They also took the measure of Augusta 6 to 2 and 6 to 3. The seven- th and eighth grade won from their seventh-eighth grade team twice.

The Newton Railers finished first with a 7-1 standing be- ing beaten only by the Vikings. The Vikings played a 10-game sched- ule playing two games with Ponca City and eight in the Ark Valley League.

More than once theVikings were nearly good enough but not quite. Six of the eight games were battles which could have gone either Way. Against East the Vikings were trailing by six points with only two minutes to play. How the Aces ran wild in those last two minutes is told in the final score. At Newton the score stood 0 to 0 with two minutes left in the game when it happened again. Other games were equally close as the scores show. If Coach Merle McCoy's charges continue to show the improvement they have in the past, next season should see the close ones going our way. Coach McCoy was assisted by B. M. Staerkel and Joe Manatowa.

The cindermen journeyed to Chilocco to participate in a pre-season triangular meet. Ark City placed first, and Chilocco beat Winfield by one point to place second. The Wichita U. Invitation was the second meet on the Vikings' schedule. The point makers were Clifton Edens who won first in the discus, and Howard Faust, third, in the 440-yard dash. On Apr. 16-17 the track men attended the Kansas University Relays where the Vikings placed twelfth out of the 24 schools entered. Clifton Edens placed second in the discus, and Howard Faust, third in the 440-yard dash to score the Vikings' points. The following week the Vikings traveled to the Hutchinson Relays.

Coad won the singles crown at the Hutchinson Invitational while Williams and Don Allison copped the doubles title. The same combination was used in the Ark Valley tourney with the same winning results. In the qualifying tournament for the state held at Independence, Williams and Coad won the doubles, and Allison won second in singles. These boys qualified for the state meet at Topeka. The Viking team defeated Ark City twice, 9-0, 7-2, Wichita North, 7-0, Wichita East, 9-0, Hutch- inson, 8-1 and Ponca City, 9-0.

M. Staerkel as coach were coming along fast after a slow start and promised to end the season with a com- mendable record. After dropping their first three games, the Vikings flashed a sudden reversal of form that saw them win their next three out of four contests. As this is being written the Vikings have several con- tests yet to play. They stand a good chance of finishing the season in third place in the Ark Valley league depending on the outcome of games yet to be played.

Wrestling The Winfield Viking wrestling team coached by Lauren Warford completed its 1947-1948 sea- son winning four matches and losing five. The matmen in their matches this year have proved that wrestling is an up-and-coming sport in WHS. Kenneth Hovey, Jimmy Fritzlen, and Jerry Harris were seniors on the team. At the state meet Irvin Harris and Wayne Asbury placed fourth in the state, and the Vikings placed ninth out of fourteen teams. The junior high had its first matches this year with Ponca City, and although they lost both times, the second match showed great improvement.
