Starters return tcont'dl She's the glue around which we're building the girls' team, he remarked, referring to Nan Cham- bers. She is a junior who transferred from Arkansas to take the number 1 position on the team. Out of a field of 18 teams, the Lions took fifth place at the Cam- eron Classic, an annual tournament held in Lawton. If they had not had handicaps such as two absent players and 19 degree weather, Coach Tomlin feels they may have placed higher. Other tournaments included the Douglass Tournament and the Mid- west City Invitational, both of which were held in March. According to Coach Tomlin, the toughest teams are generally the private school teams, because those schools can recruit talent. He listed Heritage Hall and Bishop McGuin- ness among the toughest the Lions have faced. GIRLS TENNIS TEAM.

Track takes third place at Myriad An exciting sport, like track, draws the attention of many fans. At the Midwest City Track Tournament, there was a crowd of 1300. At this tournament, which was held in the Myriad, the boys performed well, considering it was their first meet. Clay Southard did exceptionally well. He high jumped six feet, six inches, which set a school record. Lonnie Ocker placed third in 300- yard dash and Dennis Wigley placed third in 60-yard dash. Track is mainly a self-discipline sport. All sports need discipline of course, but with track you must set your own pace, three year letter- man, Lonnie Ocker, said. There were over seventeen track meets attended by Moore High. Out of the 17 were five invitationals. Moore held their own invitational April 7. Four returning starters who placed an unexpected third in state last year, formed the nucleus of the team. They were Lonnie Ocker, Eddie Factor, Dennis Wigley and Clay Southard. They were the lead- ing scorers in every meet. The team was expected to do great this year, especially in the 440-yard relay and the mile relay in which they placed third and second in state last year. The coaches were Mr. Jack Miller, 'i' tw 166 . ,K Mr. Jim Caster and Mr. Mike Torres. Distance running is what Cross Country is all about. Most of the distance runners in the short season sport also partici- pated in track, coached by Mr. Jack Miller. The Regionals were held in Law- ton and the guys placed third all- around. At State, held in Tulsa, the Lions finished seventh all-around. Phil Maytubby, senior, said, We represented Moore well, consider- ing that this is only a second year sport. ln the future, we should be a stronger and more experienced team. Coach Miller did an excellent job coaching us in Cross Country.
