Track Again it was a story of not enough material that brought Jeff the sixth rung down the ladder in Portland's prep track league. The spring '42 season was opened, os it is each year, by the Hill Relays to which Jeff sent twelve runners. This season saw the first use of the Hopkin Jenkins Field, when a relay meet was held April 3 with Wash- ington, in which Jeff managed to tie the Colonials. On the newly dedicated field, Jeff met Roosevelt and Franklin in the first tri- angular meet. The Demos came out of the scramble on the bottom. Jeff again met a better team when they ran against Grant, but managed to outpoint Commerce. In the final triangular tilt, the Demo thinclods ran over Benson and Sabin in the A, B, and C divisions. Four varsity tracksters, Kemmer, Fisher, Sering, and Warren, turned in good enough records to qualify in the city meet. Sering was the only Demo to place in a race. This final meet was won by Grant with Washington as a close second. Nine juniors qualified in the B division to run in this city meet. A lot of credit for what Jeff did goes to Bob Brandenburg, Ray Sering, Bob Manegre, Clement Kemmer, Frank Fisher, Steve Warren, and Harvey Weiprecht. Much more successful than the varsity were the junior and frosh squads. The juniors placed high in the city and show plenty of promise. Running in the city meet, Owen Collins ran away from the entire field in the mile to take first place in 4:57. The “C squad swept the entire field and came out without a setback although the cham- pionship rights are not recognized because of no city C division meet. The C squad managed to top a Grant C team which was Grant's first defeat in years at the hands of Jefferson in track. Tennis The 1942 girls' tennis team came out in second place, with Grant winning the championship. The members of the team in order were Lorraine Rhoades, Jo Anne Winslow, Devoe Johnston, and Jeanette Ek. Lorraine Rhoades won all the games she played, and Jo Anne Winslow, Devoe Johnston, and Jeanette Ek each lost one game. Lorraine Rhoades, 7th termer, and Jeanette Ek, 8th termer, are the only ones left this season. The 1942 boys' tennis team came out in third place, with Washington winning the championship, and Grant in second place. We won four games and lost two. The members of the team were, respectively, Malcolm Gynther, Ted Cook, Calvin Lang, Jack Tellefson, and Ray Dixson. Malcolm Gynther, 5th termer, Tom Cook, 8th termer, and Ray Dixson, 4th termer, are the only ones who will be back this season. Golf In the 1942 golf season, Jefferson placed third in the Portland prep league standing, with Grant and Washington holding first and second place, respectively. We lost only two games. The top positions were held by George Taylor, Ed Altree, Gus Kriara, and Warren Davis, with Bob Swanberg and David Kelly as alternates. Warren Davis won the most points of all the members of the team: even in the losing games, he won several points. David Kelly is the only one who will be back this season. All the rest have either gone into the service or graduated.

B Football This season the Junior football squad had three wins, three losses, and a tie. Pre- season prediction had it that the baby Demos would take the championship or come close to it. However, because of numerous injuries and some bad luck, Jeff lost to Franklin, Grant, and Roosevelt. None of the games were lost by more than one touch- down. These boys showed a lot of promise and with a little practice and experience will be able to take some of the varsity positions left open by graduates. The backfield had two promising prospects in Lou Wegner and Dean Blair, who have plenty of speed and power. Elmers and Koch also looked good on the line. The team had a successful season in that its main purpose was to ready some recruits for next year's varsity. Ice Hockey This winter the Jefferson hockey team, having played a good year of hockey, finished in third place. The boys who played were Dick Bitzer, Chuck Loud, Dean Rouse, Wayne Strowbridge, Bruce Peterson, Bob Beall, Dave Kolden, Don Linstedt, Bob Fries, Tom Rouse, and Don Walker. Chuck Loud, Bob Beall, Tom Rouse, Bob Fries, Dick Bitzer, and Don Walker will not be back next season. Jeff Juniors This year Jeffs Junior basketball squad enjoyed a very successful season. Out of 16 games they won 13 and lost only 3. Steady players throughout the season were Bob Schiewe, Harold Elmers, Tom Hartung, Lou Wegner, Chuck Urness. Ken Kraus, Ron Farrell, and Bob Littlejohn. Others were George Thompson, David Summers, Harry Bigler, Owen Collins, Glenn Larson, Norman Gynther, and Frank Cook. C Basketball The Jeff C squad won the city championship this season as a result of winning all 7 games of their schedule. The spark of the team was Frank Mako. Jimmy Kraus also was a consistent scorer. Mako played for Jeff in the Goldenball tourney while Jimmy Kraus also sparkled the Jeff Hi Squirts in the tournament. The Squirts lost out to Glencoe in their second tilt, 20 to 18. Other players consistent throughout the season were Vern Liebelt, Bud Ehrlich, Walter Kelly, Wayne Stipe, Guy Jacques, Warren Schneider, Bob McEvers, and Bob Beamer.
