HAMMACK COACH 116 After a month passed in the Florida session, many ardent Kaydets were seen vigorously training on the parade ground for the oncoming season in track. Track, being a sport mainly for individual participation, requires practice to be done by the boy himself. Under the leadership of Captain N. C. Ham- mack, the track team showed constant improvement through- out their schedule. The cindermen sported strong resistence in their first meet at Sarasota against Sarasota High and Ft. Myers. Although the season is not over, many good poten- tialities have been displayed and the Louisville teams will have to put forth utmost effort before these Kaydets can be toppled. Outstanding trackmen are King, G., in the 100 yard dash, Ray, R., in the 220, Miles in the 440, Korstanje and Schulz in the 880, Hickman in the mile, McMurry in shot put, and Wagner, L., in high jump.

VARSITY TENNIS Tennis is a popular sport at K. M. I., with at least 90 per cent swinging rackets at one time or another during the school year. Close competition dominated the companies early in the Florida session in order to determine the top ranking men for the varsity tennis team. After this the top eight were weeded out by a battalion double elimination match. The capable su- pervision and instruction by Captain D. D. Waters had devel- oped the team into one of the best we have seen in years at 'Ha-. 5:9 K. M. I. The team is built around Trautman and Vinton, top CAPT. DAN WATERS two players, and Arthur, who has never lost a match with an C0553 opposing team. Hopes of an even more successful season for next year will be based upon Criggar, Allen, and Gilmore, with RANKING OF THE TENNIS TEAM plenty of material to fill the vacant gaps. Trautman ...........
