Neimen With but three veterans returnina from the '41 ESD conference championship team the '42 Kernel basketball exponents prepared for a touah season which crept out of medif ocrity into a comparative success. A schedule of 12 games faced the Ker- nels who won six of these tilts and lost six. Kernel victories this year carrie over Sioux Falls, Yankton, Broolcinqs, Watertown, and two with Madison. Their losses fell in the hands of Sioux Falls, Yankton, two with Huron, and two with Aberdeen. Traveling to the new type double elim- ination tournament held March 13, at Huron, the Kernels defeated Pierre and Winner to advance with 1-luron to the state class 'A' meet at Aberdeen, March 20 and 21. For the third successive year Quintal- men drew Sioux Falls as first opponents in the state classic. The Kernels lost their first aarne to the Warriors but went into the con- solation race to defeat Watertown in the semifinals and Aberdeen in the finals to an next the consolation championship.

Kernel trackmen pictured on these pages show their speed as they competed in the regional and invitational meets Arrowy Trackmen Participate A schedule of six meets met the 80 young men who reported to Coach Quintal the first few days in April to prepare for an early season. Accepting the invitation to the Pierre re- lays, April l9, a first in the sprint medley, third in the 88-yard relay, and second in the mile relay, gave the track hopefuls an out- look for a successful year. April 23 the Kernels again took to the field, journeying to the Aberdeen relays. Mitchell entered but few events, yet returned with second in the mile relay and third in the high hurdles. Personal singularity again forged to the front when on May 2, the thinclads traveled to the Dakota relays, where a score of high schools and colleges met for this annual event, and nabbed a second in the broad jump, fourth in the mile run, and fifth in the sprint medley. With half the season completed, MHS fieldmen looked toward copping laurels in the regional meet held annually in Mitchell. But, for the first time in the past 15 years, Kernel power proved futile for Letcher high school took first place leaving MHS a low second. held at Mitchell
