,E I MEMOIRS OF 1934 23 TRACK---1933 The 1933 track season started very successfully, one hundred men answering the call of Coach Dick Talbott. There were five lettermen back, including Captain Bill Funderburk, dash man, Carl Ramella, dash man, Luke Drummond, 440 dash man, John Sands, hurdler, and Herman Dilly, 440 yard dash and relay man. The squad was handicapped by the loss of Hoy Greynolds, who left school. Hoy was the best dis- tance man in the state. The inter-class games were run off smoothly. John Sands was high point man with 17M points. He won the high and low hurdles, and the high jump, and ran on two relay teams. Funderburk was a close second with 1611, points. He won the 100, 222, and 440, and ran anchor on the sprint relay team. The Monongahela Valley Invitation Meet was second, and the card was won very handily from a large field of competition, the score being, VV. I. 109, Elkins 67, and Grafton 27. Bill Courtney, valuable hurdle man and Haskell Fruity Pears were injured and were unable to compete for the remainder of the season. The third contest, the Big Ten meet, also at Elkins, was won with less trouble than the first. The score: W. I., 112 2f3g Elkins, 56 1,f10, Morgantown, 32 1f2g and Grafton 16 2f5. In this meet several records were broken. Lowell Drummond broke the javelin throw mark with a heave of 153' 3 g William Lee Seckman, Jr., tied the high jump, with a leap of 5' 5 , and Bill Funderburk smashed the one hundred dash record of 10.2, his new mark being 10.1. Frank McGahan continued this winning streak to set the Conference record at 2:10 for the half mile. The crack mile relay team knocked the old record of 3:46 for a loop and established the new time of 3:44.6. The shuttle hurdle team also set a new mark of 1:05.8. This team was composed of George Goff, Charles Taylor, Shi Jarvis, and John Sands. VV. I. won the Sectional Meet by the score of 78-74 2f3. The track was in bad shape for this meet and as a result only one record was broken. VV. I.'s fast-improving mile relay team tore around the oval in the remarkable time of 3:04.4. The members of this quartet were Ramella, Seckman, Taylor, and Drummond. The feature of the afternoon was the game finish of Frank McGahan, anchor man on the long 880 stretch of the medley relay. Frank was running his second half mile with an hour on a Held that made the going doubly hard. He was behind and apparently weakening on the back turn, but his fighting heart carried him into the lead coming into the home stretch and he won going away. The fifth meet brought to a close the activities of the most -outstanding track team in the history of the school. W. I. had qualified their twelve entries in the Sectional and hoped to win at Morgan- town. The competition proved to be very stiff, however, and the 'best that could be gotten was a third place. The members of the mile relay team were the only ones to return with gold medals. They led the field in that event by 50 yards. Cava placed second in the shot and discus while the rest of the points were garnered 'by 3rd, 4th, and 5th places. The final score was, Huntington 40, Parkersburg 31 1f3, W. I. 29 2!3. On returning home, letter awards were given to Cava, King, Call, Drummond, Sands, Courtney, Long, Funderfburk, West, lSeckman, Taylor, Jarvis, and Ramella and White, Goff and McGahan, and Manager Charles Schaffer. After-three ballots by the lettermen, Dick King and John Sands were elected co-captains for 1934. 1. as Q41 -A
