Leftovers from the Kansas
Relays scene:
Biggest surprise for Coach Ed
Weir was the showing of broad
jumper Harry. Meginnis, former
Lincoln high athlete. Untested in
collegiate competition, Meginnis
leaped through the air 22 feet 6V4
inches, a distance good enough
for first place in the Kansas
carnival. Weir had his eye on
Meginnis for some time, and the
showing of the new performer in
dicates trftit the Huskers will have
a broad jumper to be reckoned
with when the conference out
door meet rolls around.
In addition to winning; the
broad Jump, Meginnis turned in
pleasing performances in the 440
r id 880 yard relays. Nice going
ft . a fellow who had passed up
ti ? Indoor track season to con-
ct rate on basketball.
Reason for the absence of Ne
braska pole-vaulter Don Cooper
from the place winners was that
Cooper passed up competition
when the. rain and slippery foot
ing made every vault attempt a
risk to bodily safety.
The results of the pole vault
event were inconclusive as five
vaultcrs tied for first place at the
heigth of 11 feet 6 inches, nothing
more than a warmup height for
the Scarlet skyrider in good
weather.
High jumpers were handicapped
in their efforts by a pair of pil
lars in the middle of the run
ways which lead to the bar. The
weather had forced high jumpers
indoors and the obstacles forced
most leapers to alter their ap
proach style.
Nebraskan Monte Kinder did
as well as any, for he tied Jay
hawk Tom Scofield for first place
with a jump of 6 feet 1 inch.
Missouri coachs Tom Botts got
his smiles from the performance
of the Tiger hurdlers. Four Ben
gal timber-toppers trailed Notre
Dame's John Moore to the tape in
the 120 yard high hurdle finals,
Bob Berkshire paced the
Husker hurdle entries by gaining
the semifinals before being elim
inated. Ralph King, usually a
threat in any high hurdle field,
passed up the Kansas jaunt.
A win for Herb Grote'in the
Drake Relays javelin throw would
give the Nebraska ace a clean
sweep of the spring relays titles.
Grote took the Texas Relays
crown with a toss of over 197
feet, but had to be satisfied with
an effort between 189 and 190
feet in the rain-soaked Kansas
get-together.
As it was, Grote's winning
heave was not more than a few
inches ahead of the best throw
achieved by Karl Ebel of Kansas.
The Mount Oread spear artist,
who strengthens his arms with
summer labor in his father's
meat market, served notice that
he will be Grote's chief competi
tion in the Big Six javelin event.
With a squad of 28 enrolled in
the Drake competition at Des
Moines this weekend, the Husker
team will be back at prewar
strength. During the war years
the Cornhuskers were never
represented by more than a hand
ful of outstanding entrants in the
Drake events.
The Missouri baseball team that
Coach Tony Sharpe's Scarlet nine
meets today got most of its pre
season drilling on the polished
maple floor of the Tiger gym
nasium. Infielders and outfield
ers put in their time judging the
horschides indoors, with only
pitchers and catchers getting real
practice.
Along with the Hobe Hayes-Bob
Grogan second base combination,
the Nebraska baseballers have
another duo held over from sand-

PAL HOLLOW GROUND BLADES ARE MADE III U.S.A..
Hard work this week to make
up for the scrimmage we lost
last week.
That seemed to be the prevail
ing opinion among members of
the Nebraska coaching staff as the
Scarlet spring grid practice con
tingent headed into its fifth week
of football drills.
Tony Blaztne's linemen came in
for the brunt of the rough stuff
as they worked on offensive and
defensive tactics against each
other. Four forward wall units
were, point through a spirited ses
sion of contact work under the di
rection of Line Coach Blazine and
End Coach Ray Prochaska.
Passing came in for the most
attention in the backfield ranks.
Two backs cavorted in defensive
positions while quarterbacks at
tempted to nail receivers cutting
down the field.
Dick Thompson, Joe Partington,
Del Wiegand, Bruce Bergquist
and Jim Myers were taking turns
on the throwing end. Charlie Har
rington, Auburn transfer from
Washington and Lee, showed some
of the tricks that enabled him to
bag the title of the nation's tenth
leading pass receiver. Elusive
Charlie is rounding into top
shape after being hampered by in
juries since the first full scale
scrimmage of the spring grid sea
son. Offensive Work.
Offensive plays were next on
the agenda for the ball-luggm"
corps. Four backfields ran through
plays without opposition as Mas-
terson and his aides attempted to
smooth the kinks out of basic T
formation maneuvers.
In " the first backfield Dick
Thompson was at quarterback,
Jim Myers and Cletus Fischer
were at the halfback posts, and
Dale Adams handled fullback du
ties. With Tom Novak shifted to
center, and Wally Hopp out of
school with an eye toward turn
ing pro, Adams looms as one of
the mainstays at the fullback spot.
Novak and Hopp were the first
and second string line buckers at
the close of the 1946 season.
When the backs and linemen
combined for dummy drill, the
first outfit had Alex Cochrane at
one wing post, with Al Kirlin and
Ralph Damkroger alternating at
the other spot. Carl Samuelson
and Mike DiRiase were at tackles,
John Sedlacek and Harold Becker
at guards and Tom Novak at cen
ter. Ed Nyden and Jack Pesek were
at the ends on the second unit,
with Charlie Toogood and Fred
Golan at tackles, Bob Deviney and
Gene Wilkins at guards and Guil
Cade at center.
The backfield combination of
Thompson, Myers, Cletus Fischer
and Adams was running behind
the first line, while Joe Parting
ton, Bill Mueller, Junior Collopy
and Bob Riedy worked behind the
second crew. Riedy was making
his initial bid at the fullback post
after being shifted from the half
back ranks.
