I '7 ' TRACK Lorne Sam Arnold, captain of the 1931 track team, is Wesleyan's most versatile track performer. His scintillating perform- ance at the Dakota Relays and the confer- ence meet Was a fitting and glorious climax to a brilliant college career. Wilfred Gross, captain-elect, has been a 'o tl consistent point winner throughout his three years of track competition. He has each year been a member of the relay team as well as running the 100, the 220, and the 440. , Z ' TUMBLEWEED 1933 ' :. ,,,.1 Page 8

The best previous showing was the third place rating earned in 1930. A Tiger team won a second place in the Mile Relay at the Minnesota Re- lays. This was the first place gained by Wesleyan in a big meet. ln the Drake Relays, Arnold defeated hurdlers from Northwestern, and the Univer- Q sities of Iowa and Illinois. An abundance of ability was then displayed in the X, 0 Inter-Class meet. The freshmen won handily with 90 points, the juniors fin- ished with SLIM, the seniors with 52, and the sophomores with 32M.
