R.; Whistler, D. Taken by and large this track season has been nothing spectacular, and Coach Roy S. johnson, at best, can only look towards the distant horizon and dream of next year. There are a few highlights, however, which should make this season a most memorable one. One is the brilliant running of 19-year-old Bill Smith, who has burned up the cinder track in every meet in the 100 yd. dash, the 220 low hurdles, and the Broad Jump. Smith amassed a total of 12 points in the Border Con- ference meet to cop high point honors, and also boasts the highest individual total of points scored in the four meets to date. Bill runs with an effortless, smooth style that is beautiful to watch. The distance races see iron man Frank Hogan performing well in the grueling mile and two mile races and holding his own in both events. Bill Daugherty and Ted Keswick, each long in talent and experience, show promise in the high hurdles. Daugherty also participated in the 220 low hurdles, while Keswick is also a high jumper. Other men who have competed in track events in one of the four meets to date include Kay, 440 yd. dash; Greene, two mile; Barber, high jump; Bunker, 220 yd. dash; Hubbard, 880 yd. dash; Volkar, 100 and 220; Thurs- ton, 980. One standout performer in the field events is Bob Evans, who took up where he left 0E last year and hit top form early in the season in the javelin throw. He placed first in the opening meet of the year against Arizona State of Tempe and drew seconds in the next three meets, including a runner-up spot in the Big Border Conference meet at Tucson. In this meet he tossed the spear a distance of 171 feet, and against the winning mark of 175 feet. Weightmen Lou Cullen and Buster Morris distinguished themselves with consistently good performances in the shot put and discus. Morris also threw the javelin. Other participants in the field events are Mayall, high jump and broad jump; Starr Jenkins, pole vault and mile run. The Lobo thin-clads were victorious in their opening meet against Tempe on the local track. The following week the squad trav- eled to Amarillo for a triangular meet against Texas Tech and West Texas State, New Mex- ico finishing second. The next meet saw the powerful Arizona U. team thoroughly out- class the Lobos in a contest which was held here at Varsity Stadium. In the final meet to date the Lobos placed second in the Border Conference meet at Tucson, finishing behind the Arizona Wildcats. mmyW Wawa-

New Mexicols NROTC rifie team is the only all-Navy team to represent the University in intercollegiate competition. The rifle team challenges and accepts the challenges of other Navy Units and also takes part in the National NROTC matches. The members of the team do their firing in the inside riHe range located in the base- ment of the Co-op dormitory. They use small bore, .22 caliber, Mossberg target rifles, and the targets used are National Rifle Asso- ciation Official Fifty Foot Small Bore Rifle Targets. The distance to the targets is fifty feet, Which is the standard for small bore practice. The men do their practicing either during their Physical Training class period or in their free time. The liring is done from four positions, prone, sitting, kneeling, and stand- ing. Firing from the standing or off-hand position is the most difficult. The team has the enviable record of having won five out of seven matches played thus far this semester. Matches remained with North- western University, Princeton University, and the University of Southern California, at the time of this writing. Colorado, Rice Institute, Illinois, Marquette, and Texas U. all lost to UNM before the Unit was defeated by Stan- ford and Michigan. In the National NROTC Trophy Matches held last February the rifle team placed seventeenth in the field of forty-seven. Lt. tjug7 Grauten and Chief Quartermaster Kemp deserve much credit for the fine work they have done in guiding the team during the past semester.

First row: Feather, R. L.; Chapman, D. Z.; Christensen, J. F.; Souther, D. L. Second row: Dunlap, R. H.; Power, A. M.; Rogers, R. E.; Rouse, G. Under the able coaching of Lieut. Com- mander Jeffery, the University of New Mex- ico swimming team performed remarkably well this past season. Several capable swim- mers and divers answered the call for tryouts, and after a few weeks of daily workouts in the University pool, the team rapidly rounded into form. This present squad should, if nothing else, act as a forerunner to future Championship Lobo swim teams. The New Mexico squad traveled to Roswell for their iirst meet, but were severely trounced by a strong team from New Mexico Military Institute. Next the Lobos journeyed to Tucson, Arizona, for the Border Conference 7W The University tennis squad, under mentor Art McAnally, undertook an ambitious net schedule and met with more than mediocre success. Steady improvement was shown by the Lobo netters, following daily practice ses- sions on the school's courts. The racqueteers opened their season on a rather sour note, losing to the University of Arizona netters at Tucson, 6-0. A home-and- home series with New Mexico Mines followed, and the Lobos came out on top both times by the identical scores of 6-0. The net men trav- eled t0 Canyon next to engage the West Texas State Buffaloes. The Wolfpack again tri- umphed by a 6-0 score. A trip to the Border City to meet the El Paso Tennis Club proved disastrous for McAnally's men as they came out on the short end of a 8-1 count. Several practice meet. They contested against Arizona Uni- versity and Texas Mines and managed to finish second behind the Arizona Wildcats. The following men competed as swimmers: Dave Chapman t50 yd. free style, 400 yd. relayy; Ed Neff 000 yd. backstroke medley relayy; John Christianson 000 yd. back- stroke, medley relayy; Sandy Powers t50 yd. dashfree style, 400 yd. relayy; Bob Feather t220 yd. swim, 440 yd. swimx John Sullivan t200 yd. breast strokey; Frank Roberts 60 yd. dash: 400 yd. relayy; Bob Dunlap 000 yd. dash, 400 yd. relayy; Russ Rogers and Bob Levy made up the diving contingent of the team. 7am matches with the Albuquerque Tennis Club filled the pre-tournament schedule. In the Border Conference tourney at Tuc- son, N avy trainee Dick Lareau and a civilian, Max Curry, reached the finals of the Class B doubles championship. Bob Moore, who was number two on the ladder; Kevin Thredgold; and Dave Collins were other Navy men on the team. Left to right: Moore. R. B.; Lareau, R. J.; Thredgold. K. A.
