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.

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.

Nation's Top Wrestlers
Open Final Olympic Trials
, AMES, la. 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.

Drops 8-1 Tilt
To Iowa State
Iowa State's Cyclones won their
first conference baseball game of
the season Tuesday afternoon by
tripping Nebraska's Cornhuskers,
8-1.
The Cyclone nine was able to
collect only two hits off the Ne

capitalized on four walks, three
errors and a balk to' tally their
scores. Six of the runs came in
the fourth inning.
Wes Maser, who injured his leg
several weeks ago, saw limited ac

should be ready for full duty in
