Boasting more honors and holding a greater number of records than any form of athletics in B.l-l.S. today is the swimming team. lt is indeed a most opportune time for this team to ascend from hiding to the highlights of a champion. This team is the only one in lnterscholastic history to ever win the State Championship two years in succession. lt might be added that this enviable record has been established in the last two years, that this is the only team to ever capture a state title in the history of the school. lay Alkire, Ed. Harding, Dick Westkaemper, Prank Scott, Rell Scott, lack Snipes, Richard Newman and lack Tolar, Ir., are the boys to whom credit is due. With an enviable record behind them and an excellent chance of adding to this auspi- cious record, the Brackenridge Eagles are well represented in the department of golf. Under the capable tutoring of Coach Sinclair and Coach Lehmberg the Eagle golfers have progressed along the road to golf supremacy. Robert Cavanaugh, Gilbert Cavanaugh, Paul A. Lockhart, Bobby Chestnut, and Harry Verberne are the boys who made the elite golfers' squad. Widely acclaimed and recognized as a beneficial interest to the school, the intramurals launched their varied campaign of sports with a great amount of success this year. Among the various forms of athletics are basketball, football, track, swimming, baseball, handball, tennis, and golf. Emblems were presented the winners of each of these sports. Company D of the R.O.T.C'. was victorious in the football division. Sixth period won the title in the basketball bracket. Frank Means and Bobby Freedman were the champs in the tennis eliminations.

Minus the dynamic strength that usually accompanies a Brackenridge track team, the Eagle tracksters did, to a cer- tain degree, relinquish their, heretofore, firm hold on the track crown. Finishing fourth in the Border Olympics, the Brack- enridge cinder pounders an- nexed nine points. ln the Alamo Heights Invitation Track Meet the Eagles were led by galloping Tommy Tope as they racked up 40 points, placing second be- hind the Ieff Nags who had 53 points. Iames Strong and lack Daniels both turned in sparkling performances. Em- met Howe was spectacular because of the fact that he consistently broke the record in the mile run in every meet he entered. ,,......----- 1 Q. .xii sa, Looming large and favor- ably as they entered the City Meet the Eagle squad lashed out with astonishing and tell- ing effect. The Birds fell in line, however, behind the great running machine of the lefferson Mustangs as they finished second in this meet. Of notable importance this year was the lack of capable sprinters which was costly to the struggling Birds. Tommy Tope, however, proved his worth as a hustling hoofster by grab- bing three first places, the high and low hurdles and the high jump, enabling him to finish as individual high scorer. Charles Seidemann, Iohn Cullen, and Leslie Ger- mer were instrumental in the Eagles' gallant attempt to gain track supremacy. -Pat Maloney 8 fe ' TOP TRACK TEAM Ilzleift, Pgatt, I-lifcgldvegai seated: Smppenbqckl I3 P f Brackenridge dis- tance runners.
