FOOTBALL The season opened September 16, 1938, with a game at Mossyrock. The team vvasn't as strong as it has been due to Bill Cahill's broken collar bone, but they did well under Coach Horn, winning two of the eight games played. Games played outside of the league were with Nlossyrock, Ilwaco, Centralia 4'lr3'7 team, and Castle rock. Out of the sixteen lettermen, seven are graduating seniors. They are: Joe Ruffino, who received his third letter, George Anderson, Charles Clodius, and Theo Harding, receiving their second letters, Neil Theriault, Dale Wheelei', and Ed Brant, receiving their first letters. The remaining lettermen are: VVilfrerl Saunders and Bill Cahill, with third year letters, Dilge Miller, Gordon Klatush, Jack VValters, Vernon Alfredson, Buster Norkoski, Charles Shaeffer, and Dick Yandervort, all receiving first year letters. VVilfred Saunders was elected captain of the team. The season was closed November 11, 1938 with a close game at Rochester. lf it had not been for an illegal ruling by the referee Cwhich he corrected during the half when it was too latej, the story might have been different. Inasmuch, however, as we expect to have a strong team next year, we antici- pate an exciting and successful football season for next fall. Page Twenty

BASKETBALL Our basketball team had a very successful year. VVe started out right by winning our share of the non-league practice games, so that by the time the league season opened the boys were playing in top form. During Christmas vacation the team took part in an invitation meet at Castle Rock. lt rather looked as if we should win all eight of the league games, since we came up to the last game with our ancient enemy, Rochester, with seven straight wins. The jinx began to ride us there, though, for Captain Saunders, the uspark plugv, was ill and unable to play that night, and we suffered our first defeat in league play. VVe had easily won the championship of our league, however, and were thus entitled to a participancy in the semi-finals. Even though the boys were still suffering from sickness we lost the first game to hflorton Cwho afterwards went on to win the meetj by only three points. Vile have a number of strong, young players coming up for next year, and we shall lose only two by graduation, so that prospects for a good season next year look very bright.
