Havens, (i. Brough, Myers. fealhethall A rather unsuccessful season was experienced by the Bobcat cagers this year. The team started working out late because of the extended football season, and the late start plus some stiff competition placed the Bobcats in sixth place in the North Central Conference. The B squad fared better, however, and promises to be a powerful team in the near future.

McConnell. n.ack The Bobcat track team started the 1949 season in a very successful manner by winning first place in the conference with a total of 80 2 3 points. The following week the team traveled to the Aggie Invitational meet, where they gained a great deal of experience but met with very little success. Bill Grove placed fifth in the discus throw, giving the Bobcats their only point. At the District Qualifying Meet the Bobcats placed third. Eleven men were qualified by winning a third place or better in their event. Those who qualified for State were Bob Odell, 440; Bill Grove and Jim Strosnider, discus; Dick Holt, broad jump; 880 relay team; and mile relay team Jim Strcsnider made a third place winning throw in the State meet in the discus. The Mile Relay team, composed of Becker, Glendenning, Kassahn and Odell, placed third. The Bobcat track squad looks as though it has great possibilities for a successful season again this year. Five lettermen returned this year to help the Bobcats along, with many new prospects. The Bobcat thinclads are well outfitted; much new equipment having been added, including warm-up suits, pants, jerseys.
