The champs Will begin writing a new chapter this week and the story should be much the same. The champs Coach.

Ed Weir's University of Nebraska track and field forces should have another potent scoring machine on hand. Starting next Saturday when Coach Weir sends his charges Into action at the Kansas relays, the groundwork will be laid for the Huskers. to continue capturing titles and. championships. In Big Six conference history, or among the dusty annuals of Missouri Valley records for that matter, no team has equalled Nebraska's triumphs in recent years.

This current outdoor season finds the Ornhuskers trying for their seventh consecutive indoor and outdoor championship. Only Herb Grote, now In the armed services, who contributed a first place In the Javelin; Ray Prochaska, who counted for 8 points In the shot and discus; Dole Oarrels, who brought in three more tallies with a third In the two mile; Harold Scott and Walter Nye, the latter now serving In Ireland, who scpred a point and one-half in between them In the pole vault; are missing at the Husker camp. Littler on Sidelines. Bohby.Glniu Harold Hunt. Smutx, Ralph King, Don Morris, Eugene Littler, Arden Kersey, Thompson and Vic Schlelch are all ready to go again.

All with the exception of of Littler, who won't be allowed out on the track for another week until he improves sufficiently from a recent prunjonia attack. Then there are thos 'fiPwAm-ers: Howard Debus, the field event expert; Bill Conner, crack quarter-miler; Taul Johrde, two-miler; Paul Davidson, 440 prep champ, and on down the line. Coach Weir wasn't sure, as several of the Huskers warmed up of doors Saturday afternoon, Just how many performers he would take along on the trip to Lawrence this week. Hunt Eyes Record. He plans entries iu Hi half mile, two mile and distance medley relays.

Of course, the specialists will get their chance to operate as well. Harold Hunt, who already has been out once and who has the Texas relay crown and a new rec would be encountered if the as sienment involved Polntinrr only that of nomi naUng Lincoln's tlnrjeryu Ail-Time Great" Eh Mdckett in sport So here to point finger not the slightest hesitation is in order the man this column has in mind. Without fear of so much as an approach to successful contradiction, the choice goes to Ebenezer Mockett, best known, to his thou sands of capital city friends and acquaintances as plain "Ed." In his begin nlng teens, in Ihe "way back when" period if the early '80s, Eb Mockett was displaying un mlstskable ilgns of developing (unusual a 1 tits Kk MaraurM. and versatility in (un of rugged athletics. The roller skating era was just getting its start in this town and.

almost before the roller colony was aware of what had transpired, Eb Mockett had established himself as the swiftest of the scooter boys on Lincoln rinks. EB WAS equally fast, too, on the ice, but his interest in skating took flight vith the installation of bicycling as the more exciting pastime. Bohanon's hall at Tenth and streets was converted into an indoor racing arena and the capital city's first Csrid sporting fratern a ity was many V'Opiam times entertained Nebraska U. Lincoln's Eb Mockett and Omaha's Willie Pixley clashed, in a series of speed battles in the Bohanon bowl. But the flight of time had some thing more important in its brew pot The thrilling sport of college football was about to make its bow at the University of Nebraska.

The first Nebraska team which competed in intercollegiate circles was organized In December of 1890 and the' following month- yes In January saw the" Nebras ka "Bugeaters" they're Corn-huskers now) lugging inflated pig skins -across opposing goals. All of which makes it incumbent to chronicle here that the first captain of that first Nebraska eleven was Halfback Eb Mockett formerly of xJncoln high. By way of demonstrating the success of. bis leadership, the captaincy of the second Nebraska team was again conferred by his on the self-same Eb. TN MOCKETT'S first cycle brushes wnen pitted against as previously related, the contraption possessed of the high front wheel to fall from one was much like tumbling from a sec ond-story window was the only vehicle the racing sport knew; But time, still grinding along, later witnessed the introduction of the modern cycle, All-Tim known to the trade n.w T- 8 the "ordinary" w.ouim the machine Local Sport with two wheels oi equal dimensions.

And there was Eb again, racing with renewed vigor and quite as successfully as in his previous exploits wnen percnea on the saddle of the original high wheel. By way of coming in with a "Believe It Or Not" it must be entered in the record, here and now, that Lincoln once had its fling at the sport of lacrosse, a game originated and introduced by the nation's first citizens, the American Indians. In all events, Eb Mockett was in it with all the enthusiasm and skilf which made him a standout in other branches of competitive sports. With the introduction of bowling and the installation in 1900 of Lincoln's first public alleys, Mockett's interest turned to the sport of toppling the ten-pins. SureVnough, Eb continued to be one of the leaders.

Yes, indeed, one of the very best; Once a champion, always a champion. That was Eb Mockett, Lincoln's "All Time Great" in sports.

Garfls hold Browns to four hits White, Gumbcrt hurl 7 to 2 win CasnNM rraea Trm Dtspalnses. Getting the kind of brilliant pitching with which they expect to win the National league pennant, the St. Loula Cardinals defeated the Browns of the American league Saturday, 7 to 2. In the opener of their annual two game series. Southpaw Ernie White yielded only two harmless singles In the first five innings and IJghthander Harry Gumbcrt followed with three no hit frames before the Browns came thru in the ninth to score on a double, a single and an error.

The Cardinals raked the Browns' pitching aces, Bob Muncrief and Elden Auker, for 11 hits and. what was most pleasing to the fans who are concerned over the team's offensive power, three hits each came from the bats of Martin Ma rion and Stan Muslal.

Eddie Kelly of Beatrice urges anglers to go up the Blue river valley above DeWitt, where the water is clearer than downstream. Several good catches have been reported there.

A group of men from Alexandria have had fair luck in the Alexandria lakes. William Lytle, acting secretary of the state game commission, and L. P.

Detroit bagged three goals the first night, got four the second and then splurged with five, each time limiting the Leafs to two. All individual scoring honors are in possession of Center Don rosso of Detroit with eight goals and 13 points. He already has matched one league record and la within a point of equallying another. If the Leafs win Sunday, the fifth game would be played at Toronto Tuesday, with the clubs alternating on home ice for the final two. National (Continued from Page 1-B.)
