This week Don Forsythe was named sports editor of the
Lincoln Journal, in our opinion, one of the best decisions
of the year.
During the last four years, Forsythe, 28, has performed
the most demanding task the Journal has that of prep
sports writer, keeping charts and records on the hundreds
of high school teams in the state.
Done Well
And while doing so, he has proved that even the
toughest job can be done well.
Forsythe, who was recently named Nebraska Sports
writer of the Year by the National Sportswriters and Sports
casters Association, often worked an 80-hour week, without
extra pay, in his effort to do the best possible job.
And for his determination he was rewarded about twice
a week with a seat in a poorly constructed high school press
box, often unheated and uncovered and alowasy over
crowded. From now on he will go first class.
Iowa Grad
Forsythe, who replaces Curt Mosher, who has accepted a
Job as public relations director of the Dallas Cowboys of the
National Football League, is a graduate of the University of
Iowa and served as sports editor of the Grand Island Inde
pendent prior to coming to the Journal.
Trying to fill the shoes of Mosher will not be an easy
task, however.
Mosher, who came to the Journal at about the same
time that Forsythe did, has done a fine job also and will
be very capable in his new position.
Mosher's ability to communicate with his staff has
produced for the Journal some of the most responsible
sports writing in the area in addition to his own refreshing
style.
Now his big worry will be trying to pound his type
writer as fast as Cowboy star Bob Hayes can run.
We would like to take this opportunity to say good
luck to both men in their new assignments.
Individual Bests Anticipated
In Conference Track Tests
A full Saturday schedule
for Big Eight conference
track teams against first
class competition could
force individual perfor
mances in several events to
new all-time conference
bests.
Resting closest to achiev
ing such a spot are Kansas'
George Byers and Gary
Ard, Oklahoma State's
Chris McCubbins and Lar
Track Team
Nebraska's track team,
anxious for its first outdoor
victory of the campaign,
hosts Air Force in a dual
meet at Memorial Stadium
Saturday afternoon.
Field events start at 1:30
p.m., with running events on
tap for 2 p.m.
Home Meet
It will mark the first home
meet for the Cornhuskers
since 1965 (Stadium con
struction put the Scarlets on
wheels last spring) and also
the return to duty of world
print star Charlie Greene.
Greene pulled a muscle in
the opening outdoor meet
New Mexico socked the
Huskers in a triangular
and has not run in the sub
sequent meets. Nebraska
also has dropped a dual with
Arizona State and a triangu
lar to Minnesota at Iowa
State.

We're still a good track
team, but we haven't hit our
peak yet," Coach Frank Se

proving as we have in the
early meets, we'll be pretty
tough by Big 8 time in
May."
Greene is slated to anchor
on the 440-Relay team and
run the 100-yard dash, Se
vigne said.
Cliff Forbes, the other
I-Iusker sprint star, will con
centrate on the 220 and the

Husker fans will also have
a chance to see two of the
Big 8's finest hurdlers in

champion Dave Kudron and
former indoor king, Ray

Butch Terell of Lincoln (pictured in rodeo action
above), won the title of all-round cowboy at the Garden
City Rodeo at Garden City, Kan., this week.
Terell placed second in calf roping, fourth in bareback
bronc riding and fifth in bull riding, while nine other Uni
versity students competed in the rodeo.

Beta Theta Pi entrants
amassed 103 points to garn
er first place in the all-Uni
braska Olympian, Keith
Gardner.
Gardner didn't hit that
mark until the summer of
1958 in an international
meet at Goteborg, Sweden,
following his graduation.
Byers, a shorty at 5-9 for
a high-hurdler, is j u s t a
sophomore. He already
holds the world indoor
mark for the 60 lows and
he just keeps improving out
doors in the highs, clipping
six-tenths off his clocking in
three meets as he works on
his form.
Ard, who is proving to be
one of the most versatile
in the Big Eight with his
jumping and sprinting du
ty, gave the Conference its
first 50-foot-plus triple jump
since 1958 when he went 50
4Vfe last week. This was the
fourth best leap in league
annals. Another Kansan,
Kent Floerke, has the all
time lead with his 50-10,
which now appears within
Ard's range. He'll have a
