Track s this is written the prospects for the track season appear bright. Several of last year's men answered Coach Carmody's call for candidates along with a large group of promising newcomers. The only source of difficulty lies in the fact that Captain Sylvio Conti will probably be out for part of the season because of a knee ailment. The team should prove strong with the experienced Raymond Sawyer running the mile and Bill Pierson on the half-mile. The 440, usually run by Conti, will be taken care of by Dick Sabin. Everett Gleason and Frank Limardi are good material for the 220 and 100 yard dashes. The broadjump will have likely candidates in Edward Germanowski, Sam Arena, and Leland Grady. Grady and William MacHaffie will also be out as high jumpers. Everett Tatro is a promising man for the pole-vault. The weight-men will probably be Richard LaBarbera, Edward Haddad, Anthony Calabrese, and Ed Germanowski. 108
