The record compiled by Coach Paul Myers' Green and White thinlyclads up to the time the CANNON went to press again proves that the cinder sport is one in which Tech holds sway over all the local schools and quite a few others. too. Opening the dual meet competition for the season. the Teclnnen journeyed to Bloomington April 5 for the season lid-lifter. and brought back a decisive 76-to-33 victory over the downstaters. Kokomos Wildcats were the next to fall before the Big Green. invading the Tech oval April 12 and being repulsed by a TUl,Q-to- count. Wiley of Terre Haute was the last dual meet opponent to face Coach Myers' team. and the Red Streaks were de- feated. 66 to 52. The Creenclads entered the annual city meet as odds- on favorites to win. and did win with 791.6 points. taking their seventh consecutive city title. In this meet two new records were made. both bv Techmen: one a new pole vault mark of 11 feet 714 inchesiby Vifallace Potter: the other. a new mile standard of 4137.1 established by William Yickrey. 18 Competing in the annual Southport Relays for the lirst time May 1. the Tech thinlies walked off with the meet. win- ning with 53154 points. Wlallace Potter set a new record for the vault of 11 feet 3 inches. and another Tech-broken mark was the low hurdle shuttle relay. lowered from 55.5 to 49.5 by Richard Barnhart. Alva Keith. George Trittipo. and James ffhlara. The cindermen traveled to Marion for the Conference meet May 3. There. under inclement weather conditions. they suffered their first defeat of the season when Anderson ousted them from the N.C.C. throne. topping the Techmen by 3 points with a 621,Q-point total. This marked the first time that either Tech or Kokomo did not win the loop crown. Qualifying 14 men and a mile relay team for the state meet. the Creenclads rolled up 66 points to run away with the sectional meet on the home track. May 10. for the seventh straight time. As the CANNON went to press. Coach Myers was drilling his strong state meet squad in preparation with the 1.1-1.S.A.A. carnival on the Tech cinders May 18. The Greenclads received a jolt to their state title hopes when a spike wound that Bob Knowles suffered in the Con- ference meet at Marion re-opened when Bob was taking the lead for Tech. running lead-off on the half-lnile relay team in the sectional. and the quartet failed to place. The half-mile combination had turned in some good times and had been expected to place in the state meet.
