Bourne High Students Form Cross Country Team
Knute Andersson. coach of cross country, a new varsity sport at Bourne High School, reports that to date there are 14 boys in his group, of whom nine are freshmen and five are sophomores, juniors or seniors.
From the junior high grades 8 and 9 are Vernon Staley, Philip Blethen, Harvey Musselman, Chris Nardine. John Rose, Ron Petros. Walter SIowick, Burch Harvey, Lloyd Glllus, Terry Gardner. Jerry Taylor and Richard Wales.
A beautiful two and a quarter mile course has been set up for the boys for their practice and for meets. The course starts at the rear of the high school gym, around the parking lot, down to the football field, back and to the left of the Peebles School, down to side of Sandwich Road and through the cut back to the high school. This is considered to be excellent for running since there will be no hard topped surface and it is one of the roughest courses the boys will meet because of its ups and downs.
Although the boys are not yet trained in this sport they are showing much enthusiasm and a good deal of endurance. Mr. Andersson expects that Dan Jarvis will be one of the outstanding milers on the Cape in another year. Also showing fine promise are Bob Morris and Bob Parady.
Others from senior high school out for cross country are Robert Newell and Donald Johnson.
The training is very good for basketball players, the coach says, since It will build up legs and wind. This Is a varsity or major sport and receives the same recognition as football and basketball. Mr. Andersson emphasized that the one real difference in being a member of this team or the other varsity sports is that ln the cross country the runners are on their own from beginning to end, there can be no substitutes. .
Mr. Andersson is trying to complete arrangements to have the use of the sports arena at Otis for indoor meets during the winter months before the outdoor season arrives in April. These events will include 100 yard. 220 yard, quarter mile, half mile and mile. Also planned are hurdle or obstacle races, shot put, discus throw, weight throwing, high jump, broad jump and pole vaults.
