Track Devil cindermen break four records in season DOWN THE HOME STRETCH-Devil sprinter French Bache races to the finish line capturing first place in the 440 yard run against the visiting Stafford Indians. Breaking four records during the year, Cul- peper Cindermen went undefeated in dual com- petition until their last meet of the season with Orange. Records broken during the five meets in- cluded the triple jump, the mile relay, the two mile, and the one-half mile relay in their vic- torious season. Boys who placed either first or second in district meet events were eligible to compete in the Group IB State Meet. Blue Devils had two seniors and one junior to qualify. David Van Lieu placed third in the two mile with a time of ten minutes, twenty-four seconds. Injuries and illnesses plagued the team all season and at the State Meet lessened their chances. Leading scorers were French Bache, Joseph Coates, Wayne Deal, David Gulas, Edward Lee, Ronald Utz, David Van Lieu, and William Yowell. A young team, composed mainly of freshmen, learned how to run, hurdle, high jump, and pole vault under Coach Halley’s supervision.

In the first home game of the season the Culpeper Devilettes scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to pull a 7-5 come-from-behind victory over the Fauquier Falconettes. Striking out seven, Linda Payne, a sophomore, went the entire route. Stafford proved to be the toughest opponent by winning both games of the season.
