Blue and White net stars won all oi' their matches except the ones with Topeka and also won first in the regional meet at Horton. ln a til-s.ate meet at Baldwin, they placed second in doubles and third in s.ngles. The first tilt of the season was with Hiawatha on the home courts and resulted in a complete victory for the Wild Cats. By special arrangement, the meet with Atchison was held at Lawrence on the University Court where Holton was again the victor. Bern next fell prey of the Holton team, losing eve1'y match to the superior Blue and White net stars. The team next went to the Baker Relays Carnival at Baldwin, Kansas, where they placed second in doubles and third in singles. In a return match with Hiawatha at Hiawatha, Holton again won every match. The following Wednesday the team went to Topeka where they were defeated in all of their matches by the defending state champions In the regional tourney held at Horton, Holton won every match and thus placed first and second in singles, and first in doubles. The following boys played on the tennis team: Warren Sinning and Clare McKinsey played singles: and Harold Sinning and Gordon Guise played doubles. Mr. Carl Branciner supervised tennis activities. Gordon Guise, who came to Holton this year, has been a valuable addition to the tennis team. Gordon formerly lived in India where tennis is the chief athletic interest of the people there and consequently was Gordon's favorite sport. Next year the team will have to find new recruits as both Harold Sinning and Clare McKinsey will graduate. Harold has been a letter man for three years and Clare for the last two years. Warren Sinning, a member of the team for the past two years, and Gordon Guise each have another year to play. 5rl- 'r..-L'Wg,:.gni...:i.amm:'a1m..'- H A-LH 1 9 3 2 W 'lliilllillllll-'E-lf!!-UW PAGE 40

Mr. Hedge W. Hollis Pagel Jordan Walton W, Hgwell V. Clary J. Kaul Abbuehl G. Porteriield Ellis Kathrens L. Schreiber N. Lewis Junior High Track Junior High Kittens finished secsnd in the Big Seven track meet for junior high schools at Horton, April 30. Hiawatha, the winner of the meet, piled up 5214 counters while Horton trailed far behind with 415 points. Holton garnered 15 points to finish behind Hiawatha. The weather was somewhat unfavorable for the boys, since the cinder path was soggy because of rain: and in the wo1'ds of Coach Homer Hedge, We had to bail out the pits. Pagel was high point man for the Kittens with eight points marked up to his credit. He took first in the running high-jump, but did not stop with this, he came back to take second place in the shot put. Coach Hedges men placed in six events although they took but one first place. They had a great chance to win the blue ribbon in the hurdles, for the Holton man ranked first in the qualifying heat. But in the actual race he tripped over a hurdle, losing so much time that he did well to rank fourth. A summary of Holton's points shows that Pagel ranked first with eight points, Howell next with two, and Clary and Kathrens each contributed one. The other three points were won by the 440 yard relay team, composed of Abbuehl, Kathrens, Howell, and Clary, which placed second. PAGE 39
