The sea- son was completed with a large majority of the meets entered, recorded as wins. The team entered into many sectional, state, and local meets as well as competing in the national indoor and outdoor meets. The squad developed into a well balanced team of athletes. Redel, llliller, Thomp- son, Kosek, llaresh and De Silva, made a wonderful half-mile and mile relay team. Ifach man of this group was also capable of running the dashes or the quarter. The combination of Tanga-man, Vesely, Ridgeway and Koselc in the two mile relay, could at any time be split to garner points in the half or mile run. To balance these was the star vaulting, high-jumping, and broad jumping trio of Knapp, Christy and Boyer. If Coach Kelly could have developed a hurdler and a weight, discus or javelin man, he would have had an unbeatable team. During the course of the season, after the Drake, Grinnell, and Independence meets, Cedar Rapids placed second to Algona in the Cedar Falls meet. This is the first time that Cedar Rapids has been defeated within Iowa in seven years, and was probably due to an irregularity of the starter in the IOO yard dash. The Tigers did not enter the state meet at Des Bloines. They had previously won from East Des Moiiies, the champions, in two different meets. llonograms were awarded to Captain Illiller, Captain-elect Redel, Boyer, Ridge- way, Yesely, Koselc, Tangeman, Knapp, Thompson, hlaresh, Christy, and De Silva.
