Cross Country—City Champions The Lane Cross Country team, which has be¬ come more powerful each year, has captured its fifth consecutive city championship. The Harriers who ran in the city meet at Washington Park broke the sixteen year old record of 24 by racking up a 21 point win. The low mark wins in cross country competition. The previous week they won the mythical sub¬ urban crown by beating 13 schools in the Pro¬ viso Township Invitational in which over 100 boys ran. Lane scored the lowest with 66, while Proviso ran second with 83, Schurz third with 93, and Morton fourth with 109. The Quad¬ rangle meet between Lane, Schurz, Du Sable and Thornton was a rout with Lane scoring 26 to Schurz’ second place of 41. The only perfect day for the harriers came when they engaged Emer¬ son and rang up a perfect 15 to 112 triumph, the first five men being from Lane. The “Hill and Dale” boys had such a powerful squad this year that they could have sacrificed their first five placers and still have won the city championship. The teams’ winning spree started back in 1938 when they recovered from a pre¬ year slump to take a second place in the city contest. In 1939 they repeated the second place performance and gathered strength for the fol¬ lowing year when they won the crown, hands down. And so it has been for five successive years and according to Coach Siebert the re¬ turning squad for next season will be better. Captain A1 Kaenel, a 4B, led his team to the city title by taking a third place in the city meet. Carl Wichmann was low man and fastest Lane runner by virtue of his second place berth. Placing fourth was Hal Cook another top run¬ ner and a June graduate. Next in line was Den¬ nis Manning, who is only a 3B. Manning, who placed fifth will be captain of the 1945 squad. Douglas Bowers was Lane’s fifth man to place. He held the Tech’s score down by capturing a seventh place berth. Coming in a fast thirteenth was Jack Heida another June graduate. James Koehler, a 4A graduate, is the Chicago Cross Country Novice Champion. The Championship Cross Country Team is filled out by such able runers as: Earl Rutzen, John Klages, Paul Spiewak, Mathew Ciechen, William Rajkowski, Bill McDermott, Eugene Lesser, Jerry Proesel, Robert Olafs, Leo Wiens, Ralph Lepcin, James Stewart, Robert Levy, Richard Miller, Donald Russell, Robert Christ¬ ensen, Alfred Lenczewski, Jerry Florence, Skib- bens, Moreno, Hemple, Wienierski and Michalak. Harold Feldman ably handles the publicity and managing departments. Page 7imety-four

Swimming - City Champions The Lane senior swimming team won its tenth consecutive title in the annual 20 yard swim¬ ming championships at the University of Chi¬ cago by rolling up 38 points against 10 for the second place teams. During the seaso n the team had engaged Crane Tech and Oak Park, beating both. The splashers downed Crane 66 to 6 and Oak Park 36 to 30. In the city meet Bob Gibe led the scoring by winning the 40 and 220 yard freestyle events. Captain Glenn Weber hung up a second place in the 100 yard breastroke and the 180 yard med¬ ley relay. Bob Lefley, veteran boardman won the fancy diving over the favored Kachinskas of Tilden. George Wietor, sage of the swimming team, placed third in the 220. Jack Albers just failed to place by one tenth of a second. A1 Greiner and Harry Madsen captured third and fourth place berths in the 100 yard backstroke swim. Earl Terp who anchored the second place medley relay with Madsen at backstroke placed forth in the 100 yard crawl. Bob Wiess just missed scoring in the 100. Four fast men in the persons of Don Coope, Walter Krautstrunk, Jack Tillson, and Dave Allen swam a terrific race to win the 160 yard relay. Paul Hedmark and Jim Holloway, new¬ comers on the diving board, show great promise. The junior team completely dominated the field in the junior 20 yard pool championships by winning five of the seven first places and pil¬ ing up 43 points to Senn’s and Schurz’ second place 14. Earlier in the season they beat Crane Tech 37 to 14 and later beat Oak Park 42 to 13. Captain Johnny Nickolich sparked his team by winning the 40 yard breastroke race with yards to spare and later he boosted the medley relay into a new city record. Ralph ‘Red’ John¬ son raced in to take the backstroke crown and then one event later he captured third place in the 100 yard freestyle swim. George ‘Joey’ Thompson defending board champ won his event again with about 20 points to spare. Lance Sandburg, Thompson’s running mate, grabbed the second place berth. Jack Thomas sliced him¬ self by taking two places and a second in the 40 and 100 yard freestyle sprints. Bud Gries- bach, backstroke on the first place medley, won a third place spot in the 40 yard backstroke swim. Anchoring the medley relay was Herman Lehman who splashed his way to fourth place in the 100 yard freestyle race. The championship 160 yard relay was com¬ posed of Elmer Newell, who took fourth in the 40 yard sprint, George Howard, Herb Johnson, and Dennis Holfnagle, who anchored. Page ninty-five
