1931 Track

EWANEE HIGH has a very bright outlook for the 1931 track team. With
nine lettermen back from last year, this year's team should prove to be one of
the best we have ever seen. Among the star performers of last year's team
that are back this year is John O'Conner, whose name has played such an outstanding
part in Kewanee High sports in the last four years. Johnnie broke many a longstanding
track record last year, and we are sure he will do even more this year. In
recognition of his outstanding work in all fields of athletics, Johnnie has been
elected captain of this year's track team, along with "Fuzz" Marzalek, who is also
back this year to help out the team. "Fuzz" did great things in the high jump last
year and will undoubtedly make many a point for the team this year. Other men
who are back are Edward Albrecht, William Blake, Francis Euard, and four other
lettermen to form a nucleus for this year's track team.
So far this year we have participated in three meets. First there was a dual
meet with Wethersfield, which we won very easily. We then went to the Toulon
Invitational Meet where we placed third, with only Peoria Central and Peoria
Manual ahead of us. At the Ottawa Invitational Meet we did not place. The team
was greatly handicapped there because Johnnie O'Conner had an injured leg and
could not take part.
As we go to press before the really important meets of the year come off, we
can only guess at the outcome of these meets. However, we do not think that we
shall miss our guess far if we predict that Kewanee will stand high in the remaining
contests.
