1941 Cedrus Yearbook

T4ack The Yellow Jackets will again place a somewhat inexperienced group of thinly-clads on the field to com- pete in four scheduled meets. The withdrawal from Col- lege of lettermen Vincent Rigio and Merrill Flory, both of the class of '43, leaves a gap in three events. However, Coach Thompson has on hand insignia wearers Hal Thomas, Elwood Shaw, Rolland Flory and Joe Corn. Captain Thomas will be counted on to score heavily in the shot, quarter-mile and relay and to team with freshman Walt Drake, former Dayton Steele ace, to "bring home the bacon" in the hurdles. Shaw, 1940 captain, should be a point winner in the discus, javelin and pole vault. Corn and Flory are to take over the distance events; the former has yet to taste defeat in the two mile and in the only time he has been beat in the mile, Corn came in a close second. John Reinhard, Lee Haynie and Hank Campbell should cause plenty of trouble for the opposition in the middle distance runs and the field events. John Brill, Ned Brown and Dave Galey will aid Thomas and Shaw in the weight events; while Rudy Fletcher, '44 and for- mer Greene County titlist, assumes command of the sprints.
