Dual meet start against Illinois Normal. Quincy runners seen are Don Kabbes, Jerry Beenders and Bob Cull. Track and Cross-Country . . . Quincy College participated in seven cross- country meets this year; four of them being home meets and three away. The largest meet was at Homecoming when the first Quincy In- vitational Cross-Country meet was established. Letter winners of the season were Bob Cull, junior; Gary McBride, sophomore; Captain elect for ' 59) Jim Ribbe, sophomore; and the season ' s record was 4 Wins and 10 Losses. The track squad, perhaps the most under- rated team in our athletic system, had a suc- cessful season. Quincy Johnson received the lion ' s share of the plaudits, but Mike Gelven pushed him in the 100, 220, and the broad jump. John Zuzevich was consistent in the pole vault and weight events and occasionally endangered the high jumper ' s peace of mind with 5 ' 8 leaps. Track is possibly the most demanding of all sports both in physical labor and mental strain, and Coach Ortwerth led his men so that they were equal to the challenge. Coach John Ortwerth starts the Quincy College invitational cross-country meet. Coach John Ortwerth, Joe Sullivan, John Lavin, Don Gary McBride and Bob Cull in action. Kabbes and Jim Ribbe.

The directors of the Physical Education program are, Left to Right: Mr. James Pirn Goff, athletic director and basketball coach, Mr. David Costigan, intramurals director and base- ball coach, Miss Margaret Glynn, girls ' Physical Education, Mr. Roger Francour, assistant intramural director and wrestling and Mr. John Ortwerth, assistant basketball coach, cross- country and track coach. Tennis . . . The 1958 tennis squad was the first inter-collegiate activity in that sport for the college an d the racketeers did a reasonably good job, turning in a season ' s record of six wins and five losses. The lettermen included Bob Pfyl, Chuck Kerker- ing, Frank Frawley, Larry Brinkman, Ron Altstadt, and Roger Frankenhoff. The only senior letterman was Frank Frawley. The 1959 season has looked bright, although with the start of the second semester Ron Altstadt and Larry Brinkman were the only two net-men returnees. However, Kent Stickler, an outstanding Quincy High net-man ' has taken up a good deal of the slack for the Hawks. Matches this spring included Western Illinois, Culver-Stockton, Carthage, Washington University, MacMurray, and St. Louis University. View of the courts from Solano Hall, men ' s dormitory. 127
