CARRY PITBALDO TAYLOR JACOBSON WYMAN MODEL C.RIFFIN MCCORD Track EAST was well represented in track las season. Ten men won their letters, this being the largest team in a great many years. The season started with the Interscholastie Meet at Shattuck. Our men, with only two weeks training, did well to get the few points they did. At the Inter-City Meet, however, great improvement was shown. Taylor and McCord simply “ate up” the dashes, while the team tallied in almost every event. The City Meet found Hast at its best. I'nfortunate circumstances made McCord ineligible. In spite of this handicap, Bast made 28 points. Taylor was our individual star, placing in the dashes and running fourth man in the relay.

Baseball THE 1913 Imselmll season was not a success. Although Captain Riley had a fair squad of both new and old men. the support of the student body was lacking.

East had to be content with third place, leaving West and South to fill fourth and fifth positions. Track is a splendid sport. Few sports are its equal in developing speed, endurance and splendid physique. Why is it not possible for East to have at least thirty fellows on the squad? If such a bunch would only start training it would not be hard for East to pick a winning team. Tennis TENNIS aroused much enthusiasm at East last spring. The tournament drew out a large entry list and all the matches were hotly contested. Lamorcaux won the championship while Richardson and Way landed second and third places respectively. In the interscholastic, Richardson had the honor of winning the only point for East, while Lamoreaux and Way each lost in hard-fought matches. The fall tournament drew out some new “sharks which makes the prospect for this spring very bright. Owing to sudden cold weather, the tournament was left uncompleted, with Way and Guernsey in the finals. GUKRNSEY WAY I.AMORRAUX SineUtn
