BASKETBALL During the 1939-40 schedule, the Panthers under the capable hand of Coach Kenna won 12 out of 20 starts, a good showing for anybody's team. Several of the eight games lost were within 5 points, so you know the tough Panthers went down fighting. Although some of the boys graduate, the Panthers should put on the floor a good fast team next season. Center-Dan Kilgore scored 119 points and always managed to score for his team. Forward-William Hall scored 72 points, William was noted for his swiftness on fast breaks. Guard-Captain Chuck Hiatt scored 61 points, and was known for his clever ball handling. Forward-Elliott Kingsbury scored 53 points, Elliott with his good shooting could always be counted on when points were needed. Guard--Gene Damewood scored 44 points. Gene's aggressiveness on the backboard was an asset to our team. Guard-Dale Dorn scored 34 points. Dale's fakes made him outstanding on the floor. Forward-Bud McDonald scored 23 points. Bud will bear watching next year with his speed and aggressiveness. Center-Borden Beck scored 21 points. With his easy ball handling and clever shooting Borden will be a threat to any opponent's team. Forward-Gale Dorn scored 19 points. Gale with his smoothness and speed will be invaluable next year. guard-Bill Mayfield scored 10 points. Bill made a great showing this year following the back- boar . Ffuard-Chuck Sawyer scored 8 points. Chuck's skill on the floor helped the boys out of many a ho e. TRACK The Panther track team in the 1938-39 season placed second in the Redmond-Bend meet and, following that, third in the Bend Medley invitational meet. In the district meet the tough Panthers took second. Two members qualified for the state meet, Jesse Wilson and Meritt Hill. R. U. H. S. was represented by Sylvester Meigs, Clare Hyde and Jesse Wilson in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, in the 880 relay by Clare Hyde, Sylvester Meigs, Jesse Wilson and Mel Behymer, and in the hurdles by Clare Hyde. Also entered were: in the polevault, Philip Fleck and Meritt Hillg in the weights, shotput, javelin, and high jump, Dan Kilgore, in the javelin, Philip Fleck, in the mile, Earl Pedeng and in the half mile, John Susac. Mel Behymer ran the 440 yard run. The Panthers should put out a strong team next year, for only a few members were lost by graduation. TENNIS 1939 was a successful year for the tennis teams. Chuck Hiatt, Bud Williams, Borden Beck, Gale Dorn, and Don Houk, members of the boys' team, defeated Bend twice, won from Culver, and were defeated by Prineville. The girls, team, Dot Croghan, Dot Hodge, Norma Short, and Frankie Stephenson, won from Bend, and also defeated Prineville and Culver. The prospective players for the 1940 boys' team were Chuck Hiatt, Bud Williams, Borden Beck, Gale Dorn, Dale Dorn, Gene Gaston, and Don Houk. Most of these boys also will have another school year in which to show their tennis ability. The main candidates for the girls' 1940 team were Dot Croghan, Dot Hodge, Frankie Stephenson, Virginia Swendig, Terry Hubbard, and Myrtle Brown, who should make a good showing.
