1936 THE CHALK LINE 25 Crack The track season was opened by the Boone-Teachers meet on the new stadium track. B. Burleson, Southerland, Lucas,, Davis, Parsley, and Jamison proved to be a nemesis for the well-trained North Carolina team. Each man accounted for his number of points plus a few extra ones. New men, Brown, Boring, Field, Scott, Miller, Sabin, Smallwood, and Evans, fell into line for second and third places in spite of the fact that the 1936 track season was their first. On May 2, Coach McMurray took Jamison, Lucas, Brown, Edmonds, and Boring to the Conference track meet at Lincoln Memorial University at Harrogate. Jamison, outstanding dash man, confirmed the general opinion that he would rate a high winner in spite of the fact that he had lost form due to a two year “lay off”. He tied Woods of Milligan for high scoring honors; each took thirteen points. Lucas, Brown, and Edmonds also took honors, adding to the total points for the Buccaneers. At the Milligan-Teachers meet on the Teachers College field, May 5, almost every track aspirant on the Buccaneer team got his chance to compete. Lucas, Edmonds, and Jamison led the field with five first places, while Kitts and Brown were responsible for three seconds. Third places were taken by Field, Burleson, Scott, and A. Boyer.
