PENGRA Golf Team THIS years golf team has proved the best the Vikings have had lor many sea- sons, with three lettermen, Oren McDowell, Harry Carson, and Fritz Nicholls, playing again in the hrst three positions 3 the rest of the team in order of their ranking being: Bob Powell, Earl Ciustafson, and lN4e1vin Swish Groves. The matches scheduled with the Dalles, Parkrose, McMinnville, Corvallis, Eugene, Vancouver and Uregon City found the Salem divoteers on top, and if the boys win the other matches scheduled with lvlilwaukie and University high of Eugene, Coach Marshall Pengra will expect his squad to place well in the state tournament held at Eugene in May. Two graduating lettermen, Oren lVlcDowe11, 1936 captain, and Fritz Nicholls will be missing from next year's team. The fact that Salem high is well supplied with golfers who can hold their own in inter-scholastic competition was demonstrated when a second quintet of Viking golfers was pressed into service when the regulars were benched lor a short period. 101

LDONALDSON, lim' lvllo, Dfxvin l11o1v1PsoN, EIUN WA'1'fxNA1s1i Wrestling Team INCREASING in popularity year after year the Salem high wrestling squad was voted to be one of the SHS major sports this spring. Beginning with but a meager following, Coach Pat Hogue has developed the physical Contact sport to one of the school's most popular as is shown hy the seasons opening turnout of over seventy boys. After two successful years of possession of the state championship throne hy virtue of their victories in the state tourneys held here, the Viking squad met de- feat in its third attempt at the hands of the strong Benson Tech squad who repre- sented Portland. Coach Hogues men, however, with three state champions in their respective weights, Hnished in runner-up position. Larry Saito and David Thompson, hoth l935 titlists, were again crowned as state champs of their weights, while Willard Aker was the third Viking wrestler to take state honors. Saito, entering the northwest high school tournament at Camas, returned again unbeaten and northwest title holder in the 105 pound class. Coach Pat Hogue named some sixteen boys to receive awards, major letters for the first time, for their work throughout the season. Taul Watanabe, student manager, also will receive a letter for his efforts during the year. During the regular season meets were won from Sandy, Corvallis, Benson, Ca- mas, Chemawa, and Stadium high of Tacoma. Camas, Sandy, Chemawa, and Corvallis were beaten twice. The highlight of the season was the long trip taken hy the squad to Tacoma, Washington where Lincoln and Stadium high school squads were met on successive nights. The Vikings after a close defeat by Lincoln easily won from Stadium. The state tournament held early in March was conducted in a hne manner hy Coach Hogue and Vern Gilmore, acting as the official hosts of Salem high for the visiting squads. 90
