. K4 24 ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL DES MOINES, IOWA Smashin' Ahead COACH Harold Iohnson, second team football and junior track coach, came to Lincoln directly from Phillips school of Des Moines. Coach Iohnson has received degrees from Penn College and the University of Iowa. At Penn he majored in chemistry, and at Iowa in physiology and physical education. Here Iohnson received let- ters in basketball and football, and was a senior blanket winner. His first coaching job came at State Center, Iowa, l923. ln l925, as coach at Eagle Grove, he trained a boy who won the state mile run, and from his foot- ball team rose an all-state tackle, besides three boys who received honorable mention. Before coming to Des Moines, Iohnson coached at Bosse High school at Evansville, Indiana. What about junior track and football at Lincoln next year? Many ninth grade boys were on the team last year, and with the additional ninth grad- ers this year Lincoln should have a fairly good sec- ond football team, according to Coach Iohnson, but track remains to be seen. Lynx i'Swingers Place LINCOLN HIGHS well balanced golf team finished the fall season with a third place in the state meet and a second place in the city contest. With but two weeks of practice Coach W. S. Morganthaler and his clubsters journeyed to Iowa City to participate in the state meet which was on the University of Iowa course. After banging shots into a strong wind for l8 holes the Lynx squad emerged in third place with a four man total of 354, Luti Fontanini paced the Railsplitters with an 85. Roosevelt high of Des Moines won first place honors with a total of 343 and Franklin high of Cedar Rapids finished second with a 350 total. The Railsplitters again took up their war clubs on a cold, wet morning in Oct. to play in the city meet which took place on the lengthy Waveland slopes. Again they felt defeat at the hands of Roosevelt and had to be satisfied with second place. Third place was shared by East and North as neither team had the required number of players, Because of graduation, Bruno Caliguiri and Mando Tonini will be absent from the squad next spring, Their loss will be bolstered by the services of Caruso Fontanini and lack Folsom, two boys who have seen plenty of the fairways. Coach Morganthaler will have the same first four boys re- turning, Luti Fontanini, Otto Mason, Dwayne Stebbins, and Lloyd Tate, next spring. They are expected to be pushed to the limit by Don Andriano and Harold Saltzrnan, who have seen plenty of competition. Congratulations Ian. '38 Grads! LEOPOLD'S STANDARD SERVICE S.
