l TRACK The first clear days of early spring found the trackmen on Finnessy field for the forthcoming season. The track team had a proud heritage, gained in most part during the four years with which the Centennial class was privi- leged to be associated with Saint Josephs This year's thin-clads came out to bring back the Middle Atlantic title they lost last year to LaSalle, With added strength in the field events it was hoped that the Hawks would again cop the title they have won twice in the last three years. It was the weakness in field events last year which hurt the Crimson, but this year, joseph McLaugh- lin, a sophomore, won a place in the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet held in New York in February. Seniors on the track team who wore the Crimson and Gray for the last time this year are joe McFadden, Al Erbrick, Ed Leva, Tom Fannon, Al Hewitt, Roy Cameron. These men will carry with them the ideals instilled by Coach George Bertelsmen who has been the man behind the wonderful records amassed by the cross country and track teams during the last four years. Mr. Bertelsmen has accomplished nothing short of miracle since he took on the job of coaching here over four years ago. His teams have been defeated so seldom that it has been a major feat for him to keep them from getting overconfident. Al Hewett, disc jockey of the field events, sets himself to spin a long play. v 3, ,.,.,. . Al Erbrick displays his winning form as hc knocks off another in the distance BVCIIY. St. joe's never lost for lack of practice as typified by this McFadden to Cameron pass of the baton.
