E 1b0W Lake BOYS' CLASS TOURNAMENT The boys' annual high school interclass tournament was held on April 3rd, 4th, and 5th, The first game was played between the Seniors and the Freshmen. The Seniors were victorious by a score of 18 to 13 This gave the Seniors the right to play the winners oi the Junior-Sophomore game for the championship. In the second game of the tournament the Sopho- mores defeated the Juniors by a score of 26 to 21. The consolation and championship games were play- ed on Friday night. The Juniors trounced the Fresh- men in the consolation game 45 to 7. The Sophomores defeated the Seniors 26 to 16 in a hard-fought battle to be declared the inter-class champions of 1940. PEWAN 1940 GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' basketball has been organized to arouse inter- est in athletics among girls. ln the school year of 1936-37, we, merely freshmen. enthusiastically joined the girls' basketball team. Through cooperation, we enjoyed immensely practis- ing an hour on every Tuesday and Thursday under the supervision of Miss Schendel. During the year 1937-38 each sophomore had made a resolution to win the tournament of that year. We strived hard for the championship but were defeated in the championship game, which the seniors won by a small margin of 25-20. We also played one prelim- inary game with the freshmen, losing by one point, the final score being 21-20. During 1938-39 only half of our squad came out for practices eliminating ug from the class tournaments. Having renewed interest a combined squad of Juni- ors and Seniors entered into the last year of our high school basketball, this time under the supervision of Miss Dahlberg. We all went out for practise and de- cided to play the best basketball possible. By good team work we were able to conquer the freshmen in a preliminary to a boys' game on January 22, by a score of 17-10. In a real combat with the sophomores, in the class tournaments, we were defeated by a 27-24 score. Our squad of 1939-40 was composed of the follow- ing: Forwards - Margaret Sanvik, Sr., Ardis Skog- lund, Sr., Sylvia Ramstad, Jr., Verna Landmark, Jr., and Eloise Hagen, Jr., Guards-Lilian Stadsvold, Sr., Vivian Amundson, Jr., and Alice Newberry, Jr.

1940 CHIPPEWAN CBASKETBALL CONTINUED! the year for our neighbors. According to loyal Star- buck fans we outplayed our rivals but when the final gong sounded Glenwood was on top by a 29-27 margin. The following week we entered the Sub-District tournament at the A-C gym in Morris. In a hard fought game we came out on top of Morris High by a score of 30 to 24. The Bucks were lucky in drawing a bye for the following night while Hancock and Alberta fought it out for a chance to meet Starbuck in the fin- als. On Friday night we squared off against Hancock and defeated them by a 30 to 22 score. Thus the Bucks brought home the championship trophy. Larson, Nod- land and Opheim were named on the Sub-District first team, while A. Berg was named on the second team. In our first game of the District tourney at Wheaton we steam-rolled over Chokio by a 53 to 25 margin. Larson broke the school's individual scoring record by bucketing 27 points. Breckenridge, our next foe, had been our target for the last two years and practically our entire town moved to Wheaton to see this clash. In spite of our moral support we got off to a bad start and were unable to dethrone the champs. Breck won 38 to 28. We were defeated by two points in the consola- tion game by Elbow Lake in a bitter battle. Brecken- ridge defeated Wheaton for the championship. Larson rated the District first team while Nodland was named on the second team. Breckenridge won the regional as well as the state tournament. The regulars won 17 out of 20 games for a season's percentage of .850. They scored 684 points for an av- erage of 34 points per game. The opponents scored a total of 445 points for an average of 22 points per game. Starbuck got 218 fouls to the opponents 201. The B Team won 15 out of 21 games for a percen- tage of .7l4. They scored 397 points, with an average of 19 points per game, to their opponent's 319 points, an average of 15 points per game. The following seniors made their farewell basketball bow in the district tournament: V. Larson, A. Berg, A. Brenden, and W. Hoium.

Chokio at Chokio Three home games. One out-of-town game. Football Summary The first day of the 1939-40 school term brought more than our usual lessons and subjects. Football was resumed after having a periord of four years rest. It was quite a different set-up, where only six men played. It was entirely new and different, six-man l'ootball. And so again a new football spirit was born among the athletes of Starbuck, all wondering how Starbuck would t'air with no experience at all among the enthusiastic players. Starbuck was one of the eight teams which belonged to the Little Eight league and was considered one of the strongest teams in it. One practice game was se- cured with Hoffman and from this game Coach Ny- gaard saw possibilities in having a strong team before the regular schedule started. Twenty men responded to Coach Nygaard's call They included A. Brenden, W. Hoium, V. Larson, Person, Henry Nodland, S. Aslakson, J. Moen, W. Nel- son, P. Samuelson, E. Brevig, R. Berens, J. Evans, O. Disrud, T. Hagert, E. Opheim, J. Erickson, O. Dahl- seng, A. Berg, C. Olson, and A. Sylvester. A captain was chosen before each game. The season's schedule of four games was the smallest ever scheduled in the history of the school. The seasonls most costly and only defeat came from Alberta. This setback deprived us of the championship of the League. The first weeks of the season were not at all en- couraging, as the squad consisted of a large group of new and inexperienced candidates, but as the season progressed a steady improvement could be seen in every game. Coach Nygaard developed a fast and fighting team which experienced defeat but once dur- ing the season. Continued on Followmg Page
