1 BillDickie's SIDELINE SLANTS
Pinnacles In a state discus record at.Pullman which
stood for a dozen years or so, and that
Hicjhclimber Track
So here it is hard up against another
Shelton Invitational Track meet, the 7th in
this series of spring competitions which
has become one of the most popular high
school sports events in western Washing-
ton.
Time was, though, when track was a
poor relation in Highclimber athletic hier-
archy, in contrast to its high rank of today.
Only two inter-school sports have few-
er years weighing on them than cinder com-
petition-golf and wrestling. By compar-
ison'with these two track is a graybeard, to
be true, yet baseball, basketball and foot-
ball had been on the scene many years be-
fore track made its debut at Shelton high
in the early 1930s.
Matter of fact, track didn't "burst
upon the scene" all at once, it sort of
eased itself into the picture gradually
at Shelton. F or many years the track
itself was only long enough for the 100
yard dash and the 120-yard hurdles;
it wasn't until the present baseball
grandstand was built after World War
II that a full quarter mile oval, part of
it under the baseball stands, was con-
structed. In those days Shelton did
not host track meets, although the
Climbers competed away from home.
Strangely, though, one of the two pin-
nacles of Climber cinder history occurred
during this early period, when Walt Hakola
was coach. It was fashioned when Dave
Dalby, Bruce Nelson, the late Frank Wa-
ters, and a handful of other particularly
fine athletes came along at the same time
and carried the Red & Black banner to its
greatest cinder heights. The trio mention-
ed above came within a whisker of pulling
off a stunning upset at the state meet in
Pullman in 1940, only a momentary lapse of
luck keeping them from capturing the team
title with that tiny band of cogent compet-
itors.
The Dalby-Nelson-Waters triumvirate
won two and placed third in three of the
four events in which they were qualified--
discus, broad jump, shot put, and the 100
yard dash--to tie for second place in team
point totals with Tacoma's Lincoln, one
hlf of a point behind winning Yakima.
The second Climber track pinnacle push-
el upward during the coaching regime of
Bob Sund just a recent few years ago, dur-
ing which Sund squads captured the Olym-
pic League cinder crown three years hand
running and peaked with a tremendous
trouncing of the field in the 1965 Shelton
Invitational, though, strangely, that season
the Climbers failed to win the league title
when a succession of injuries, illnesses and
ineligibilities decimated the squad at the
critical moment.
That voice in the back row is ask-
ing about the Des Koch pinnacle. Yes,
one could say that was another Climb-
er milestone, but during his prep ca-
reer Des was sort of a candle in a coal
mine. He stood alone and what track
success the Highclimbers had was
largely due to Des's exploits. He
didn't have much help. But he did set
has to be considered some kind of pin-
nacle, I grant. By the same reckon-
ing, Mike Johnson's state meet rec-
ord pole vault in 1965 could be con-
sidered a pinnacle-upon-a-pinnacle.
Now we're pressing hard on the 7th
Shelton Invitational Meet, this Saturday,
with no new pinnacle in sight for 'the
Climbers. Nevertheless, the talent-rich
army of young athletes who will be run-
ning, jumping and throwing objects at Loop
Field two evenings hence will parade some
of the very ablest abilities in the Evergreen
State for the edification of Mason County
sports fans. This is a show no sports fans
should miss, whether the home talent has
anything to offer or not.
SPORTS SPLINTERS--If spunk and
grit will get him there look for a High-
climber sophomore, Ross Godwin, to be col-
lecting points for the Shelton track squad
the next couple of seasons. Two years ago
doctors thought Ross would never again be
able to run, might have a stiff knee, as the
result of a freak power-mower mishap
which flipped a rusty nail into his joint.
But Ross wanted to run and gamely fought
back, today is winning two-mile races for
the Highclimber junior varsity and occa-
sionally picking up a point for the varsity.
Bob and Clyde Coots have shared one
golfing distinction ever since they began
playing the game--they're both lefthand-
ers. Now they have another--they've both
shot a hole-in-one. Bob joined Clyde in that
happy state last week when his 9-iron tee
shot on the 125-yard third hole at Bay-
shore plunked into the cup while Clyde and
Dan Carl watched enviously. Clyde had
known the exaltation of that achievement
for a year, having aced the 180-yard 7th at
Bayshore a season ago.
At 24 years, Highclimber grid grad
Bill Goodpaster holds the distinction
of being the "senior citizen" on the
University of Washington football
squad which began spring practice last
week. On the roster released by the
U.W. athletic department Bill is listed
as a non-letterman varsity squad re-
turnee from last year, a junior in elig-
ibility because of his "red-shirt" status
durin K the 1966 season, and a defen-
sive tackl of 220 pounds and 6-2 alti-
tude. After graduating fom Shelton
high in 1961, Bill played at Olympic
Junior College a couple of years and
stayed out of school to work and get
married before entering the U. of W.
Barring injury, Bill should be seeing
action in the annual Varsity-Alumni
game May 20.
It comes as no great surprise to read
that Wes Stock has retired from active
playing roles to become a pitching coach
with the Kansas City Athletics. The for-
mer Highclimber slab star indicated last
summer to this writer that when his play-
ing days were over he'd like to turn to
coaching. The announcement of his trans-
fer to the non-playing roster of the Ath-
letics was carried in the sports news re-
cently. Wes claims no ambitions to be-
come a manager.

• The North Mason baseball
team has yet to win a league
game, but they're getting closer
all the time. Last Monday the
Bulldogs got sweet revenge over
the South Kitsap JV's by beat-
ing them 4-3. South had slaught-
ered the Bulldogs in NM's first
game of the year by a 15 to 1
margin. Bruce Cotant was the
winning pitcher.
On Thursday the Bulldogs lost
a close league game to Lake-
side, 3-2. The Bulldogs had two
late rallies quenched, by a
double play in the sixth, and
left the bases loaded in the
seventh. Lakeside scored the
winning run in the fifth on the
strength of a double and a sac-
riftce fly.

Beats WestBremerton 12-9
By TOM MARSHALL
• Shelton's Highclimber dia-
mond crew put an end to its
big inning jinx last Monday by
picking up a revenge match from
West Bremerton 12-9 in non-
league action on the West field.
ThPough the last three games
Pappa J's crew has lost by
aiding its opponent in one hig
inning with about seven errors.
(Pappa J. is the team's nick-
name for Coach Jack Wright.)
In Monday's game, West aided
Shelton with a number of lapses
to give the Climbers the upper
hand.
With the Climbers ahead 7-4
at the end of four innings, Jon
Armstrong relieved Tom Mar-
shall on the mound to give the
young righthander some time
to loosen up in case he is needed
in the all-important league tilt
today with Central Kitsap.
Though Armstrong got into a
little control problem in his first
inning he cooled off the Wildcat
bench by retiring the side with
two strike outs and an infield
grounder.
Then the Bremerton merry-go-
round started. Aided hy four
errors and two hits, West picked
up five unearned runs to go out
front for the second time in the
game 9-8. Shelton picked up its
e'tghth' run irfithe : top ' half 'of
the sixth on three infield hits.'
Jerry Sparks scored on Irv Her-
rel's bunt down the first base
line.
In the bottom half of that
inning, West picked at the
Climber defense for five runs
and the lead.

By MIKE HAYS
• A seven-run rally in the first
inning paved the way to an
East Bremerton baseball, victory
over Shelton last Thursday.
Three walks, three hits and
an error produced the seven
opening runs.
The Climbers got their only
run in the fourth inning when
left: fielder Jon Armstrong
walked, and advanced to third
on Tom Maltoy's sacrifice bunt.
A throwing error on East first
sacker Bruce Welling enabled
Armstrong to score.
Pitcher Jan Donaldson struck
out five East batters, allowed
four hits and walked three.
East chucker Eric Steinman
struck out four Shelton batters,
giving up five hits.
Tom Marshall, Jon Armstrong,
Mary Wilson and Mike Hays
singled and Erv Herrel double
for the Climbers.
Shelton's Marv Wilson led off
the seventh frame with a shot
through the box. Leadoff hitter
Mike Hays pounded a ground
ball into the dirt that left both
runners safe when the second
sacker didn't: know what to do
with the ball.
The next move saw both run-
ners advance on a wild pitch,
then Jerry Sparks' infield
grounder scored Wilson on a mis-
cue by the shortstop. Singles by
winning pitcher Jon Armstrong
and Jan Donaldson sent: home
tim winning runs.
