00 ffze 600 1 Despite the ineligibility of one player, Wildcat Basketeers showed real ability 2 doubtlessly might have finished high in State Tournament. This squad thought to only a fair team in the early part of the s son, later offered the toughest competition any team in the state and in an ultim splurge advanced to the semi-finals. It is lieved that El Dorado could have overco Newton in the state finals, because the te had shown a brilliant performance against Railroaders in the Regional Tourname. Many boys on the squad this year are sop mores, who promise to be good material Coach Red Royer next year.

Do wa the Fairway Golf this year did not prove to be a popular sport with many boys. However there were some Wildcat golf enthusiasts who were ready and willing to take on some of the meets. Al- though they failed to place in many of these meets, we know that these boys are capable of doing great things on the golf course. Captain Jim Eastham, Bud Cole, Gaines Bell, Haven Kelly, Don Scholler and Bob Maloney were members of this year's team. The lack of entrants in tennis caused the school to dis- miss this sport. 00 flze finders The Wildcat Trackmen, under the coach- ing of Willis Neal, were very consistent throughout the season. Backed by Captain Harold Caro and Pieratt Johnson, this group placed high in many meets. At the beginning of the season, some thirty men reported for workout. This formed the neucleus of the squad. Neal took most of these boys to the first meet of the season, the Fredonia Relays. Here El Dorado placed third. Also two new records were established by Caro in the high jump, 6 ft. Sfyj, in., Johnson in the half mile, time 2:05. Shields took first in the 100 yard dash. K. U. Relays-Represented here by only two trackmen, Caro and Johnson, this pair scored enough points to finish tenth. Caro took the high jump and finished third in the broad jump for eight of the nine points scored by El Dorado. The other point came by virtue of Johnson's fifth in the half mile. El Dorado Invitational - Because of the fact that the Wildcats strength was in Law- rence, the homelings tried their best in their own meet. This was taken by Winfield, with El Dorado fourth. Emporia Relays-Here El Dorado took top honors with 6816 points, 13Vz points ahead of the runnerup, Emporia. Again Caro showed his ability to the field by taking first in the high jump and second in the broad jump. The half mile was taken by Johnson, and both the high and low hurdles by Holmes. Kelly placed first in the shot put and the jave- lin throw. Eligibility trouble followed this meet and the first place cup was returned to Emporia. Ark Valley-Again paced by El Do- rado leading point makers, Caro and Johnson, the Wildcats captured fifth in this meet. Caro again won the high jump, with Johnson win- ning the half mile. Regionals-This meet was held at Eureka, with El Dorado finishing fourth from the top. Points were again scored with Caro taking the high jump and scoring second in the broad jump with Johnson finish- ing second in the half mile. State - With just two entries, Caro and Johnson, El Dorado did very well indeed by finishing tenth. In this meet Caro tied for first, and Johnson ran a 2:03 half mile for first. Much credit is due to the track team as a whole, they experienced a good season. There were many outstanding members of this year's team, but two who carried their share of the load and more were Caro and Johnson. With Gaines Bell as Captain next year, we know that El Dorado will again be well represented at every meet it attends.
