October 13, 1967 New weight lifting helps condition winter athletes by Marilyn Leonard A Universal gym, thigh ma chine, dumb and bar bells have been in action for the past few weeks as off-season athletes get irito condition for the winter and spring sports. Under the direction of Lanny Sparks and Ed Rooney, the boys work out in the apparatus and wrestling rooms. The sessions are open to all athletes not par ticipating in fall sports on Mon day, Wednesday, and Friday Junior gridirons aim for top berth in schedule finale The frosh and junior varsity football teams have remained undefeated so far in the league and are looking for victory in. their three remaining games against Franklin, Cleveland, and Marshall. Coach Roy Harrington’s JV team downed their last oppo nents, Benson, 27-14 in a close first half and large scoring sec ond half. At the end of the first half the score was 3-2, Grant’s favor. Top scorers for the team are sophomores Jackie Chin and Gary Coghill; juniors Bill Hjelm and Ed Geist who ran a punt re turn back 60 yards for a touch down; and the whole defensive line proved strong in the games. Coach Harrington called the second half of the Benson game the “most outstanding and in spirational half I’ve ever experi enced.” Turning to the frosh, who seem to be looking for a trophy to add to the trophy case. Al though the frosh league is pret ty balanced, the G-men have easily beat their last opponents with scores of 34-0 and 18-6. Running backs Dave Gable and Marc Brans, along with Kirk Saluva and Dan Griffin, have proved strong competition for any opposing team. Both the JV and the fresh men will have their toughest games against Franklin.

The Universal gym was first spotted by the coaches, Dr. Roy Malo, and Hubert Shovlin in the summer of ’66. Plans to buy the “gym” were held up because of that old problem — no money; however, a local sports dealer offered the “gym” to the school on the condition that it would be paid for by the end of the year. Thanks to such fund-raising events as the KISN Good-Guy basketball game, donations from the Dads’ club, the P.T.A., the class of ’67, the Royal G’s, the proceeds from the gym show and the soft drink machine in the boys’ gym and many more fund- raising programs, the Universal gym was bought for about $2500. Some of the other equipment such as the thigh machine still have to be paid for but the fact that the main body of the “gym” was bought in June, seven months before the December deadline, assures the school that we’re not in danger of losing the new equipment. The best features of the ma chine are the eight different sta tions, the various weight sizes, and the fact that a teacher can rhn a whole class through the “gym” in 30-35 minutes. THE GRANTONIAN G-men remain 'victorious’ by Marilyn Leonard The sweetest sounds a football team could hear are the sounds, of “Victory.” Victories like 15-6 arid 26-0 make any team happy but upcoming opponents like Franklin and Cleveland can change that attitude greatly. For a good team, the only real vic tory will be the one that gives them the city championship. First rated team in the Green division of the PIL is the Franklin Quakers; but hard luck and lots of in juries have hampered the team and caused them to go down in the lague standings. Great losses to the team are tackles Ken Bolder, and 205- pound Dan Velander. Also miss ing the game will be top runners John Stuble and Don Loomis. “Injuries have made our team almost physically un able to play the good foot ball that they wanted to play against Grant,” com mented Quakers’ Coach Walt Buckiewicz. “The team’s really down now but I hope we can give Grant a good battle.” Coach Frank Wolf is not alto gether confident on winning al though he was pretty sure the Generals would “take care of Franklin.” “When a team is GENERAL ON THE MOVE is Ron Brown (43) who’s heading for the Washington goal line as Kurt Heinz (10) blocks out Colonial defense. down with injuries like Franklin Indians áre noted for their fast is, they just may put out an ex moving offense which has sur tra effort and that could cause prised many strong defenses. Size and speed helps this trouble.” More trouble could come from team out a lot. Big and fast on the Indians of Cleveland. Rated the team are Bob Mallory, 252 third in the Green division, the pounds; Bill Engles, 236, and Tim Culbertson, 232. A fast moving team of Walt Reynolds, quarterback, and Tom Rosen- dahl will be strong again in the game.
