Also scoring for De Paul were Lloyd Bradley and Iohn Dickman. Monnelly, Iohnson and Kilbourne received medals in the senior meet as did the first six Demon Harriers in the Iunior Event. ln all it was a very fine season, and Coach Cannon deserves a great deal of credit for the way he took over the coaching reins, where Tom Meehan and Tom McCarthy left off.
