Undaunted at the slim prospects of a fruitful season, Coach Sullivan seized the helm with a firm hand and after strenuous days of diligent work, moulded a track team worthy of La Salle. With such remaining veterans as Molloy, Dowling, Harrington and Driscoll and with the addition of a crew of newcomers including such promising material as Harrop, Goff, Williams, Mullins, Spillame, McCullough, O'Brien, Dooley, Weedon, Campbell, Morry, Cronin, Tracy, and Kelley, La Salle seemed set to maintain its supremacy on the cinder path and in the field events as well. With the smashing Victory at the Cycledrome for a starter the La Salle aggregation encountered stiff opposition from the Y.M.C.A. Seniors and finished second. In the Warwick meet La Salle nosed out the Blue and White 3612. Eighty

1932-3 Burrillville was the first victim of the Sullivanfcoached aggregation falling 19-36. Mol' loy breezed home without oppositiong Burrillville's ace, Grenther finished well in the rear. On October 14, Rogers suffered a set back at La Salle's hands. The Maroon harriers triumphed by a perfect score. In this fray Molloy finished with Crowther a hair's breadth behind Olean. Harrington also figured in the scoring. The Moses Brown meet which was expected to be closely contested turned out to be another walk away. Molloy romped over the course in record breaking time while Wilde of M.B. had difficulty in Hguring in the scoring. However, his third kept La Salle from making a perfect score. The Pawtucket meet resulted in an easy victory with La Salle capturing four scoring places. Chris Molloy led the pack the entire distance followed by Crowther and W. Russell. The State meet was the cause of much controversy in so far as Allen, Central's star harrier, and Molloy were precontest favorites. As was expected Molloy bested Allen and stole individual honors, but Central pushed Pickering, Asher and Halpin across the finish in short order to clinch the title. At Newark Prep, La Salle took a second place from among the cream of New England schools. In this contest Fred Crowther led the Maroon pack home to beat Molloy. Seventyfnine

However, three lone veterans survived graduation, Jaworsky, Ckolovitz and Lefebvre, and replacements were difficult. Newcomers in the persons of Delaney, McGuinf niss and Cronin soon appeared and all seemed well. After a glorious start in which they defeated the ultimate state champions 3413, the Maroonfclad quintet faltered. It was only towards the end of the season that the team regained its form. It was generally conceded that the staleness was due to the fact that there was no rest period for the players between the football and basketball seasons. Of the eighteen games played the team won ten and lost eight. Despite hardship the La Salle quintet placed seventh in the league playfoff. In the allfstate selections, Walter Qkolovitz and John Jaworsky were picked. The other members of the team were given honorable mention. Coach Kreiger need not be discouraged. He hit the stars once, he can do it again. Eightyfone
