And no memory-pulllng can :nit that 1940 season when the ighclimbers, tutored by Walt Fla- kola startled the m'e t) athletic world by winning the Southwest district title and came within one- half a point of also winning the unofficial state title for indivkl- ual schools. The ltighelimbers had three ent:rants in the state mct in 1940. yet scored 12 poirlts to tie for second place with Lin- coln of Tacoma, which lind 1) entries. Yaktma led the school field with 12t/ points with sev- en entries. Only a little bad luck kept the Highclimbers from wihning the team title, too. for had not Frank Waters stumbled as he came out of the starting blocks in the 100- yard dash he would have at least placed for the one point which would have meant a Shelton tri- umph. As it was some of the wit- nesses thought he had hit the fin- ish in fourth place. Dave Dalby won the discus and Brace Nelson the broad- Jump, while Waters had taken third in the shqtput for Shel- ton's 12 points. Just the week previously, Shel- ton had upset a highly favored Vancouver team to win the South- west dishct championship, 29 to 26, when Waters won both the hot and century, Dalby the dis- cus and Nelson the broadjump for 20 points, and Waters added a third in the broadjump, Jack Cat- to a third in the discus, and Wel- don Galloway and Earl Wiley ran second and third respectively in the 880• That was really Shelton's great- est track year. Harold Anker went to the state meet in 1946 after winning both the 100 and 220 in the district meet. He placed second in the cen- tury but was blanked in an ex- tremely fast 220 at Pullman. STATE CHAMP And speaking of Des Koch, his schoolmates and all sports fans of this community are elated at his success at Pullman last weekend and congratulate the muscular Highclimber athlete on winning the discus throwing championship at the state high school track meet. The title of "State Champion" couldn't rest on the shoulders of a finer boy, a he is by terpera- rent and ability the ideal type of young athlete, His success has not gone to his head in the least, his coaches find him a perfect trainer, the most cooperative member of their squads as well as the most tal- ented, his teachers find him a will- ing and apt student, and his schoolmates find him "a regular guy." All who know Des sincerely hope ] he can repeat his discus feats I again next spring and earn a place I on the Senior All-State football[ team next fall.
