SCHEU ELECTED TO HEAD TRACK TEAM NEXT YEAR

At a meeting of the track lettermen yesterday, John P. Scheu '35, of New York City was elected captain of the 1935 Varsity track and field team, and at the same time Warren Sturgis '35, of Groton became Varsity manager for 1935.

Scheu is 20 years of age, and got his first track experience at Exeter, where he made a name for himself as an outstanding schoolboy miler. At Harvard he was a member of the Freshman team two years ago, and since then has distinguished himself in the middle distances.

It was really not until this year, however, that Scheu finally rounded into form and came through with some of the most spectacular races of the season. In the G.B.I. meet he came from behind to take the race easily, but in the Yale meet the finish was even more brilliant. Only in the home stretch did he manage to nose out Turley of the Blue.

Coach Eddie Farrell had faith in Scheu's ability and has been working with him until he ranks second only to Bill Bonthron among the teams that the Crimson runners face.
