Everest as the highest point on earth. Clark Shifts Drills Outside Coach Potsy Clark gave his Nebraska gridders a touch of con tact work Wednesday when he took the Huskers outside for the first time this year. The practice was held on the North fields and in spite of slip pery footing the squad showed lots of spirit and drive. Potsy did not spend too long on the actual scrimmage session, but drilled the huge squad in funda mentals, for the major part of the afternoon. The first eleven that worked with the ball was composed of Ralph Damkroger and Don Sailers at ends; tackles were Charlie Toogood and Jim Dodfrey; guards were Rex Hoy and John Sed- lacek; and Bob Costello was at center. In the backfield Jim Myers and Bill Meuller held down the halfback posts while Chick Story quarterbacked and Tom Novak played fullback. Tony Blazine gave linemen a good workout and Doug Russell put the backs through a brissling afternoon. Pop Klein instructed the tackling drills. The coaches were pleased to find that most of the boys were in good shape and that they are ready for tough work. The passers were given special attention with all the backs given a chance to toss the pigskin. The first official 'record in the broad jump was created by F. H. Gooch of England who covered a distance of 18 feet in 1864. The present world mark of 26 feet, BY inches by Jesse Owens, made in 1935, is a gain of 8 feet, 8 'A inches in the intervening 71 years. ?
