by Dr. Roger L. Brooks
president of Howard Payne
College.
The track to be named
after the late J. H. (Cap)
She I ton who for more than 50
years headed the track and
field program at Howard
Payne is being built around
the new stadium's gridiron.
Cost has been estimated at
$:ioooo.
Officials hope the facility
can be completed in time for
the annual running of the Lone
Star Conference spring
sports meet planned here
April 27 and 29.
Whether the track will be
ready at that time depends on
several factors such as man
power availability weather
cooperation and difficulty of
laying the facility on the
terrain.
According to Dr. Hrook.s
the track will represent the
culmination of hard work and
planning by many persons
since plans to try to construct
one were made last Augiut.
Dr. Brooks expressed
thanks for the work that has
been done singling out
(ironer Pitts head of the
steering committee for the
project as the instrumental
force behind the idea. Of the
decision togoahead and build
the track now Dr. Brooks
said: "Howard Payne College
has a great history in track
and field competition largely
the result of the tremendous
impetus given to the sport b.
the late Cap Shel ton. Our first
responsibility to the sport and
to our institution at this time
is to honor this great sports
educator. I am pleased to be
able to participate in the
planning of a magnificent
facility in his memory."
The president ill his first
year as head of the Baptist
school also talked of the
implications such a facility-
will have for Howard Payne
and the entire mid-Texas
area:
"The implications of the
new track are many. It offers
an oppo i t n n i ty for on r
athletes to compete on the
finest track surface and it
gives us an opportunity to
dlfer the same experience to
our neighboi ing high school
athletes. More widely it will
briiiggreaterevposure to the
fine tradition of athletics we
hae at Howard Payne and
will equip us with a facility
that will attract national and
international competition to
our campus and community
and will permit us to host
regional and national meets
which we have previously
been unable to do."
Pills former student of
HPC and one of its primary
athletic backers is elated
with recent developments.
The chairman of the HPC
athletics committee said:
"Not only is this track
needed for this yea r 's
conference meet as well as
those of the future but also it
will serve as a fitting and
lasting memorial for Cap
Shelton.
