Jack Ruziclfc James Jeffries, Bob Derharmner, Robert Ewert Withthe Spring of I9I4.7 came a strong revival of track and field events which may indicate that track is gradually coming into its own among the major sports. Mattawan entertained the Galesburg and Kellogg track teams in dual meets and with persistence and hard running won both meets. The K. V. A. meet then held Mattawan to fourth place, but through the diligent efforts of Mr. Simmons and a renewed spirit, the team came through to win some fine honors in the State Regional Meet. Here Clyde Mumford did his bit in the field events to place second in the shot put, third in the broad Jump, and tied for first place In the high Jump, while Sheldon Weed tied for fourth place in the pole vault. On the track the relay team consisting of Powers, Harrington, Draglcevich, and Saunders sprinted to the flying finish of third. Clyde Mumford was the only representative from Mattawan to participate in the State Meet, and there won fifth honor in the shot put. The 19U8 track season holds Ray Carlisle, Lloyd Harrington, Frank Powers, Bob Derhammer, Steve Draglcevich and Leonard Reitkerk as the most promising dash and relay Candida te 3, while Sheldon Weec Jack Quar Dale Bourner and Clyde Mumford will be searching for honors in the field events. The mile, and half-mile runs will likely be treated by Dale Bourner, Robert Swanson, and Norman French. It la expected that several others will enter for their first time in the races for Blue and Gold, and come through in flying colors.
