He also won a free throw contest with 86 out of 100 shots to win a basketball. ' For proving to be the steadiest free thrower, Adrian received a medal from Coach Lee.

Mag- nuson, captain of the '36 track team, handles the half-mile dash and hurdles. james Nesse does the heavy dash work, but he also competes in broad jumping. Milton Nesse runs the longer dashes, broad jumps, and runs on the relay team. Other members include Victor Jung, who throws the weights and runs the 440g Alfred Nelson, who high jumps and hurdlesg Pomeroy Hill, who competes in pole vaultingg and Selmer Dicken, who runs the 880 dash.

Friday evening the Prowlers made it three in a row over Warren, this time tanning their hide with 25 counters to 21 'for the Ponies. Playing with careless abandon. the Gold and Blue outscored Warren easily in the first period and sailed through the last three periods on the blast of early scoring.

Crookston lost a heart breaker to the Little Green Wave in a story-book finish. The Wave led all the way until. with twenty-five seconds to go, Vordale of 'Crookston was awarded two gift shots, enough to tie. He made the first one! The crowd was wild. Then he sank the second one and the Crookston boys were uncontrollable in their burst of joy!
