Conference Bob Van Gundy, forward-a letterman last year and a football regular, Bob was one of the best ball hustlers in the league. Although not a high scorer, he played consistent ball all year and was one of the most valu- able men on the squad. Bob was also a straight MA student and a tennis letterman. Bob Woodward, senior, forward-a letterman last year, Bob was handicapped this year by an injured ankle which kept him out of football and hindered him through the earlier part of the basketball season. He turned in the best scoring effort of the season against Marysville, garnering 21 points. Bob was also an excellent student and a tennis letterman. Junior Hoisington, center-a letterman last year and an all-star end in football, Hoisy was a popular choice for all C.K. L. center. He was also an excellent student and a speedy sprinter in track. Roger Brice, senior, guard-a letterman last year at forward Schrag was shifted to guard this season and turned in a brilliant season. His arching long shots were largely responsible for the second victory over Abilene. Rog also pulled in more than his share of the rebounds and was a dead shot from the free-throw lane. ln addition he was a tennis letterman. Al Hargarve, senior, guard- a letterman last year and an all C. K. L. tackle in foot- ball, Al turned in a steady, consistent game. He was the hero of the Lawrence game, tossing in the game win- ning basket in the final seconds of play. Al was also one of the most dependable members on the track squad.

The Maroon Mustang track squad of 1938 was the largest and one of the most well-balanced squads in Salina High track history. There are many outstanding individual performers but a number of these were also included in the powerful relays. Although the squad was made up chiefly of seniors, there were several outstanding underclassmen. In the dashes Hoisington was the number one man, being a point-winner in every meet. Others who ran either in the sprints or the sprint relays were Reed, Meadows, Bowles, Hart, Fred Eberhardt, and Virgil Olson. The quarter-mile event had an abun- dance of good men among whom were Reed, Charles Eberhardt, Virgil Olson, Magathan, Banker, Fred Eberhardt, and Morrison. Others who show promise in these shorter runs are Thyfault, Finney, and Struble. In the hurdles Hines, Reed, and Struble, Magathan, Norris, and Frobenius were the candidates. Norris and Struble are sophomores. Walker, fine Maroon half-Iniler, became ineligible in mid-season because of the age limit and his duties fell to Wen- ger, King, and Van Pelt, sophomore. Two juniors, Porter and Mowe, proved to be the best milers Salina has had for a number of years. Al Hargrave, big Maroon all-around athlete, was the standout in the weight events, placing in al- most every meet. Cochrane, husky sophomore, showed much promise, as did B. Smith and E. Miller, juniors. Gehhardt, Eagle, White, and Smith were the ja- velin throwers. Bowles made a fine record in the broad jump, placing in every meet. DuPree was the other regular broad jumper. DuPree was also the number one Mustang pole vaulter and high jumper. In the poll vault he bettered his own mark nearly every time he competed. Cole and Moore are sophomores who should go places in the pole vault. Lanning and Cook are freshmen who show promise.

Champions Roy Mitchell, senior, guard-a letterman last year and an all-league center in football, was a capable re- serve. A smart, dependable player, he could be counted on to enter the game in a tight spot and turn in a competent performance. Mitch,' was another straight Aw student. Bill Quinley forward-a letterman two years ago, Bill was one of the most spectacular players in the league. He played his best ball in the two McPherson games, scoring 18 points in the second encounter. Bill was also mentioned on several all-star quintets because of his bril- liant shooting and passing. ,lack Purdy, senior, for- ward-a letterman last year and a football letterman, Jack was small but was a hard fighter. He did not see a lot of service this season, but gave his best when called up- on, being an excellent ball hustler. Jack also rated as a good student. Jim Surface, senior, guard-a B team graduate and a football letterman, ,lim saw service at both guard and center. He was one of the hardest work- ers on the squad using his height to good advantage. ,lim also was a high-ranking student and a good golfer. Bob Stevenson, junior, forward-the only underclass- man on the first squad, Bob divided his time between the AW and B squads. His accuracy at hitting the basket made him valuable on both 'squads and he should be one of the standouts on next year7s team. The 1937-38 squad was the best cage team Salina High has produced in a decade. They not only took the un- disputed C. K. L. Championship, but also made an excel- lent showing against several strong non-conference foes. Q , N
