Sweeping through the South End for an- other decisive championship, Coach Marion Catron and his Viking Babes do it again, cap- turing the fifth south end crown in six years. Classified was the most skillful Baby Viking hoop squad to date, they score 206 points to their opponents' l l6. Eighteen straight wins include 6 confer- ence victories: Enumclaw, 3l to l6g Sumner, 32 to l6g Buckley, 43 to l2, Enumclaw, 28 to 93 Buckley, 35 to l l 3 and Sumner, 35 to 25. The only dark cloud on the Babes bright horizon is a loss to Renton February 26, when playing for the championship of Puget Sound. Holding the lead until the last minute, they lose by two points, 24-26, when the Papooses shove in a few sensationals. After sweeping clean the intramural class basketball and grabbing the crown, they lose a final casaba thriller to the senior high second team by a one-point margin. Creating the all-champ personnel of the junior high squad are: Galen Hoover and Harold Rodvelt, forwards, Gail Bruce, center, and Bill Calligan and Yukio Takeuchi, guards. Running up a total of 68 points in the six conference Gail Bruce, holdover from last year's squad. is the individual scoring leader and outstanding player. Bill Calligan, tricky and elusive dribbler, is another hold- over. Letterwinners besides the starting five are Claude Nlulkins, Eugene Quinlan and Marion Lundrigan, while Nix manages the cham- pion squad. jiqngw
