Wednesday, March 10, the Senior boys were defeated by the Sophomore boys 22-20. On March 11 the Freshmen defeated the Juniors 40-28. In the championship game the lead was shifting from the Freshmen to the Sophomores with the final score end- ing Freshmen 54-Sophomores 49. The consolation was won by the Seniors over the Juniors 26-22. The Freshmen were crowned class champions, the Sophomores runners-up, and the Seniors winners of the consolation game for third place. lgii GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' basketball has been organized to stimulate an interest in athletic sports among girls giving them an opportunity to earn monograms and letters. In the year of 1939-40 we, as Freshmen, enthusiasti- cally joined the girls' basketball team. We practiced twice a week under the supervision of Miss Dahlberg. In the tournament we defeated the Sophomores and came out inter-class champions. Encouraged by the result of the previous tourna- ment we resolved to win again in our Sophomore year. We were defeated by the Juniors by the score of 16-15. Coached by Miss Cameron, the tournaments in 1941- 42 found us defeating the Seniors by the score of 22-7. We then took on the Sophomores defeating them for our second championship. During this, our Senior year, we were determined to win. We defeated the Freshmen by the score of 24-9. We then played a hard-fighting Sophomore team de- feating them 32-13. 1193

Front rcw-Coach H. B. Meyer, Harris Larson, Onan Thompson, Teddy Ross, captain, Claremont Pederson, Donald Hagen. Completion of a successful football season brought forth a call by Coach Meyers for representatives of the Starbuck High School hoopsters, that was answer- ed by many competitors including lettermen-Ell- wood Wollan, Claremont Pederson, Donald Hagen, Teddy Ross and Onan Thompson. Ellwood Wollan and Teddy Ross were chosen co-captains by the rest of the squad. November 25 was the first game for the new squad that was to be sent against Cyrus. Cyrus won this close game 17-19. The team travelled to Elbow Lake December 14th to be stopped by one of the worst defeats Starbuck has faced for many years. The Lakers' fast breaking club totaled a score of 53 to the Bucks total of 13. The following Friday, Benson entered the Starbuck gym to go home with an easy victory of 46-16. During the Christmas vaction the 15th annual alumni game resulted in a defeat for the high school lads, the final score being 39-17. Through the last 15 years the alumni have won 9 games and the Bucks have won 6 games. The first game after Christmas vacation was a de- teat for the Bucks by the boys from Hancock by a score of 42-27. The Bucks ventured over to Cyrus to win the first game of the season by the score of 18-16. January 20 found the Glenwood quint walking away with another victory over Starbuck by the score of 43-17. 1 18 The Starbuck Basketeers journeyed to Alberta to a game that appeared until the third quarter as a pos- sible victory for Starbuck, but after the half the Blue Jays came out with a fast break that proved fatal to the Bucks. The final score was 48-28. Benson contributed another game to the Starbuck loss column by defeating the Bucks 52-14. Elbow Lake invaded the Starbuck gym defeating the Bucks by 52 points, the score being 69 to 17. February 9 the Bucks again met the Hancock lads who again proved death to the Starbuck boys as the Hancock club ran up a score of 46 to the Buck's 24. The last three games between Morris, Alberta, and Glenwood proved the same as before: Morris 47-26, Alberta 59-28 and Glenwood 65-13. On January 20 the Starbuck B team defeated the Villard A by the score of 12-16. The first game of the sub-district was dropped to Morris in the Morris gym by the score of 65-21. The Bucks won 1 out of 13 games for a percentage of .076. They scored 258 points for an average of 19.8 points, against their opponents 605 points for an av- erage of 46.5 points per game. Onan Thompson, Teddy Ross, Claremont Pederson, Harris Larson, and Ellwood Wollan finished their high school basketball careers. We, the graduating members of the squad, wish to express our thanks to Mr. Meyer and the rest of the squad for cooperation shown during the season and to wish them the best of luck for the 1943-44 season. l

Qlwippe-Wm - ,s1.1,.+.... L M- O IQ 43 Sho-Man 4 194.2 Back row-Coach H. B. Meyer, Teddy Ross, Ernest Ranum, Chester Olsen, Ellsworth Thompson, Ellwood Wollan, May- rard Dahlseng. Front row-Norman Benson, Jerome Otteson, Harold Ran- um, Arnold Danielson, Harris Larson. Handicapped by one week of practice the local foot- ball gridders began their 1942 campaign at Alberta. Six lettermen returned, namely, Chester Olsen, Ells- worth Thompson, Ernest Ranum, Maynard Dahlseng, Teddy Ross, Ellwood Wollan and Harris Larson. Al- though there was a letterman for every position re- placements were few and even the starting lineup was lacking in experience. Graduation of last year's entire backfield left our backfeild of unknown strength. Fif- teen candidates reported for practice to H. B. Meyer, our new coach. Chester Olsen and Ellsworth Thompson were elected co-captains of the team. ALBERTA 38s STARBUCK 29 Under threatening clouds the Bucks dropped anchor for their first entanglement of the season on the grid- iron of the Alberta High School. The game was play- ed under the most adverse weather conditions, with cold rain falling from kickoff to final whistle. Unable to pass or gain consistently through the heavy Alberta line the Maroon and Gold had to resort to speed which was cut down considerably by the muddy field. The entire team played well and kept the game close with their never say die spirit. Wollan and Dahlseng ac- counted for the scores. ASHBY 0: STARBUCK 13 On October 6 the Bucks brought their won-lost led- ger to a balance by defeating a rangy Ashby team by a score of 13 to 0. All the scoring was done in the first half with Wollan and Dahlseng going over. After the first touchdown a short pass resulted in a conversion: the second attempt failed. The tough Starbuck de- fense proved too much of an obstacle for the Ashby six to score upon although they had the Bucks befuddled several times with a foxy reverse. ASI-IBY 7: STARBUCK 54 On October 13 the Starbuck team made their first home appearance winning a decisive victory over the same Ashby team. In this game we had the misfor- tune of losing our fullback, Maynard Dahlseng, due to a leg injury in the first minute of play disabling him for the remaining part of the season. The Bucks took the lead in the first quarter and never relin- quished it. Norman Benson, in at end to replace the injured Dahlseng, did not weaken the line play in any respect. The entire second team started the third quarter and played most of the remainder of the game. BELGRADE 18: STARBUCK 44 In October the Bucks completed a four-game sea- son by trouncing Belgrade 44 to 18 at Belgrade. This victory made it three straight. The only loss was to Alberta on a wet, rainy field. This is the only school which has ever defeated any Starbuck 6-man team. Completing their High School careers were Ches- ter Olsen, Ellsworth Thompson, Ernest Ranum, Ted- dy Ross, Harris Larson, Harold Ranum, Arnold Dan- ielson, Norman Benson and Ellwood Wollan. All played sterling ball during the season and the loss will be keenly felt next year. We Seniors who will play no more football for Starbuck High School extend to further teams our test wishes for success. C205
