Cross Country ROSS COUNTRY is one of the most gruelling sports in which Central has ever competed. The participants are compelled to race for two miles over all types of ground and in all kinds of weather. Points are given for the respective positions in which the contestants fin- ish. The runner returning first receives one point for his team: the second run- ner receives two points, and so on until ten have crossed the finish line. The team receiving the least number of points Wins the meet. For the first time since 1932 Central had a cross country team. This year they showed their worth by winning four out of their six meets. In the first meet the Dragons, helping to dedicate Bryan's new stadium, were defeated by the close score of 27-28. Central came back in the next con- test and downed a weak Sidney team 16-39. Continuing their winning streak. the Red and Green bearers defeated a strong Dayton Roosevelt squad 22-23. Then Central overwhelmed Piqua by the one-sided score of 18-37. lThe harriers then went to Toledo to compete in the district meet and managed to place seventh. At the expense of Fremont, Central won a second meet by the close score of 27-28. The Dragons broke their winning streak by losing their last contest 27-28 to a strong Greenville squad. The team lost two meets, the first and the last, by the same scores, 27-28. The Red and Green barriers led by Coach Ron Dotson and managed by Bob Kemph, came through the season with a remarkable performance. Carl Young, Central's ace miler, was elected captain at the end of the season and led the team by having the least number of points. The other run- ners were Bill McGee, Elton Hamilton, John Whittington, Dick Roth, Harry Schipper, and Louis Hunter. The members lost to next year's team will be Carl Young, Bill McGee, John Whittington, and Dick Roth. Next year's meets will be held between halves of the varsity football games not only at home but at out-of-town varsity football games. ---BILL MYERS sixty-one
