Well, You Can’t Win ’Em All With the loss of seventeen lettermen due to graduation and the return of only “ 1W' regu- lars (Ken Kempfert on the of fense and defense, Denis Zueg on defense), the Cardinal football team was expected to do little in a tough South- west Conference. The gridders ended the season 0-8-1, no sur- prise for the pre-season forecasters. But, with the exception of several games with extremely excellent teams, the Cards fought hard and more than once were near victory, at Luverne, a scoreless half turned into defeat on a lone punt return that went all the way to paydirt. At Worthington, the Card defense couldn’t cope with the Trojans offensive machine, but the Card passing attack earned much respect with two touchdowns passed and another which was converted into a touchdown. When the time for post-season honors rolled around, Denis Zeug, RMIS co-captain, swept Most Valuable Offensive, Defensive and All- Around Player. Along with these awards, the scrappN halfback won All-District Ten and All-Southwest Conference honors.

FRON'I ROW: Jerry Ahrens. Sieve Melges, Ricardo Petry, Ivar Kaardal. SECOND ROW: Mr. Scholl, coach; David Block, Rick Schlapkohl, Paul Schell. Petry Enters State Ricardo Petry, AFS student, was a valuable addition to the tennis team. Ricardo advanced to state competition. The 1966 tennis team became the most successful team during the school year and the most victorious in RFHS tennis history. Coached by Mr. Scholl, the team was undefeated at the end of the regular sea- son and was destined to win even greater glory. At the District 10 tournament in New Ulm, RFHS came out on top and brought home its first trophy. Ricardo Petry, however, as number one in the dis- trict, was the only man to qualify for the Region 3 tournament at Hutchinson. Throughout the season Ricardo had never lost a set—everyone was backing him. On June 3, the day of Commencement, Ri- cardo single-handedly attained a first place tie for Redwood with Glencoe. Still the “team” was unde- feated. In the state tournament, however, Ricardo suf- fered his first losses and missed that trophy. It was a great year for tennis, though, and not a bad year for Brazilians either. 22
