Lappe, Bill Brehmer, Maurice Schmoll, Dick Graves, Duane Johnson, Lyle Luedke, Cloy Olhausen, Assistant Coach Bill Fox 1 he Boys’ Basketball team had a fairly successful season this year with a record ol thirteen victories out of 25 games, scoring a total of 1152 points to their opponents’ 1029.

Individual scoring honors were divided among the following: Johnson, 379; Breh- mer. 224; Schmoll, 123; Olhausen, 122; and Luedke, 39. The 50-5 I season contained some gocd games, one of the best being the win over Milford, 68-40. The season was darkened by so many games being lost in the last quar- ter; such as Ruthven, 40-38; Paullina. 37-34; and Melvin, 52-48. Nevertheless, the boys showed excellent sportsmanship and spirit while on the court. Letter winners were: Duane Johnson, Cloy Olhausen, Kenneth Wacker, Bill Breh mer, Maurice Schmoll, Lyle Luedke, Dick Graves, and Larry Bartelson.

Connie Cooper, Jermaine Bryant The 1950-51 Season Considering the fact that the Hartley Girls’ Basketball team had only one reg- ular (Neola) back from last year, they really put up a do-or-die fight. This year’s sche- dule was one of the toughest ever played by a Hartley sextette. The Hartley Hawkettes finished their season with a record of eight victories and eleven defeats, scoring 781 points to their opponents’ 836. A thriller diller of a ball game came when Neola Rasmussen and Ella Boernsen teamed up to hold Wachtel, the Sanborn scoring machine, to 1 5 points in the Sectional Tourney. Wachtel had previously beaten us single-handedly with a splurge of 45 points. Some notable victories were over Pocahontas, 47-44; Gruver, 53-45; Albert City, 42-39; and Hartley’s surge of scoring power over Arnolds Park, 76-29. Neola was selected on Jack North’s third team (All-State) this year. Jermain? and Corene won the Sectional free throw contest, but lost out in the District.

Gary Ahrenstorff and Cloy Olhausen received second all-conference ratings; and Maurice Schmoll, Don McCarty, Dan Mc- Carty, and Cass Curtis received honorable mention. The highlight of the season came when Hartley defeated Prirnghar, 12-7 to win a share of the Conference title. For the second time in three years, Milford bit the dust” to the tune of 44-0. Another blaze of power came when Hartley defeated Suther- land, 59-0. In this game, forty-three Hartley footballers saw action. The letter winners this year were: Schmoll, Bartelson. Terpstra, Luedke, Clay, Dodge, Don McCarty, DeJager, Ahrenstorff, Miller. Welch, J. Brehmer, Wacker, Dan McCarty. Olhausen, Sampson, Curtis, B. Brehmer, Johnson, and Steinbeck.
