TALLYING 21 POINTS, THE SWIMMING team placed fifth in the city meet, following Western, Denby, Northwestern, and Cooley. Pacing the squad were Harold Krause, who placed first in the 50-yard free style, and Richie Brown, Paul Wiseley, Bob McGrath, and Harold Krause of the 150-yard free style relay team, who took city honors in that event. In dual meet competition, Redford lost to Western, Northwestern, and .,Cooley, but.won four victories, over Central, Chadsey, Mac- kenzie, and Southwestern. WITH ONLY TWO VETERANS BACK FROM last year's squad, the cross country team re- corded for the season one victory and two de- feats. In the West Side finals the Harriers did better than expected, Joe Metz and Fred Stolicker placing third and fourth, respec- tively, behind Edmondson of Northwestern and Bob Davis of Cooley. In a previous meet with Northwestern, Joe had achieved what seemed impossible by defeating Bob Edmond- son, city mile champion last year. Then came the city finals, and Stolicker and Metz, Redford's two entries, placed 11th and 35th, respectively, far below their usual standards. Next year, however, they should make the nucleus of a much stronger team. IN FIELD HOCKEY, THE GIRLS ENDED their season with one win, two losses, and four ties. The victory was over Cooley, by the score of 3 to 1. Captain Peg Cusick was as- sisted by Lois McGinnis. REDFORD,S ENLARGED WART IME R.O.T.C. WAS headed by Cadet Major Kalin Johnson this semester.
