Second row: Ken Chids, Don Sasser, Granville Chadwick, Caryl Rigsby, THHEK TEHHIS This year's track teams, though slow in starting, turned in some fine performances in the later meets, especially at the league meeting at Trona. The AU class team showed steady improvement through the season, placing fourth in the league meet at Trona. Frank Zarzana. Bob Perdue, a consistent winner in the 880-yard dash, holds the league record in this event. Bob Collins also turned in consistent per- formances in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. Doing especially well this year, the Bn team placed second in the league meet at Trona. Individual honors in the B class should go to Gordon Zurn who broke the league record in the 660-yard dash, and placed consistently in this event during the season, Arlen Barber, who placed first consistently in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, Dewey Dunaway who did especially well in the pole vault, and Bob Hestand who did a fine job in the low hurdles. Much credit is due the boys on the B teams who did especially well in athletic events during the year. Though small in number and size, the C team took two Hrst places in the league meet, to place fifth in league standing. Bernard Partridge in the 660-yard dash, and Howard Hill in the pole vault made good show- ings and should prove invaluable to Burroughs in the future. Nmef sm c n

TEHHI TEHHI The 1948 Tennis Team, Burroughs' third, got under wa at the completion of the basketball season with eight of the Desert Dcnke 's original team answering the call of Coach Cain. The Number One Doubles was taken over by the two Seniors who won the Desert-Inyo League Doubles last year, Bob Bowles and Jim Shortt. This position was hotly contested by a new doubles combination composed of a 1947 singles player, Bert Andreason and a newcomer to the Burroughs tennis scene, Rusty Richards. Taking over the Number Three Doubles were two more bovs making this their second tennis season, Richard Breitenstein and Tom Welch. The singles line-up was the scene of a great deal of competition with the appearance of two Freshmen threats to the upperclassmen position. Jim Simpson and Joe Brown both give the appearance of promise and should be a great asset to the team in a couple of years, while Jack Godett seems to be the boy to watch among the Upper Classmen in Singles after Billy Peirson and Rusty Richards, who have both played in the Number One Singles this year, have graduated. In addition to these who have played competition meets there are several boys who can't be passed up and will bear keeping in mind as tournament material. They are Jim Temple, Bill Morley, Eugene Breiten- stein and Dick Haquist. N znety nzne
