TRACK, '43, Although the 1943 Comet track team won only one of three dual meets and placed fourth in the Capital Circuit Conference, Coach Don McCook had several outstanding performers on the squad. Cletus Dick was the all around man, always placing in all meets and competing in the 100, 220, broad jump and running anchor man on the relay team: L. R. Gates and P. Fortino turned in fine performances in the 440: Stan Cranson showed his heels to several milers in meets: Carrow ran the 880 with O. Dixon and Miller: while Cade heaved the shot and R. Kebler took care of the hi-hurdles. Scores of the meets were: Comets 53 to Eaton Rapids' 37: Howell 63 to Comets' 24: and Charlotte 48 to our 45. BASEBALL, '44. Due to the Capital Circuit abandoning baseball, the Comets had only a seven game schedule. Coach Shippey molded a strong nine which won 3 and lost 4: a poor record for a Comet nine, but good considering the class of competition. The Comets won from East Lansing 6 to 5 with Carrow chucking: beat Resurrection 5 to 4 with Figg burning them across: and won in a walkaway 16 to 8 from Howell with Carrow tossing. Lan- sing Eastern humbled the Comets 5 to 4 against Figg: and l5 to 6 with Carrow pitching. St. Mary's set the Comets and Figg down 4 to 3 and Carrow 3 to 2 for the 4 losses of the season. The Comets were: Carter, c: Carrow, p and ss: Figg, p and ss: Hauter, lst: Gibbs, Znd: Dick, 3rd: Bouck, lf: J. McDaniels, cf: Galvin, rf: and substitutes were Shaw, Blanchard, Matson, and R.
