In addition, they traveled to Cando, N. D., and split a weekend series there. Cando won on Saturday night 7-4, and Concordia captured the Sunday afternoon contest 7-3, The highlight of the year was the Cobbers' 2-1 four overtime victory over Cook Sign as a part ofthe Fargo Ice Carnival Tourna ment. 98 TENNIS The 1950 tennis team was under the direction of student-coach, Luther I-Iegland. This sport was handicapped by inclement weather conditions, hence, only an abbreviated schedule was played. A win over the Jamestown netmen and split with the MSTC team was the extent of the season's play. Those on the squad were Luther Hegland, Arvid Skogerboe, Palmer Gedde, jim Lillo, jim Stenerson, and Carl Zander. -'f i-.ji 'f .- ',f',X Q .. . 3..'-Ajtiw, ' 577 432'-f:'fii.

Olson Johnson Rasmus Sather In the first contest of the season Concordia was easily defeated by the MSTC squad, 11-6. Ken Severud started on the mound for the Cobbers but lasted only until the fourth inning when Paul Fedge relieved him. Concordia was unable to solve the pitching of the starting MSTC hurler, Bob Peterson, but in the fifth inning he left the game and the Cobbers were able to tie the score at 5-5. The Dragons picked up three more runs in the next inning, however, to insure the victory. Sonny Gulsvig tossed the last two innings for the Cobbers while Harry Anderson worked the entire game behind the plate. The lack of practice by Concordia was obvious in this loss. The pitching was erratic and the team finished with a total of only three hits. Coach Basch's charges next traveled to Jamestown where they dropped a double-header to the Jimmies, 5-5 and 4-3. Both of these hard-fought contests were lost in the final inning. The Cobbers showed much better form than in the previous loss to MSTC. The improvement in fielding and pitching was especially encouraging. Marlow Stenson pitched the first Jimmie contest while Harry Anderson handled the catching duties. In the second half of the twin bill the Cobbers held a fi-2 advantage until the last of the seventh when Jamestown exploded for three runs to win. Ronnie Johnson had smashed a home run to give Concordia their short lived lead. The Cobber nine won their first game of the 1950 season by downing the Hawley Hawks, an independent aggregation, 4-3. Concordia continued to show improvement in this ten inning, well-played ball game. Dennis Saugstad twirled a three-hitter for the Cobbersg Don Rasmus was Saugstad's battery mate. The baseballers gained sweet revenge over MSTC in their second meeting as they edged out the Dragons, 5-5. Marlow Stenson pitched an excellent game, throwing a five hitter at the Dragon nine. The Cobbers banged out six hits, all of them singles, in gaining the victory. Don Rasmus again caught the entire game. The last contest of the season was a hectic 14-13 loss to the Moorhead Chix under the lights at Barnet field. The under-manned Cobbers started Ernie Teie on the mound but he had trouble finding the plate and was soon relieved by Sonny Gulsvig who pitched creditably the rest of the game. ' The game was marred by numerous walks and fielding lapses by both teams. Concordia's Myron Olson hit a triple for the longest hit of the contest. ,J l Sander 97

GULF QIWUK Billingham, Moe, Elton, Underdal, Severud The Concordia golf team suffered with other spring sports because of the unfavorable weather. The schedule was cut to only three regular season matches plus the Minnesota Intercollegiate Conference tourney. The team was coached by Professor A. I-Iolvik. The linksmen dropped their first two matches to MSTC and finished last in the annual Tainter Cup Intercollegiate Golf Tournament. NDAC won this meet and MSTC placed second. The golfers then traveled to St. Thomas for the conference tournament. Their lack of practice was evident as they managed to cop only seventh place. The host St. Thomas team captured first place while Concordia could only top St. Mary's. Team captain Arland Elton posted the lowest score for the Cobbers with a 167 as a 36 hole total. Members of the tournament team included Rodney Nelson, Dick Moe, Kenneth Severud, Arland Elton, and Robert Underdal. Coach I. A. Holvik
