May Day tradition involved all wo-
men students enrolled in the uni-

arranged their baskets of flowers
gathered from the university’s gar-
dens. Then they delivered their bas-
kets to homes of professors, admin-
istrative staff, ministers, trustees
and other asociated with the col-
lege, and sang May Day songs. An
old South breakfast was served to
the co-eds prior to their eight
o’clock classes.

SPORTS SCENE
Did >ou know' that Southwestern
has a track team? You probably
didn’t hut we (to. Currently it is
composed of four men: Ronnie
Ciocm. Barry McBurnett, Phil Lind-
say, and John Rice.
Tiny Law been working out ancT
training since January and are
row gt tting int ) pretty goad shape.
They will collaborate in the 440
sprint relay in the conference meet
and each will run in two other
everts. Rice and Groom are cur best
100 men with times of 10.0 and 10.2
which make S. U. a pretty goad bet
for seme points there. Backing them
up is Phil Lindsay with a fine time
of 10.3. We really have an excellent
prospect to win the 220. McBurnett
ran a 21.9 in high school and if lie
can equal this up in Fort Worth, S.
U. will be on the way. Crocm isn’t
at all bad in the 220 either with a
23.5 to his eiedit. McBurnett's long
legs and smooth style help him run
a fast 440 which he* will also enter.
Lindsay will he in another event and
as well as running the mile.
But the big race as far as points
go is the relay. All of our boys are
fast sprinters with at least a 10.3.
In case you don’t understand track,
this means we can put together a
pretty speedy relay team. Their
biggest problem at present how-
ever, is with their handloffs. But
as hard as they have been working
they will soon have this eradicated,
and along with the individual races,
Southwestern has a real reason to
be hopeful for a victory.
Ronnie Groom and Barry McBurnett are shown
practicing- for the conference relays in Fort Worth. Also
members of the track team, not shown, are Phi Lindsay
and John Rice.
