fffwfi RW' BLUE FW? GULD Efrark 55 HIS year West Seattle's track team was characterized by its numerous lettermen. Having no individual star to rely upon, we found it necessary to build a Team to win our 'a meets. Coach Brinck, who faced the task, developed the best track squad in West Seattle's history. Nearly all the marks es- tablished by previous W. S. men were broken, especially in the field events. Art Gobler raised the high jump record to 5 ft. 9 in.: Lind- man stretched the shot put distance to 44 ft.3 Bill Kirk bettered the broad jump mark with a leap of 19 ft. 6 in.: while Brandt the star discus heaver, bids well to beat the ll7-ft. record established last year. On the track, records are not falling so fast and far. However, as proof of our 'Ateam qualities, this year's 880-yd. relay team, com- posed of Bruton, Kirk, Thurlow and Griffin, established a new mark in that event. Although the season is young and our strength untested, W. S. bids fair to finish among the upper three in the line of the All-City meet. If this is accomplished it will be the best showing W. S. has ever made in track. Nfggjm

BLUE and GOLD HOWARD HIGHTOWER, outfielder, broke into a few games but he was most valuable coaching at first base. He has a good chance to make a reg- ular position next year. HENRY PASCI-IKE, catcher, was a fight- ing backstop. He was always there in the pinches and had a lot of experi- ence. He graduates this year. ERNEST TORRAN E, assistant manager, h the hari' this year.

He was also a capable performer at the plate. He is only a Sophomore and all he lacks is experience. BUD DOHERTY, third baseman, lac-ked experience in fielding but made up for it in hitting. If he brings his fielding up to a par with his hitting he will be a valuable man. BOB BEATTEAY, second base. played his second year on the team. He was an outfielder last year but was con- verted into an infielder this year and held that position down well. He didn't get hitting stride until late but then he hit the apple. N597
