It looked as if we would have a good team. There are three lettermen retuming to bolster Coach McKenzie's flying Tigers. These boys include Paul Hulka, fast dash man and relay man, while Bob Werner comes back to run the 440 and relay for Mac with Ronald Zoratti, the other letterrnan, trying his luck with the shot. New comers and others retuming include Clifford Georiche, running the mile: Paul Cook and Doug Garvey, half milers and dash men, DePoy, Ramsey, and Howell. Howell and Borgman have been doing well on the hurdles. The Tigers are green, but could develop into a strong track team. Watch their dust and spikes, while we sign off now and go to press. -104-
