Vernon Hunter coached these coming Eagles and layed a foundation upon which Coach Watts will have to build the finished structure. The fire and over-enthusiasm should be considerably cooled off by next fall and help provide an open battle for Dick Warner, Lee Warner, Bill Davies, Floyd Trimble and the rest of the team mates to win a position on the main string, Whatever the outcome will be, whoever will receive the promotion, one thing is sure: ten to twelve men will be on hand for critical inspection. Losing two games, one against Beaver, the other against Delta, the coming-ups remained, nevertheless, on top of the league. Their victories-twice over Hinckley and once each over Delta and Bea- ver-put them there.

Two of last year's hopeful talents left the coach holding the bag. Dean Whicker worked, while Gorman Day joined the navy. That left two lettermen, Ross Peterson, a regular, and Cecil George, a substitute. New talents had to be found and new talents were found . . . Huntsman and Beckstrand and Hanson worked themselves into starting positions and tried their hardest to brush off the lack of experience under fire which made the two lettermen stand out a mile ahead of them. By the end of the season this seemed to be almost accomplished. Highlights such as the two-overperiod games against Delta will verify this statement. Huntsman and Han- son, both juniors, should prove a valuable foundation upon which a new and mighty gang of hardwood floor artists might be built. Without a victory over Delta, the season appears rather empty: but then again, those who saw the super-duper, never-ending struggle with the Rabbits agree that the Eagles, hold- ing the short end of the score, won. nevertheless, a great moral victory against our district champion and representative in the state's championship play-off.

Programs are always set up in such a way that a balance is maintained between both activi- ties. Meeting the clif- ferent opponents in boxing consequently meant meeting them in wrestling too. This was the case in all in- stances with the ex- ception of our meet with East High when the Richiield Athletic Club supplied the boxers.
