Mr. Carmichael is pleased with the results the new fan gives, and agreed to the fact that it, takes the smell out fast enough so that kids don't even have to use a inan's deodorant. Aflorning the walls in the client classes are new charts, which in- clude valenfe periodic, metal, and atom charts.

EDITOR: IOHN SCHULTZ Page Eight T H E A M U N D S E N L O G November 13. 1956 Viking ' White Difvision Champions Lane Spoils Amundsen's Bid The Vikings are White Division Champs! This was thc undisputed xerdicl after Ainundscn whipped Marshall, 32 to 0, at Hanson Park on Friday, October 216, closing a si-ason ot' four victories, no losses, and one tic. Halfback Tom tlnidf-r ki-pt Mar- shall in constant bi-wilderment by scoring t'our ot' Amundst-n's five touchdowns. Included in his va- riety of tallics were a ti-5'2ll'fl plunge, a 50-yard interception run. 41 60-yard sprint, and a 235-yard pass play. The other touchdown was made on a 30-yard toss t'rom quar- trrback Christ Pappas to halfback Larry Tickncr. who continued on downfield for the remaining neces- sary 25 yards. Two extra points were converted by l3ill Pearson. Amundsen should certainly be proud of its fighting eleven, and especially proud of halfback Larry rickncr, who is one ot' the cltY'S highest ground gainers. In fact. Larry, in several games, has car- ried for more yards than the oppo- sition as a whole. For cX2H1lDl4'. ill the Taft game, as a team Taft col- lected a meager 57 yards while Tickner gained GR yards on 1-l car- ries. ln the St-nn game, St-nn made only 56 yards while Tickner reclcd off 117 on 12 attempts. A1r21iIlSf Kelvyn Park, Larry rcally sparklcd: for on only two carries, he suc- ceeded in collecting 125 yards com- pared to Kelvyn Park's 43. A Dribbling Group Here Ye! Hear Ye! all basketball fans. Amundsen's first basketball game is scheduled against North Park, to be played here on De- cember 4. The returning bucketmen to be playing this season arc John Kam- banls, guardg Skip Reinhart, guard: Pete Kottra, forward: Rich Schreib- er, center Gordon Zorn, forward: Ralph Peterson, forward: Ken Knutson, forward: Al Larson, csn- terg Rich Papadakis. guard: Oscar Manushkin, forward: Tom Snider, forward: and Sonny Sylvester, guard. As the paper went to press, the team had not yet chosen a captain for the '56-'57 squad. The sky- scraper and tallest member of this year's team is 6'-1 llich Schreiber. Coach Bourgeois looks for a sub- stantial improvement over last 3.'ear's team. Although not predict- ing a first place finish, he believes the squad's win column will seem more favorable than it has in previ- ous years. The Frosh-Soph team of this sea- m M4- Anyone lor a dip?
