With two of the strongest teams in Cook County competing in the Suburban League, Evanston's hopes for a track championship in 1935 are very dim. Even though Evanston has not had quite enough power the last few years to win the championship, and has lacked the facilities of an indoor track for winter training, the Wildkits have always pushed these two teams to the last event. Claudies Britt, state broad jump champion, who also competes in the high and low hurdles, is EVanston's main hope for points. George Williams in the sprints, Bevan Iones in the pole vault, lack Cummings in the sprints, Robert Horstmeier in the halt-mile, Malcolm Brown in the hurdles and shot-put, Iohn Burton in the broad jump and relays, Richard Vtfells and Thomas Iennings in the shot-put, Iames Woodburn in the pole vault, Clement Eiden in the quarter and half-mile, and William Abel in the quarter and halt, are the men counted on to score most of the Widkit's points. Coach Schultz expects to send six or eight men to compete in the state championships at Champaign, and also hopes to defend successfully the Class A division championship of the Pekin Relays, which has been won by Evanston for the last two years.

Captain Robert Voigts, Dalryrnple Iones, Iames Currie, Walter Stevenson, Robert Long and Wayne Hanscom were lost to the team at the end of the first semester, leaving Iames Gilson, guard, the only regular left for the second half of the schedule.

Bevan Iones, appointed to succeed Voigts as captain, Chester Legg, and Louis Beach alternated at the forward positions during the second semester. Iesse Peak played the center position most of the time, but was helped out by Malcolm Brown and Robert White. The guard positions were filled by Iames Gilson, Robert White, and Frank Swirles. This team defeated New Trier and Waukegan, but lost to Proviso, Oak Park, Deerfield, and Morton. Those players who won major letters were: Robert Voigts, Iarnes Currie, Dalryrnple Iones, Robert Long, Wayne Hanscom, Walter Stevenson, Bevan Iones, Iames Gilson, Robert White, Malcolm Brown, Frank Swirles, Chester Legg, Iesse Peak, Louis Beach, Samuel Iohns, and Robert Thompson. 1stRow-Swirles, D.

During the long gray months of Winter, it seems a long, long time before the sun Will ever Warm up enough to melt the snow cmd soften the ground for America's national game-baseball. But along about the first of March, when the basketball team has only the State Tournament left, and the chinook Wind and the soft, warm sun combine long enough to Warn us of their annual successful attacks on marks, the baseball fan starts counting the days before practice starts. This year Coach Floyd Wilson has six letter Winners from last year re- turning-Iohn Seiger at third, Iohn Byrnes, a pitcher, Ioseph Fronczak at short, William Wegman at second, Iarnes Gilson in left, and Samuel Iohns on right, who form the nucleus for the 1935 team. With good material coming up from the freshman-sophomore, and junior varsity teams of last year, pros- pects are very bright for an excellent showing in the Suburban League race. The main problem facing Coach Wilson is to find a good pitcher-catcher combination such as the Kaufman-Brinker battery of last year. Iohn Byrnes may be that pitcher, or either Iames Gilson or Iohn Seiger may shift their positions to try their luck on the pitching mound. The catching problem is more difficult, and Samuel Iohns may have to be moved from right field to the position behind the plate.
