Captain Joe Feeley, Sam Rosen, George Stevenson, Wesley Doe, Jim Feeley,Jim Ryan and Len White left gaps not easily filledBut with the announcement that llEddie Anderson, fresh from his championship football and basketball teams, had been appointed track coach, De Paul sport fans took a new and keener interest in track and field activities. Although handicapped by the lack of an indoor track, Coach Anderson was not to be denied;he secured the Broadway Armory and called the boys out for practice. With but two weeks of training, the relay team consisting of Captain McEnroe, Buckels, Haggerty and Faulkner, journeyed to Champ- aign to compete in the Illinois Relays at the University of Illinois on February 27th. In this meet the boys took fifth place in the two-mile college relay, which is no mean accomplishment, considering the fact that the winners of the event, Haskell Indians, broke the record by sixteen seconds. On April 23 rd,De Paul University opened up its outdoor track season by sending a relay team to the Drake Relays, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa. The boys competed in the medley and two mile relays but failed to bring home the coveted trophies, although it can be said in their favor that the running conditions were the worst of the year, the track being ankle deep with mud and rain all during the meet. . Next on the program was a dual meet with St. ViatorTs. The meet was held at De Paul Field on Wednesday, May 12th. The men were evenly matched and only the last few events decided the victors. The final score was 67 to 55 in favor of the old Red and Blue. Auge, our big Indian boy, was high point man of the meet with fifteen points, followed by Captain McEnroe with eleven points.
