HERNANDEZ NORDSTROM RUCH ROBERTS ANDERSON SIDWELL DOWELL STOCK JORGENSEN VORBECK KAYS CO UCH WALKER OUTSTANDING ACHIEVE- MENT of the entire track season was the performance of the mile relay team in the Inter- State Conference meet held at Lexington. Charles Nordstrom, Donald Kays, David Sidwell and Bill Vorbeck teamed together for the first and only time dur- ing the year, ran away from all opposition and set a new mark of 3:31.4 that is expected to stand the tests of several com- ing years. For this feat, these four boys were awarded the first track sweaters ever given to Duck athletes. Along with them were honored seven other cinder fly- ers, all of whom received the C given for track and field accomplishments. The tracksters entered eight meets, two of them indoors, and came out with four firsts, a second, a third, a fourth and a seventh. There were but two dual meets. NORDSTROM SIDWELL VORBECK Page 9

This year Cosmo walked off with the hon- ors, scoring 46I 2 points, but the win- ners did not furnish either high point scorer or the only record maker of the day. The girls won for Cosmo, for they ran and jumped for a total of 28 points while the boys worked hard to garner l8 ' 2 points. Walter Anderson of Illi- nois was the high scorer among the boys and was the one who turned in the record equaling performance — an 8.6 second high hurdle race.

Margaret Miller of South Missouri would lead in points for awhile and then more results would come in and Gwindola Baker of Cosmo would take over the lead.

cL ion Ducks Make Spikes Ply Indoors and Outdoors ' T HE TRACK TEAM was loaded with sprinters, it seems, for the cen- - - tury and the 220. Bill Vorbeck and Donald Kays both lettered as speed demons while Bob Sharpies failed to letter only because he left school before the end of the season. In the picture at the left above Vorbeck, foreground, Kays, next in line and a St. Joseph Junior College boy are breasting the tape together in one of the triangular meets at home. Passing the baton in the top picture are Sidwell, dark sweater, and Dale Gunn. At this point Ducks were behind, but they won the race. The lower panel baton passers are Kays, in back, and Welty at the state indoor meet.
