Track Squad The past track season has been the most successful completed since the introduction of track three years ago. Early in the autumn Redeemer's cross-country team, composed of Labadie, Liptow, Vezino, and Stiff, Was entered in the annual Fordson High meet. Despite the fact that the Redeemer athletes were running against some of the best in the Detroit area, Labadie and Liptow tied for first in the mile run. Later in the season, in the Regional meet at the Jefferson School, Labadie emerged first in the mile run, While Liptow Was fourth. The spring track season was opened in earnest shortly after the Easter holidays, with Redeemer, St. Benedict, Visitation, Central, and St. Catherine entered in a track meet at Belle Isle. In this meet Redeemer romped to an easy victory, scoring more than half the total points. Carter placed first in both the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. Maher in- creased the Redeemer total by placing second in the shot put and in the quarter mile. Redeemer again broke into the scoring column when Liptow gained a Hrst and Labadie a second in the mile run. Livernois finished far ahead of his nearest rival to win a first in the half mile. O'Connell captured a second in the high jump and Thierry a first in the broad jump. The mile relay team completed the scoring by gaining a first. In June several men were sent to the Michigan State tournament but did not place. Page Ninetyftwo

This year, for the Hrst time the teams were divided into two leagues, and the Cubs had to play through a regular league schedule and play- off series before getting the trophy. In the league the Cubs were undefeated, Winning five straight games. In the play-off series they were matched against St. Rita's, the champions of the Eastern League. The Cubs took Hrst game with little difliculty. In the second game St. Rita's started by showing unexpected strength, and the score at the end of the half was tied at five all. In the second half the Cubs held their opponents scoreless while they added ten points for a victory and the championship. Summarizing the season We see that the Cubs scored an average of 21 points per game while holding their opponents to a mere 5 points. With such a splendid team as this it is no wonder that the Cubs will retain possession of the trophy for another year. Page Ninetyfone

Boxing Squad This year Redeemer's list of sporting events was enlarged by the addi- tion of a new sport-boxing. This first boxing team was very capably coached by M. LaCross. After only a few weeks of practice, the boxers re- ceived their iirst test under Hre. The occasion was a boxing tournament held for the benefit of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, on March 31, at the Redeemer SVU? In this tournament the Redeemer boxers were matched against boxers from St. Leo's, St. Theresa's, the Y. Nl. C. A., and the West Side A. C. For their initial encounter the Redeemer boxers were surprisingly successful. They were victorious in six bouts out of the nine in which they were entered. The suc- cessful Redeemer boxers were Duva, LaCross, Ouellette, Rupinski, Coogan, and Campbell. These men gave a fine exhibition of good boxing and with a little more practice will soon develop into a formidable boxing team. Financially these bouts were a great success and a very considerable sum of money was turned over to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The students, by showing the interest they did in these bouts, proved to the authorities in charge of sports that student support will be forthcoming at any other events they may choose to sponsor.
