Inexperienced track squad started The young track team of Coach Mark Grain succeeded in winning just one of its dual meets this season. The team, with only three seniors, began with a close one in which Bluffton slipped by the Bruins 601 2-57 V - Two more losses — Wabash, 103-15, and El- wood, 85-33— were posted before the Bruins finally broke into the win column by defeating Dunkirk 72-46. From there, however, things went downhill as the Bruins lost their next four dual meets Delta, 72-45; Peru, 81-36; Tipton, 88- 30; and Portland, 76-41. During the season the Bruins also competed in a three-way meet with East- brook and Alexandria, in which they placed third, and a four-way meet with Madison Grant, Mississinewa, and Bluff- ton in which the Bruins placed third, defeating Mississinewa. In the GIG meet the Bruins beat out Alexandria and Elwood for sixth place. In the sectional, competing against 26 other teams, the Bruins failed to score.
