4 X1 gzfw-Lex, fl TRACK Although Southwest failed to place higher this year in the Interscholastic Track Meet than last year. the season proved to be quite successful.

Constantly on the ascent, the team this year capped last year's record by tieing for second place in the High School league. Other honors were given to individuals on the team by being chosen for various all-star teams. The squad opened the season with a practice game against South Side Catholic which was taken by the Longhorns, l2 to 6. Another well played practice game with St. Louis U. High ended in a scoreless tie. The first league game against the tough McKinley Gold Bugs proved to be rather disappointing to the Longhorns, who had been pre-season favorites. Simpson Howard of McKinley scored their lirst touchdown early in the third period, Big Jim Kekeris later went over for the second mark. After a hard fought game, our grid team lost to Maplewood in their annual game, lO to 6. The Beaumont-Southwest game was a happy as they stampeded Beaumont by the score of 19 to O.
