A look at the Nebraska high
school record holders in track and
field events will show that ther
of the present members of th
Husker varsity track squad turned
in performances, during thei
high school careers, which have
not been bettered since then in the
state meets.
Harvey "Thinman" Stroud, th
gangling quarter milcr from North
Platte, established the existing
440 yard dash record in 1942 when
he tourned the UN cinder oval in
:50.6. This season after spending
time in the service Stroud has
turned in a :50 clocking.
Another Important cos in the
1946 Nebraska track team, little
Bobby Ginn, holds the prep 880
standard, which is one of the rec
ords most liable to be broken this
weekend. Ginn ran the half tnile
in 1:59.3 in 1939 as a member of
the Madison high school track
team, but this year Jim Martin of
Omaha Benson has done the dis
tance in 2:00.4, and could shat
ter Bobby's mark.
The third trackman represented
on the list of state record-holders
is hurdler Norval Barker of Au
rora, who is the high hurdle king
with a time of :14.9. Here again
an Omaha Benson athlete has
been threatening to break the rec
ord. Bob Bergshire, Bunnie hurdler
has rambled over the high sticks
in :15 flat, only .1 away from
JJarker s 1943 record
Coach Ed Weir has cooked up a
tasty dish for track fans Saturday
afternoon as a special event dur
ing the state high school cham
pionships. Two varsity relay teams
composed of three mean each, will
run a medley relay.
Paired against each other in the
anchor mile leg of the race are
Bobby Ginn and Dean Kratz.
These two distance aces have fin
ished in a dead heat for first place
in the mile in the Huskers' two
most recent dual meets. It will be
interesting to watch the two run
ning on opposing teams.
Both will have topflight support,

Harvey Stroud and Al Brown,
while Bill Moorhouse and Blaine
Young will precede Ginn on the
track. The two earlier legs will be
440 and 880 distances, making
the entire race a mile and three

Kansas and Iowa State are cur

division with a record of four wins
and four defeats. The Scarlet
