Were it not for him, Alma would have lost a good many more meets than it has. His participation in four or five events each meet has been vastly important. Other point getters who have consistently contrib- uted to the team are Dave Eldred and Lou Economou. Eldred is in his third year as a shot putter and discus thrower, and has consistently been a lirst place winner. Economou is in his second season and divides his time between the half mile and throwing the iavelin. Coach Wayne Hintz hopes, in addi- tion, to have the services of several hopeful freshmen. Up to now, Alma's track team has never been o large one, but per- haps this year we will have a bigger contingent.

Things looked bright at the season's beginning with only two posi- tions unfilled by returning lettermen. With plenty of experience on the field and on the bench, Coach Bill Carr is hopeful that Alma will finish up in first place after last year's second place wind-up. Captain Ray Graham leads the Scots this year in this, his fourth sea- son of play. Outfielder Dave Peters returns again also for his fourth' season. Last year both Graham and Peters were ranked nationally in the batting department. They are also veterans of last year's All-Con- ference Team. At one point last year, Alma was the leading fielding team in thei country. This season the schedule includes 25 games - five games on the' regular southern tour, plus the Michigan State game.

This year Coacw Mikle will center his squad around senior veteran George DeVries and junior letterwinnet Dave Turner. This season unlike most years has seen a great deal of interest in this sprint sport as seen by the large turnout of underclassmen. One of the outstanding highlight of the early season was to be a southern tour to help get the squad ready for regultt M.I.A.A. season, but iust a few weeks prior to the trip, DeVries suffered a broken foot ant the southern schedule had to be cancelled. The Scots open the regular season against Aquinas on April 18 and Central Michigq April 20, both non-league contests. After these warm-up matches, Alma will make its bi for the title in the M.l.A.A. This season as usual the team to beat will be Kalamazoo, will Hope posing as a serious threat. 'vi , :lllln .l
