Although the little Trojans lost their first meet to Rincon by a few points, they came back to smother Sunnyside by nearly fifty points. Lacking in depth and experience were the main problems. Coach Lee Morton said that he needed more weight men. Mel Coons, one of the frosh teanfs better distance runners, took two firsts in the Sunnyside meet. Caiy Bimson, the top pole vaulter, took first in both meets. ighppmnifaex 19111, 4 ,i,, 1 ' Ig? .

Junior Cindermen Down Arch Rival Rincon 63-50 Catalinais junior Varsity track squad opened the season with two straight victories by defeating arch rival Rincon 60-53 and by completely outclassing the Salpointe Lancers 103-9. This yearis jayvees are shoot- ing for Catalinais third straight junior varsity city cham- pionship. Catalina's previous teams fl96O, l96lQ swept the earlier championships. Although this yearis team is a well balanced one, a shortness of hurdlers and splinters may hurt the team, but Coach Kiser expects these obstacles to be over- come with a lot of practice. Sprinters Greg Jones, a transfer from Louisiana, Richard jaehne, along with distance men Van Lawler, George Cunningham will form a strong nucleus for a winning team. X' Coach Bill Kaiser is the junior Varsity coach and instructs all the freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity weight men in throwing the shot and disc. He is also head line coach for varsity football in the fall. When he's not instructing athletes he teaches boys f physical education and health. ' at-L7 il! 1 .v - i .ffwzwv if SING-Ci' ,-.

Donner Paces Harriers to Fourth Place in State Lack of depth in the Catalina cross countly squad led to a 2-2 dual meet record. Although two time state champion john Do-nner came in first in every meet this year, the important fourth and fifth men who have many times decided the outcome of a meet couldn't be found to match the speed of the first three. The two wins came against Tucson and Amphi while the two losses came from this yearis state champion, Bincon, and the Pueblo VVarriors. In the annual Turkey Day Run for schools in the Tucson area, Catalina finished with a third place out of the six entries. VVinding up the season, the Trojan harriers placed fourth in the state championship meet at Phoenix, where john Donner took first place for the second time, equalizing the record he set last year. This was the third time a Trojan has placed first in the state meet. Next year,s squad will be bolstered by returning lettermen George Cunningham, Carl Bowlby, and Bill Masimer, who greatly aided this year's team during its meets and helped land this yearfs fourth place berth in the state. Coach Bell is looking forward to another winning season. , ' , 4 . 9, Q, f' ' Q , f - M3 f - f 4 4- . ' 'arf g'?75?f, , - ' ' - , 1- . , 54 ,g1gf,, . an at' ' ' S , , . ' , gt, f .e,4y4f,f .
