26 THE BY RON I AN Ogle County Novice Meet April 24, 1915 Oregon, 111. Although been use of several unfortunate misunderstandings Byron did not succeed in capturing the banner this year, nevertheless our novices made a verv good showing. Among the individual point winners Yoost easily stood first with IS points to his credit. Hoffman and Brewster were close seconds with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Because of the unusually favorable weather Byron had a fine delegation of rooters who encouraged the team by their cheers. In the evening Monte Ilealev represented the school in the extemporaneous oiatorical contest. Ilis speech on the “Incandescent Lamp ' was awarded second place and he was given a silver medal. B. II.

28 TUE BYRONIAN Track PROSPECTS FOR SEASON OF 1915 That we have a field and track team that is to command the respect of any school, 1 think nobody will dispute. A few weeks ago we received |uite a com- pliment to this effect. The manager of the Freeport High School Athletics, upon soliciting a cross-country run with our manager, said that he thought from the showing we made, both in the Ogle County Meet of 1914 and the Basket Ball Tournament of Rockford, that we had at least three times as many men to choose from as we have. Our manager and coach is our principal, Mr. 11. V. Lynn. Our captain is Geo. Piper. To both we look up with a feeling that we will be led to success in our following meets. Mr. Lynn has ever stuck by us, through success or defeat, always with an encouraging word and a helping hand. Piper has always been out on the field ever since his ‘‘Freshie days, and certainly knows how to con- duct his men. Our team consists of the following men. Behind each man 1 have placed those events in which I think they make the best showing: I rom the Senior Class we have five stalwart, muscular young men, namely: Everett Cooper—Pole vault, high jump and weights. Monte Healey -Pole vault, dashes and weights. Louis Johnson—440-yard run, high jump and hammer. Amzi Johnston—440-yard run, 220-vard dash and distance runs. Sherman Wickwire—Pole vault and dashes. From the Juniors, to whom (in the height of their ambition) we leave the responsibility of going ahead with this work next year, we have: George Piper—Hurdles, dashes and weights. Vernon Hogan—Dashes and 440-yard run. Raymond Hoffman—Dashes and shot put. Next down the line we have two Sophomores. Only two, because they are the only two boys in a class with one dozen girls: Charles Heinly—Longdistance runs and hurdles. Lester Knapply—Dashes and hurdles. From that large class of noisy Freshmen we have five more to pick. They are new in the ring, but their efforts are highly appreciated, and they certainly pre- sent a promising bunch of athletes. They are as follows: Walter Brewster—Pole vault, jumps and dashes. Robert Harrison—Longdistance runs. Leo Howard—Dashes, hurdles and discus hurl. Duane Wilbur—440-vard run, high jump and weights. Harold Yoost—Distance runs, jumps and weights. 1 hese, totaling fifteen, complete our team. The five Seniors go out this year, leaving ten good, experienced men for next year, besides those that may enter in the Freshman class. On May 1. those men having County medals, went to Beloit, there to partici- pate in their Ninth Annual lutercholastic Meet. There our men had to go up against some stiff competition, but Piper succeeded in winning two seconds one in the hammer throw and the other in the discus hurl. The men who went were: Cooper, Healey, Johnson, Johnston and Piper. On June 4 the Ogle County Meet will be held at Oregon, 111. There we expect to be on deck with our full force, and we have no fear but that we can capture the banner. Our Annual lass Meet is to be held some time lx fore school closes. The participants are: Seniors and Sophomores vs. Juniors and Freshmen.
