l li LII lil l J' Flashing some championship falenf, fhe boys' fennis feam fhis season is easily +he besf seen af Granf in years. The feam has swamped every opponenf fo dafe and Coach Horning is opfimisfic concerning fhe possibilify of having fhe number one spof when fhe season comes fo an end. Led by Oregon Sfafe lnferscholasfic Champion Emery Neale, fhe squad has sef a ferrific pace which no school has fhus far been able fo meef. Also among fhe champions playing for Granf is fhe liffle dynamo, Ned Jungck. Ned won fhe norfhwesf boys' championship lasf summer and has been play- ing a man-sized game. Probably fhe mosf consisfenf player on fhe feam is a fhree-year leH'erman- Jack McClimen+. Jack has never losf a mafch in his fhree years of fournamenf play. Supporfing fhese boys are Paul Shaw, Jim Wolfard and Kermif Smifh. The doubles combinafions are Shaw and Jungclr, or Smifh and Wolfard, playing alfernafely. Alfhough lacking experience in fournamenf play, fhe girls' fennis feam is expecfed fo represenf Granf well fhis season. Paced by Helen Wrighf and Eileen Eschbaclt, fhe squad has fhus far won every mafch buf one-a hard-foughf fourney wifh Jeff. All vicfories have been clean sweeps excepf fhe Jeff +iI+ in which fhe G-women losf by buf one poinf. Coach Horning believes fhe feam will finish ouf in second or fhird place which, he admifs, will exceed his expecfafions earlier in fhe ferm. Also playing a nice brand of fennis for Granf are CharloHe Osfrom, Gerfrude Berg, and Jerry Cohen. G 0 I. I: Wifh fhe graduafion of Jimmy Miller and Al Cook lasf year, Coach May was leff wifh nofhing buf a smile for his I938 golf feam. In spife of fhis serious handicap, a new feam was assembled which promises fo give a good accounfing of ifself. Though fhe championship is beyond fhe hopes of fhe squad, fhey are sure fo give any feam in fhis man's league a run for ifs money. Jimmy lfhe-puffing-fooll Shaw is fhe number one man on fhe squad, Kermif Smifh fills fhe number fwo iob, while Einar lwild-man, Allan as number fhree, Arfhur lfrap-arfisfl Ness as number four and Ted lalfernafel Griswold, complefe fhe feam. Coach May is confronfed wifh fhe same difficulfy in fhe girls' feam as in fhe boys, fhaf of lacking experienced maferial. Almosf all fhe girl divofeers are green and new fo fournamenf play. Nancy Lewis, fhe one refurning leHerman, leads fhe squad from fhe number one position. Jeanne Landfare, who comes fo us from Washingfon, is doing well af fhe number fwo job. Norma Holmes, Paf Wrighf, Marg Rauch and Virginia Malloy as alfernafe are supporfing fhe feam from fheir respecfive posifions.

Jim Ness Denny Friedman Pinhie'i Gloss Ed St anim y 3 llflslilffllzlll For fhe l938 baskefball season Grani' ush- ered in a new coach fresh from Corvallis high school, where his I936 feam had won +he siaie baskefball championship. He was fall, likeable James Mush Torson. Coach Torson's firsi' move was 'ro seleci' a squad of only fwo grad- ua+ing seniors, six iuniors, and 'Four sophomores. From ihis lisf bul' fwo were leHermen. Afler a successful pre-season schedule had been played, lhe league's four+een-game pro- gram gol' under way, bu+ 'lhe inexperienced Generals dropped +heir firsi 'lhree games by very close scores. Here Coach Torson changed +he line-up, moving fhree sophomores in+o firsf-s+ring ber+hs, and began building his I939 feam. These underfermers clicked surprisingly well, and hung up +wo viciories, over Wash- ing+on and Benson, and lafer pulled 'rhe sea- son's biggesi' surprise by handing Franklin's +i+le-bound Quakers a 24-22 selback. When +he season ended, fhe Generals were in six'rh place, wirh four wins and fen losses. Jim Parflow and Marvin Le'Hy Scoh' de- serve flowers as Gran+'s mos+ ou+s'randing in- dividual performers. Parflow, a marvelous long-sho? ar+is'r, was +he G-men's high scorer for 'rhe season. If a mid-season vaccina+ion hadn'+ laid Jim low for a few games, fhis lad mighi' have finished several no+ches higher. ScoH' was lhe ball-handling demon of ihe +eam, providing fhe spark and gus+o of a fas+-break- ing aHack. ScoH' and Del U'Her, 'lhe 1'wo graduaiing players, boih earned +heir second leHer 'fhis season. Le++ermen rerurning nex+ season are Parflow, Dave Edwards, Bob Wreisner, Ed S+amm, Herb Cain, March Glos, Benny Fried- man, Jim Wes+, Jim Ness, and Jim McGregor.
