THE track season of 1911 is somewhat a matter of history, but the sprit which pervades a track season is always new and yet ever old. The hard grind of early training with its bandaged ankles, stiff limbs, sore backs and dizziness from over-exertion, is a thing never to be forgotten by the follower of the cinder path. It is the same cry of "no pastry," "no smoking." "no late dates" each season. It is a sport where it is either clean living or defeat. Nebraska track athletes during 1911, though not winners of the Missouri Valley title, had one of the best all-around teams in the Valley. We had a live wire of a coach in Osmond Field, and he turned out a scrappy team under the leadership of Captain Reed. It was as clean a bunch of athletes as ever represented a college that fought Amos, Kansas, and Minnesota. Though they were not always victorious they proved themselves to be one of the best all-around teams in the Valley. Captain Reed and Anderson were the individual stars of the season. Both did such superior work that western critics have accorded them a place on the Olympic team to represent the United States in Stockholm during the summer of 1912. The entire team deserves a place in the memory of Nebraska students as one of the pluckiest that ever fought under the Scarlet and Cream.
