The home bout with the Roosevelt track men showed the Rangelyites tobe the strong- est. The major upset sent the Utahans home under the heavy penalty of 85 to 62. Bill McKnight's fine sprinting really paid off in the 220-yard dash. Yeager and Crown again dazzled the spectators as they performed with the usual adeptness. The Northwest Conference Meet in Meeker was the next undertaking of the Panther track- sters. Here the local boys upset the plans of meet favorites by tying for second. Butch Lanam was the brightest Rangely star, being followed very closely by the ever depend- able Don Collier, Noel Crown and Alan Yeager. Three underclassmen qualified at the Fruita Meet for the State tournament. Alan Yeager, brilliant jumper, Noel Crown, soaring high jumper, and I'Dean Redding, flash miler, won spots that would enter them in the state meet in Boulder. Butch Lanam narrowly missed qualifying as he was nudged into fourth place in the high hurdles by the slightest mar- gin. Besides these notable accomplishments the team finished sixth in a field of thirteen competitors. Two of the Rangelyites competing in the State Meet in Boulder brought great recog- nition to their team by placing first in their individual events. Again spring-footed Alan Yeager beat all other schoolboys in the state in his first jump to win the unquestioned broad jump blue ribbon. Reliable Noel Crown flew without difficulty to shame all other participants in the pole vault and be- come the state champion in that event. Al- though Redding missed making the honors he completed his mile behind the five minute mark. Rangely is extremely proud of these outstanding sportsmen and places great hope in their next year's season.

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.
