rl- I, I - - Il- iinlin l i Tl .lm tm Track Team A formidable schedule presented itself to the track men last year, besides the numerous inter-school meets, the ihfT001'ChE2lli men entered several other important meets, among which the most important were: The Northern Indiana Conference at South Bendg sectional meet at Gleason field, Garyg the state meet at Bloomington, National Interscholastic meet at Stagg field, Vniversity of Chicago, the Patten Indoor meet at Northwestern University. This squad was one of the best ever produced because of its ability to take points in the runs as well as jumps and with the weights. As a number of last year's men are on the squad again this spring, Coach Moorehead has entered the team in meets where the competition is guaranteed to be very great. Of the several runners taken to Northwestern this spring Jack McVVilliams placed third in the mile, and won a silver watch fob with a large black enameled NU on it. Baseball Team Baseball is rapidly becoming one of the most popular sports. Last season the Hammond infield and outfield worked long and industriously to perfect a real baseball nine. This year practice was started early and there is every indication that the season will be entirely successful. A large number of players remain from last year, for Dickinson and Szopa were the only ones lost by graduation. ln an effort to make baseball more important, games have been scheduled with all the leading schools in the Calumet region. VVe feel sure that the honest and sincere efforts of a team like ours is this year, has done much in bringing favor to baseball. Coach Hutiine became a member of the Detroit Tigers after leaving VVabashg later he returned as a coach. Besides getting Coach Hufhne, there has been a class in baseball added to the school curriculum. Cross-Country Team Two years ago, under the supervision of former coach, Reid, the cross-country run was established as an invitational meet. That year it was won by Hollet of Hammond, giving Hammond one leg of the trophy. This year's cross-country team was equally successful in its attempts. .lack McVVilliams and Phil Breillatt, running for Hammond, placed first and second, respectively. Others of the Hammond team placed near the front of a field of thirty-two run- ners representing four schools, to give Hammond the meet. Other meets besides the invitational were won by the victorious team, which consisted of: Breillatt, lYIcVVilliams, Flbrich, Janos, Melton, Benbow, Rose and Creviston. McVVilliams now holds the record for the two mile and a half course with 121302. The cross-country is now an established institution with a large following. Tennis Team The tennis championship was won last year by Arthur Earl. Earl and Alvin Jurgens represented Hammond in the state meet held in Gary on third and fourth of last June. The team which represented Hammond in the meet did not lose once, making the season a complete success. This year the team is coached by Eugene Bennett and prospects are very bright. Sixteen
