Review of Track Athletics for : 99
The review for track athletics of 99
includes not only athletics of this spruig
but those of Ia6t term as well. To start
the whole season we had really no one of
any consequence. When the class of J 9S
went out it took with it son?,e of the best
athletes the school ever bad. Most of
them wore on two of the athletic teamu
of the school and some on three. Many
of that, class made the remark that athletics
would be dead now that they (the
clasp of H )3) bad lent. But it was noteo.
The first term our class waR in we best
the Polytechnic by a score of 62-60. We
got 4th place in the academic field day,
which was better than the Lowell track
teams had dnne for some two or three
years previous.
The next thing to be done was for our
football team to win the academic football
tournament, which it came ao near
doing that there were two final game?
between it and Belmont; Eelmont winning
in the last by a n*uke. Both of these
teams, the Football and Track, were
made up of raw material aud both did
exceedingly well.
Track Athletics
This spring opens a new era to Lowell
in track and field athletics. Some wonderful
speed and endurence has been
shown by the members of our track team.
MANOR in the hundred ro3e to be the
best sprinter ir the athletic league excluding
no one, not even Abadie from a
second rate high jumper.
KARMELEXSKI, who has always been
good in the mile walk, distinguished himself
in the last A. A. L field day by winning
the 830 yard run in fine etylejlowering
the colors of our friend, the far-famed
Woods, Berkeley High.
BELDEN ha6 improved very much in
the pole vault. He gci a third in all
Geld day last year and improved so much
that he tied a Berkeley High man for
first place this spring.
JAMES P. GLE.VSON diu exceedingly
well in the walk and, captured a third
place which ought to have been a second
because the Petaluma man ran on the
home stretch.
Taking into consideration all things I
think Track Athletics have been a success.
