Indoor Track ARATHER new squad took the field under the coaching of Dan O'Crady and the moder- ating of Brother Michael to be downed by a star-studded Alumni team, 4-7-42. Although La Salle held an even pace with the former gradu- ates in the field events and the short distances, they were outscored 16-2 in the long-distance running. With practice going full force throughout the Christmas holidays, Dan O,Grady prepared his team for the all-important Malden Meet. This effort proved to be fruitful since the Maroon dominated the meet with a comfortable margin of 1215 points over the runner-up Malden Cath- olic. Three out of five events were won by 5? Salle with Irving Cilson winning high-scori ,X honors for the day. Cilson outraced all cgwpefi-I , .35 lap race. Topping the former record by 12 sec- onds the 2-mile relay quartet of Dick Lee, Pop Johnson, Johnny Phillips and Capt. Leo Sullivan annexed five more points to the La Salle total of 33. McCrane, Dillon, Norato, and Tiernan outran other contestants in the one-mile jaunt, while shortly after, Gilson, Walsh, Tetreault, and Lepry finished the Medley Relay more than seventy-tive yards ahead of a Hope competitor. A dual meet with Hope High proved very successful for the Maroon who swept three events in 1-2-3 order, besides placing men in at least one of the first three spots in all other events. In the running high jump Ed Crofton led, closely followed by Neirinck and Ferrara, who tied for second place. Lepry, Phillips, and Johnson fin- ished 1-2-3 in the 1000, while Bob Phayre nipped tors as he broke the 40-yard lowih r tff it lead from Joe Marcello at the tape Bob Conrad Tetreault equalled the pr 'iil 'i 'ii :i I d th. d t I t th M ' , ' he 600- ard run in the fast t' ' 051:-2 1,, W ': 1': .Alf-' a ce .

In the 45-yard low hurdles Tom Norato equalled the State rec- ord, followed closely by Ron Florio and Irv Gilson. In the Rhode Island Interscholastic Carnival La Salle demonstrated precision in teamwork by placing first in every event except the shot-put. Ed Crofton, Gerard Ferrara, and Roland Nei- rinck amassed a total that placed La Salle first against five competitors in the high-jump. The one-lap relay was swept by the combined efforts of Giornelli, Marcello, Aldrich, and Phayre. The same four returned to the boards to win the two- One Hundred Thirty-four Madison Square Garden to place fifth in the National Interscholastics. The Maroon was beset by very costly accidents in the rough contest at the Garden. In the two-mile relay Lou Lepry was sprawled onto the boards by a hit-and-run operator. This gave the Maroon speedster about a fifteen yard deficit, by which he might have won the race. In another collision Dick Lee was cut over the eye and cheek, and as a result was forced to leave the mile event. Outstanding for La Salle was Tom Norato, Heet-footed hurdler, who won the 60-yard low hurdle event. Other scorers with Lepry in the 2-mile relay were Leo Sullivan, Conrad Tetreault, and ,lohn Phillips.
