With very little practice the boys didn't furnish much opposition to the Thief River team. The Buc baseball team didn't have much better luck as they dropped the district contest to Alvarado by four runs. Ineligibility of pitcher Duane Peltier caused a juggling of the lineup, which considerably weakened the squad. Duane Scrum takes his cut in the season's opener against Alvarado. D. Eagle and G.

Captain Dave Pilkey placed in the regional meet in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Thief River Falls, perennial powerhouse, took most of the honors at the meets with the Bucs a close second in the district and third placers in the North Valley conference. Pilkey, Don Bennett, Dick Morlan, and George Ramberg were the highest point getters on the squad. Cross country was started for the first time at Central under the direction of Coach Meier Snell. Winning form placed Morlan in four events. Captain Bennett vaults over the cross-bar.

Steenerson, E. Eide, A. Miller, G. Hansen. The Crookston golf team won their way into the state tournament by virtue of a four stroke win over Bemidji in the regional tour- ney. They took a one up victory over Thief River Falls in the district tournament. In their two dual meets, the golfers copped victories over Bemidji by eleven strokes and also over Thief River Falls. Central's first district hockey entrants include: back row: Student Man- ager J. Ruther. R. Urdahl. 0. Eisert, T. Sims, J. Brat- rud, J. Buckmiller, E. Montreuil, Coach Robert Strand: second row: P. Myrold, A. Olson. R. Vind, H. Manole, D. Anderson: front row: R. Caouette, M. Nygaard. W. Pederson, H. Torgerson. 41 Central's lack of experience in hockey show- ed up in the first season of district competition as the best showing was a tie with Warroad. Harry Manole with twelve points and Bobby Caouette with seven points led the team in scoring. Coach Bob Strand's boys gained ex- perience this year, and most of them will be back for the coming seasons.
