Norm Ciorbaty in the dashes, Hank XY'oolman in the hurdles and high iump, Dick Talmadge in the -Htl, Al ,lohnson in the half mile and Dick Catlett in the shot-put and pole vault should all have com- mendable records. There will be a four meet season with the same schools that were encountered by last year's freshman team.
