Hennessey, too, bids fair to become a champion in his event, high jumping. More than once Dean has just barely missed clearing the six-foot mark. Most of his jumps have cleared the five-ten barrier. Chuck Wilson has distinguished himself ,as of probably conference cham- pionship caliber, too, in successfully trouncing his opponents in the quarter mile run. l-lis best time to date is an excellent 53.2. Dave Wrisley, conference broad jump champ of last year, has had consid- erable difficulty with his tootsies and therefore has not lived up to expectations. The coaches feel sure that Dave Will respond to treatments and Win back his title. Doc l-litzel also has gathered a good number of points for the school in the pole vaulting event. Doc Was one of the boys troubled with ineligibility and it was not until Coach Boches found some technicality in the ruling that he Was permitted to strut his stuff. Sam Timpton, whose illustrious brother left an envi- able record here some two years ago, came in for more than his share of points in pushing Wintermute for the hurdles title. The two hurdlers gave La Grange the best duet in the conference. The outcome of the conference meet, which will be held as usual at La Grange, will tell Whether or not the Lions will cop the Presidents cup, emblem- atic of all around supremacy in conference competition. lf the boys Win the meet they Will be assured of the cup no matter what the other schools do. A sec- ond in the standings would give the school no worse than a tie in the Presidents ratings and, should anyone but York Win the set-to, La Grange would still be the winner ,I Lx. 1 1 7 L -y E K ff r .aft HENNESSEY SABAN Page 113

Smith, Kraymer, Hitzel, Wiritermute, Timpton Hitzel, Wintermute, Timpton, Raschke, Wilson The indoor competition, as said earlier, has not been anything too encour- aging. Almost never did the boys win a dual meet and seldom have they placed any higher than fourth in open competition. This dearth of victories can be at- tributed to the competition in other sports whose season ran over into the track schedule. A considerably brighter look came into the eyes of Coaches Boches and Bennett when the basketball year was completed. lmmediately they began to await the opening of the outdoor season with fire and defiance in their minds. New strategy was working in their brains as to how they could prepare the new- comers for the meets. They set their thoughts on the approaching encounters with St. lgnatius and Morton as conditioners, and planned to really take control of the next two or three relays. While the coaches will regret the loss of such competent performers as Saban, Wrisley, Wintermute, and Wilson, the nucleus of an even better team will be left. Timpton, Hitzel, and Hennessey are only juniors and should form a sound basis for the l94l thinclads. Also a competent group of lads comes up from the frosh-soph team. Wallner, Vossberg, Lawrenz, McNielly, Nichols, Wor- rell, Winters, and Dease were stamped as first string material by Coach Bennett in a recent interview. The last track meet played prior to this writing was against St. Ignatius from Chicago. The final score was 75-38. From all indications the success of the outdoor track team will be better than that of the indoor team. Page 114
