Joe Graffio leads the way to the tape in the Century Track and Field is almost synonymous with the name Trojans from the Uni- versity of Southern California. Troy has taken more NCAA track and field titles than all the other winners added together, and at this writing things don t look like they will be any different during the 1954 season. To any other school the loss of a Big Three like Jack Davis, Parry O Brien and Sim Iness would have spelled death: but not at Troy. Jack Larsen, Manager This marks Jack ' s third year as a man- ager of Trojan track teams, this year in the capacity of senior manager. He has quite a job arranging trips as the spikesters travel throughout the nation. Jack is an Accounting major.
