After an absence of two or three years basketball, baseball and tennis have all been re-established. Basketball returned to J.J.C. after last being played in an abbreviated 1943-44 season. Since Mr Wills had taken over high school basketball. it was necessary to secure a new coach. This was done with the hiring of Mr. James Rickhoff. high school math teacher, to fill the vacancy. He filled the job very ably by winning the conference championship and taking third in the state tourney. With a lapse of three years in baseball competition, as far as our team was concerned, it, too, was returned to the sports scene under the direction of A. A. VVills. The third and last sport to be rehabilitated was tennis which also had an uneventful span of three years. Mr. E. A. Larson was in charge of the netters and had a very promising, potential crew. Our Basketball Coach They were the most cooperative group I have ever worked with. These are the words spoken by Mr. James Rickhoff, the coach of the 1945-46 J.J.C. basketeers. Coach Jimmy Rickhoff in his first season as Junior College coach piloted the VVolves to the conference championship. Now we say to Coach Rickhoif, Thanks for a job well done. .A I3 Q ig, 20
