Winning Coach Gains
Revenge for Defeat
As Boy Runner

An ambition nurtured IA long years
reached its story-book ending yes
terday when squad of lean, eager
Kramer youngsters ended Macfar-
lands l7-year reign as junior high
school track champions in the an
nual city-wide meet at Central High
School Stadium
The team that scored only four
points last year swept all five relays
and added two individual titles to
crown the most successful season in
the schools history. It also settled
m old score for John Donovan
Koontz, who, with Sandy Rogers,
coaches Kramer and who IA years
ago trudged YEARLY off the cinders
In his homemade track suit, beaten
by a Macfarland runner in the 85-
pound 50-yard dash.
K00ntz Gains Revenge.
Koontz promised to avenge that
defeat. Oddly enough, his boys beat
a team coached by John Donovan,
the "Mr. Track" of junior high
schools.
