SAHLIN SQUASI-IES SENN PageEight THE AMUNDSEN LOG wwrwn -f -.A EDITOR: IOHN SCHULT2 October 18. 1956 The following mean looking giants compose one of the best lines in the city in making up the Viking forward wall: left to right: Ray Kornatz. Iim Hagen. Fred Maier, Bill Erickson. Milt Wolke, Iohn Iverson. and Matt Chaconas. UNDEFEATED VIKINGS ON WAY TO CITY PLAYCFFS So far this season, Amundsen's fighting eleven has survived two exhibition games and three league contests undefeated. Unless Kelvyn Park or Marshall come up with a secret weapon, the Vikings are a cinch for the White Division crown. In the two practice games Amundsen triumphed over Steinmetz, 19-14, and shut out Lake View, 12-0. In the latter game, Larry Tickner, halfback, provided the outstanding play of the day by returning a Lake View punt 80 yards for a touchdown. The league opener came against Taft, the other White Division pre- season favorite besides Amundsen, and the contest was a thriller. Since these two contenders meet only once, they both were fighting with all they had. The battle remained as close as one could imagine and finally climaxed to a 7-7 deadlock, which Amundsen was awarded due to its greater yard gainage and first downs. The Vikings gained 163 yards rush- ing and 11 first downs, while Taft was held to only 57 yards and 9 first downs. On October 4, the exclusive eleven, with their Taft victory fresh in their minds. continued in their winning ways by blanking Tuley 19-0. The Vikings first struck 'pay dirt' in this game when Chris Pap- pas, the quarterback, sneaked the necessary yard over the goal. The conversion was missed. Now the Vikings were ahead 6-0, and be- came even tougher on Tuley, hold- ing them practically stationary. Af- ter several Tuley failures, Amund- sen again took control, this time Larry Tickner heaved the pigskin 40 yards to Tom Snider, who con- tinued unmolested for a touchdown. The same combination, Tickner to Snider, was used in securing the extra point. Busy Tickner provided added insurance by scoring a third TD on a 4 yard plunge. The successes of the Vikings can be best explained by the fact that they are remarkably balanced. The is as powerful and effec- the offense. The 'ground- defense tive as gainers' are averaging a satisfying 4 yards per carry while the defense is holding the opposition to about 2 yards per carry. A-2 Wins Intramurals Intramural basketball, sparked by the able direction of Mr. Fox, com- pleted its annual session October 9. Triumphant over all senior divi- sions is the team of Auditorium 2. Members of this winning team are': Frank Peterson, Stan Ketchmark, Perry Olsen, Bill Minneman, Peter Benson, Karl Rosen, Chris Pappas, and Larry Tickner. Dick Johnson, Ron Geif, John Iverson, Gary Pearl, Bill Lares, Christ Gramatis, all of 323, fought their way to victory over all other junior teams. 303 defeated all its opponents to end on top of the sophomores. The players of this lively squad are: William Shaw, Dale Schneider, Ron Simon, Erwin Weiss, and Alan Cohler. In the frosh division 115 pre- dominated. It achieved its victory through the playing of Andrew Tiudland, Tom Ray, Loyd Marks, Robert Buslick, Robert Binkaie, Joe Yaffe, and Norman Shapiro. TINP-OFFS s Well, here it is, before a big game in the Viking locker room. There is an air of excitement which engulfs everyone, and has them running around in nervous confusion look- ing for a lost left shoe or a belt to hold his pants up and his jersey down. Injured co-captain, Tom Putz- bach, is seen instilling moral drive with invigorating swats on un- mentionable areas with his 137 lb. cast. Effervescent student coach Chuck Skelena can be heard above the confusion chanting, What's the word? These two are followed by the manager trio, attempting to get in the way. Then while you are bending over lacing your cleats, some 603 lb. mountain steps on your hand on the way to his locker for a routine pre-game energy snack, a peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. After a little pep talk, the bar- baric rush for the exist is ony and in the mad scramble, two tackles and a halfback are trampled. The remainder of the team can usually be seen dashing across the field for a sanction of safety. RED ISN'T WHITE IF IT'S BLUE The football divisions for the north side public schools are di- vided into three groups: the red, white, and blue. Red is the top division with white and blue, sec- ond and third. Each group has six teams which only play against squads in their own group. Schools in red division are: Lane, Austin. Harrison, Crane, Schurz, and Steinmetz. In the white: AMUNDSEN, Taft, Marshall, Tuley, Senn and Kelvyn Park: and in the blue are: Sullivan, Wells, Lake View, Foreman, Waller, and Roosevelt. At the end of each season the first four teams from the red, three from the white and one from the blue are picked for the playoffs. For every season win a team is given 2 points and 1 point for a tie. At the end of a three year period the team with the most points in the division is moved up, while the team with the least points ls moved down. With the present term ending .in 1957, Amundsen plans to be the leader in the white division and climb to the red. Frosh Plagued by Defeat' This is the Frosh-Soph's largest year as far as player personnel is concerned, Coach Earl Carlson stated. For this season's squad con- sists of 46 players including such future Varsity stars as Ed Coursey, Dick Crone, Steve Georgas, Carmen Grande, Dennis and Jim Griffin. Jerry Jacobi, Steve Massau, Ken Nicol, Jim Pappas, Charles Peter- son, Sherman Prazer, Carl Tednes, John Vince, and Bardo Trancheta. The present results of this squad have not been too promising, for out of their first three games this season, the team has gone down to defeat three times. Tuley was the first to conquer Amundsen by a score of 12 to 6, a one touchdown difference that our Frosh-Soph was never able to make up. Failure to make the extra points cost Amund- sen their second contest 'against earl 5 3594 Milwaukee Ave. PA 5-M44 WE CALL AT CLUB MEETINGS AT N0 OBLIGATION TO YOU Club Iackets-any style or color , Senn by a score of 14-12. Taft over- powered Amundsen in game num- ber three by a 27-0 score. The fourth game against Waller was cancelled. Blocking and the offensive line seem to be the chief problems of the team so far, but Coach Carlson is striving for improvement on these points.

S -4 REAL, REAL GONE. BUT NOT I-'ORGOTTEN EDITOR: KARL GA Page Two 'ras AMUNDSEN Loc November 13. 195 The Questioning uoter by Carol Brocato Question: How do you think the school system could be improved? Vickie Brauer, 3A: More mir- rors in the girls' washrooms for betterment of the student body. Mrs. Kenipster: Put an empha- sis on work instead of on extra curricular activities. Lynn Brandenburg, 4B: Just put me in the school system and I'l1 show you. Pat 0'llrien, 213: I feel a recre- ation lounge with a juke box for dancing during lunch periods and study halls would improve the at- titude of the students. This idea has proven successful in other schools. Charlotte Schwartz, 2B: XVe really should have more time be- tween classes and larger lockers. Traffic cops in the halls would prove helpful, too.

Dear Diary' I just finished talking to Judy Flcnzingg she told me about the fun she, Dennis Sall, Terry Udrlenbcrg, and Dale Schneider had at the Luther Leaguers' Conference in Rock Island, Illinois. It was held on the campus of Augustana college. Could it be that the rumor I hear about Paulette Schroeder buying a wagon to carry her cast in is true? She broke her arm in a fall from a horse. Some exchanging of students ap- pears to be going on lately. Plzcron Marine and her brother, Joe. moved to Libertyville, while Arlene Grahm joined our ranks from Gary, Ind. r . Budlong, One of the Earliest Schools, Erected in 1860, Razed in 1907 I can't help thinking back to th recent Variety Show. I certainl enjoyed those Frosh-Sopii acts. Th Sphinx. l'i1's, Atlicnas. Tau Siy. I'ikctts, Judy Kaplan and Barbar Smith had just a ff-ze of the man good routines. It certainly doesn't take muc to convince a girls' club to have P.J. party. Several clubs havin these riots recently were the Am dos, Tabs, Alons, S,pltin.r, and Viv. I have been taking suggestion: from people as to those kizls who have good personalities, so that f could use it in Frosh-Soph.

LAWRENCE AVENUE ' cc an diss OLearys Cow Is All Bull -Maass EVERYTHING PHOTOGRAPHIC How many Amundsenites realize that while they view our beautiful building, it was at one time the site of a truck garden? Mr. Otto Maass, Amundsen's new assistant engineer, has many more tales to tell about the A. H. S. district of fifty years ago and all are just as interesting. Why just down the road CFosterJ apiece was Clem's General Store, and on a lil' farther, on Argyle Street, stood the seemingly ever present McPherson Elementary School. The Ol' Farmers' Market, located on Foster and Lincoln, was the scene of mother natures freak show. Such phenomena as six leg- ged pigs, two headed calves, and four eared lambs were often fea- tnred. Mr. Maass can remember the days when the area surrounding Damen and Argyle was called Wendt's Woods. The Woods were located atop a beautiful sand hill almost two and a half stories high. Imag- ine being able to climb to the peak of the hill and having a clear view of the lake and its surrounding ter- ritory! The present site of Sears Roebuck and Company was once the homestead of two squatters who had fled to the North during the Civil War. A little anecdote of which Mr. Maass is very proud is that his grandfather held a position equiv- alent to that of mayor from 1878 until 1880. He also boasts of a great uncle who aided with the capture of John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Honest Abe. Mrs. O'Leary's cow did not start the Chicago Fire, and a letter in the Maass family can prove that statement. It was actually caused by two drunken teamsters who were fighting. During the fight one threw a lantern at the other and THAT is how the fire originated. Makes quite a difference, doesn't it?
