With the weather hampering practice the Hamburg squad entered the County Baseball Tournament with only three workouts under their belts. Despite their lack of practice and experience the boys had their sights set on the Championship. The first round of the tournament got underway April 17, with Hamburg and Tabor and Randolph and Farragut. Hamburg defeated Tabor 3 to 2, while Farragut took out Randolph 4 to 3. The last half of the first round games pitted Riverton against Percival and Thurman against Sidney. Percival won from Riverton 10-0, while Thurman nosed out Sidney 3 to 2. Farragut and Hamburg and Thurman and Percival played in the second round games with Hamburg and Thurman the winners. Hamburg won the final game of the tournament by downing Thurman by the close score of 4 to 3. The Hamburg team is as follows: Virgil Lynn, left fieldg Gene Brown, shortstop, pitcher, Gary Langston, catcher, Jack Hollingsworth, third base: Gary Ware, center fieldg Max Rageth, second baseg Ray Kingery, first baseg Charles Barnes, right fieldg Norman Brown, pitcher. Hamburg also won the Iowa High School Sectional Baseball Tournament by defeating Sidney 8 to 5, Shenandoah 5 to 3 and Farragut in the finals 6 to 2. Many of the players who won this sectional were members of the various summer base- ball teams that the city of Hamburg so loyally supports. TRACK The Track team entered the Tri-State meet at Peru, the County Conference meet at Shenandoah, where they placed third, and participated in a dual meet. Many good individual performances were turned in at the various meets. BASEBALL SQUAD Row 1: Dixon Rageth R. Lynn Barnes Gubser D. Brown Row 2: Hollingsworth Kingery V. Lynn N. Brown G.

In the first games the boys were just learning HOW the game of basketball was played. After learning the fundamentals the team started on the upgrade. Towards the middle of the season they had a 6-game winning streak. The quintet entered the County Basketball Tournament and placed third. With a little more experience they entered the Sectional Tournament and placed first, which entitled them to go on to the District Tournament, where they were beat out by Glenwood. Even though handicapped by lack of size and experience the basketball team turned in a good record of 11 wins and 11 losses. Norman Brown placed on the All-Southwest Con- ference Basketball Team. r j 1 L - ' ,Q 2' xi' Y '- V ' I , L ..... . 'Fe' f . : ' Z- U, ..
