When Coach -1 Weaver put in the call for candidates for the 1927 track team, he met with a ready 1 response from a sq-uad of about thirty men who reported on the field for practice. Coach Nveaver immediately began to put his men through the paces and develop an awkward, ' inexperienced lot of men into a competent team. At a recent meeting of the men of the 1 1928 track team, Abramson was elected to pilot the team through what promised to be a 1' hard season for the Lemon and Black. I-le, with Snead and Stead, made iup the old-man nucleus about which the new team was to form. ' We had our first encounter with Virginia Episcopal School and I-largrave, at Virginia Episcopal School, in a triangular meet. All of the team fought untiringly to win the meet 1 1 but, as we had all raw material, we were defeated, Hargrave Winning and Virginia I N Episcopal School coming second. Our next meet was with Danville Military Institute on 1 the home field, which was very muddy from an all-night rain. The home team was ' defeated by a very close score. I-largrave Military Academy next took our team into camp at Chatham by the very close score of 54-42. The last meet of the season was with 1 Lynchburg High School on the home field. We were again defeated. lt Snead proved himself very capable in the 220, broad jump and the low hurdles, while -I :LT Phlegar and Nance showed themselves to be tip top weight men. Dawson and Snead took i 1 'T care of the 440 in fine order for men who never-ran before. Abramson is a man of no 4-S mean ability in the broad jump and 100-yard dash. Kolipinski, with a little training, will prove himself to be one of the best umilersn in the state. Snead is making a record for himself in pole vault, attaining the height of ten feet, six inches. . What are the prospects for this season? Snead is Captain-Elect, and Phlegar is the E ' Captain of Weights. With these men as a nucleus, and with the enthusiasm shown at the first practices by the number of men reporting, we look forward to a successful season. , I lol 1 1 4 As- - Ill' 1 -S1111 0
