The team took victory after victory from many of the teams that were rated high in the sport. Although Hood River had a comparatively easy schedule to that of other years, it defeated many strong teams such as Astoria, The Dalles, Pacific University Frosh and Camas. They won every game played up to the state championship, but there met defeat to a very heavy Jefferson team.

F arty-two THE MASCOT Sports In the last three or four years, Hood River high had good teams in every sport in which it has competed: track, football, basketball baseball and skiing. Football proves itself to be the major sport and is growing very rapidly in Hood River. In years gone by gate receipts for football seemed unsatis- factory, but ever since the lights were installed, the gate receipts have gone up, and this year there was a profit. This is due to the good showing of the team, with the support and help of the Breakfast club, Quarterback club and various organizations of business men in the city who backed the field- lighting project. Skiing has become a sport not only of just individuals and clubs, but also of teams in colleges and high schools. In 1935, a ski team was organ- ized by a group of five high school students, who participated in the events at Government Camp. Ever since then a team of five students has entered this state meet. The events of the meet are downhill and slalom racing. Let- ters are not earned in this sport and the team's expenses are paid by the teams themselves and one meal is given by the Oregon Winter Sports As- sociation. The ski teams are making good progress, having won at least second and third places every year. The following teams have represented the school. In 1935 the team was composed of Winston Childs, Vic Howell, Mike Franz ftook thirdl, Don Spergen, Jack Cosley, In 1936, Vic Howell, Al Childs, Don Spergen ftook thirdj, Chan Smith, Jack Cosley, In 1937, Mike Franz, Allison Childs, Jack Baldwin ftook thirdl, Chan Smith, Bob Moller. Track for the last three years has been very successful in both track and field events. There has been a good delegation from every team sent to the state meet each year, but in 1936 Coach Tommy Johnson sent down his biggest delegation. Usually there has just been a relay team and maybe one other runner, but this year he sent down not only his relay team but also his hurdlers, a couple of field men, and a couple of dash men and distance runners. Jack Loving placed third in the high hurdles. The squads in the past years have been: 1934, Dee Phelps, Bob Samuel, James Cheatham, Rich Radliff, Bob Robards, Tom Sheldrake, Earl Beggs, John Barney, Jim Lill, Lewis White, Mardon Talbot, In 1935, Golden No- ble, Cliff Hoover, Elved Steele, Jim Cheatham, Clyde Easterly, Rich Rad- liff, Bob Samuel, Walt Green, Tom Sheldrake, Arlo Ordway, Mardon Tal- bot, Bob Baker, Bert Sinclair, Charles Colvin, Irvin Sampson, In 1936, Jack Loving, Golden Noble, Dick Bentley, Elved Steele, Russell Graff, Walter Green, Arlo Ordway, Harry Phelps, Jack Cosley, Bob Woodward, Bert Sin- clair, Millard Carnes, Errol Harris, Vern Larson, Ted Hartzel, Sigeo Kiyo- kawa.
