Veterans as well as green-horns assembled and displayed the spirit of true athletes. An- swering the first call were EdU Neal, already a name in Lebanon High Track history, Bill Viall, I-Iunsen Wagner, Bob Piarote, Ber- nard Neely, Frank Haak, Gordon Lewis, i'Russ Brandt, Earl Youtz, and 'gEd', Stew- BFI. Coach Thrush's track weakness lay chiefly in the Held and weight events, provided tal- ent could be developed there, Lebanon ex- pected to have a banner year in Track. Coach Feeser and Coach Giles divided these events between them, the former taking high jumps, broad jumps, and pole vaulting, and the latter the weight events-shot put, discus, and jave- lin. Coach Thrush took over the running events. The Cedar cinder path boys hit their stride in their opening meet with William Penn on the local field. Showing skill were Bob Piarote, who took first place in the century and 220 and who ran on the winning mile- relay team, Ed Neal, another veteran, who turned in a hrst place in the mile and an- chored the mile-relay team, Bernard Neely, who was second in high jumps, Gordon Lew- is, who won in the low hurdles, Hunse,' Wagner, who ran the third leg of the mile- relay, and Bill Viall, who ran a close third in the IOO. The trackmen were leading the Penn speedsters until the results of the weight and field events came in. Unfortunately for the runners, the weight men lost twenty points out of twenty-four. This gave William Penn a hard-earned victory over the Cedars by the score of 59-69. The mile-relay team ventured to Philadel- phia where they competed in the Penn Relays. L. H. S. finished fourth, the same as last year, in competition with the Big Fifteen schools. The team met a setback when their anchor man, Ed', Neal, dislocated his knee. Other members of the team who carried L. H. S. forward through a prosperous series of event- ful rneets were Haak, VVagner, Piarote, Bow- man, and Stewart.

To start things off with a bang on Friday afternoon, March 7, it began to snow and continued to snow till the country was blan- keted in eleven inches of snow. This, how- ever, did not dampen the spirit of the boys who held the first few weeks of practice in the L. H. S. gym. Here the battery mates threw the balls back and forth, the infield sharpened their eyes on rollers, and the out- fielders even had batting practice. This was not very eliicient, however, but finally Old Man Weather gave the boys a break, and they went to work on the new Stadium field. This year the team again participated in the Central Pennsy Baseball League. The team planned to play a twenty-game schedule, twelve of which were league games. Coach Angle expressed high hopes for Il banner season if he could find some good pitchers. He had a veteran returning for near- ly every position except the mound. Some of the boys who showed their value last year at one position or another as regulars or reservists are: Bob Hess, Tom Shucy, Sterl Peiffer, Ken Heberling, K'Pip Sper- aw, Bob Sando, Buck Fields, and Shor- tyl' Fields. There were some promising soph omores. We are hoping that this combination will carry the colors of Lebanon High to great heights in league play.
