Wrestling, in the city tourna­
ment for all schools in the area
which will begin next Thursday
and will continue Friday and
Saturday in the new gym are ap-*
proximately 26 of the school’s
wrestlers.
Each school will enter 26 men,
which will be two men for each
weight class.
The meet is primarily an elim­
ination for all wrestlers who are
competing for the state tourna­
ment. The first and second place
winners of each class will go to
the state tournament in Corvallis
on Marh 4-5.
Since the beginning of wres­
tling season the wrestlers have
been preparing for this meet.
Gene Brown has remained un­
defeated all season. Other mem­
bers of the team have done
equally as well.

Completing the list are Dave
Gray with 3 wins and 0 losses
and Dennis Semler, 4 wins and 0
losses. These wrestlers, accord­
ing to Coach Shewbert, are the
school’s best possibilities for the
state tournament.
At last Friday’s match against
Jackson the Generals kept the
Raiders from scoring a single
point and won the meet 45-0.
JUMPING for the ball in basketball activities at the Franklin-
Grant game last Friday is forward Steve Turner. Looking on is
center Leo Franz (24). The Generals toppled the Franklin
Quakers 36-47 in the action.

with Lincoln on schedule Tuesday
Benson, one of the league’s
hottest teams, and Lincoln, the
disappointment of the year, will
provide basketball opposition for
the Generals tonight and Tues­
day.
Winners of only 2, first-
half games, Benson has sur­
prised 4 of 5 second half
foes, and will travel to the
General gym tonight re­
membering a 55-49 first-
half loss to Coach Ed Roon­
ey’s forces.
In upsetting Madison 3 weeks
ago, the Techmen allowed Wash­
ington to replace Jefferson atop
the league standings. Over a
3-year period, the Generals have
topped Benson 6 times in 7
games, but 2 have been won in
the last minute of play.
Offensive stalwarts for
the Engineers include 3-year
letterman Dick Pooschke,
6-2 Bob Folkerts, 6-5 Cal
Fowler, and guards Mike
Bright, Ken LaDue, Steve
Nord, Dave Neuman, and
Ron Kernan.
Lincoln was rated first be­
cause of its “hustle and muscle”
but after 16 games the Cardinals
have won but 3, and only first-
year Jackson has fared worse.
The Generals lost to Lincoln
in the first half. Top players for
the Cards include Mike Bubalo,
Bruce Schoen, Jeff Kolberg,
Greg Slavens, Dick Morrison,
and Charlie Smith.
Franklin has been the only
team to lose. to Lincoln in the
second half, and the Cards have
little to look forward to, because
they finish the season against
Madison, Jefferson, and Wash-
ington.
The Generals downed Frank-
lin and Jackson last week, win­
ning 2 in a week for the first
time this year.
Fine playmaking by Ron
Young and the consistently good
shooting of Steve Turner, Scott
Terrall, and Harvey Whitney
propelled the Generals to both
victories.

Practicing earlier than ever
this year, the varsity baseball
team began hitting and fielding
workouts two weeks ago.
Coach Roy Harrington
stressed the fact that it is
necessary to. be in top shape
by the league opener, be­
cause the team plays every
day.
Returning lettermen who have
already turned out for practice
include infielders John Pachot,
Mike Hoffman, Tim Prahl, Larry
Voth, and Dave Dimitre and out­
fielders Mike Balkovich and Jim
Fox.
Pitchers Steve Pender­
grass and Bruce Von Wald
are others with varsity ex­
perience. A total of 17 play­
ers will return from last
year’s 22-man roster.
Coach Harrington named John
Pachot infield captain, Mike Bal­
kovich outfield captain, and
Steve Pendergrass captain of the
pitchers.
Mr. Harrington has been
pleased with the early season
practices, and says that, the team
is further along than this time
last year.
Pre-season games have been
scheduled beginning spring va­
cation, and about 10 non-count­
ing games will be played. Regu­
lar season games will be played
every day following a 22-game
schedule. There will be no
league divisions in baseball.
Varsity thindads
prepare for start
of running season
Starting a week after Christ­
mas vacation, track members
have been running both around
the area and the school.
Running Mondays, Wed­
nesdays and Fridays, both
the members of the track
team and the baseball team
have been training in both
weights and running, ac­
cording to Coach Mark Cot­
ton.
Track season will begin in full
in about two weeks when both
basketball and wrestling are fin­
ished.
One of the purposes of the
running is to build strength
for the runners and it gives
the boys.not participating in
wrestling or basketball a
chance to participate in a
sport.
Running to build strength and
flexibility, the runners practice
running at the most 10 miles a
day. Some track men run from
here to Rocky Butte but most of
the runs are shorter.
The first track meet of the sea­
son will be on March 24 against
Madison.
Under the coaching of Mr.
Cotton, the Generals have won
three consecutive city track ti­
tles, and they won the state title
last year.
Leading this year’s returning
lettermen is dashman Onia
Bates.
Last year’s Generals finished
first in the first half, and were
runners-up to Roosevelt for the
city championship. Their record
was 16 wins, 4 losses; the best in
11 years.
