If other web sources (wikipedia) are accurate, this would be "Fairfax Airport" in Kansas City, Kansas.

Paxton Pattison Hibben (December 5, 1880 - December 5, 1928) had a short but eventful career as a diplomat, journalist, author and humanitarian. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxton_Hibben

Thematically related to adjacent pictures of Armenian, later Russian, relief official William N. Haskell and his wife. From Wikipedia " In 1919 Hibben joined a military mission in Armenia to assist in relief efforts there to rescue a destitute population. He was deeply impressed with the suffering of the Armenians, and when that crisis was followed by a full-scale famine in Southwest Russia in 1921, Hibben marshaled all his resources to assist in famine relief."

I believe this picture was taken in Memorial Stadium. I don't think Nebraska had a dedicated track facility prior to 1975 when Ed Weir Track was built.

Under the east section of the stadium there is a small track. They had meets there during inclement weather. I remember going there with my father. As I recall, they did everything but pole vault due to the low ceiling. Its been about 10 years since I've been in the "mushroom gardens" as it was called. Before Ed Weir, they ran outdoor meets inside the stadium proper. You'd run straight along the east and west side of the football field, then run around the sweeping curves at the north and south ends. There used to be storage areas on the the north and south ends of the east and west stadiums. These areas stored the hurdles and gear the meets needed. I remember seeing javelins, shots, discus, being stored in the equipment room in the north stadium building that had the clock on it. That building is gone now.

Here is a little additional information on the "mushroom gardens", and the rec center that replaced them. media.www.dailynebraskan.com/media/storage/paper857/news/...
