Skip Miller, consistent point getter in the weights, and Gordon Holst, rapidly improving half miler. were the monogram winners returning to another season of campaigning on the oval. Several promising speedsters came up from the fine junior high squad of last year, Prospects were good with about 40 aspirants turning out for the thinclad corps.
