The following week the margin of an extra point spelled defeat at the hands of Grand Forks. Dick Morlan's 87-yard kickoff return high- lighted the game. The Bucs and the Devils Lake Satans played to a stalemate as the extra point again made the differ- ence between victory and a tie. Mahnomen's Indians fell before' the Pirate squad as they rang up their second shutout with good defensive play. Journeying to East Grand Forks the Pirates dropped the decision to the NVC champs in a game played under the lights. They recovered, however, and took the Grafton Spoilers in the Homecoming contest. Putting up a tough defensive stand on their own goal line the Bucs polished off Thief River Falls on a snow-covered field. Red Lake fur- nished some stiff opposition as the team rallied from a thirteen- point deficit to take the contest. Central linemen smear Grafton halfback as Bamberg 143, Hovet 1443, Torgerson 1433, Eide 1503, Morlan 1523, Olson 1413 move ln on the play. 42 1 iv-sms:

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.
