' VSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA WWW VSAfWVWWWS A V VvW’vV S FOOTBALL This sports section is dedicated to the Champions of ’41, who sailed through the first undefeated season in the history of Laurel Hi, to capture every crown possible with the present system used in class B football. The Locomotives started their offensive against Cody and never stopped till they knocked over Anaconda Central for the Southern Montana Championship. The season was sparked with many thrills and lots of good football. It was a heavy team with a strong line and a fast backfield which rolled over all its opponents. By winning all our district games we wron the right to play Klein for the Yellowstone District title. After a thriller we won by a small margin in an overtime game. In the overtime period both sides scored, setting a national record, because it’s the first time both sides scored in the California playoff. Beating Klein gave us a clear shot at the Southern Division Championship. We had to play Anaconda, winners of the Three Rivers District and trounced them in a comparatively easy game. The team of ’37 had won the S. M. D. C. but had suffered two defeats. So here’s to the team of ’41, the only undefeated football team Laurel has produced. The team was composed of eight senior lettermen and five underclass letter-men. All but one lineman is lost this year by graduation.

BASKETBALL Laurel Locomotives 1941-1942 basketball team had a fruitful season with 14 wins to six losses. However the squad hit a low peak at the district tournament held at Laurel February 25-28 by placing fifth. Laurel was one of the pre-toumey favorites. Park City stayed a top team and won the crown. Carbon took second in a held-over play-off by defeating Bridger. The local squad won the free throw trophy with a .589 percentage. The Locomotives will have a team to watch next year because graduation deprives the team of only two seniors, Bill LaPrath and Robert Sullivan. Current season lettermen were as fol- lows: Bill LaPrath and Robert Sullivan, seniors; Kep Stankey, Loren Palmer and Paul Gjefle, juniors; Hal Propp, sophomore; Ken Cook, freshman.
