TRACK TEAM STARTS SLOWLY, GOMES, STANDISH, POWER, WILSON LOOK SHARP TRACK SCHEDULE On the basis of the first three meets - Varsity and B losses to Willits, Healdsburg, and Santa Rosa - the Vikings' prospects for team success in track were not too bright. Lack of depth cost us those meets and will probably cost us more, said Coach Bob Acquistapace. Numbers are the key to a successful track team, track requires more men than any other sport. We have only twelve A's, fourteen B's, and eight C's competing. Also, transfers and iniuries hurt us, we lost six lettermen. Outstanding early season individuals for the varsity were Gil Gomes, in the 100 and 220, Bob Standish in the 440, Tim Power in the 880, and Ken Wilson in the high and the low hurdles and the brood iump. Ken Brown and Larry Cassidy looked promising in the weight events. Top B point-getters were John Westrom, high hurdles, broad iump, and high iump, Vern Leete, 330, Mike Gerboth, 660, Heyden Rhodes, shot put ond discus, and Dave Arnsten, sprints, pole vault, and shot. The C's, untested in the first three meets because the Opponents did not field C teams, had returning letterman Dave Sweeney in the sprints, and Ken Wagy in the sprints and hurdles, Dennis Asti in the shot, Dennis Ponzo in the 660, and Ralph Harmon in the shot.

COACH ROGERS FORECASTS TIGHT RACE We promise to be'one of the toughest teams in the league, said Coach Rogers way back in March: with Don Cadman pitching - ' for us, l expect a close race. With seven returning lettermen and a large group of sophomore potentials, the prospects for a close race and for MHS's being in the thick of it seemed even more at hand. The Viking nine began early in the season with crucial wins over Petaluma and Healdsburg. Montgomery, behind 5-0, scored four runs in the sixth and two in the seventh to edge Petaluma, 6-5. Catcher Jack Levar singled Windy Callahm in with the tie-breaker. Dennis Spero had cleared the bases with a double in the sixth. Hurler Don Cadman struck out fifteen and allowed only one hit to score a 3- 2 victory over Healdsburg. Cadmm's pitching re- cord in his first twenty-nine innings was 55 strikeouts and only 3 earned runs. After the first six games, big men with the stick were Prentice 0'Leary, 368: Jack Levar, 357, and Lynn Dunlap, 333.
