Page 6 SPORTS TALK BY FRITZ Memoirs of the Drake Relays. Two of the outstanding inter collegiate track carnivals in the country are the Drake Relays and the Penn Relays. Both fall on the same days, and, during the past years, a strong rivalry has developed between the two. This year the Drake classic bet tered Penn's marks, 11-6, and tied one in 18 comparable events. The midwest's track men had better marks in the 120-yard high hurdles, 880 relay, mile re lay, two-mile relay, four-mile relay, high jump, pole vault, discus, javelin, shuttle hurdle re lay and 440 hurdles. Penn was better in the 440 relay, sprint medley, distance medley, broad jump, shot and two-mile run. They tied in the 100-yard dash. Nebraska university's showing in the sprint relays deserves praise. Dick Hutton, Hairy Me ginnis, Don Vollertson and Al Thompson ran in both the 440 and 880 events, taking second in the 440 and third in the 880. Thompson.

Jerry Jefchaf, Drake univer sity's winner of the two-mile run, was laboring under slightly adverse conditions when he ran.

Tom Scofieli of Kansas, Big Seven kins;, and Dwayne Feeken of Iowa Suite were two of the 11 who placed in that event.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Potsy's Men Aim For Final Scrimmage Tilt Coach Potsy Clark sent his spring gridmen through a stiff workout Wednesday afternoon in preparation for the final scrim mage session Saturday. Fundamentals were stressed, for the Red and White squads, while the Blue team concentrated on running plays. With Jerry Ferguson, Scotts bluff halfback, calling signals, the three Blue squads ran plays simultaneously. Fergum's passe.- were hitting the mark as the ends I pulled in everything within reach. Fundamental Tests. Following Coach Clark's policy of giving every man a fair chance, the White squad went through several fundamental I tests. According to Potsy, "a man I must be able to block, tackle and ! follow the ball." I Some of the standouts on the j White squad were Heckenlively, I Fox, DeMaude, Taylor, Wagner, Buchanan and Churchill. These boys will get a chance to show their abilities in Saturday's scrimmage. Blue Against Reds. The Blues will play the Reds in the Saturday session. Some of the Whites will also see action in the contest. From this scrimmage, Potsy and his assistants will pick four teams to be invited for prac tice early next fall. The remain der of the squad will make up the B team. According to Potsy, the varsity will not necessarily be chosen from the Blue squad members. "A man who receives an early ! fall call will not be assured of staying on the varsity, Potsy said. "And the same goes for the men on the B squad." rolled. It was the first time in Drake Relays history that four foreigners had combined to win a relay event. Here's a bit of advice for any one who plans to attend next year's Drake meet. The ticket sellers count change on their fingers, so be sure to buy your tickets early. If you don't, and take it from one who knows, you'll miss seeing the world's champion hurdler perform.

America's biggest wrestling meet got under way here at Iowa State college Thursday with more than 200 wrestlers seeking berths on the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. Only 16 men will be stars. The field starting the six-i session grind represents the cream of the nation from 17 qualifying meets. The National Collegiate Athletic association, the Amateur Athletic union, and the U. S. Navy meets each qualified 32 men. The remainder survived district trials all over the United States. Everyone from high school "kids" to settled business and professional men are trying for the spots which will quality them for the trip to London in mid summer. For the most part how ever, the fieid is made up of am bitious collegians. Six Sessions. There will be six sessions of the Olympic wrestling trials. Each afternoon session alter Thursday wul start at 1 p.m. Crowd reaction to the Olympic scoring methods is likely to be a on on the violent side if exner ience at other meets this year are indicative. Most confusing of the Olympic rulec concerns the "quick" faii. If both shoulders touch the mat at the same instant, under the international rules, a fall has been secured. Abrupt endings of some of the matches with the apparent winner de clared thrown may surprise un schooled fans but it will be leiral If any single match were to be pointed out as the highlight of the tournament it might be the expec ted encounter between Glen tsrand, 1948 NCAA 174-pound champion from Iowa State, and Joe Scarpello, Iowa star who placed third in the same weight this year. Last year Scarpello was ursi ana tirand second. Following Brand's victory at Lehigh in the NCAA, Mike Howard, Iowa coach, issued a warning to both Brand and Wald emer Von Cott of Purdue, who also beat the lowan to gain second place. Howard said "they'd better be ready at the Olympic finals." All if which means that this is figured to be THE match of the meet. Host of Champions Nor is all the power in the 174 pound class. Present and past na tional champions, regional cham pions, and powerful contenders iu all weights will be on hand.
