The last dual meet for the Senior
High team for this season was held
last Saturday at Virginia. AS ex-
pected, our boys underwent q bad
trimming as result of six regulars
being out of the lineup -Four boys
were declared Ineligible for being
down in their studies, Rudolph Krall,
our best bet in the diving, has been
out OF school for two weeks with the
mumps and Urho Elfving was pre-
vented from going. When Virginia
swan here earlier in the season. they
managed to beat Ely by a scant
margin OF five points. The score then
was Virginia 81 and Ely 80, while
last Saturday they met our crippled
team with full strength and won
handily Sc to Is which is the lowest
score Ely has garnered in the four
years OF swimming. The Ely boys
that did swim here were seemingly
OFF form, while the Virginia crew
were at the peak and as result the
times made by Virginia in some
OF the events were better than the
present state records although they
will not be recognized as sush as q
state record must be made in a state
meet with competent timers and of
f1clalS. Three watches must be used
on the winner while at Virginia only
Two watches were used on the first
man.
The following Ely boys placed in the
Senior High Meet. In the difing, Joe
Pucel placed second and although this
IS Joe's first year in competition and
only Freshman he looks good
enough to be able to place in the
state meet this year. In the 40 yard
free Paapanen placed third; in the
backstroke Maxi placed second; IN the
22O free, Somrock placed third; in the
breast stroke, Blackmore placed third
and in the 4u0 yard free, Pappanen
placed third.
A Junior High meet was also sched-
uled to take place az the same time,
IN which our strong team was again
expected to come out with big lead.
However. Coach BCardman cancelled
that as none of his boys showed up
at the time. Negotiations have been
made with Aurora. Bull and Biwa-
blk for dual meets with our Junior
High team but no dates have been
set as yet. If these meets don't come
off Coach Herseth will issue c1al-
lenge to anV ',Ininr High team i'll the
state for the championship and If
none agree e. SWIM the Ely Junior
High Swimming team will lay claim
to the state championship title The
Ely boys have soundly crushed the
Range teams with lopsided scores.
They beat Virginia some time ago
with score of 48 to u and Chisholm
took the same route but came out
worse, the score was Ely So and CHS
holm 8; scores that speak for them
selves
The members of the Junior High
team are:

naming from this years squad. The
team can look forward to q few good
years to come. Only three boys will
graduate this coming June while six
went by the graduation route last
June am none were well enough sea-
soned to fill their places as well as
could be.
