Chambers, the crimson tracksters had shown plenty of talent in their first seven meets and as time for the sectional meet drew nearer the Red aggregation gradually gained in polish and experience. Before covering the 1939 regular track season, let us turn back the pages of time to the fall of 1938 and review briefly the cross country team, a near-state championship outht. The cross countriers opened their card against Horace Mann of Gary and surprised even their most enthusiastic backers by turning back the Horseinen, 15-45. That 15-45 count in cross country language spells shutout, for the Red har- riers copped the first six places in their dual en- gagement with the Gary team. The Redskins made it two in two by tripping Bryan. Ohio, by the same score for their second shutout. Muncie fCentrall halted the North Siders shutout streak but couldn,t stop the Redskins from winning the dual fracas 19-40. Came their fourth meet of the season, with Elkhart supplying the opposition and falling before the Indians 21-34. Northis best cross country man, Ross Leakey, was on the side- lines with an injured leg. The Chambersmen fol- lowed this with a brilliant triumph over Ham- 18 mond, 24-34, with Leakey still out of action. Mishawaka dropped a dual meet to North, 23-34, and the Red runners were still undefeated with a record of six consecutive victories. The Crim- son squad retained this brilliant mark by whip- ping a sextet of other outfits in the annual Muncie Open. This triumph was regarded as the classiest win registered by Chambers' boys. North Side's brilliant season record made the Redskins the outstanding favorites to capture the state harrier crown which they had won in 1937. However, with Leakey running a poor race due to his leg injury, the Red contingent faded in the state meet and wound up third, as Froebel copped the title and Technical of Indianapolis ran second. Eugene Love, Ross Leakey, Don Kemp, Dick Hetrick, Jim Pavey, Bob Winner, and Bill Chand- ler were the Reclskin regulars who carried North Side to the undefeated season. North Side's cinder path experts opened their 1939 schedule in a dual fracas with Hammond. The Wildcat outfit, 1938 state champions, gained revenge for the beating the cross country har- riers handed them by squelching the Red outfit 61-34. North Side could get only two first places,
