K rl hey believe a good beginning is a good ending '-so they began with L, 1 victory. Although they were not as strong and invincible as our girls' teams in previous years have been, they managed to end with victory and so live up to the old adage about beginnings and endings, The Lowellville game proved the highlight as well as the last light of the season. lVith a score of 15-7 at the end of the first half the game seemed to be I,owellville's but the second half gave fifteen points to our girls, which made the game ours by one point. The game was won by a basket shot just as the whistle was about to blow. Next year's team is determined to carry out good beginnings and better endings, but they are going to have plenty of victories in the middle also. Here's luck, girls!

They A defeated every major team in the county with the exception of Lowell- L, 1 ville, but they ended the regular season with an average of about fifty per cent. ln the county tournament they upset Springfield and Canfield but lost to Greenford in an overtime game. They were defeated by Canfield for consolation honors. The boys fought hard. especially against teams supposedly stronger than they, and they never gave up. The team loses four members: Dick Volosin, Bob Johnston, Bud Goodridge, and Louis Mather: however, the prospects for a championship team next year are very bright. The boys wish to let lllr. Heed know that they appreciate all that he has done for them.

20 THE PIONEER 193-4- IOI 'On TI-IE TRACK MEET HIC Poland boys have finally come throughl After years of hard struggle, unlucky breaks, and frustrated hopes, Poland won the county track and be A field meet at Canfield, lllay -l, 193-l. Heretofore Poland has always been just a point or two behind first place, and this year's victory was doubly gratifying in that it was clean-cut and decisive. The final score for Poland was -H points, and the next closest team had 33. The team was exceptionally well-balanced and the boys were in almost perfect condition. Dick Volosin won the high hurdles race and tied the county record. -lack Countryman won the half-mile race and also tied the county record. Then he placed second in the broad jump. Eddie Slagle and Louis Mather ran one-two in the quarter mile as did Bud Goodridge and Bob Carpenter in the low hurdles. Bud Goodridge also won the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Tommy Richards placed third in the pole vault and Steve Chuey placed third in the discus throw. Our mile relay team, consisting of Louis iylather, Kenneth Granger, .lack Countryman, and Eddie Slagle, was barely nosed out of first place by Lowellville and ran such a close race that Lowellville had to break the record to heat them. The track squad was awarded the team trophy. a beautiful plaque. VVe hope to have many such trophies to hang beside it in the future. f7...7 THE N. E. O. TRACK MEET The Northeastern Ohio District track meet was held at Rayen Stadium. Youngstown, on May 12. The Poland boys again demonstrated their superiority over the other county schools, but were defeated by two Columbiana County schools. Leetonia won with 50 points, Columbiana was second with -FSV5 points, and Poland third with 38 points. The next highest school had 19 points. Although Poland only annexed one first, the team. was sufficiently well-balanced to take many second and third places and the issue was in doubt up to the last two or three events. The Poland half-mile and mile relay teams received second and third respectively. Dick Volosin copped first place in the high hurdles and third in the javelin. -lack Countryman received second in the half-mile and Steve Chuey fifth in the discus throw. Bud Goodridge got second in the century dash and low hurdles. and also fifth in the 220 yard dash. Eddie Slagle received second in the quarter mile and Louis lllather got fourth. Bob Carpenter also placed in the low hurdles, getting fourth place. Again the boys and lllr. Heed should be congratulated for a fine showing and for high ranking in the District athletic circles.
