eserves Attempt To Ecbo Vctrsityls Success Abundant freshman talent uncovered for bright future The reserve track team, as any reserve team, serves to develop young potential in the school. Composed entirely of freshmen and sophomores the team acts as the me- dium through which boys are first intro- duced into the sport. The greatest number of dropouts occurs during the first two weeks of the season. As the beginning of the season rolls around, the team develops not only physically but also psychological- ly. For the duration of the season the team gains an unbeatable spirit which will even- tually carry them to a very successful sea- son. This fact was clearly illustrated last year when the reserves won the League Championship. Indeed the future of var- sity track atiBrother Rice looks very bright with such fine talent on reserve.
