Track fans know how much difference a scant fraction of a second or a few inches can mean in a track or field event. Alex Jim and Spike show you how far they missed in important events during the season. Coaches Stone and Carman also get in the spirit and help demonstrate. Track had a come-back at KI-IS for the 1952-53 season. With a blend of experienced seniors and husky soph omores, the Chiefs showed well at every meet they entered.
