T R U E B L U E A” BASKETBALL '36 I he boys finished the season winning five conference games and losing nine, but the boys are to be congratulated on their courage and never failing school spirit, for whether in defeat or victory they showed us nothing but their better qualities. 1 he boys seemed to g t off to a good start, but soon their size began to show them at a great disadvantage. It was due to this disadvantage that a good many of the games were lost. Next year we hope to have better luck and if we do it will probably be due to Art Riedel and La Verne Johnson with the help of some very promising new material that is coming up from the championship B” squad of this year. I he tournament this year was held at St. Croix halls and our boys en- tered into it with very high hopes of coming out the winners. Thev won their first game with Colfax but were defeated in their second game with Ellsworth. I his Ellsworth defeat was not so hard to take, however, because Ellsworth had an excellent team and were really the superior squad. W allace Lystad showed himself able to uphold the office of captain by never letting any member of the team lose his morale. Such traits of leadership are to be encouraged to future captains of teams, whether they be winners or losers. B BASKETBALL '36 1 he team completed a successful season under the able guidance of Coach Emil Anderson by winning eleven games and losing only one. The season was probably the most successful one that the “B” team has had since it was organ- ized. It is expected that Coach Eladager will get most of his “'37” material from this year’s team. Einar Edstrom and “Boasting Bo” Young proved to be the most valuable men on offense; however, Harlander and Stevenson proved them- selves capable of defending our goal from the onslaught of the strongest of the opposition. JUNIOR HIGH ATHLETICS The large margin by which the Junior High Football team won all its games this vear proved its superior strength and ability. With a little more ex- perience the boys on the Junior High Basketball team should be able to make an- other champion “B” team soon. Both teams show good material which will develop with practice and training. 1 9 3 6
