Tennls p N C , Although only one letterman, Bill Dare, returns from 19440, the Junior College tennis squad, aided by such high school stars of last year as Paul Saurman and Don Howick of South, Homer Adrianse of Central, and Edwin Jasinski of Catho- lic Central, is expecting a fairly good season this year, despite the loss of its first four games. The season ,opened somewhat inauspiciously on April 23 when the team journeyed to Kalamazoo and lost 6-0 to a strong, experienced Western State Teachers College varsity team. Dare, Saur- man, Adrianse, Howick, and Evans made the trip. In their next match, that with Ferris, the team was disappointingly beaten, 5-2, with Edwin Jas- inski replacing Dick Evans as number five man. This latter score was also the margin by which they lost their next match, to Calvin, with Junior taking only the first and fifth singles matches and none of the doubles. Bob Essebager took over the number five position from Jasinski. The match with Central State Teachers College was rained out on May 1. The schedule for the rest of the year is as fol- lows: May 3 Ferris Institute there May 5 W.S.T.C.

T n ,Iourneying to Mt. Pleasant, the Locals next took on the Central State Teachers Bearcats and again lost, 81 113 to 50 2f3, lack of adequate replace- ments in the field' events spelling their doom. Reed again captured the 880 and Price the pole vault. Against Albion, the team put up something more of a battle, but again lost out in the closing minutes, 69 3X 5 to 62 2f5. Oleskiewicz was tops in the 44-0, Kruse in the 330, and Bill Upton showed excellent form in taking the two hurdling events. Price again: took the pole vault, with Schneider and Loeks tying in the high jump. The relay team, one of the best that Junior has ever had, and composed of Worbec, Kruse, Reed, and Oleskiewicz, burned up the track and took the relays. 1 A Junior's big moment came in a triangular meet with Calvin and Ferris Institute, when the Raiders took first in everything except the shot put and the discus, and so emerged with a total of 935 points, as compared with Calvin's 35M and Ferris's 13. Junior college also sponsored the Second An- nual JC Relays, held at Houseman Field on May 9, to which were invited all the teams in the Grand Valley and Ken-0-Wa leagues. A Only the two following meets now remain on the schedule: . May 8 W.S.T.C. Frosh here May 16-17 State Intercollegiate E. Lansing

Strong freshmen additions to a squad already containing three of last year's lettermen made the golf team of Grand Rapids Junior College the team to beat in the Michigan Junior College con- ference this year. Members of the 1940 squad who again turned out for practice were Joe Badaluco, Don Dilley, and Craig Hitchcock, and to these veterans were added one of the most promising 'of freshmen crops in recent years, consisting of John Mac- Naughton, Sherman Massingham, Grant Reed, Bill Farrar, Henry Razmus, and Bob Waters. Badaluco, MacNaughton, and Massingham were regular starters in the first few matches, with Reed, Waters, Dilley, and Farrar putting up a strong fight for the number four position and sometilnes entering the number three slot. In their first five matches the team had won three and lost two, taking two matches off Calvin College by the scores 9K5-ZM, and 11-1 respec- tively, and one from Hope 'YM-4-M. Their two losses were to Kalamazoo by a 10-2 margin, and to Jackson J.C. by a half point, the score reading SVZ-65 at the end of a hectic battle. The schedule for the rest of the year is asfol- lows: May Muskegon J.C. here May Jackson J.C. here May Kalamazoo College there May Ypsilanti there May Fordson ,I.C. there May W.S.T.C. there May Muskegon J.C. there May Ypsilanti 1 p here May State J.C.
