Nevertheless, there has been a busy season ot individual matches to keep tennis one ot our most popular sports. - Two tine new courts were constructed and put in use during the Florida session to make a total ot eight courts at our Winter Quar- ters. A similar number in Kentucky round out the tacilities. Scheduled Florida matches with traditional opponents tailed to come ott and, at this writing, no matches have been played with the teams in the Falls City Tennis League ot which K. M. l. is a member. K. lvl. l. has won two legs on the Trophy Cup ot the League. One more means permanent possession. Championship matches were rained out in the spring ot l94Q.

- I VARSITY TRACK SQUAD-1944 Standing: Pruden, Mgr., Capt. Hammack, Coach, Cuiusiana, Wheeler, McCulloch, Nichols, Miller, T., Reardon, McWain, Irvin. Kneelingi Maxwell, Peacock, Sharer, Fisher, Tepley, McGahey, Shelby, Triplett, Nagel. Not Shown: Kay, Beck, Carmichael, Combs, Woltlin, Ray, Roerk. The Track and Field Squad was almost entirely new this year. Also, time tor adequate train- ing and practice was generally lacking. The i944 track season began suddenly on short notice with a dual meet with Sarasota, Florida High's Veteran Sailors. Coach Hammock grabbed all the loose boys he could corral one att- ernoon, piled them into what little transportation facilities there were, hauled them to Sarasota and told them to run. They did. At that, they made a good showing and very nearly won. The outcome was not de- cided until the last event, the Medley Mile Relay, which the Sailors took to win the meet, 56 to 49. Sarasota was cocked and primed for K. M. I., had the numbers and the quality. For K. M. I. lim Irvin won the IOO-Yard Dash and Fisher was second. McVVain placed second in the Mile as did Irvin in the QQO-Yard Dash. Sharer won the 440-Yard Dash with Peacock in third place. McGahey scored third in the Q20-Yard Hurdles and Gisuiana second in the 880-Yard Run. Cuuisiana, Sharer, Reardon and McGahey annexed the Mile Relay tor K. M. I. Wheeler placed tirst and McCulloch third in the Shotput. In the Discus Throw Nichols was second. McCulloch and Shelby each took tirsts in the High Jump and Broad Jump, respectively with Nichols third in the latter event. Jim Irvin was high point man tor K. M. I. in this meet with several others running close. A pretty fair all-round performance that gave promise tor the future. Atter reassembling in Kentucky following the spring vacation the squad went into a triangu- lar meet with Louisville Manual and Fort Knox. The Kaydets were outclassed. Manual had one of the best teams in its history and Fort Knox sported many ex-college stars. McCulloch placed second in the High Jump and Pole Vault, Shelby was third in the Broad Jump and Sharer ran fourth in the 440 Dash. Total K. M. I. Scoring 8V2 points. Additional meets are scheduled with Male High and St. Xavier High and other schools in the Louisville area.
