More historical gold from NNHS Track historian Josh Seeherman...
"Back in 1936, there were only 4 relays, and Newton won 3 of them. In the mile relay, Newton took 2nd in 3:36 [out of] the slow heat which they won by 9 seconds. 1st (3:34) and 3rd (3:38) came from the fast heat. The truly sizzling time was in the 4x220, where they set a meet record [1:32]. All of this was on cinder - and I think the 440 relay time may be slow because the fly zone had not been invented yet (although even today the fly zone is infrequently used in HS).
440 Relay: Paul Forte, Jeremiah Allen, Ray Huling, Frank Hines, 45.0 (1st place)
880 Relay: Paul Forte, Robert Muther, Frank Hines, Warren Wittens, 1:32.0 (1st place)
Mile Relay: Robert Muther, Jeremiah Allen, Elmer Ross, Warren Wittens, 3:36.0 (2nd place from slow heat)
2 Mile Relay: Cottell, Kelly, Wiggin, Wass, 8:33.2 (1st place)
