IRACK H153 In the spring of 1953, Coach White called out his track candidates. By working hard and with the able assistance of Coach White and Mr. Beyer, the boys developed several individual stars and were strong in all events except the mile. In the first meet of the year, the Riot thinclads easily trounced Old Town showing superior form in all field events. Next they handily beat both Brewer and Old Town in a triangular meet at the Uni- versity of Maine. Ellsworth was next on the list and provided a tune up for the P, V, C, , with the Riots again dominating both track and field. The next week Orono won their second triumph in two years in the P, V, C, meet, everyone doing exceptional jobs. Lin Hachey set a new record in the shot put while Bill Busching was tying the one in the 440 yard dash. The boys then journeyed to Colby college to participate in the State Meet. Here the boys gave good account of themselves, coming in a strong second to Wells, who had won the three previous years. In this meet Hachey won the shot put, tied for second in the pole vault, and won the discus, followed closely by Witter in second and Gibbs in fifth to continue their domination in this event. Bill Busching took a first in the 440 to remain unbeaten in this event, second in the javelin, and fourth in the 880. Frank Beyer came through with a third in the 180 yard low hurdles, fourth in the 120 yard high hurdled, and a fifth in the broad jump. Ervin Morrison copped a second place in the broad jump and a fourth in the 100 yard dash. Return- ing lettermen are: Tom Gibbs, Dick Witter, Dave Adams, Frank Beyer, Bill Busching, Ron St. Louis, John Dall, and Jim Abbott. 48

Guard Ronnie StLouis led the scoring with an output of 204 points. Close behind were forwards Paul Prue with 130 points and Ray- mond Savoy with 118 points. Guard Richard Brockway and center Francis Fuller completed the starting combine. Frank Simpson joined the club in midseason to provide some much needed height. With eight seniors leaving the varsity squad, several of this ROW 3. years J, V, team should help to produce another outstanding varsity club next year. Credit is due to Mr. Deering for his tire- less effort and coaching ability.
