Eagle Cindermen
AT Clendive for
Practice Meet

The Sidney Eagle track and
field men, hampered with poor
workout conditions nevertheless
are prepared for their first taste
of competition when they travel
to Glendive this Saturday. This
will be a three school practice
meet with Dawson county and
Custer county high schools.
Coach Toby Kangas expects to
take every interested candidate
now working out. This will be
our first opportunity to observe
many of our boys competing
against outside competition. We
want to give every boy who has
the desire the chance to partici-
pate"
In addition, freshmen will make
the trip and will enter the frosh
events.
Sidney, defending Class A
champions, has 10 lettermen back
from the 1857 squad.
In spite of the poor weather
conditions the Eagle tracksters
have been working hard on their
Individual specialties the past two
weeks.
At present an interclass meet is
under way out at Swanson Field.
At the time of this writing only
six events had been run off with
the senior class leading in total
points. Winners were: discus, Dick
Helten; mile run, Keith Gros-
hart; 100 yard dash, Doyle Dot
son; shotput, John Marman; $50
yard run, Dotson; br~oadjunp,
Marman. Groshart is a junior
and the others are seniors.
For this early in the seaso only
one event has shown anything
outstanding: Marman's and Rich
ard Rein's jumps in the broad
jump have been particularly
good. This event has been especi-
ally weak for the Eagles in re-
cent years. Rein, however, In
jured an ankle this week and
will be lost to the squad for
some time.
Sidney high school offers three
major sports for its boys to par
ticipate in. Football and basket
ball emphasize team play and
work. Only in track is the perfor-
nance of the individual strongly
stressed.
1t is probably because of this
fact that the interest and en-
thusiasm SO often is lacking in
this sport.
Whatever honor and glory that
comes to the trackmen is almost
entirely up to the individual. 1t
is true that team totals are still
strongly recognized and rightly so
but no other sport depends so
much on the performance Of the
one participant in each event
Consequently to excel in track
one must work hard and long
and much of the time receive as
recognition only the satisfaction
of being better than the other fell
low.
The Sidney Athletic Depart
ment in an attempt to give the
individual trackman added recog-
milton, offers the Amateur Ath-
letic Union Medal to any ath-
lete qualifying in four of six
events. These are: 100 yard dash,
440 mile, IL ID. shot put, high
jump and broadjump. In the past
two years Is Sidney Eagles have
received this award including
some now on the squad.
In addition each year a ster-
ling silver track shoe medal is
given to the individual scoring
the most points during the sea-
son. The 1855 winner was Phil
lip Mischief and a year ago Doyle
Dotson, now in his last year, was
the recipient OF this fine medal.
