two men placing
in the NCAA championships last
summer.
Kratz, the jack-of-all-trades on
the Nebraska squad, is able to
compete in almost any event on
the track, and has been working:
out in his high school specialty,
the low hurdles. At present the
Sidney trackster is the conference
indoor 880 and 440 king, and on
the outdoor track he rules the 880
and mile divisions.
Last year the Nebraskans ac
counted for six first places in the
conference championships, and
winners of five of those events
are back. Lack of third, fourth
and fifth place points kept the
team out of the championship
spot, and in order to halt repeti
tion of this situation, Coach Weir
has issued a call to all students
to come out for places on the
team.
Dick Miller, indoor and outdoor
pole vaulter, is in fine form
this season, for he cleared 13 feet
the first time he vaulted for
height. He is also working at the
high jump pit.
Norval Barker has ruled the in
door and outdoor high and low
hurdle races i-.r: the past season,
and is aiming to repeat his wins
in the present season.
The fourth veteran trackster is
Al Brown, a returned GI, who
was a former middle distance .ace,
and is again working in these
events.
Freshman Crop.
A promising freshman turnout
has produced Fritz Ware, high
school broad jump and sprint star
at Omaha Benson, who is getting
ready for the 60 yard dash and
the broad jump: Ted Randolph,
of Ord, who has been hampered
by an infected foot, but has shown
real potentialities in the hurdles,
sprints and high jump; and Don
Yocum of North Platte, a member
of Nebraska's championship two-
