Track team improves as man lettermen return. Alan Sist hands the relay baton to John Messier. Quarter milers A. Sist, J. Baumann, and R. Ford set for a start. Rich Hutson and Joe Ripmaster will put the shot this season. This year's track team should show a marked im- provement over last season's 1-7 record. Many Varsity and Varsity Reserve trackmen return to Coach Zulch's squad. The team will participate in more meets than ever before. Two weeks after practice began, an indoor meet was held at Michigan State. To get the team into good physical condition, Coach Zulch held morning and after school practices. The team is very strong in the quarter-mile, and the mile relay team of Baumann, Ford, Sist, and Messier will have a good chance at breaking the existing state record. Mitch Slobodnik will handle pole vaulting duties ad- mirably, and Rich Hutson and Joe Ripmaster will put the shot. Lynn Harper, Alan Sist, and Rod Ford have good chances to break the school records in the 100, 200, and 440 yard runs. Dick Falconer and Jim Hearn will handle the longer half mile and mile distances.
