THE NEBRASKAN
Big 6 Champ
Unheralded
In Tryouts
AMES, Iowa, March 5 George
Bretnall, Iowa State track coach,
had already picked his varsity
track squad for 194G when the shy,
slender, and slightly . wide-eyed
youngster asked for a tryout early
in January.
"What do you do, son?"
"I jump a little," was the re
ply. 'About 6 feet," was the reply
to the next question.
First night out Dwayne Feegen,
Omaha, Neb., Central student,
jumped about 6 feet 1 inch. A
night or so later he topped that
by an inch. He could "high Jump
a little.
In dual meets against Minne
sota, Nebraska and Drake he won
his event at an even 6 feet fail
ing all efforts to go higher. Along
the way he picked up points in the
hurdles.
Wins Big Six Title.
At Kansas City last Saturday
he found that a 6-foot leap would
not be enough. He cleared the bar
at 6-1, then at 6-2. He and Sco
field, defending champion from
Kansas, were still jumping. Fee
kin missed his first shot at 6-3,
Scofield cleared and made the
mistake of under-estimating Fee
kin. "Feek" cleared the height on
the next jump and then wasted no
time when he set the mark for
a new record of 6-4, clearing the
height on his first try.
He was the champion and new
record holder Dwayne Feekin,
the G.I. wno could "high jump a
little." -
