Folck, made a fine record. In the opening quadrangular meet here they placed third, and at a triangular affair at El Dora- do they finished second with Max Young as low medalist. The pas- ture squad placed third in the Ark Valley, and again Max Young was low medalist. They plan to at.tend an invitation tour- nament at Wichita on May 12 and the state meet on May 20. Max Young is only a junior and shows promise of developing into one of the greatest golfers in Valley history. W.H.S. expects great things of him next season. Fleet-Footed Vikings Beat Cinders to Pieces Coach Titus reports that from 35 to 40 boys turned out at the beginning of the track season. This is the largest turnout that he has had for track at W.H.S. The school bought new com- plete suits and warm-ups for the squad this year, whereas in the past only warm-ups have been furnished. On March 31 the tracksters won a triangular meet at Black- well, defeating Blackwell a n d Ark City. On April 11 Winfield placed second at an invitational meet at Ark City. On April 15 the Vik- ings went to Anthony and placed fourth among 70 Kansas schools. At Wichita on May 6 they wound up their season with a rating of sixth in the Ark Valley. The Anthony meet was attend- ed by 1,100 athletes and was the largest event of its kind sponsored by a Kansas high school. Leading W.H.S. cinder pound- ers were Adrian Shockey, Ho- bert Hickey, Bob Shepherd, Joe Werner, Charles Jones, Bob Hughes, Jack Weddle, Earl Cook, Ward Davis, and Max Stout. .. ,, MJ' ' Junior and Senior High Netmen Have success The tennis squad, under T.H. Vaughn, was undefeated in team play. At a Tulsa tournament G. Tucker ranked second in singles: in the Ark Valley he was secondg and at Tonkawa he retained his singles crown with ease.

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.
