Sank Centre tracksters add

places against 20 for Melrose'
four first spots, and then held
enough second and third places
to win in 16 point margin.
Times for the events were un-
impressive, but this inaugural
meet was looked upon by
Coach Ray Schwartz as an able
start.
Veeder tackled up Is points in
three firsts in the 100 yard at lis
220 yard at 25:5 seconds, and the
high jump at 49". He added seven
more points with second spots in

29,8O0 PINS
Ted Wurst Tops
League BoWIers

Week in and week out, Ted
Wurst has been Sank Centres best
bowler for the 1940-41 season, ac-
cording to season statistics COM
piled and made public by Bernard
Schoenhoff, secretary of the local
bowling association.
Playing in 81 games for his
Greenwald Bank team in the Gen.
trail League, Wurst hung up an av-
erage of 1S4-35, one of the topflight
averages in this section.
But more pins went flying
before the southpaw delivery of
Andy Mayer than any other
single bowler in the league, 1t
was learned. Bowling i'm 164
games in both leagues, Mayer
accounted for more than 29,8OO
pins for a grand average Of
1872.
Bowling in 80 games in the Main
Street League with Merchants Ma
tional Bank Club, Doc hung up an
average of 1892 pins; and with
Sig's Place in the Central his 181
average was formed over "a games.
All these ten high averages in
both mems leagues, Schoenhoff said,
are the result of their bowling in at
least two-thirds of the scheduled "a
games. Most of them had bowled
far beyond the required number.
Other top notch keglers with
their averages included Schoenhoff
with 1921 in 70 games with Irv's
Bar in the Central League, Clar-
ence Nathe also with Irv's with
175-45 in a full round of "a games,
Bob Rydholm with "a games in the
Main Street with the Merchants
Bank with 172-76, and Art Borg
mann with "a games in the Main
Street League Borgmann Bros. roll
ed a grand average of 172-22.

id succession for the next three
high point places. Second to Weed
er was Rehkamp with IL points

the shot for 40'1" to take 10 points.
In fourth place was Bohlig with

ais of the bank. Should the
men lose-well, then it will be a

I think that is a fair payoff both
ways.
It's marvellous really the way
these fellows of both teams are
willing to stick their neclxs out.
-. Should they lose, the cost

the cost of furs. -.

who went. Florence Vogel, other

Fun? Well, Monday morning they

a bunch of fellows with high draft
numbers.
don't know yet which way
they're going to jump. Last
week it was announced that the
2O-year-old helper-the tractor
at the Country Club would be
retired. We wrote an ap-
propriate obituary for the bur-
ial. But this week it seems
in a subsequent meeting that
it is not quite certain that a
new tractor will relieve "Liz"
of duties this year. So If
the old tractor is still working
this year, it can be announced
that the retirement was, as in
Mark Twain's. classic, grossly
exaggerated.

Track OF To
A Good Start
8 Meets Occupy
Team in 10 Days
Men To Bowl Ladies In
Two Matches Tonight
MAC Girls Enjoy
Trip to Cities
Liz May Not Retire
Track got off to a good start
this season. A victory in points
and places over Melrose in a dual
clash last week gave the coaches
something to work on. :. But it's
too early to say how the competi-
tive strength of Schwartz big track
team will stack up. -.
First big test comes on Satur-
day when the boys enter st.
Johns invitation meet at Col
legeville. Therem probably
be twenty schools or more in
the event and competition is
going to be keen. It's al
ways a fine starter to go to
st. Johns. The boys have
good track to work on and good
equipment. A revelation to
most schools since track is one
of the least equipped of all
high school sports in many
sectors.
There were few of the marks
set in the dual meet with Melrose
that will hold up probably. But
it was an early meet, virtually the
first outdoor running and tossing
the boys have done. Running
in some events was uncommonly
slow, but an additional week and
meet behind them is expected to
raise the marks considerably.
In a couple events the marks were
good. The discus throw for in
stance when Melrose' Voss made
102 feet and three inches. and
Veeder got 102 feet. The 120
high hurdles by Kuefler was good
time, nothing unusual, but compel
tive. He did it in 20 seconds flat,
and only a second elapsed between
first and third man. :.
While that is being planned,
there are two more meets for
certain. The West Central
Conference gang go to work on
May 9Th. And the district
20 schools get together for this
spring event at Alexandria on
May 10th. On May 10th
Sank Centres golf team goes to
the Litchfield field days for en-
try in that event. It's the
first time, we believe, that golf
has been Incorporated into the
school program on an inter-
school basis. Though some
years ago golf was recognized
as an inter-class event with
some distinction.
