Flasher Paul Walker (12) goes up for a basket between Akron cagers Bill Stevens and Lonnie Wilson. Harvey Hunt eyes the rebound. (ft » Bob Doll, after his first year as Kent basketball coach, can only look to the future. The Golden Flashes finished the campaign with the worst record in the history of the uni- versity, 2-19. Kent also claimed another mark this past season. They lost eleven of the twelve matches in the Mid-American Conference schedule. The Flashes only victories of the year came over Baldwin-Wallace and Miami. A mistake in evaluating the grades of sopho- more Bob Coen cost the Flashes another win. Kent beat West Virginia Wesleyan, 79-58, in the Canton Invitational Tournament, but the win was forfeited when it was discovered that Coen was ineligible for the contest. Harvey Hunt was the top scorer and rebounder for Doll ' s squad. The 6-6 senior averaged 13 points a game and 10 rebounds.

The first hill is the easiest as the cross country runners start the first leg of their 4-mile run. Track Training Revised Newly arrived from Boston university, head track coach Doug Raymond ran head on into a tough track and country schedule equipped with only the remnants of a sagging squad. He immediately set upon a program to revitalize the track picture and refused to let losses discourage either him- self or his runners. The 1960-61 track season saw KSU ' s colors carried to several national events. Even though they won no honors the team gained the poise and confidence of experience they will need when Raymond ' s improved teams return to represent the school. The cross-country team won four out of nine meets in the regular season and placed fifth in both the Mid-American and the All Ohio meets held at Kent. The varsity track team won only one of the four scheduled meets and placed fifth at the Mid-American Conference meet at Bowl- ing Green. Chief among Raymond ' s plans for strengthen- ing the track picture at KSU is emphasis on year- orUKI o round training and fitness for his runners,.
