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. Sharpies is coming in the right lane to finish fourth in the Missouri State Junior College Indoor Meet at Columbia, hie won his heat earlier In the day, just as the other three boys had done against a large field.

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

In Motion — Sharpies and Kays in 220-photo finish — Nordstronn wins conference half nnile — dead heat century — Harris over horizontal bar — Anderson out in front on highs — Queen presents mile relay trophy at Lexington. TRACK LETTERMEN came from six states. Missouri furnished four, lov a two and South Dakota, Mississippi, Colorado and Kansas one each. Outstanding performer was Charles Nordstrom of Iowa, the high pointer of the squad who lost only one race during the entire season, taking the Inter-State Conference half mile run in easy stride and running on the record-setting mile relay team. Charles ran four 440-yard races and seven 880- yard runs. Most versa tile of the group was Jack Dowell. He made points during various meets in the discus, javelin, pole vault, high jump and broad jump. Walker was nearly as well-rounded, earning points In the low hurdles, broad jump, javelin and high jump. His throw In the conference meet broke the jave- lin record, but there were two others that were better. Harris, Jorgensen and Hernandez were regulars who could always be counted upon to place in their events — Harris In the high jump, Hernandez In the shot put and Jorgensen In the pole vault. Page 1 1
