Z:lte Season As spring rolled around last year, it brought with it as always the crack of baseball bats and the thrill of a baseball season; the track stars came out of hiding and attempted to set new world's records, and the golfers and tennis players began heading out for the local fairways, and limbering up their racquets for a fast game. The spring sports at Idaho were under way. At the end of the season, after some hard-fought battles, the record stood for all to see. The Vandals didn't fare so well on the diamond, by dropping games to Oregon State, Oregon, and WSC. They knocked over Oregon State three times and sneaked one over Washington, and ended the season with a 13-3 defeat at the hands of the Cougars, winners of the Northern Division championship. Couper, Roland Massingill and Viro led the team in batting. but none were very impressive. The records of our pitchers weren't any too wonderful either. On the cinder track and in the field, the boys fared little better. though some impressive individual achievements stand out. Dick Armstrong tied the record in the 100-yard dash held by James Montgomery and James Kalbus in 1934, and set a new record in the 220 at 21.5. Lattig set a new mark for the boys to beat by vaulting 13 feet 1%: inches. In golf the Vandals turned in a .500 by out-shooting WSC, Montana and Gonzaga, while dropping wins to Oregon, Oregon State, and Washington. John Morley captained the team, and brought most of the honors home. Morley and Cushman both took medalist honors in meets with Montana and Gonzaga. On the courts, our tennis players failed to capture one win in matches against Whitman, Oregon State, Oregon and Washington State. Ed Bulla, Paul Thome and Lee Nelson, and Gartin were responsible for the wins they did have in singles and doubles matches.
