After a close struggle with Humboldt for second place in the Relay Carnival, the team took third fied seven boys and one relay team in the city finals. The team strength was about the same as last year, but the squad still lacked depth in many events.

l Grab It, Mike! Michael Weihrach, Murray's fullback, is shown as he is about to grab the pigskin on the opening kickoff of Murray's Home- coming tilt with Mechanic Arts. Michaell snatched the ball and ran for five yards. l Through the combined efforts of a fast, heavy line and the speed of Peter Aus, Stephen Sweetland, and Dick Foster, Mur- ray's Senior Varsity was able to hold a record of 4 wins and 3 losses. Junior Varsity Gains Experience The Pilots, Junior Varsity, though lacking in num- bers, showed promise. They started out the season with two non-conference wins over Concordia by 38-0 and 32-14. In their four conference games their inexperience showed up as they lost to Harding, Mechanic Arts, and Johnson. The Junior Varsity lost Washington, most of last year's players to the senior squad.

Fighting Buckete ers While Murray's senior varsity basketball team did not have a particularly successful season, they were always fighting. The first game at Roches- ter was a very hard fought, low scoring game, ending in defeat for the Pilots. The team bounced back, however, and was victorious over Le Cen- ter, 45-39, and Concordia, 57-56. The Pilots also defeated a very strong alumnae team by two points in a three minute overtime. In the Hrst conference game, the Pilots bowed in defeat to a strong Johnson team. In successive games, the scrappy Pilot men lost to Minneapolis Southwest, St. Paul Central, Mechanic Arts, Humboldt, Harding, and Wilson. Their hard work was finally rewarded when the bucketeers defeated the Monroe Green Wave and the Wash- ington Prexies. The Pilot bucketeers were a quick reacting team. Because they were not large, Coach George Rose depended on speed and fast breaks. The team was led in scoring by co-captains James Jannett and James Pearson. Among the leading contenders for starting berths next year are John Vollmer, William Engebretson, Gary Alm, Thomas Skovholt, and Robert Griffin.
