Although a new man at track his perseverance soon gained him a place on the squad. Toward the end of the season he became a steady point Winner in his favorite event, the pole vault, and took places in both the California Freshmen and Nevada meets. This season Cap- tain Wright has not confined himself to the pole vault alone but is improving rapidly and has become a point getter in the broad jump and low hurdles. ttPerdi Will always be remembered and respected, not only for his track abil- ity but for his cheerful disposition and amiable character; he is certainly a model for his followers.

THE 1924 VARSITY TURNOUT The Traek Season At the start of the track season only two lettermen from last yeafs squad returned so we hardly knew what to expect. Coach McCorkle issued an early call for track men and about 40 men responded and could be seen working out on the track, limbering up their muscles. Among these men were a number of veterans from last yearls squad. The letter- Irien-VVright, pole vaulter, and Bassford, hurdler par excellence and lngh jump expert, were back. Among the other veterans were to be seen Herms, 880 man and miler; Lutz, discus thrower and all around man; Bibens, quarter miler and relay man, along with several others. As the season progressed a number of new men showed exceptional promlse and before long it began to look as if we were going to have a first rate track team.
