A BASK K I BALL: BOX TOM ROW: Ken Kempfert, Steve Walling. Jim (.arson, Jim Lnabnit. Dale Kempfert, Charles Curtis, Kevin O leary. Brad Bcrberick. TOP ROW:]ctt Even- From Under The Hoops Left with only one returning starter, center Ken Kempfert, the Cardinals were inexperienced and were expected by many to have a dismal rec- ord. I he season was characterized by several one-point losses, which could have given the Cards a .500 plus record. Instead, the Redwood cagers finished the regular season with a 6-12 record, the same as the more experienced team of the previous year. For the most part, the Cards were strong in the first half but lost their zip in the final two periods. I he Cardinals, who displayed a starting line-up of f ive seniors, were led by co-captains Craig La- bel ee and Rick Schlapkohl. The team, coached by Bob Thompson, had a quite evenly balanced scoring attack with Kempfert, the leader with a 20 point average. I he Cardinal cagers met stiff resistance from the tough teams of Southwest Conference. They did win a favorable margin of their District I en tilts. The Cards bowed out with a 65-43 loss to Gib- bon in the district quarter-finals. 28 son. Bob Weimore.

Mr. Otterson, Phil Skellie, Charlie Curtis, Myron Guyer, Wetmore Goes To State Coach Bill Hollister was a bit pessimistic as the track season of his last year of coaching at RFHS began. With the majority of the team underclass- men, the Cardinals put forth their most. The Cards failed to take District, but managed to come in right behind first time winner Winthrop. The only winner was Bob Wetmore in the low hur- dles. In addition to Wetmore, Charlie Curtis in the 220-yard dash and Steve Jones in pole vault also entered in Region III competition. The only RFHS trackman to enter in state competition was sopho- more Bob Wetmore. In state competition, Bob tied the school record for low hurdles and place fifth in his heat. He failed to qualify for the finals. In action is sophomore Bob Wetmore who competed in the State meet. 30
