It took 68 years to knock two full seconds off the Olympic record for the 100-meter dash. A time of 12 seconds flat was posted in 1896 and the time was reduced to an even 10 seconds by Bob Hayes of the United States in the 1964 Olympic games at Toyko.

Hie first of a 13 game schedule will be against Martinsville, and Coach Paquin said yesterday that early workouts with the aid of the weather has brought the hitters around fairly early. Asked of his early observations of the team, Paquin said, "We should have good hitting, fair speed and I hope we are strong defensively in the infield and outfield, and with six pitchers, we should have depth there." More interest will be focused on high school baseball this year than in the past.

Crawley Calls Conference To Discuss Future Plans

LAFAYETTE UPI—Veteran coach Marion Crawley called a news conference for Wednesday morning to discuss his future, whether it be political, educational or athletic in nature. The Lafayette School Board Monday night adopted a resolution which would have the effect of putting Crawley on a leave of absence if he were to be elected mayor of the Tippecanoe County seat.

Crawley, 58, indicated when he announced his retirement from coaching March 21 that he would become coordinator of physical education and athletic programs for all city schools. He had said the job would not conflict with his political aspirations. But a controversy arose and legal experts were unable to find any precedent for the situation. Then the school board voted,

5-1 with one member abstaining, to adopt a resolution that would grant Crawley a leave of absence while he served as mayor. The resolution, which did not mention Crawley specifically, said “that any employe who is elected to the office of mayor of the City of Lafayette should no longer remain in the employ of the Lafayette School Corporation. That upon his taking office, he shall be granted a leave of absence for tht duration of his term of office.” Crawley announced he would hold a news conference Wednesday morning to discuss the situation.

The veteran coach led the Lafayette Bronchos to the runnerup spot in this year’s high school basketball tourney. Crawley has coached four title teams, two at Lafayette and two at Washington.

TRIBUTES TO OUR UNSUNG HEROES

John Whitokor

NURSES They are a dedicated group of women we owe o lot to. If you have ever had a siege in the hospital, no doubt you became aware of that lady in white, the nurse, who became just about everything to you in your helpless and semi-helpless condition, sometimes our very life depends on them.

Charles Whitaker

So when you are passing the bouquets around, pass a few to that nurse, who though very tired at times, was always at your beck and call. Compared with some other professions, she is poorly paid, too, and deserves to have her salary increased in accordance to her very great responsibilities. LET US All, FROM THIS TIME ON, SING A SONG FOR THE "UNSUNG HEROINE " THE NURSE.
