XVheeler and Assistant Coach Mason Longmire, the Tornadoes ended a successful season in the Pierce County B League which they joined because of better roads and a larger league. ln the first practice game Yelm defeated Tenino, 4241, but because of injuries, we lost to Elma, l2-0. Although the Tornatlos outplayed Kapowsin, they lost the hrst league game by a close score of 12-13, after Stewart broke through the line, in the last few minutes of the game, for several spectacular runs that threatened the losing SCUIE.

Basketball The Tornado basketball squad scarred with a bang. Thirty-six boys turned out and only two lettermen were in the group. A hard struggle followed to pick out a team and train them for a lot of hard com- petition. The squad was soon trimmed down to a reasonable number. But still these men were unexperienced and needed many hours of hard work to bring them into condition. Practice games were scheduled against equal schools and lost only by a close score. Their practice games extended into A league com- petition and although defeat was expected the new team gained valuable experience and never grumbled. Yelm continued to play in the Pierce County B League and lost every game. Because of the large local floor the Tornados were handi- capped when they played on the small fioors of the opponents. The proof of this was shown when the same teams defeated the local boys by a much smaller margin when they met in the Yelm Gymnasium. Twenty six Yelm always played hard and never gave up. Their defeats were taken without grudge or lack of sportsmanship and in the end they were rewarded with one victory over Tenino. This victory showed a remarkable improve- ment in playing over the beginning of the season. The experiences gained by these losses will enable Yelm to form better teamwork and sportsmanship for another year. As a reward for their faithfulness and moral victories over every opponent, the following men were granted letters: Cecil Stewart, Wayne Vancil, jim Hendricks, jim Marr, Dave Rogers, Bob Bruce, Bob Herness and Tom Alongi. After the last game of the season was over a banquet was given by the mothers of the Basketball boys honoring the squad, male fac- ulty members, and Yell leaders. During the banquet speeches were given by members of the faculty and Jim Marr was voted Captain of the team.
