The University of Idaho track squad, though extremely short of
cindermen, managed to break a good deal of records this season. The
thinclad Idaho team was composed of Bill Baxter, Milt Riggers, Doug
Seely, Ray Hatton, Dick Boyce, Ron Edwards, Jerry Kramer, George
Horne, Gene Ryba, Bruce Wendle, and Bill Boyce.
Idaho, badly outmanned in every dual meet, had a hard time scoring
the needed points for victory. The thinclads lost dual meets to
Oregon State, Washington, and Oregon. The Vandals placed fourth
in the Northern Division meet and seventh in the PCC.
Ray Hatton and Dick Boyce each had the honor of breaking school
records. Hatton set new marks in the mile and two mile, while Boyce
captured the 880 record. Glander, Vandal coach, stressed the fact
that because the Idaho squad was lacking in depth, the Vandals
probably would not pick up many points in the meets, but that he
was expecting several individuals to
show well.
The squad was hampered during the
season by injuries. Bill Boyce, Dick
Shern, and Dave Powell came up with
injuries and missed the Washington
Meet. Dwane Hodgson, Javelin thrower,
missed the Ia tter part of the season.
Seely paces Hatton the last few yards of the two-rnile tun.
