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

football teams have remained

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

More trouble could come from team out a lot. Big and fast on
