Tuesday.
The Broncos with 75 points
nearly doubled the margin over
the nearest competitor -O'Neill.
Stuart won seven first place
ribbons and triumphed in lioth
hurdles. Jerry Taylor, perform
ing in the 100-und 220-yard dash
es, and Dana Bigelow, a standout
in both hurdles, were double
winners.
One-two finishes in the 100 and

Atkinson’s Paul Focken set the
meet’s only in the pole vault. He
soared 11 feet.
Times were good considering

track.

The Theater Men
Score O’Neill Hit
(Continued from page 1).
Lucas was given high audience
approval for "Falling Love”.
The fifth grouping came from
the pages of Broadway hits: “I
Could Have Danced All Night”
(My Fair Lady); "Love Me To
night” (Vagabond King); ’i Got
a Song” (Bloomer Girl), and the
closing number was the martial
"This Is My Country” by Jacobs.
Miss Lucas, who has adopted
America, was superb in the pa
triotic number—but then so was
the ensemble. The audience,
partaking in full of the third and
final concert in the 1957-’58 O'
Neill series demanded more.
There were four enchores:
"Dedication" by Franz, solemn,
brief, precise; "Sit Down Ser
vant", the words were few—the
blend most appealing; "Wagon
Wheels", cow country people
wouldn’t let the artists stop on
that one; and “You’ll Never Walk
Alone” by Rodgers and Hammer
stein.
Sample those who were there
and you’ll be assured The The
ater Men and the soprano achiev
ed appreciation from the audi
ence nigh in the ranks of the Tuc
son kids. And the kids were ter
rific, remember?
