With a returning squad of veteran tracksters, Man- tcca again had a successful Held season under the strict supervision of Coach Laurence Sicmering. The Buffalo squad trained diligently before the Eve track meets in which they participated. Although the local boys took first and seconds in their events, they lacked the members needed to enter and win a large number of contests. At the Oakdale-Tracy-Manteca meet here, the Buf- faloes looked hot as they brought in eight firsts and eight seconds, but Oakdale won the meet with 137 points to Manteca's 83 and Tracy's 18. Mantecans to take firsts were as follows: Wilson, Class A 100-yard dash in 10.3 seconds, and 220 dash, Duran, B hurdles, Jackson, 1320 in 3 minutes and 33.3 seconds, Correa the pole vault, Jim Poulos the football throw, Brockman tied for tops in B broadjumpg and a relay unit of Brockman, Duran, Silva, and Morris led the pack.

TRACK Starting out with seven members of last yearls win- ning club and developing other prospects, Coaches Larry Siemering and Stan Hawkins formed a strong unit. The Buffaloes began practice during the basketball season, gaining a lot in ball experience. But several early scheduled games were rained out, and a week's vaca- tion during Easter was untimely. Following the layoff, Siemering lost a sad 3 to 2 game to Ceres after leading 2 to 1 in the final inning. Friday of the same week, after some practice, the locals de- feated the Modesto Panthers in an exciting 4 to 3 tilt. The next Friday Manteea subdued a Hughson nine in a wild 7 to 6 clash. As I-Iughson has defeated Hilmar, and Ceres has taken Oakdale, Manteca has a good chance for the league title. Backing up the excellent pitching of Bronzan were: catcher, Baturing in the infield, Reiger, Theiler, Mini- aci and Hubbard, and in the outfield, Liebhart, Bor- denave, and Pedersen.
