W, Z'i1n.3s p COACH To Coach Cassel goes the lion's share of the credit for the completion of another highly successful year of athletics in Iamestown College. In the eleven years he has been here, Coach has produced one of the finest records ever compiled in North Dakota. Since his arrival in 1930 he has developed 14 championship teams. His football teams have won championships in '33, '34, '35, and '41. He has cap- tured the basketball title in 33, '35, '36, '39, and '40: and track conferences in '32. '36, '37, '39, '41, Most of Coach Cassell's success can be attributed to his great knowledge and love of athletics. He was graduated in 1925 from Carleton College with four letters in football and four in baseball. He missed basketball letters because he broke his shoulder in the next to the last football game in his freshman year and broke his leg in the final game of his sophomore year. Starting his coaching career at Epworth Military Academy, Iowa, in 1925, Cassell went to Olivet College in Michigan in 1926. He remained there until he came to Iamestown in the fall of 1930, coaching base- ball at Carleton in the spring of 1930. Besides being coach of the three major sports, he is directing the intra-mural sports on the campus. By sponsoring touchball, campus league basketball. softball, handball, swimming, golf, and tennis, he strives for a program which everyone may participate in and enjoy. Prime factors in Cassell's success are his amiable personality, his keen sense of humor, and his sincerity, which have given him at all times the full co- operation of the athletes and the student body. His teams are remembered wherever they play for their sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct. He has pro- duced an athletic morale in Iamestown College of which he can be justly proud.

TRACK The Iirnmie tracksters culminated an excellent season by winning the Conference championship. The team was powerful and well-balanced. Its highest goal was achieved, not by one or two outstanding men, but by the conscientious and serious training of each member of the squad. We may attribute the victorious season to this earnest determination and clean fighting spirit, which is characteristic of all our athletic teams. On April 23 the Iimmies opened the '41 season with the annual triangular meet at Ellendale. The Dusties nosed out the fighting Iimmies by five points. Ray Sears garnered eight points by winning and setting a new college record in the discus throw, and by taking second in the shot put. Harry Hendrickson placed first in the half mile, and Al Graves won the 100-yard dash. Ashley Thorn- berg leaped 5 feet ll inches to win the high jump. Against very stiff competition at the Moorhead relays. the Iimmies came through to capture sec- onds in the 440-yard relay, the sprint medley, and the mile relay. In the initial meet on the college track, the Iimmie team was bested only by last year's conference winner, Ellendale. Our well-balanced aggregation won one first and ten sec- ond places to amass 46 points. Valley City and Dickinson had 41 and 23 points respectively. Paced by Harry Hendrickson, who won the half mile, and Ashley Thornberg, who won the high jump, the Cassellmen captured third place in the annual pentangular' meet at Taylor Stadium. As a triumphant climax to a successful season, the Iimmies, in a thrilling contest at the college field, won the Conference championship. They scored 62 y2 points to depose the Ellendale Dusties. The dramatic highlight and final deciding event of the meet was the mile relay. Ellendale needed a first place to retain the championship. In a thrilling finish Rempfer of Ellendale, and Hendrickson, Iimmie star, tell exhausted across the finish line. Harry Hendrickson won the event and conse- quently the meet by a split second. Captain Bill Ogden, Harlan Edson, and Bob Muir were the other members of the relay team which carried the baton to victory. By rolling up points in all events, the team showed its superior power. Everett Kangas, with ll points was high point man for the locals: he placed second in the pole vault and two mile run, and third in the mile run. Alan Graves won the 100-yard dash and took second in the 220. Bill Ogden captured second and third place in the 100 and 220 respectively. Bob Muir,besides being a member of the winning mile re- lay team, took second and third places in the low and high hurdles. Thornberg garnered 3Vz points by tying for second and third in the high jump. The loop championship was a just reward for ct well-trained and aggressive squad. The lettermen elected Alan Graves as the new captain. The 1941 lettermen were Graves Hendrickson, Kangas, Ogden, Shook, Sears, Muir, Thornberg, Lamm, Edson, Sechler, and Thompsonl
