Ready to run

Today, we see some young men who quite obviously are ready to make a run for it.

Literally.

This photo, submitted by and featuring Alexander Kobasa of Lansdale, features the 1939 track team of the former Lansdale High School.

The guys who are striking this pose are, according to the information provided by Kobasa:

Bob Jenkins, Harry Kleinman, Ellis Delp, Frank Smith, Ed Walls, William Oberholtzer, Dick Drissel, Alex Kobasa and Richard Eccles.

Not shown are coach James Crawford, plus Butch Snyder and Larry Eshback.

Kobasa not only ran track at Lansdale High School, but in 1939 was the Bucks-Mont cross-country champion.

It’s a great athletic-themed photo, isn’t it?
