~ SPRING SPORTS ~

The Spring track season proved to be one of disaster for establishing records at O.H.S. this year. The upper classmen squad contained only one senior and two junior lettermen lending support. This left Coach Steele with the problem of developing the remaining participants to carry the burden of the season. The Trojans opened their season by participating in the Manhattan State Indoor meet with complete defeat. They journeyed to Ottawa where the team brought in one point with the 880 relay team consisting of Dean Spears, Claud Williams, Don Byers, and Nolan Craven. The B-Team took part in a meet at St. Joseph. On April 10, the cinder squad showed fair promise with the accumulation of 15-1/2 points in the Paola Relays. Spears placed second in the 1/2 mile, while Craven was awarded second in the 100 yard dash and third in the 220 yard dash. The 880 yard relay team tied for first. The Trojan team went ahead to participate in the relays at Olathe, Iola, Fort Scott, and Baker. They also participated in a quadrangular at Paola and finished the season at the Regional Tournament in Fredonia. With the experience of the returning varsity and the support of the upcoming Freshmen, next season promises to bring more action by the Trojans. This was quite evident when the Freshmen thin clads displayed their ability on the cinders by winning the meet at Paola and Placing second in the Ottawa traingular. |

Outstanding achievement was displayed on the O.H.S. Racket Squad by Craig Whitt and Bill Calvin. The two worked together in doubles to finish the season with a 13 and 1 record. the Team's season record fell far short of this standard with two wins, four losses, and one tie. The Trojans edged Ottawa and Olathe 4 to 3 and 5 to 4 respectively. Pitted against Shawnee Mission North the O.H.S. Team dropped two matched 5 to 4 and 6 to 3. Olathe dropped the racketeers in their return bout. The Team played to a tie with Ottawa and finished third in the Olathe Invitational Tournament.

Although the '64 golf team had the competitive spirit, they dropped all their matches this season. Ten Trojans practiced diligently throughout the season on the city course under the direction of J. Henry Reb. John McQueary, a senior, and Jeff Dunaway, a junior, carried most of the load in the matches. After losing to Immaculata 188 to 238 and 171 to 225 respectively, the team journeyed to Baldwin to receive a drumming defeat by a margin of 194 to 243. The squad failed to beat Paola twice, 205 to 249 and 199 to 230, and received a fourth place in the Paola Quadrangular Tournament. |
