Bright for Track.
Prospects for a formidable track
representation at Augie this year
are good. Over 20 men are work
ing out daily, and this number will
no doubt steadily increase as the
season advances.
The runners are now pointing to
the Drake relays which will be
held at Des Moines, March q and
2S Augustana probably will be
represented in both the half and
the mile relays. Swedberg
has not as yet2 picked the
men who will represent the Blue
and Gold, but it is certain that
Liljedahl, captain of the Augie
squad, will land a place.
The squad is well fortified in
dash events. barrow, a member of
the Grinnell squad for two years,
and Dwyer. a four-year man from
East Des Moines high. have been
showing some real speed in prac-
tice Bruner and ullemeyer vi
Rock Island. and Cassidy of Mo-
line are also making their bids for
the dashes.
Cornell and Andreen are two
holdovers from last year in the
weights events and are expected to
make a good showing this year.
Swenson and Kubitz are showing
form in khe high jump, and o. Pet
erson has been going high in the
pole vault. Coach Swedberg thinks
he has made a real find in Ingle-
son as a hurdler Heine clears the
hurdles in remarka BILE form and
speed for so early in the season,
and Augustana is sure to be we'll
fortified in this department
Tennis Team Confident.
Tennis enthusiasts are also an
ticipating a good season this year.
Conrey and Carlson, last years
representative in this department,
are again back at Augustana, and
plan to duplicate their feat of
walking away with the state hon
ors in both singles and doubles. 1t
is probable that Augustana will be
represented by a four-man team
this year. Rydholm and Dryer
VIII make their bids for a posi- |
ton on the varsity team.
1t is planned to arrange thr re |
dual meets for the coming season. !
