Scarlet Cmdermen
Set for Brake Trip
Fourteen University of Nebras
ka track and field performers
will be among the collection of
the Midwest and Southwest's
best athletes which will gather
at Des Moines Friday and Sat
urday for the 38th running of
the Drake relays.
Three Ilusker entrants will be
In the favorite's role for individ
ual crowns. Herb Grote, Monte
Kinder and Don Cooper are the
pupils of Coach Ed Weir who
have merited extra attention
from pre-meet dopesters.
Grote, who holds the Texas
and Kansas relay javelin titles,
is expected to dethrone Bobby
Lowther of Louisiana State for
the Drake title. The Nebraska
spear ace won the Drake title in
1941 and has a toss of over 197
feet this spring to indicate that
he means business.
Wants To Be Alone
High jumper Kinder has
shared in first place ties in both
Nebraska relay appearances, but
is anxious to shake loose his
rivals and win an undisputed
championship. The limber Cam
bridge leaper has gone 5 feet 5
inches this year. He cleared 6
feet 6Ys inches at the Texas re
lays several years ago.
In the pole vaujlt the be
spectacled Cooper rates a place
near the top in forecasts. His
vault of 13 feet 9 inches in the
indoor meet with Missouri is one
of the best performances in the
nation, but with defending
champ Billy Moore of North
western back in the running,
Cooper will have to cut loose in
outdoor competition.
Other Scarlet individual en
trants are Al Thompson and Dick
Hutton in the 100 yard dash,
Harry Meginnis in the broad
jump and Ralph King in the 120
yard high hurdles.
Relay Runners
Slated for duty on the 440 and
880 yard relay teams are Thomp
son, Hutton, Meginnis, Harvey
Stroud and Bill Conner.
For the two-mile relay Coach
Weir is expected to call upon
Bobby Ginn, Jim Martin, Al
Brown and Harold Kopf. A
fourth Nebraska relay team will
be entered in either the sprint
meldey or distance medley event.
The Drake program opens Fri
day afternoon with finals In the
broad jump, discus and two-mile
run in the university section.
Iowa high schools and colleges
will also be on hand for sep
arate competition.
Broad jumper Meginnis, who
surprised everyone with a first
place leap in the Kansas relays,
will be the only Nebraska en
trant to be in action Friday af
ternoon. .
Every Big Six school except
Kansas State will be at the
Drake meet, as well as most of
the Big Ten teams. Texas and

Last Year
In last year's Drake carnival
Nebraska earned three second
places and a third. Grote was
second in the javelin, Ned Nutz
man was second in the shot put
and the Nebraska two-mile relay
team was runnerup to Michigan
State. The Husker distance med
ley quartette finished in third
place.
Ineligibility will keep Loyal
Hurlbert and Dick Piderit at
home, while Fritz Ware, quar
termiler, is still bothered by a
pulled leg muscle.
Following the Drake meet the
Huskers have a dual encounter
with Colorado and a triangular
with Missouri and Wisconsin be
