The Indians' final tuneup preceding the conference meet was a dual meet with
Southwestern on the Braves' cinderpath and the Pirates walked off a 74-38 winner. A
week later the Texas conference meet was held on the ACC campus and the Hilliardmen
placed fourth.
Although no medals were won by the McMurry thinly-clads during the '46 season, a
foundation was layed for the future. One of the most promising squads of all time
reported for track this Spring. It included such well known high school stars as Ted Hardin,
Bob Reily, Dudley Fish, Franz Myatt, from Abilene, Vernon Townsend from Rule,
and Leslie Cowan from Hamlin.
Also wearing the Tribe colors this year were F. G. Hoefer and E. C. Barry, holdovers
from last year's squad. On this year's team are listed approximately twenty-five
tracksters.*
