The Cascade C. L. Ward Athletic Director This is Coach Ward’s second year at S. P. C. In his college days he starred in baseball and track at the Oregon State Normal. TENNIS I NTEREST in tennis as a major spring sport at S. P. C. is becoming keener every year. The College is turning out players that can hold their own in the best of tennis circles. The annual men’s singles elimination tournament is now getting under way. Lloyd Vincent, twice holder of the single’s trophy, is again in school. He will make it interesting for those challenging his crown. However, a number of ranking tennis players are on the campus this spring and the competition is certain to be keen. Besides the men’s singles, tournaments are scheduled for ladies’ singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles. BASKETBALL T HE basketball tournament of 1927 ' 28 was one of the most thrilling in years. A factor largely responsible for the success of the tournament was the Club plan of organisation. The student body was divided into three Clubs. Club No. 1, known as the Crows, was composed of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior men. Club No. 2, otherwise known as the Vikings, was composed of College Freshmen and Preparatory Seniors. Club No. 3, which answered to the call of Wolverines, was made up of Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Preparatory stars. Each of the three Clubs entered strong teams in the first and second team tournaments. The Wolverines started the season with a rush and obtained an early lead. The Crows, however, after a slow start, came to life and displayed a brand of ball that brought them the title in both divisions. As a result of their double wins the Crows were presented the beautiful new Glen E. Carlson basketball trophy. Page Forty
