B ill Lantaff Membership in this organization is limited to those men who earn a letter award in one of the major sports of the College. To become a member of this club is a worthy ambition of every would-be athlete. Last year, as a special stunt to raise funds for the purchasing of athletic awards of the letter winners, the football squad put on an intra-squad game on Memorial Day afternoon on the College field. The squad was divided as evenly as possible into c'Maroon and Gold', teams by the coaches, and a very well-played game resulted in a 7-6 victory for the L'Maroons. Coach Crayne put on a kicking demonstration at the half, and uBucky Wolters and Roy Speece, co-captains of the 1939 team. put on a blocking exhibition also. The game was well attended, and the proceeds helped out considerably in its expected aid to the boys.

Intramurals The intramural basketball tournament was played in an elimination style with the TKOTBR lTen Knights of the Bar liooml emerging vic- torious by a score of 30-22 over the nPanthers.,' Comprising this cham- pionship team were Norman Knosp, Lawrence Kurth, James Bogenrief. Elmer Stapher, Warren Mugler. Waldo Hahn. Clarence Hibma. Wilbur Fatka, Harold Halder, and Noel Jones. Norman Knosp sparked his team with 15 points to lead in individual scoring, while Lantaff scored eight points to pace the losers in the championship game. Ping Pong For the benefit of those students who were interested in ping pong as a recreation, a tournament was held this year in the gymnasium. Both a singles and doubles division of an elimination tournament were carried through. The 'tchampn of the singles was Elmer Stapher who defeated George Kramer in a close match. The doubles division was won by Elmer Stapher who teamed with Don Sweeney to defeat Schuler and Jessup in the finals. Golf For the first time in the history of the school, there was a golf team to represent Western Union College. This team consisted of Bob Rose- berry, Charles Honnold, ,lim Bowers, and Richard Bowers, all of LeMars. Two matches were scheduled with Morningside. To cap the season there was held an invitational golf tournament at the LeMars course which saw such teams as Trinity of Sioux City, Wayne Teachers, Morningside. and Western Union College entered. Trinity College captured the trophy, but Western Unionis uChuck Honnold carried away individual scoring hon- ors with a low 161. The team this year will be composed of Bob Roseberry, Charles Hon- nold, Ross Pauli, and Don Brangwin. Several matches have been sched- uled including a match with Morningside to be held here on April 28. It is hoped that an invitational tournament can be scheduled again as last year, for it proved a success despite the fact that it was played in the rain.
