New Track Prizes Awarded...

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two members of last year's Varsity track team, Tom Cameron and Bob Forsyth, will receive "achievement" awards this afternoon at Dillon Field House.

The new awards, silverware donated anonymously, will be given annually to Crimson weightmen who better certain marks in actual competition.

Separate from Traditional Prizes

They have nothing to do with the traditional improvement prizes that are awarded annually to members of the track team. They will go to two classes, "novice" and "experiences."

To qualify for the award, a "novice" must throw the 35-pound weight 50 feet, the hammer 160 feet, or the discus 140 feet. An "experienced" athlete is required to better 53 feet, 6 inches in weight. 168 feet in the hammer, or 149 feet in the discus. Cameron and Forsyth are being awarded novice prizes for their efforts in the discus and 35-pound weight respectively.
