One of the most memorable ad ventures in the life of Harrison "Sam" Francis came from his hopes and ambitions of some day competing in the Olympic games. The summer after bis junior year in high school, when 17, he went to Fort Morgan, to visit nis parents, Mr.

and Mrs. V. A. Francis. After a month's inactivity, restless, Sam'l, lured by the Olympic games which figured so large in his dreams, after overcoming strenuous parental opposition, beat his way to Los Angeles with four other youths of his age.

"Bumming" meals and hopping freights tne five boys, eacn ine proud possessor of a 33 bill, started southward toward New Mexico, California bound. They met some bonafide hobos the first day out who scared us to death," but most fellow travelers were youths like themselves. On the afternoon of the fourth day they arrived in Raton, N. where they were kicked off the train. While strolling about the town they came into conversation with a Mexican.

Altho they made no requests from that unlikely looking gentleman, he must have gathered from their appearance and conversation something of their financial status and occupation of the moment, for he gave them a dollar. First Chance at Bed. Elated by this, the boys Indulged in the only "luxury" of the entire trip. They rented a 75 cent room, cleaned up, and for the first time in four days, slept in a bed. "That poor bed," recalls Sam.

"There was no danger of falling out. It was so low in the middle that after we got Into the thing, we had to climb out over the edge." Next mofnlng, practicing extreme frugality with their slim resources, the boys "hit a breadline." But the food was pretty bad and they found it necessary to cash one of the 39 bills. The bill they chose for this had been carefully placed in a shoe of its owner's at the beginning of the trip. Four days of travel left It so dirty and stained that the boys had to try several stores before they succeeded In convincing someone tnat it reauy was a gen uine piece of money. leaving Raton in tne ice com partment of an empty refrigerator car, they arranged for one of the group to be awake at all times.

Jack Hyland Only JUNF, pr AN VITHA 53 SAM'S LIFE STORY When the Olymplo games were held In Loe Angelea In 1932 there was a young man who would have traded almost anything ha had for a chance to slip by those gates. That lad waa 8am Francis. With several high achool pale, Sam "bummed" his way to Los Angalss but couldn't afford a ticket when he got there. It dldnt cost anything to watoh tha various- Olymplo team members praotloe, so Sam watehsd. This and mere is Included In this week's chapter of Sam'a biography.

They had heard legends of hobos starving to death when the trap door entrances to ice compartments had been closed upon them. The plans were good, but the youthful bodies were pttA, and all fell asleep. They awoke to find themselves sidetracked on a lonely siding eight burning miles from the nearest haven, Topic, N.

M. Haunted by fears of sunstroke or death from torturous thirst, the boys made their way to Topic. Their first desire waa to obtain a drink of water, and they did at 8 cents per cup. Deciding from this experience that they wanted to get out of the desert as quickly as possible, and in the absence of a westbound freight, they started hitch hiking to Needles. The first car to come along stopped for them, and altho the driver "bawled them out" for trying to hike across the desert, they were finally deposited in Needles.

Several attempts to leave Needles by train were unsuccessful due to the vigilance of railroad officials, so they hitch hiked on to Los Angeles. Tried to Get Work. Arriving there they tried to get work so they could earn enough money to see some of the events of the Olympic games, but voune and travel stained, were rebuffed at every attempt. So they didn't get, to see the Olympic games, after all their hardships. "It was pretty hard to take.

says Sam, "but we did get to see workouts of teams from various BRETZER FEATURES CITY TABLH TENNIS Tourney in Quarterfinals of All Divisions at Lindell Sunday.

The first important step, of course, Is a survey of the field of desirable candidates, then definite choice, followed by an agreement as to conditions and terms between the members of the university athletic council and the candidate favored for the vacancy. That much accomplished, the council must acquire the ap proval of the university chan' cellor and board of regents. This latter step, most essential of alL represents a stroke of wisdom, for if the. chancellor's inquiry as to the background of the athletic council's choice should fall to be convincing, the council could have but one alternative it must renew its quest for a director-coach able to measure up to the chancellor's demand that the ulti mate selection shall involve i man of such character and all around fitness as to be worthy of the institution.

All of which means that the Nebraska system involves a check by the athletic council and a double-check by the executive head of the school, a dual arrangement which tends to block all suggestions of snap judgment a safeguard against mistakes. NOW that Major Lawrence Jones has been installed as head man of athletics afr Ne assuming the duties performed by his Illustrious predecessor, Dana Bible, I suspect it may Interest the Nebraska public to be informed concerning the close relations of another uni versity president. Dr. Bizzell of Oklahoma, with the careers of the two Cornhusker directors, present and past. At the time Dana Bible came from Texas A.

M. to Nebraska eight years ago, Dr. Bizzell was president of the Texas institution. As the years supped along, ur, Bizzell transferred his activities to Oklahoma to accept the presi dencv of the university of the Sooner state. As head of Texas A.

it was his great pleasure to assure Chancellor Burnett of Nebraska that Dana Bible was the type of man and coach whom the corn husker institution was seeking, auite as he did when the Ne braska chancellor subsequently sought the advice of the Oklahoma president as to the char acter and qualities of Major Jones. The Bissell recommenaauon of Bible worked oat so well in the ease of D. X. that Major Jones, also commended highly by the Oklahoma executive, surely Is stepping in at Nebraska under favorable auspices. CASTING a glance at the wall calendar yesterday brought the realization that an event of no little importance to Lincoln will be with us after the lapse of the present week.

Possibly you guessed right the first If not, the event I have in mind is the annual championship carnival of the high school basketeers of the Cornhusker commonwealth, scheduled for March 10-13 at the state uni versity coliseum. The eyes of the enure state will be trained en the capital city during the four beetle daya of that tournament, which makes It apparent that Lincoln's reputation and prestige will saffer If It falls to measure bb to Its responsibilities, both In patronage and hospitality. rpHE state tournament idea was I conceived by tne university athletic department more than quarter century ago and dur- lng every subsequent year, with a single exception, the university has been host to the high school -youths during their annual com-J petitilon. On that basis, with such a his torical background, it is fitting- that the university should con- tinue to be the tournament scene. Not this year alone, but all future Lincoln, 1 feel sore, takes a rightful pride In the university, which puts It up to Lincoln to take grips en the tow-rope and give It a sturdy pull, to the end that the 1931 tournament may achieve auch a success that Lincoln's retention -ef the event will sot In the future be a matter ef donbL CRETE FIREMEN HOLD AMATEUR BOXING BOUTS CRETE, Neb.

Four years later Sam Francis led the American contingent in the shot put events of the Olym pic games in Germany and waa lauded and honored ail over Bur ope and the United States a far different picture than that of an unkempt youth hovering about the outskirts of Los Angeles stadium, snatching glimpses of great athletes, dreaming of the day when he could enter competition with the world's best and wishing des perately that someone would let him earn enough money to pay bis way into tne stadium. The trip back to Colorado was comparatively uneventful, the two of the five Sam aays he wasn't one or them spent a couple ox days in the Needles jail for "riding the blinds" of a fast passenger. The boys were gone three weeks on the trip and. Sam lost 2 pounds. Winds up Career.

He went back to Oberlln that fall to wind up a brilliant high school career. As in his junior year, he won the state titles in the discus and shot events. The shot nut has always been his favorite. Officials of his high school say, "No day was too hot or too cold for Sam to work out with the shot" His senior year, after winning the state titles, Sam entered the national lnterscholastic track meet in Chicago and on June 23, 1933, handicapped by a leg gashed from knee to groin in a pole vaulting accident a few weeks before, tossed tha shot 63 feet 3 Inches to win the national title. The discus event followed immediately after the ahot put, but Sam was too excited with his newly won laurels and fouled on every attempt He might have won the discus crown, too, for the Wichita youth who carried off the honor had been beaten bySam twice before in state meets.

In a Fourth of July exhibition in Oberlin later that summer, after the injured leg had healed, Sam boosted the shot 66 feet, nearly three feet beyond his title mark. About this time Sam was spend ing many of his waking hours trying to decide whether to continue his education and athletic competition at Nebraska or Kan- s. Tne factors entering into ms decision will be revealed in the fourth chapter of his life story in next Sunday's Journal and Star. thruout the season and led the Maroons to occasional upset victories.

Mao Campbell of Omaha Central played in dandy style, but waa buried on a mediocre team, altho his deadly basket eye forced Valley teams to the limit before conquer ing the Purples. Billy Hatpin, Abraham Lincoln's clever forward, waa one of the main cogs in the Lynx machine which won a pair of games from the vaunted Omaha South quintet Al Randall, South's six foot seven and one-half inch center, paced the pivot performers. Randall controled the tip almost at will and his effective work under either bucket was the big reason why Omaha South made its impressive showing. It waa a rare game, indeed, when the gianu racKer xauea 10 score ten points.

Frame Friar, Abranam Lincoln, won his spurs with effective long range sniping and fine under basket play. Don Fleming, Sioux City East, shifted from forward to center and provided the punch which pulled the Black Raiders out of the cellar and well up in conference standings after a disastrous start Probably the best rear court combination seen In the league in recent years Was formed by the pair of dusky guards working with Coach Cornle Collin's South high outfit Ace Breakfield and Virgil Williams, both veterans from last year's championship team, proved to be a tough nut for opposing forwards to crack, while Williams did much of the South scoring. Hylsnd Lone Choice. Jack Hyland is the lone Lincoln player to capture a place on the roll. Hyland, despite his comparative lack of stature, seemingly has springs in his legs and won praise as the most valuable performer on the Capital City outfit Warren Radtke, Abraham Lin coln, used his height effectively in taking the ball off the backboard and teamed with Halpln and Friar to turn out the best Lynx outfit since Matt Walsh's graduation four seasons back.

Charles Vacanti, Omaha Tech's doughty back court performer, came up with fine play Eleven Chosen On Annual All Star List of -Players. XISSOUBI VAIXKT UONOB SOU. raardn Bin lihta. Abraham LIb- int Dick Htar, Slau City Ccatrali Mae unptteu, Omaha (Mitral. Ocatarai Al RaaMl.
