His experience in the Academy and on the College second team the year previous was advantageous to him. He is only a Fresh- man and we are looking forward to some good things from him during the next year. MOENCH-Guard Eddie, our big guard, came into our midst in the middle of the season. He at once obtained a position on the team and held it down very creditably. He had a clever method of handling the ball with one hand and his passes were hard and accu- rate. After seeing him play, a question often arose as to the necessity of his having two arms. He guarded his man close and could be counted on for a long ringer in each game. Torreyson-Forward Tony covered lots of Hoor and seemed to be tireless. This was due to the wonderful endurance which he has worked up in his distance running. He could be counted on to drop in a ringer occasionally and was good on free throws. Having made his letter in basket ball, he is now a three stripe man--basket ball, track and foot ball. Hartman and Ferris were the other men who made up the squad of ten. Al- though they broke into the game several times they did not play enough to make their letter. Their experience will be of benefit to them and they will make strong bids for positions next year. I. Obenshain, Moore, Graham, Coneland, Fitch, VVl1ite, and Bell were others who were out regularly and helped greatly to mould our team into shape. From this group a peppy team could be chosen which often held the firsts to a very close score. 4 546 2577'QifZiii?L1?iX Z I A Eighty-one

Ohenshain Palmer iqvhhing Elrark Swann, 15211 The Hedding Track season of 1920 was a success and the record made is one of which we are proud. The season opened most unfavorably. The resignation of Coach Macy left the team without professional direction and the boys worked out their entries with such assistance as Prof. C. C. Smith was able to render. The sea- son was unusually late and the lack of a permanent track proved a great handicap. The first meet was with Knox, a tryout meet in which the team scored several more points than we had hoped, notwithstanding the fact that an accident to Torreyson lost us several points. We lost the meet with Monmouth by one point, on account of the failure to enter men in two distance runs for second and third places. Had we known the men better we could have won this race easily. The greatest victory was at Macomb Normal in the Quadrangular Meet, Hedding winning more points than Macomb Normal, Carthage and Augustana combined. In the State Meet the team made an exceptionally good showing. lVe placed sixth in rank, winning over all the colleges of our size. The greatest single victory was won by Torreyson in the two mile run, when he took the lead at the start and held it consistently to the finish, setting the state record. John Fritz, the veteran of the team, ran his last half mile race against the fastest field in years. He set the pace until near the finish when three men nosed past him. John had a record of six years of hard, careful work on the track at Hedding and won many points. He will be a hard man to replace in the season of ,21. The consistent work on the part of the en- tire team built a fine foundation for winning teams for future years. The track is to be rebuilt and all prospects point to greater success in the season of '21. I Eighty-three
