TI- The younger set, Bob Gibson and Lorrie Hogg, prime for 100 yard dash. With the division of participants into age groups in the Patria-Tepe- yac-Bear encounter the Bears were able to concentrate more of their talent in one group and thus humil- iate their arch rival, Tepeyac, 56-55, in the 16-and-under group. The Bears only took five firsts of ten categories on this occasion, but they gained essential points with six seconds and four third places. Bear strength was concentrated in the field events, with firsts in the discus, high jump, and shot put. However, the Bears made up for their loss of first place in the 220 and the 880 with seconds and thirds in other track divisions. In the 17-and-older category however, the AHS team's slimness, as opposed to Tepeyac's depth, resulted in a 36-76 loss, while Patria scored a mere 10 points. Wi th only six par- ticipants the AHS commendably managed three firsts, four seconds, and two thirds. IOl..lg- ' Pedro Gutierrez hurdles over 1.70 meters to tie for first in the high jump. John Wisner clocks a 4:12:5 mile against second place Patria runner. A I 'A it . ' . x l , 1 , , N . . , fl, -4 '--P' fx' A 'V' -gg' ' ,- '-'gf , , ., .. - .r' .,:vv H '-.
