I 5 By defeating the freshmen 18 to 9 in a special play-off, the juniors became champions of the Intra- Mural basketball league sponsored by the Blue Key. The juniors won five and lost two games during the season. During the regular play-off the four teams played their opponents twice. Proof that this season’s com- petition was spirited, is shown by the fact that the juniors had but 112 points to their opponents’ 112. Early in the season the “forecast pail'' was neatly overturned when the freshmen beat the seniors 15 to 10. The fourth year team was the favorite to win. having taken the championship the year before as juniors. The sophomores were ousted from the running when the junior squad defeated them 32 to 29. The second year men made losing games their specialty. Junior and freshmen ended the regular schedule in a tie with four wins and two losses each. JUNIORS Back row: Lundstrom.

A one point loss started the team off badly and the squad was further saddened by a beating administered by the Sampter five and another one point defeat by the Kennard town team. Then the collegians pulled a surprise by upsetting the undefeated Columbus quint. After that they followed the victory with two more, spilling West Point and Sampters. These gave the Jayvees the required number of wins to place them in the high four play-off. In the championship flight. Mid- land again whipped Columbus under adverse predictions, but lost to Ken- nard and Arlington. This put the local squad in second rank. Laurence Zevitz received honor at the close of the season when he was named on the second all-star selec- tion. Louis Petersen was given honorable mention for his perform- ance at guard. Three Columbus men and two Arlington players made up the first all-star team. • Bj V row: Atiiilini Managrr Andtrton. Cady. Fuhrmritfrr. Obtrg. Thomttn. Coach l.awttnct From row: Zcritz. Btckcnhaorr.

THE 1933 WARRIOR TRACK IN 1932 With eleven veterans and nearly a score of new men. Coach Lawrence tutored the Warrior tracksters of 1932 through a successful season despite the fact that they did not outscore their opponents collectively. The few Warriors entered in the Hastings relays in early season failed to place, as did many Nebraskans. The Pittsburg Teachers from Kansas walked away with honors. Midland was defeated on its own cinderway by Wayne 66 to 65 in one of the state’s most sensational meets. Warrior speedsters and field men took but six of the 1 5 firsts but managed to snare most of the second and third places. Carlton finished first in the low hurdles and pole vault. Eck won the 100 and 220 yard dashes, Biffar took first in the shot put and the half mile relay team of Coe. Davis. Dahl and Eck. reputed to be one of the fastest in state college circles, won handily. Through BifFar’s first in the shot put. a similar feat by Barto in the discus. Wilson’s first place javelin cast and another win by the relay squad and a number of second, third and fourth places. Midland placed second to Doanc in a triangular meet between these two and York, held at Doane. For the fourth straight year. Hastings won the Nebraska College Athletic Conference title in track, with Doane, Wesleyan and Midland finishing in the order named. T he Warriors’ fourth came by virtue of two firsts. Lyman in the discus and BifTar in the shot, third places by Barto in the discus. Eck in the 440 and Elliot in the two mile run and a fourth by the relay team. Eck acted as track captain during the 1932 season. ❖ ❖ ❖ Back tow: Coach Lawrence. RohlSng. Soker. Hood. Fredttrom Second row: Schwartz. White. Elliot, Oberg. Lundtttom. Bromon.
