Monopolize
G! Track Meet
Soldiers of platoons in A-52
literally monopolized a prelimin
ary track meet sponsored by the
bettalion Saturday to determine
platoon champions. Of the 600
men who participated, represen
tatives of Co. A platoons made
the best time and best jumps in
the five events scheduled.
Best time for the 100-yard
dash was made by Gilbertson
and Tavis of the third platoon
who tied, running the course in
10 seconds.
Schumaker of the fourth pla
toon came first in two events,
completing the 440-yard run in
64 seconds and clearing 19 feet,
two inches in the running broad
jump.
Four company A men cleared
the five-foot mark in the high
jump. They were Cheek and Fos-
chi of the first platoon, J. Smith
of the second platoon and Graf
of the fourth platoon.
Best time for the 880-yard re
lay went to Park, Persons, Wick-
ersham and Roscoe, all of the
third squad of the second pla
toon. Time: 2 minutes, 1 second.
Although Company A men
made the best time and best
jumps in these events they are
not to be considered company
champions, Lt. Vernon E. Vrana,
battalion adjutant, pointed out.
A track meet to determine com
pany champions was scheduled
for the latter part of the week.
By laying out six broad jump
pits, three high jump hurdles,
three 100-yard tracks and three
220-yard ovals on which the 440
and 880-yard events were run,
the battalion, commanded by
Maj. J. Fuller, was able to run
off platoon events for three com
panies in the brief space of two
hours. Company D, a special
training unit, did not participate.
