Our team looked like a group from the dramatics department as they gave their own version of the River Falls Stall, used by the orange and white against us last year. The Maroons, under a revised W.l..X..X. tournament system, sailed to Mondovi for a chance at the sub-regional crown, which would entitle them to a cruise to Eau Claire for the regional tourney. Durand sank under pressure from our rugged fast-moving squad, but Mondovi's Buffaloes plowed under all hopes of a repeating regional title by washing our decks to a score of 45 to 35. Jerry Shafer, first-string guard, was chosen on the second all-tournament team, while Bob Qnstad received honorable mention. Outstanding features of the squad this year were the even distribution of scoring, versatility of the players, and the use of under-classmen, parti- cularly sophomores. Jerry Shafer was elected honorary captain for the year and was also presented with the free-throw trophy, given annually to the player with the greatest per cent of successful gift shots.

Schultz QI1 Your Mark! Wfith the coming of the birds and the melting of snow, Menomonie High Schoolls trackmen begin once more the job of keeping up the high standards of our former track teams. Although finding it difficult to secure a cinder lane large enough to ac- comodate the eager Hswiftiesv on board ship, Commander .lliner Lund brought the boys to shore at numerous intervals, to run about the town shocking mothers and children from the streets. Forming the nucleus of this year's squad are lettermen Captain Gene l-larshman and two-year letter winner, jerry Shafer. A part of the com- pleting squad are: Muzi Clark, hurdlesg Ken Quilling, half-mileg jerry Schultz, discusg Pork Schneider, shot putg Bob Frank and Fred Raasch, imported from Merrillang plus many new mileg and Bob Onstad, dash man faces who may develop into first class tracksters.
