 W 'V«7 ftTBLGTICS Football S. N. S. Schedule. c s N. S - 0 0 S. N. S 0 River Falls . 58 s. N. S. 12 12 s. N. S. 12 Eau Claire 0 After several weeks of hard luck playing and poor coaching. Gerald Doonan was hired to coach the team, which he soon rounded into good shape. After Doonan took charge of the team we did not lose a game. We tied the strong Stevens Point team and ended the season by defeating the Eau Claire Normal. 12 to 0. The hoys did well considering the conditions under which they worked. Captain Larson was always on the job and much credit is due him for the line record which the hoys made. McQuirk was the shining light of the season. He made two touchdowns against the Stevens Point team. Weiss did consistent work all year. Waldc. who is a new man at football, showed signs of becoming a great player on account of his natural speed and aggressiveness. Track Team of 1917 Squad: Shaw, capt.; Donalds. Livingstone. Dopp. Moore, Joppa. Potter. Diffor. Morrill. The track season of 1917 opened with two veterans back. Donalds and Shaw. After the boys had done several weeks of work. George Jarvis from Grinncll College, Iowa, was employed to coach the team. The first meet was with the Dcnfcld High of Duluth nnd the Normal won by a large score. The second meet of the year was with Superior High and the team, although crippled by the loss of several of its men, won easily. The Normal track meet, which was scheduled, was called ofT and through the persistent work of the coach two men were entered in the Hlg Nine Conference moot at Chicago on June 9. Shaw and Donalds went to the meet and both did very enviable work. This Is the second team the Superior Normal has ever had and it is evident that with a good coach it can turn out fine teams. The fact that the team did so well is on account of the splendid coaching. Donalds and Shaw were the stars of the year. Donalds winning individual honors in the Denfeld meets and Shaw did the same in the Superior High meet. Donalds won 26 points for the two meets and Shaw won 28. Basket Ball The basket ball team accomplished wonders this year when we stop to consider that the team did not have a gym of their own. The boys were defeated by two Normals; the Superior team stands third in the northern half of the Normal conference. An arrangement was made with the Y. M. C. A. early In the year so that the team could use the gym during the hours from 6 to 7 o’clock. A great deal of credit is due to Coach Herman I . Uicbe and Captain George W. ’ 28

Moore. Mr. Kiebe Is one of the best coaches in the northwest. He conics from the Central Y. M. C. A. in Chicago and was a star in all branches of athletics at that institution. George Moore proved to be the best possible man for captain that the team could have. He succeeded in keeping the boys out and was a very enthusiastic worker himself. William Horst. Stewart McKinnon and Albert Craik proved to be the best and most consistent players on the team. These boys are fast and clean and we expect to see them a shining light in the basket ball world of the future. Craik had the misfortune to contract blood-poisoning in the middle of the year and his loss was felt severely by the team. Girls’ Athletics Hats off to the girls of 1918! They have revived a dead institution— girl’s athletics. School patriotism, PEP, and Miss Clark are the words which most vividly describe their doings. They have worked against many handicaps—lost interest, no gym, etc. Nevertheless, certain definite things have been accomplished. A Girl’s Athletic Association has been organized. The purpose of this club is to furnish initiative for all forms of girl’s athletics. The officers are: Piesident ....... Florence Wnldc Vice President ....... Grace O’Hora Secretary and Treasurer . . Isabel McDunnough Representative for Student Board of Control Mary Hiie Can the girls play basket ball? Well, I guess they can! Just ask Mr. Smith. After weeks of strenuous practice, an open game was held April 4th, 1918, in the High School gym. The four teams (Red, Black, Green, and Orange) responded with a vigor and vim which surprised the crowd of spectators. Plans have been made for baseball and tennis and it is hoped that next year these and others will become a permanent part of the girl’s athletic program. Lack of equipment has stopped the progress this year, but with the help of the new gym the year 1918-19 ought to be a lively year for the girls. :io
