BARNETT JOHNSON QUINN Hurdles, Broad Jump Mile, Half Mile Mile, Half Mile TRACK An unusually weak and unbalanced Hendrix College track team fought its way through a brief inter- collegiate season last spring to bring up the rear in scoring in dual meets with Tech and State Teachers, and to place second in a triangular meet with the the University of Arkansas and College of the Ozarks, and fourth in the state college meet held here May 1 and 2. On April 7 at Conway in the opening meet of the season, Arkansas Tech captured eleven first places and tied for two more to amass a total of 7814 points and defeat Hendrix by a 30-point margin. The Warriors’ only clean victories were in the 880-yard and mile runs, although they divided points with Tech for first places in the pole vault and high jump. The triangular affair was the second contest and was run off at Hurie Field, College of the Ozarks, under adverse weather conditions on April 14. Arkansas won the meet with a total of 76 points, Hendrix was second with 61 and Ozarks trailed with 21. The events were held during a cold, misty rain and north wind and consequently the meet was unusually slow.

James FRASER ; : ; . : P : Guard Fraser, another freshman, earned his varsity letter in his first year on the Hendrix squad. His defenseive play and handling of the ball | was nothing short of sensat:onal throughout the season. He will with- | out a doubt be a luminary on the 1935 Warrior quintet and should be all-state material before his graduation. DeWitt SmitH ; ; : f ‘ : : Center Smith, a freshman, broke into the Warrior line-up at the begin- ning of the season and performed consistently at the p‘vot position. | During his next three years at Hendrix he should develop into one of the best centers in Warrior history. His defensive play was at times spectacular and he was always a dependable scorer. J. E. Griner eo ag eae ea ner eres Forward Griner, a freshman, developed rapidly as the season progressed and should show up well next season. Although he fa‘led by only a nar- row margin to earn his letter he was a valuable man to the squad. His defensive play was consistently good and he made several beautiful shots from the court. He should be a regular varsity forward in 1935. Yost McKINNEY . A : ? : ; Forward McKinney, at center and forward, performed well in his last Hen- drix season. Although he was used only as a substitute, his services were valuable to the Warrior machine. He will graduate in June after having worn the uniform of the Grovemen for only two seasons. Coach Grove and the 1935 Warriors will undoubtedly miss him next year. Forty-five
