Ha The ' 52 track season was not an outstanding one tor North Park, but the Vikings did have their bright moments. Vaughn Rudnick collected two seconds in the sprints to pace the cindermen to fourth place in the conference meet. Roy Fowler and Junior Young also gar- nered second places in the shot put and broad jump, while Ed Dwyer placed third, running his first open 440. The mile relay team composed of Dwyer, Rudnick, Carlson, and Fay also showed strong in placing second, only a few yards behind the Wilson Col- lege team which had earlier set the Daily News Relay record. Point leaders for the 52 season were Rudnick, Dwyer, and Carlson, fol- lowing in that order. The ' 53 cinder squad was built around returning lettermen, R. Johnson, Fay, and Lake. New- comers were Fred Colby and Jim Goth, running the hurdles and relay; Karl Nyline, 440; Paul Sparr- man and Dixon Jones competing in the distance events. I raining for I lie relays

' 52-53 TANK MEN Y Aii.l.-rs,,,,. ' . Ilullun-n. I) I.inclm.m. N. Rvclinu. IV In. L H I „kr SWIMMING The ' 53 swimming team was han- dicapped by a lack of manpower throughout the season. In various dual meets, the Viking men were dunked by teams with all-around depth and ability. The first two meets showed the Vik- ing men needed more conditioning as they were defeated by Wilson 50-16 and Morton 47-19. The next meet was against Wright, the conference cham- pions. Their water power was way too much for the Blue and Gold as they went under 53-8. A scheduled meet with Herzl was cancelled. On March 6 at the conference meet, Wright ' s powerful team took first with 56 points. Morton and Wilson fol- lowed with 22 and 17, and North Park took fourth with 8. Despite the season record, the spirit of competition was al- ways high and North Park can be proud of the small, but fighting tank- men. Letter winners were M a r st o n Swanberg, who placed third in the breast stroke and swam on the medley relay team that placed third; Norm Ryding, who placed fourth in the breast stroke; Bruce Erickson and Whitey Anderson who swam on the third place medley relay team; and Don Lindman and Wilton Anderson who swam on the fourth place free style relay team. Bo Peterson, special stu- dent from Sweden, joined the team at mid-season and competed in the back stroke. 123
