TRACK As the book goes to press before track has started, very little can be said about the prospects for this year. Only one letter winner, Traul, is back from last year's lettermen. Parker will enter th e county meet at Mound City on April 26 and several other meets with near-by schools. Last year with only five boys participa ting in track, Parker finished fourth, but only a few points below second place. Calvin took first in the broad jump and 200 yard low hurdles, second in the 220 yard dash for a total of thirteen points which made him high point man of the meet. and 440 yard run and third in the broad jump Traul placed third in the half-mileg Logan, third in the high jump and took third in the 1 Blue Mound won the county meet with 465 553 Mound City took third place with a total to fourth place with 275.

Back rovr--Byerley, Hare, Light, Johnston, Stroup, J. froutman, and Davey. BASKETBALL Coach Jilka began the basketball season without a letterman. Four juniors and one senior made up the first team with two seniors as substitutes. After losing the first four games, Parker recovered and won four straight league games. These with two forfeits from Pleasanton gave us six wins and a third place ranking in the Linn County League standing. Prospects for finishing high in the league next year are good as Parker has only one regular graduating while all of the other County schools lose heavily from their first team. Parker's decisive victory over LaCygne was a big up set in the County and it was almost re- peated at LaCyg1e. This defeat for LaCygne kept them from tying with Pleasanton for first place. In the County tournament Hound City was victorious by a 15 point margin over Parker in the first round. Pleasanton was winner of the tournamentg Prescott, runner-up and LaCygne captured the consolation game. Parker entered the Fulton District Tournament two weeks later and went down to defeat in the first game to the tall,versati1e Uniontown team. Uniontown was defeated by Pleasanton in the finals by a score of 25 to 56. The following boys lettered :ln basketballzlieitel, Franse, Dalton and Delbert Troutman, Wright, Prentice and Davey.
