Red Lake Falls 'I9 - The Green Wave I3 An unexpected loss was suffered in this game. Although the team had not recovered from the physical beating of the week before everyone expected the Wave to win this one. The half ended l3-O for the Wave with things going smoothly, The Lakers came back strong the second half, however, and dominated the play. Captain Stewart's 80-yard run for a touchdown featured this game. Crooksfon 6 - The Green Wave 6 This game showed a marked improvement and after being outplayed in the opening half the locals started played good ball in the third period. During the second half the Pirates never threatened while the Wave was in scoring territory constantly, The kicking of Spriggs was outstanding. The Green Wave 39 - Crookston A. C. 0 Starting where they left off in the Crookston game, the Wave rolled over the Aggies, scoring nearly at will, McGarry and Spriggs each scared twice, while Matt and Stewart tallied one each. Grand Farks 6 - The Green Wave 0 The big game of the year, The Maroons, undefeated in the season's play and with the best team to represent Grand Forks for years, found that they had more than they bargained for, A well played game, in spite of the 80' temperature, kept the largest crowd in the local schaol's history on edge from the opening whistle. The only score came on a pass in the second quarter and from then on G, F. was content to protect its slim lead. Several times Stewart broke loose far long runs but couldn't get past the safety. The line turned in its best performance of the year in this game, The Green Wave 26 - St. James 6 The season closed with a decisive victory over a better than average St. James eleven, at the U stadium. Stewart had a field day, scoring all four touchdowns. A shutout was in sight until the final minutes when M, Welsh of the .limmies broke away for a 78-yard touchdown run. it a3Iu

Merriam Erickson, Dwayne Parlluw. The Wave played the longest and the hardest basketball schedule in the history of the school during the 194445 season. Twenty-five regular season games were played with the strongest teams in this area of Minnesota and North Dakota. Of these, twenty were victories, which is the most games ever won by the locals in a single season. Only one defeat was by a Minnesota team. The Wave was undefeated in District 3l competition, Another record was broken when Captain Don Wavra scored 249 points during the regular season. Of this year's squad tive men were seniors, two were juniors and three sophomores -- so that pros- pects for a strong team next year are bright.

The opening game against a strong Bemidji team found the team in the poorest physical condition of the year - Captain Don Wavra, with a broken thumb, and Ralph Larson, third high scorer for the sea- son, with an injured leg which didn't allow him to dress for games. This, together with perhaps the poorest played game of the season on the part of the Wave and a stellar performance by the Lumber Jacks, spelled a decisive defeat. 'iw , X T f e330
