A high percentage of letter men returnedg and we had new coaches, all combining to make a stronger team. Win- ning the first game from Lake City indicated the boys were off to a good start. Cadillac won one of their next th1'ee games from Manistee. After this game the team was defeated on successive Fridays by Traverse City, Ludington, and Petoskey. Al- though the scores were far apart, Cadillac played extremely good ball in the Traverse City and Ludington games, but they were simply outclassed in size and reserve power. The team was plagued with injuries during the season with first-line players being on the injured list. It was the intention of the coaches to make a foundation of team play this year to build up to winning stride for the trophy and the championship in success- ive years. Throughout the season the boys showed a tendency to play bad ball in the first half and then come back to outplay their oppon- ents the second half. This inconsistent play contributed much to our defeats. On a rainy, cold afternoon. in November the Cadillac eleven played a smashing, fighting game to win the final contest of the year from Big Rapids. At the end of the season Lawrence Mar- tin was elected honorary captain. IL 4-f- Stormy Seas In. the angle of games won and lost the season proved to be very disastrous, but working under the coaching of Mr. Barclay the type of play was much higher than in previous years. A total of fourteen games was played, seven of them being conference games. Cad- illac lost to Manistee, Petoskey, Ludington., and Traverse City to place at the bottom of the standings. Cadillac also was unfortu- nate in losing other games by very close scores to smaller class C schools. The team started slowly the first half with the result that they could not quite make up the large difference in the scores, even though they outclassed the opposing team the second half. The team showed spurts of real power, barely being beaten by Traverse City, last year's state champion in class B. One great handi- cap to both the team and the coaches was the necessity of practicing in a small gym and then going to larger gyms to play. Every game proved to be a fast, clean contest that was enjoyable to watch. Throughout the season the team displayed an aggressive type of ball. In an end-of- season tournament Cadillac was beaten by Mount Pleasant. Made up of a large percentage of sopho- mores and juniors the Cadillac Five should go a long way towards the championship in the next two years. flf AV! f 1 7 fhf I I f il 4 'ill f' tg ,I WW! ,125 'I wi l

After losing their first meet to Traverse City, the Vikings came back the next week and easily took first place in an invitational meet. At the con- ference meet the following week the thin- clads took third place. Two conference records were broken by Cadillac's Hugh Kinnison. He set a new mark in the pole vault when he cleared the bar at an inch and a half over eleven feet. He also set a new mark in the broad jump, jumping nineteen feet, nine inches. The Vikings were confident of doing well in the regional meet as they had been stead- ily improving throughout the season. This year the track men showed marked improve- ment in the field events, in which they had been rather weak in previous yearsg but on the other hand, they were somewhat weaker in the running events. Tennis Boys Steam to Success ' With nine prospective lettermen return- ing from the 1940 season, hopes for another successful tennis season were very high. Through the outstanding efforts of Coach Sjoberg, the Viking netters have won five consecutive matches so far this year. Mr. Sjoberg has coached the tennis teams for the past six years, and his teams have won four regional championships. A class B conference was organized this year for the purpose of promoting more J tennis competition in Northern Michigan. This conference tournament was held May 10, at Petoskey and was won by the Vikings. As in previous years, the class B reg- ional will be held at Cadillac, May 23. Be- cause of the success in the conference tourna- ment, Coach Sjoberg has high hopes for an- other regional championship. The following boys are expected to participate in this tour- nament: Harold Johnson David Hector 7 7 Charles Lectka, William Brinkman, Howard Watson, Don Hansen, William Peterson, Dur- rell Holland, and Robert Bourassa. C. l-l. S. Again on the Fairways After a lapse of four years, C. H. S. again entered the field of golf this year. The team that Coach Barclay recruited consisted mostly of sophomores, with one junior and two seniors. These sophomores should pro- vide the nucleus for a good team again next year. The season started off auspiciously. Traverse City, which had not met defeat in three years, fell a victim to our boys in the first match of the season. On May 10 a conference meet was held at Petoskey. The schools participating were Cheboygan, Manistee, Traverse City, Petos- key, and Cadillac. Traverse City won this meet with a score of 353, just fifteen strokes better than Cadillac which finished second. At the time of going to press there were still two meets to be held.
