Hoopsters ' By Dominic Rocchio With a small scrappy team, Hibbing went through what has been called an unsuccessful season. Although light and small the Blue Jack- ets, however, had little difhculty in chalking up their share of victories. Hibbingis first two victims were Grand Rapids and Cloquet. Buhl handed the Blue Jackets their first defeat by winning a very hard- fought game, 20 to 8. The locals then started their victory march, overwhelming Deer River, Keewatin, Grand Rapids, and their arch- rival, Chisholm. In the next game Virginia took an early lead for a 23-19 victory over our team The loss of Red Fiori and L. Simonich in the second semester, because of the eight- semester ruling, was a great blow to our team. Bemidji was the first team to take advantage of this handicap and edged out Hibbing 26 to 25. The Blue Jackets showed that they were still strong by defeating Nashwauk. Duluth Central and Virginia both proved to be too much for the locals. The Blue jackets then defeated an improved Chisholm five. Buhl won from the locals, 21 to 20, which ended the schedule. In the tournament, Hibbing breezed through a victory over Big Fork, but in the semi-finals Coleraine enjoyed a 40-25 victory. Hibbing lost to Grand Rapids in the consolation tilt. The high school UB team and the Lincoln team played a number of games with other teams during the season, and climaxed it with a game between each other, which ended in favor of che Lincolnites. These - A f Q . ...se boys will be the material for the high school team in coming years. A basketball jamboree was held in March. Final games of a city- wide tournament were played. 36S boys played basketball in Coach Gelein's program in the grades and in the freshman and sophomore classes. A decided im- provement in the play and inter- est in basketball was shown this year and a strong effort will be made to run a similar program every year. .

With only a few lettermen to form the 1934 track team, Hibbing placed third in the district meet, tied with Ely for fifth place in the re- gional, and sent five men to the state meet. Hibbing was defeated 802 to son by the powerful Duluth Central squad in the only dual meet of the year. Nadeau's placing first in the quarter mile and Seversonis taking first in the 100-yard dash were the features of the day. Hibbing won three firsts in the thirteen events, forfeiting the relay after winning by approximately 30 yards. The team was weak- ened by the loss of Topinka, a fast sprinter. Williams took at first in the 220-yard low hurdles, E. Williams was hrst in the high iump, and the relay team with Nadeau, Swenson, Murphy and Severson romped away for an easy first place. Hibbing's only individual winner in the regional meet was Severson. He sped through the 220 in 23.4 seconds, breaking the regional record which has stood since 1929. Williams took second in the high jump and the relay team also placed second, losing only by inches. At the state meet, Severson placed fifth in the 220, and the relay team also placed fifth.
