Traclk BY WALTER BEACH Track was somewhat of at novel sport at St. Edward's until recent years. The past few years, however, have witnessed its growth into a major sport on the campus. More and more aspirants each year are working for the advancement of the sport. This year has witnessed one of the greatest teams ever to represent St. EdWard's, as seen from the two meets in which the team took part prior to this writing. In the traingular meet held at San Mar- cos, between South Texas State Teachers College, St. Edward's University, and Schreiner Institute, the Saint thinly clads took second place. It was the hrst meet of the season, and according to Coach Hannan, it was the blossoming forth of a COACH DAN HANNAN number of track men, who before they iinish their college careers, should do much toward giving St. EdWard's a great cil1Cl61' Sqllad- The second meet of the season was 3 dual meet between the Saints and Schreiner Institute, held at Kerrville on April 11. In this meet the Saints emerged Victori- ous by a count of 62 to 50. This was the first track meet won by a Saint team since the inauguration of track as a major sport on the campus. Hannan's men came out of this meet with nine first places and a tie for first to their credit. The Saint schedule to date is not complete, but two more meets are certain. A dual meet with Southwestern university of Georgetown is being arranged, and it is certain that Hannan will enter his squad in the Conference meet to be held at Brownwood about the middle of May. The Conference meet will Find Hannan's squad on a par with the best. Hannan started the season with only four men from last year to build around. Captain Vance, Parma, and Herron, lettermen, and Finn, squadman from last year were all that Hannan had to begin with. A great deal of the Saint strength comes from the freshmen of this year.

Burger will end his two years of baseball at St. Edwards with the record of being one of the most clever men that ever graced a Saint infield position and with a great batting average. Brotherman will also end his college baseball career this year after alternately playing first and catcher equally well for the Saints during the last several seasons. Bomba should also see plenty of action behind the plate this year from his early season showing. At present the initial sack is being presided over by Braminer and C. Strauss. The care of the keystone bag is in the capable hands of Parma, flashy veteran of two seasons. At this Writing Coach James is greatly handicapped by the lack of games, due to the temporary abolition of baseball from the Texas Conference.

Track The Freshmen who have contributed many points, and upon whom Hannan may rely are: Busby, McLaughlin, Rode gers, Kivlin, Rougeaux, Stavinoha, Gault, and Canion. With Captain Vance, Rodgers, Busby, Parma, Finn, McLaughlin, Canion, and Gault in the dashes, hurdles, and relays the Saints should be certain of a number of first places in the Conference meet. Rougeaux and Munoz are the weight men, and Herron and Kivlin take care of the other field events. Blanchette, Vance, and Stavinoha have made splendid show- ings in the distance runs. Coach Hannan has a young relay team with which he expects to break the present conference mile rela record. The team 1 composed of McLauig,hlin, Rodgers, Finn, CAPTAIN A V'lNCE and Busby has shown great improvement since the first meet, and their last time on the mile is within four seconds of the conference record. The first two of the quartette are a pair of tall, lanky boys with long strides, while the latter pair are short but speedy. They all have flash as can be seen from the picture below in which two of the quartette are shown getting off to a flying start. The remarkable thing about this year's successful track season is that it marks the uncovery of another great track coach. Dan Hannan, one of the fastest dashmen in the conference, is serving his first year as track coach at St. Eclward's. Hannan has built a good track team with a limited number of men.
