The cinder-path artists for the Purple and White got a slow start this spring due to weather conditions. Coach Carl C. Quackenbush centered his track squad around six lettermen and ten other members of last year's squad. The twenty- six new candidates were used to fill in holes left from last year. The squad was composed of: 100-yard dash, Ed Strantz, Ken Morril and Jack McPhee, 220- yard dash, Ken Morrill, Ed Strantzg 440-yard dash, Ray Poole, Van Dusen and Bob Williams, 880-yard run and mile, Les Hebert, Ray Lamber- son, Frank Henry, George- Rasmussen, Walter Oswald and Leroy McLaughlin, 120-yard high hurdles, Chauncey Wakeley, George Glendenning and Bill Wilsong 220-low hurdles, Bill Wilson, Bob Williams and Ken Morrill, shotput, Schubbe, Bill Haney and Bill Wilson, discus throw, Schubbe, and Haney, pole vault, Jim Guy, Wakeley and Joe Lamping, high jump, Lyle Stough, Jim Guy, Frank Kapel and Stevens, javelin throw, Ray Poole, Don Patterson and Harry Hodginsg broad Page fifty-four jump, Ernest Bartlett, Bill Corkerum and Wal- lace Panther, relay, Strantz, Poole, Wilson and Morrill. QUADRANGULAR MEET In their first meet of the season, which was the quadrangular meet on Harmon field, Saturday, April 20, the Panthers won with 69521. points. Coeur d'A1ene folowed with 5912, points. Har- rington took third place with 13 points and West Valley last with 9 points. This meet was prac- tically a dual meet between Hillyard and Coeur d'Alene, neither being more than five points ahead till the last two events, the javelin throw and the relay. The entire team showed the best of train- ing and coaching in this meet. PULLMAN MEET On April 27, the Panthers met Pullman on Har- mon field. Pullman carried away the victory with 65 points to Hillyard's 57. Herron of Pullman was high point man with 16 points.

'tn' 'llll!ll'l -uulnnlaulnllnlnunnlofe 'in' 'HUF'-l l -lulnlullnunlluuulsufb first half ended with Hillyard leading 10 to 8, at the end of the game they were trailing 54' to 16. A tough break in the first few seconds of the game came when Miller twisted a knee and was forced from the game. GONZAGA The game with Gonzaga high January 11, proved to be the most hectic and thrilling one of the year. No two more evenly matched teams could have been found in the state. Scoring was as ballanced as basketball scoring could be. No sooner did one member of one team shoot a basket than one of his opponents duplicated the feat. Ray Poole, Panther center, and Hutton, Bullpup forward, were tied for high points honors--each having seven to his credit. At the end of the regular playing period, the score was tied at 19 to 19. An extra three minute period was called and the game continued. Walker sank a free throw to give Hillyard a one-point lead and im- mediately afterward Hutton sank a basket to give Gonzaga the game by one point. NORTH CENTRAL The Hillyard Panthers and the North Central Indians engaged in conflict for the first time this year, January 16, at North Central. The Indians had an easy afternoon due to the fact that their boys are more experienced than the boys from Hillyard. North Central piled up 36 points while Hillyard made only Af. Sandstrom, Hillyard right forward, held Graham, one of the bright lights of the North Central team, scoreless through the entire game and was later given a berth on the all-city second team. RETURN GAMES The Lewis and Clark hoopsters took their sec- ond victory over I-iillyard this season when they defeated the Panthers 28 to 11 on the Hillyard floor. The first quarter saw a bewildered Panther team allow the boys from across the river 18 points while they inade none. In the last three quarters of-the gaine Hillyard gathered ll points while Lewis and Clark was held to 10. In their second' game of the season Gonzaga again defeated Hillyard 23 to 14-. Max Krause of Gonzaga was high point man of the game with eight points while Sandstrom led Hillyard with five points. ' January 28 saw' Hillyard and North Central at odds in the Hillyard gym. As before, the North Central fellows were far too experienced and went home with a score of 34 to 7 in their favor. I .....iH.i I I HARMON FIELD , -H.. . Many teams have sallied forth to battle on Har- mon field and every contest has found it a better place for such events. The improvement of Hill- yard's athletic field has been the greatest proj- ect ever tackled by the students and the results have been highly satisfactory. Just four years ago, when the haughty mem- bers of the June class of '29 were bashful fresh- men, probably only Coach Quackenbush visualized Harmon field as it is today. The ground was rolling and strewn with rocks and sticks. Pine trees flourished along the borders of the gridiron and baseball diamond and no cross country run- ner ever encountered more obstacles than track asp-irants at Hillyard. ' Bu-t 1925 marked the beginning of the end of these conditions. The Lions' club kindly offered help and the drive, under Coach Quackenbush, was on. Gym classes dragged an old rail around day after day, and, though intimations of discon- tent were heard, all are now proud to have had a part in the work. After the field was leveled, it was smoothed with a huge concrete roller and again gym classes were the motive power. Since then, Mr. Smith's manual arts classes have built a modern club house and water has been piped to all parts of the field. The trees and stumps are no more and even the smallest rocks were carted away. Many bleachers were also built. ' After all this, work, on the football field and diamond, the coaching staff was not yet satisfied. A golf course 'was laid out and concrete tees laid. Then came what is perhaps the greatest improvement... 'IIhe field was turfed. Grass was planted in the' spring of '28, Coach Quacken- bush sprinkled it all summer, and when football season rolled around green grass grew in the stead of weeds.I As an aid tb the paddle squad, barbed wire was strung on 'the top of the board fence which completely surrounds the field, and still the work goes on. An improved track is under construc- tion. I Last year a prize of S300 was awarded Hillyard by the Harmon Fund for improvements, and S100 was awarded previous to this. Work on the field will never cease. No sooner will the track be finished than the Coach will promote some other development. i Every student and teacher of Hillyard high, and especially Mr. Quackenbush, is justly proud of Harmon field. It has been an honor to take part in the project. I Page fifty-three 'lvl l 'l'll I lllil -729-lun: unnun --fillllilfii I I I I I I

Tennis in 1929 seems to be on the upward trend, so much interest has been shown that the Frank- lin Park courts have been secured as an additional place for the squad to practice. No less than fifty girls and boys have taken active part in the tennis activities. Miss Finnegan has made tennis a regular part of the spring physical education course for girls. Three letter winners, Vena Travis, Pearl Miller and Georgiana Mathers, are in school this year. They play a much faster game than last season. The squad is composed of Ariste Albo, Armonde O Albo, Alvin Roberts, Boy Sandstrom, Allen Mc- Broom, Benton Gillingham, Stanley Martinson, Melvin Beck, and Herbert Lewis, with Alvin Roberts, a letterman, the ranking players and Armonde Albo, another letterman, giving him plenty of competition, Matches this season have been played with West Valley, Otis ,Orchards, North Central, Lewis and Clark and Gonzaga. We lost to North Central with a score of 4' to 2, but Allen McBroom and Ariste Albo played like veterans. We appear to have a good chance of defeating Gonzaga. , N r I 4 V Page fifty-five 'IN-Hllllll '-,29--e-ull-1-'ul'-IIHIHIIQ'
