HE start of the 1926 track season brought with it many notable performances. Among them was the breaking of the world's record for the 880-yard relay by the Nebraska team at the Kansas Relays, April 17, at Lawrence. The members of the quartet that ran the distance in 1:26.6 were Hein, Locke, Davenport and Dailey. At the same meet Locke tied the world's record for the 100-yard dash at 9 3-5 seconds. At the Drake Relays, April 24, he broke the 100-yard dash record, running it in 9 5,10 seconds. He ran on a wet track but was aided by a high wind so the record may not stand. Wirsig broke the Nebraska record in the pole vault, clearing the bar at almost thirteen feet.
