Grade Jordan's track team has started a very successful track season by winning its first two meets. In the first meet they beat Wilbur, 40-5, taking all but one event. They also won a triangular meet against Bellarmine and Wilbur by a score of 46-41-25, respectively. The team does not have as many stars as they did last year, but it does have a good, well-rounded team. The season's best prospects so far are: Bob Olpin and Steve Weissbluth in the 330, Bob Clark and Craig Duncan in the 660, John Northway, George- French and Jerry Marsh in the 1320, Gordon Lockhart and Larry Oakes in-the High Jump and Discus, Richard Wil- kerson, Dennis Hamilton, and Bob Bowman in the Shot, and Burt Linsley, Jim Carpenter, Bill Munsey and Mike McClellan in the sprints. Coach Bob Cavender said that Gordy Lockhart had great potentialities in the Discus, High Jump, and'Low Hurdles. Bob Clark and Craig Duncan also have great promise in the 660. The team has three more meets to go against Menlo- Atherton, Wilbur, and the 20-30 relays, where over twelve teams compete. Two years ago Jordan won this meet. Even if we do not win them all, you can be sure that Jordan will be well represented at'all of the meets. 9th.
