Swimming champs, and how! Wfins from North, victories over the Oakies at Tulsa, Will Rogers and Central. And they topped it off with the state aqua crown to the tune of three broken records for the Ace mermen and individual honors for Aces Fink and Ferguson. But what's behind those records? Long hours of work in the poolg lengths, lengths, and more lengths, and the watchful eye of Coach Wilson. it The netmen showed their stuff: close matches and love sets, deuce games and service aces, number two spot in the Ark Valley, second place at Hutch. Barnes, Rogers, Apitz, Paul, and all the rest, nice goin'! ir They dug their divots with a right good vengeance, birdies and holes-in-one. The Aces played host to the state's biggest high school golf tourney, the East High Invita- tion, and took second spot in their own big show, played the longest schedule East rlubbers have had in many a year, and topped off the season with a pretty fancy average it And the wrestlers grunted and groaned to the tune of an Ark Valley championship. Six wins and two losses in Valley competition. Some record for the muscle-men of the blue and white.
