TRACKSTERS BEAT THE CINDER PATH By DARRELL SQUIRES Having lost some fine trackmen from the former season, the Central track squad last spring appeared to have little chance for suc- cess. However, several great contestants were brought to light who did, and will in the future, uphold the laurels of Central High School. Last year South Side and Marion fell before the Tigers in dual meets, and Central finished well toward the top in the N.E.l.C., sectional, Marion, and Kokomo meets. Central sent four men to the state finals last spring, contrary to the year before when Tony Stanski was the only Tiger representative to go so far. We were represented by George Lantz and Dick Kite, Seniors: Henry Kulesza, Sopho- more: and E. Allan Charlton, lunior. Prospects for this year's team are Henry Kulesza as one of the state's foremost high- jumpers, Allan Charlton, seeing a great year as a hurdler, and Fealing Talley as a great dashman, assisted by Vance Guy. The 440 will see Bill Hanley and Henry Sandkuhler as contenders, with Paul Iohns and Dick Miller appearing in the long mile grind. Last season we sent seven boys into com- petition as a cross-country team for the first time. The boys, under the guidance of Mr. Hemphill, a former college track star, were Paul Chamberlain, Russell Dunten, and Phil Oberkizer, Iuniorsp Otto Turpchinoff and Rich- ard Morris, Sophomoresp and lames Turpchinoff and Bill Smallback, Senior and Freshman re- spectively. After two months of hard practice, the boys appeared in shape for the state meet, and on the chilly morning of November 23, twelve of the state's foremost cross-country teams began the long grind. The Blue and White, as usual, fought gal- lantly to the tape. Although they didn't cross first, the Tigers were a happy group as they returned to the North Side gym. They had given their best for Central and they knew Central was proud of them. So while we give praise to the football and basketball stars, let us not forget these gallant trackmen who also deserve much praise. Page One Hundred Two -P 8
