I 1, 4 5125.53-D? . ,elif 1 EARL VOSSEN, Coach Head man around the Athletic Department, and head basketball coach were the jobs of Earl Vossen this past year. Next year he takes on even more responsibility as he moves up to the office of vice principal and Dean of Boys, and attempts to hold down the two jobs he already has. Earl turned in a very creditable job of coach- ing this year, as he always does. From our standpoint the boys had a little too much polish and by mid-season were getting tired of playing.

But fared a little bet- ter in the Valley League as they tied Oakridge for second place. The Wolverines did a little better individually, by placing one man on the District Six All-Star team and one on the honorable mention. ln the Valley League Willamette placed two on the first team and one on the honorable mention. Gunnar Christiansen captured scoring honors in both the District Six race and the Valley League with 307 and 213 points respectively. Gunnar was a unan- imous choice for a forward spot on both the District and the Valley League All-Star teams. Along with Gunnar, LeRoy Wacker, sparkplug guard, made the first team in the Valley League and honorable men- tion list of the Valley League. Christiansen in 22 games this season scored a total of 436 points, l56 field goals, l24 free throws and a 19.8 game average.
