TANKS FDD THE MEMUDY Earlham's 1949 swimming team didn't make a big splash, but Coach Don Cumley's Mermen laid the foundation for stronger teams in the future. Swimming has been a great help in rounding out the athletic program by reach- ing boys who might otherwise not be attracted by varsity sports. The team participated in the Little State meet, the Richmond Y.M.C.A. meet, competed against Wittenberg twice, and had a meet with Ball State. Standing are Ken Doolittle, Larry East, Fred Bronkhuyzen, Coach Don Cumley, while Don johnson, Allen Reeve, Dick Harvey, and Paul Kester crouch. Page 24 Twenty seven years ago a bashful farm boy came to Earlham with a set of principles and no pajamas. This year, still bashful, J. Owen Huntsman leaves Earlham with his principles still intact. Coach Huntsman has carried these prin- ciples of sportsmanship and integrity to the athletic fields and beyond, and, in so doing, has accomplished far more than a won-lost record can possibly indicate. Earlham athletes have caught his infectious enthusiasm and dead level best spirit for more than fourteen years. No man has been better able to pass on his love for Earlham. In wishing Coach luck for the future, we congratulate Wabash College on a splendid choice.

525 . Honaker, W. Gettinger, L. Elsbree, T. Bristoll, . Mahew, V. Cressler, W. Emmons. H. Roberts. CIQUSS CUUNTIQY Undefeated in dual competition, the Quaker Harriers were the best since 1941. Led by long- winded, long striding Vernon Cressler, the Maroon and White waltzed through two dual meets and one triangular affair without being pressed. The Quakers undoubtedly would have done much better in both the State and Hoosier Conference meets had Cressler not been forced out of competition with a bad heart. Cressler and Elsbree finished, one-two as Earlham ran away from Hanover and Canter- bury in their first meet. The Quakers scored 24 points, Hanover 46, and the Knights 50. Earl- ham dominated the Franklin meet on Home- coming day with an 18-37 victory. Cressler was again in front with Langdon Elsbree and Bill Gettinger right at his heels. Quincy Honaker finished strong to take fifth while Wayne Emmons and Tom Bristoll tied for seventh. Cressler copped first in the Indiana Central meet with the very good time of 19:14 for the 3.6 mile course, and the Quakers took the meet 24-31. The Maroon slipped to fifth in the Hoosier Conference. Bill Gertinger finished 10th to take honors for the Quakers. Honaker was 13th and Elsbree 17th. Earlham might have taken second had Cressler been able to run. Page 23
