Despite the many new and inexperienced faces appearing for the track squad this year, the team made remarkable accomplish- ment. In its first test of the season the thin clads upheld the last year's record of plac- ing fifth in the Mesa College Relays in which meet forty schools participated. Bad weather forced the cinder-men to confine their practices to the gymnasium during most of the season. In the Union Track Meet the following week, the Rangely team placed third, de- pending on the prowess of Don Collier who placed in four events. Bill Barrett, Tom Rabourn, Bill Hefley, and Alan Yeager con- tributed heavily to the Panthers' position.
