With ten returning Iettermen and a fine batch of younger recruits, the team had only a fair season, due to the many iniuries which occurred throughout the season. In their first encounter of the season Wilson out- ran the Monroe Green Wave, 14 to 6.sMelbostad scored on a 15 yard iaunt early in the first quarter, after a team surge of 65 yards. Gove and lundquist converted for the extra point. The half time score found Monroe trailing 7-6. Before the final buzzer rang, the fine scoring dual of Melbostad and Arent had scared again, with Gove adding the extra point. The Redmen lost the second game they played in a tough fought battle, to a highly-touted team from Harding, 14-6. Wilson put on a very aggres- sive defensive show under the shadows of their own goal posts. Despite their terrific game and be- cause of pair of costly fumbles, the team was only able to score once, with Arent carrying. Wharton, Holum, and Hall spearheaded this defensive stand. A trumped up Wilson team, smarting from their first loss of the season, the week before, came back in the third quarter to go out in front of the Trainers by the slim margin of one point. Mechanics, with their great passer Don Todora, threatened to score on several occasions, but were stopped at the last minute by Wilson's brilliant defenseman. Sparking this beautifully played defensive game were Holum and Wharton. Marshall, with the great scoring combo of Dick and Bob Blakely, ruined the title hopes of the Wilson eleven by winning 14 to 7. The Grey Hounds held the reins practically throughout the game with the exception of one long drive which was stimulated by reserve Don Gehrman and Rog Arent. Arent drove the last few yards for pay dirt and Gove con- verted for the extra point. The gala homecoming festivities at Wilson were sprung into a fatal ending by the loss of 34-14 at the hands of the highly-charged Murray Pilots. The Redmen were iust too outclassed by the speedy and shifty Pilot backfield and also were lacking in line Herb Mclntosh, Al Kasid, and Rog Lang- mark move in for the kill. weight. The halftime score found Wilson on the tail end of a 28 to 0 score. The second half was differ- ent with Wilson outscoring Murray 14 to 6, Bruce Rassmussen accounted forthe first score with a nine yard run through right tackle. The second was the reward of a 65-yard drive with Arent furnishing the last six yards. Half back Rassmussen and tackle Buzz Sharp played a stand out game. Wilson iust didn't have it, it understood to mean adequate speed and power to counteract the twin city champs, Johnson. The Governors scored two hard and fast and at half time the score was 27 to 7 with the lone score of Wilson by Wharton's run of 7 yards and Gove's conversion. The ball had iust rang to begin the third quarter when Johnson had earned its 34th point. It was indeed a miserable night for Fitz, but in the waning moments Gil Gove scampered 7 yards to a TD, his kick after touchdown was good. Pep Hall, Don Holum, Al Kasid and Sophomore Larry Goodman played a ter- rific game on both defense and offense. Minus Coach Fitzharris and 8 players, two of whom were regulars, were nursing their bumps and bruises, mixed in with the flu lost to Central 13 to 0. The Minutemen scores came in the second and third quarters respectively. Wilson led by assistant Coach George Janisch played fine ball with Holum, Kasid and Melbostad standouts in their respective positions. Inspired Wilson Wins Over Challenger Humboldt was read in the papers after the Wilson-Humboldt tilt. The Wilson team dominated by the outgoing seniors showed many qualities which were unseen in the previous games. A Wharton to Kasid pass en- titled Kasid to romp 50 yards for a TD, Gove con- verting. Swivel-hipped halfback Bud Wharton, who was out most of the season with a iniury, was able to play and used his talent by scampering for two touchdowns, one 50 yards, the other 16. Seniors who spearheaded the attack were Wharton, Holum, Rog Langmack, Hall and Mclntosh.

Roger Arent with his vicious rebounding and Melbostad with some long range shooting were the standouts of the game. lWASHlNGTONl The second game was a pre-va- cation tilt with Washington, in which Wilson lacked defensive rebounding, hustle and offensively missed several lay-ups which gave them more than enough to win. Melbostad, Gove, and Winger spear-headed the attack by collecting 26 of the 34 points be- tween them. lMONROEl Wilson's fouls gave the Redmen their third loss in the conference standing. For the first time this season a man to man defense was used, but it had a fatal ending with Gove, Arent, Mel- bostad fouling out. The point getters were Mel- bostad with ll and Winger with 12. lHUMBOLDTl Wilson, smarting first three starts, played a stand-out game by whip- ping Humbolt 47-31. The Redmen outplayed the ln- dians in every phase of basketball with Kasid and Gove controlling the backboards beautifully and Arent, Melbostad, and Winger compiling 40 of the 47 points. lMURRAYl With only one win under their belts out losses from their of the first four games, the Wilson quintet played a see-saw game against Murray for the first three quar- ters. Then in the final period the pilots outscored the Redmen, to go out in front by fifteen points before the game ended. The first half ended with Wilson trailing by two points, but at the final buzzer the score stood at 56-41 for Murray. lJOHNSONl Johnson was edged by Wilson in a game which could have gone either way at any point of the game, 37-35. Melbostad maintained his I2 point per game average which is well up with the individual scorers. In this tilt Wilson upset any thoughts Johnson had of getting in the dis- tricts, in which the Governors had four consecutive wins. Besides Melbostad, Kasid, Gove, Winger, Go- rans, and Rubbelke played excellent parts in this upset. IMARSHALLJ City Champions Marshall literally trounced the Redmen in a one sided battle 53 to 23. The Greyhounds personnel and scoring ability were the main factors in the upset. Buzz Winger, ace cen- ter, played a standout game even though his play was limited because of an ailing ankle. lMECHANIC ARTSl Wilson lost to championship runner-up Mechanics Arts in their final game 45-39. The Redmen played a terrific game with the loss of center Buzz Winger who was nursing an iniured ankle. The top point getters of the night were Gil Gove and Larry Melbostad. The team trailed by only one point in the waning moments but a final Train- er surge proved fatal. Rog Arent and Al Kasid each tally for two points against Monroe while Buzz W'inger stands by for rebounding. 1. ill'-' Capbts H ,alias Wmgbiis Z. 86556 T the Coach T lioaftofl ove Bud Wsensonl ol we l l HOCKEY The Wilson pucksters gaining in spirit what they lacked in ability came through the season with four wins, four losses and one tie. Coach Tom Jesson guided his team to fifth place in the conference standing, and sent his sextet into the District Fifteen play- offs only to lose to the highly charged Harding squad, 5 to 2. Nevertheless, they copped the consolation prize for the second straight year by downing Mechanic Arts, 6 to i. The top individual scoring title went to Carl Weber of Humboldt, with our own Bud Wharton ranging seventh with nine goals and three assists. Other Wilsonites who rated high in the individual scoring were Buzz Sharp and Paul Arntzen, Buzz with 5 goals and 3 assists, a shade above PauI's 3 goals and four assists. The gradu- ating class will take six seniors, Bud Whar- ton, Paul Arntzen, Don Holum, Marve Ball- ard, Hartley Reed and Pep Hall, these play- ers have been playing together the last two years at Wilson and take a good share of the backbone of the team.
