Coach Ralph Titus worked this year in order to turn out a win- ning team, and his efforts prov- ed successful assfar as the Ark Valley records stand. Losing to Ark City in the Wellington tour- nament gave the Winfield juniors second place. The first junky? high game was played art Ark City. Stout went out on personals which was perhaps the cause of losing 17- 13 in favor of Ark City. Ponca City then journeyed to our courts and the Vikings, made up large- ly of the second team, won 18-16. The Newton junio' s put up a stiff fight when they came to Winfield, but Joe Thornton made a free toss which won the game 11-10 in fav- or of Winfield. The juniors then made a trip to Wellington, winn- ing 19-10 in which Stout was the main charactev of the team, mak- ing nine points. The old rival, A' k City, invaded the home court and Winfield, af- ter having a six point lead at the half, lost 19-14. After the baby Vikings were defeated by Ark City, they took out their revenge on Newton and won 13-11. Well- home-town juniors 10-4. The sec- ond team played most of the time in that game. The last game was played at Ponca City. This was another victory for Winfield with a score of 14-10. There were three teams tied for first place at the end of the season and the officials decided to recognize the winner of the tournament as Ark Valley cham- pions. Winfield was nosed out by Ark City and lost the champion- ship by a few points. This years VikingJunior high squad was composed of Gail Stout, J. R. Yarbrough, Kenneth Fur- low, Bill Thornton, Lyman Weigle, Harold Rogers, Mac Alloway, Joe Thornton, Bill Winfrey and Ted Mc Allister. Gail Stout was the spark of the squad in many games and with his swiftness and sharpshooting was a valuable asset to the team. Joe Thornton was appointed cap- tain of the team and with his twin brother, Bill, also on the team, there were several mix-ups and humorous incidents reported in playing the other towns.
