TRACK -A' ak The Cadet Thinclads start- ed the season with a decided lack of lettermen returning from last year's squad. Other cadets came out and formed the 1943 edition of the R. M. A. track team. After two weeks of practice, the squad was picked. The first meet was a new one for the cadets, the Gen- eseo Relays. The competition was fast and the cadets fin- ished in sixth place out of 14 schools with 11 points. The varsity SSO-yard relay placed fourth, the 440-yard shuttle team was fourth, the mile relay placed third, and the distance medley team placed fourth. Entering the Davenport Relays for its second time, the squad showed vast im- provement since the last meet, finishing fifth out of 10 schools with 21 points, but only five points from second place. The varsity 440 relay placed second, the two-mile relay team was fourth, the sophomore 440 was fourth, and the varsity S80 was third. In the indi- viduals, Rosenbaum placed second in the high jump, Frieje, R., was fourth in the pole vault, Clausen was fourth in the shotput, and Sadowski was fourth in the broad jump. Meeting Aledo, Joy, and New Boston i11 a quad at our track, the Rough Riders upset the favored Aledo squad. It was a tough battle between Aledo and R.M.A., but the Rough Riders' clos- ing spurt gave them victory. This meet ended the track season l'or the cindermen. It was rather brief because of transportation difficulties, but for the short time they had to practice and train, the squad showed up excel- lently. 'lr Stn-tc-lm out lfllwood. l'p and over Bob.
