TRACK - 1945 With only a handful of lettermen re- porting to Coach F. E. Cope for the 1945 track season, the outlook was indeed dis- mal. D. Gottschling, W. Ward, B. Boone, R. Baughman, C. Schaefer, W. Stoudt, W. Brian and F. Lanney were the letter- men with the latter two being ineligi- ble part of the time. Gone were the stars of the year before who won seven meets, placed third in the McKinley Relays, fifth in the district, and took a second place in the mile run at the state meet. However, the freshman and sopho- more classes produced some promising material. Among them were Dan Craw- ford, 440 yard dash, Dick Theiss, dashes and jumps, John Huddleston, dashes and hurdles, Bob Pager, weights, Ted Boone jumps, Billy Urbanowicz, distance runs, Lee Ward and Jack Wilson, middle dis- tance and relays, Ray Mercer, hurdles, and Pete Cain, weights, plus many others. Among those who lived up to expec- tations were John Stoita, hurdles fvar- ! sity letterig Bill Ward, captain for 1946, dash, hurdles lvarsity letterrg Ray Sny- der, middle distance lvarsity letterl, Glenn Thorne, captain of cross country, distance events Cvarsity letterlg Ansley Mitchell, middle distance fvarsity let- terl, Bob Little, middle distance fvar- sity letterlg Bob Roessler, pole vault fvarsity letterlg Howard Herrington, pole vault, 440 lvarsity letterbg Dan Craw- ford, 440 fvarsity letterig Dick Gott- schling, relays fvarsity letterig Bob Pag- er, discus lvarsity letterlg Walt Brian discus, fvarsity letterl. The managers were J. Crawford, G. Leach, S. Vavrek, R. Harris and J. Litty. The track team won one dual meet, lost three, got 17th in the State meet, 15th place at McKinley Relays, 16th place at District meet, sixth at Uhrichs- ville relays and second in county meet. With all the good material back, Coaches Cope and Barrett expect a top notch sea- son in 1946. 7 Top row-left to right-Mutt, up and over, track team.

Coach Frank J. Tarr's Salem High Freshman basketball squad completed the season, with a very successful record of thirteen wins and two setbacks. This year marked the fifth anniversary of the organization of freshman basketball in Salem High School. Each year the in- terest in this team in the district tourna- ment for ninth grade squads has steadily increased. The freshman team made an impressive showing in this year's tourna- ment, advancing to the semi-finals. Ed Bozich proved to be the spark plug in scoring as he led the team from his for- ward post, closely followed by Wilford Faulkner. The remaining members of the starting crew were Walter Ehrhart, Tom Miner and Dick Tolson. Bob Camp- bell, Wilbert Faulkner, Jerry Miller, Jack Scullion and Jerry Smith also saw considerable action during the campaign. The Yearlings opened the season as they trampled the East Palestine Frosh 31-5. After gaining their second easy vic- tory at the hands of the Leetonia first year men 42-10, they met a strong Gosh- en Reserve quintet and barely eked out a 29-27 win. After tripping the East Palestine out- Ht again 40-8 and defeating the Fair- mount Children Home Varsity 32-17, the Tarrmen encountered their toughest foe, the Alliance State Street Freshmen, emerging victorious 29-23. The little Quakers chalked up their seventh win over a highly rated East Liv- erpool Frosh five 35-23. Ed Bozich shone in the next tilt as he scored seventeen markers to lead the locals to a 38-27 vic- tory over the Alliance Broadway Fresh- men. Alliance State Street once again lost by a score of 35-33 as did the Sebring youngsters, 37-15. Thus the Tarr-coach- ed Hve ended the regular season with 10 victories and no defeats. The Quakers won their first three en- counters in the Massillon Tournamentg edging Alliance State St. for the third time 25-22, then lashing the Canton Cen- tral Catholic Frosh 31-18 and Longfellow AH Freshman from Massillon 39-19.

CROSS CGUNTRY For the first time after a four-year lay-off, Salem High had a Cross Country team. The organization was again coach- ed by Frederic E. Cope. Ten boys ans- wered Cope's call last fall: Glenn Thorne, Bill Urbanowicz, Dick Tolson, John Bush, Tony Viola, Doug Pederson, John Stro- jeck, Jerry Misakian, and Ansley Mit- chell, manager. Coach Cope scheduled three meets for his group of two milers: a dual met with Struthersga quadrangu- lar with Warren, Boardman and Struth- ers, and the district meet at Akron. In the dual contest with Struthers, Sa- lem was edged out by one point, 28-27. Glenn Thorne took first place with a time of 10:59. Bill Urbanowicz took fourthg Tony Viola, sixth, Dick Tolson, seventh and John Strojeck, tenth. In the quadrangular meet, won by Boardman, Salem placed third, Warren copped second and Struthers, fourth. Glenn Thorne again took first place in 12:53.5, the 21 mile course being slow and soggy. Thorne placed fifth in the district meet at Akron, which saw twelve schools rep- resented by seventy-seven athletes. Thorne's place among the first ten en- titled him to compete in the State meet at Mansfield. At the State meet, Thorne took 48th place out of 175 places. Thorne and Ansley Mitchell received varsity letters, and each of the other eight boys received reserve letters. The letters were designed by Captain Thorne and handed out to the boys in a recognition assembly.
