three-way tie for first place. Each
of the three teams had an identical
2-1 record, while the fourth team
entered, the sophomores, had a
no-3 record.
Kev ersal
In the play-off tournament, the
first match pitted the fish against
the juniors. The freshmen looked
very impressive as they swept to
a 15-3 decision in the first game.
Hut as will sometimes happen in
competitive sports, the second
game was completely the opposite
of the first as the juniors rallied to
win 15-,'!. This evened the match at
1-1 and set the stage for the final
game.
The freshmen installed a com-
pletely new team and, sparked by
the change, whipped the juniors in
the deciding game 15-0, to elimi-
nate them from first-place compe-
tition.

Johnson had a 21.2 average
through the regular season
games.

meet settled down to the spectacu-
lar sprint and long distance races.

poor condition and he was not in
shape.

junior Marvin Mott came in fourth.

event of, the night, the mile relay,
it was discovered that the winner
of that event would be the winner
of the whole track meet. The fish

trants, and were tied for points.
Through the first three hand-
offs. the race was neck and neck
and the two anchor men were close
as they were handed the baton for
ttie thrilling finish.
Jim Wilson of the fish had a
slight lead over Thomas of the sen-
iors until the final straightaway,
when Thomas kicked to win the
