By winning this contest, Midland dropped the curtain on its N. C. A. C. season with a record of seven victories in eight games and 273 points to their opponents’ 167. This championship also gave to Coach Karl Lawrence, Center Garnie Davis and Forward Rickey Wilson a perfect championship record for their four years at Midland. During that time the Warriors have won 36 of 40 conference contests. No less than six of this year’s N. C. A. C. records dropped into the Warriors’ medicine bag in their championship run. Davis was responsible for three of the records, his 32 field goals and 22 free throws for an 86-point total sweeping individual scoring records. Midland also took first place in team scoring with 273 points and in team field goal making with 112. She was the only league team holding its opponents to less than 200 points. Pane 72

QUEEN OF THE GRIDIRON Estclla Losekc was crowned queen of the gridiron for 1933 in an impres- sive ceremony held before an audience of dads, alumni, students and faculty at the chapel hour November 3. Heralded by a flourish of trumpets played by Walter Olsen and Leslie Marks, the regal procession moved toward the platform in two lines headed by the Warriorettes and Tomahawks, pep societies, in colorful orange and black outfits. Following on one side were the four class presidents, John Anderson, Ellen Servine, Gray Bream and Emery Hoenshell, with Richard Wilson, Stu- dent Council head. In the other line was Miss Loseke followed by the other “M” club nominees, Mary Idalene Anderson, Marie Schuldt and Clara Hensel with Ervin Engel, “M” club president. Harrison Elmore and Francis Weihe, cheerleaders, completed the procession to the throne. After the coronation party was grouped on the green semi-circular plat- form, Engel explained the grid queen tradition. Nominees for the honor are chosen by members of the “M” club which annually sponsors the ceremony. Midland students vote on the nominees. The co-ed receiving the most votes is named queen anti the others become attendants. Wilson gave the proclamation and crowned the queen who was presented with a bouquet of orange chrysanthemums. As she was escorted to the throne, the group sang the Midland pep song. This is the fourth year of the celebration of the coronation. Lorraine Lovgren, Elfrida Petersen and Dorothy Kusel were chosen queens in 1930, ’31 and ’32 respectively. THE WARRIOR Page 7'

SEASON SUMMARY OF “THE REPEATERS After a long trip into South Dakota, the Warriors dropped a close game to Sioux Falls college. The score changed often, hut the Warriors were un- able to overcome the lead that the Dakotans piled up in the first quarter. Only two veterans, Davis and Wilson, were in the line-up. However, the team showed spurts of that machine-like precision of later games. The second day of the tour also proved disastrous to the Warriors. The Wayne Teachers used a slow opening, fast breaking offense to keep the Mid- landers on the defensive most of the time. Sioux Falls then came to Fremont and spoiled a Lawrence record. No team had defeated Midland twice in the same season during his four years in the Warrior camp. Using the same style of game they had presented in the first encounter, the Dakotans dropped enough goals to win, although the fighting Warriors were close on their heels during the whole tilt. Then Wayne returned the Warriors’ visit, but three defeats were enough. All of that pent-up Midland fight was not to be denied. With Little Joe, Davis and Wilson in leading roles, the Warriors out-smarted and out-sped their larger and slower opponents to win handily. In their initial N. C. A. C. game, the Warriors looked like the champions they arc. Hastings played them about even for the first ten minutes, but with Kounovsky and Wilson hitting regularly, the Warriors soon drew to a comfortable lead. Midland was too fast, too smooth and too well coached for the Doane cagers. The Warriors were away to a six-point lead in the first two minutes of play, and were never headed. Davis racked up counters almost at will, making 14 points. A much heralded Diamond Oiler team received their worst score in the local camp. Midland tore into the Oilers and gained a 15 to 12 lead at the half, and only the efforts of Tall Tom Picked, All-American, saved the team from defeat with a last minute basket. The largest score of the season was piled against York on the Fremont maples. During the last half, subs coasted to victory. THE WARRIOR Pone 73
