Frankford. Kaiser. Barnhart. Groesbeck. Smith. Goetch. Restool. Hack. Spring CROSS COUNTRY Although Coach XVinston's harriers suffered several defeats in 1031. they won the Five A League Championship. the City Championship with Central. and placed Maxim Kaiser second in the State Cross Country Meet at Ypsilanti. In the dual meet on September 26. the Quakers took revenge for the defeat which was administered them by Central in 1930 by trouncing the West Siders with a score of 34-21. Captain Stuart Frankford and Maxim Kaiser tied for first place. setting a new record for the two-mile course. They ran it in 10:50. During the following two weeks the teams journeyed to Flint and Kalamazoo. respectively. They were defeated in both of these engagements by a very close score. The outstanding performer of these two meets was Kaiser. who won first place in both of them. setting a new course record each time. For all the effort spent in grooming themselves for the Five A League Meet on October 17 at Battle Creek. they were well rewarded. They won the meet with ease, placing live men. and again Kaiser set a new course record. After the Five A League Meet came the Regional Meet at Flint. The Quakers did not fare so well in the motor city-they ended nearer the bottom than the top. Kaiser was the only lad to qualify for the State Meet and although only a junior. he took second place. Captain Frankford and Donald Smith are graduating, but with the return of the others a fine spirit is expected next fall. Page One Hundred Thirty-nine ...K . .LW '
