FORECAST FOR 1927 The season's outlook for 1927 is fairly bright in the individual lines. Redel. Boyer, and Thompson are veterans 011 the cinder path. Baker and some of last year's as- pirants will fill out the squad. Captain Redel has been driving himself and some of the new men along at a tremendous pace. By the opening of the outdoor season, a formidable team is expected to be whipped into shape. The team of 1927, with hard work will be a success, and we expect them to lay down some records that can be filed in the annals of our school for the year 1927. CROSS COUNTRY The cross-country team of 1926 met with a disastrous semon. They were handi- capped by ineligible men throughout the season, and failed to win a meet. TENNIS Tennis in 1926 was led by Captain Knapp who was closely seconded by Leibsohn. Both of them attended the State meet. Neither one placed in the single, but the pair of them went through to the finals in which they were defeaed. Leibsohn will return for the 1927 semon. Page One Hundred and Five

I 'L' '-T TRACK SQUAD Tap Ruiz:-Coach Kelly, Redel QCaptain4electJ, Ridgeway, Vesely, Boyer, Miller fCaptainl, Coach Paulu Boiron: Row-Thompson, Christy, Maresh, Knapp, Kosek, Tangeman Coach Kelly's first track team at Xvashington High was a great success. The sea- son was completed with a large majority of the meets entered, recorded as wins. The team entered into many sectional, state, and local meets as well as competing in the national indoor and outdoor meets. The squad developed into a well balanced team of athletes. Redel, llliller, Thomp- son, Kosek, llaresh and De Silva, made a wonderful half-mile and mile relay team. Ifach man of this group was also capable of running the dashes or the quarter. The combination of Tanga-man, Vesely, Ridgeway and Koselc in the two mile relay, could at any time be split to garner points in the half or mile run. To balance these was the star vaulting, high-jumping, and broad jumping trio of Knapp, Christy and Boyer. If Coach Kelly could have developed a hurdler and a weight, discus or javelin man, he would have had an unbeatable team. During the course of the season, after the Drake, Grinnell, and Independence meets, Cedar Rapids placed second to Algona in the Cedar Falls meet. This is the first time that Cedar Rapids has been defeated within Iowa in seven years, and was probably due to an irregularity of the starter in the IOO yard dash. The Tigers did not enter the state meet at Des Bloines. They had previously won from East Des Moiiies, the champions, in two different meets. llonograms were awarded to Captain Illiller, Captain-elect Redel, Boyer, Ridge- way, Yesely, Koselc, Tangeman, Knapp, Thompson, hlaresh, Christy, and De Silva.
