After a fine season for a second year' sport the Kimball wrestling team ended its second sea- son with a record of ten wins and only two losses. Throughout the season, the wrestlers were con- ditioning for their toughest match, Hazel Park. The extra effort paid off well, as the Knights downed the Vikings in one of the season's most thrilling meets. The grapplers also maintained their supremacy over Dondero, Fitzgerald, East Detroit, Southfield, Pontiac Northern, Pontiac Central, Farmington, Berkley, and Hazel Park, but lost to Ann Arbor and Port Huron. Still the Knights tied for the Eastern Michigan League championship despite these defeats. ln the regional tournament the wrestlers took third place. John Kreag, Paul Shortt, Butch Harris, Bob Dillon, Dave Brazier, Frank Voeffray, and Don Johnson qualified for the state tournament in which our matmen captured fourteenth place.

Throughout their losing season of tough competition and close scores, the Knights never gave up. The team put their all into every game and, with a few timely breaks, could have had a winning season. Kimball was led in scoring by all S.O.C. guard Mike Harris with 223 points followed by seniors Bill Pace and Bill Santerini. Next year's captains, Gary Moody and Duane Cummings, provide a good nucleus to work toward a better record. The iunior varsity, under coach Dick Zulch, was winless in fifteen starts with Bill Chilton leading in scoring.
