But the weather came through
Saturday afternoon. Although
there were a few clouds in the
brilliant blue sky, the wind stay-
ed away and it was a perfect day
for tim track meet.
Tle usual excrement of the
meet expanded as officials called
the contestants to come for the
discus which was the fourth field
event of the afternoon. Des's
l name was th0. first read, and he
was first to hurl the platter•
When he had finished and the
other contestants t o o k their
places, Dick Oltman joined Des
on the field to await tlm outcome
of the event.

photographer snapped pictures
and the Shelton lad then, for the
first time, had a smile of victory
for the crowd. As he walked from
the platforn Des shook bands
'with the second place winner of
the event. Immediately after the
presentation Mel Newman, Shel.

Des and Dick Oltman on the field,
and Emmett Oliver, Shelton coach

Yes, you at home can be proud
of Des as were are at Washington

Des Joins Dave Dalby and
Bruce Nelson in the exclusive
ranks of Highclimber state track
champions. Dalby and Nelson both
won their titles in 1940 when the
former won the same discus ev-
ent in which Des triumphed this
year, and Nelson copped the
broadjump with a leap of 21 fet
4.L, inches. Dalby's winning dis-
eus throw in 1940 was 129 feet 3.

KocIrS WINNING throw was
almost 19 feet better than the
second place throw of 132 feet
10V. inches by Elmer Messenger
of Centralia. Messenger had a cou-
ple of better throws, one of 149
feet plus, which were disqualified.

last week end calls for a bit of
reminiscing.
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. I

REMARKABLE RECOVERY j
Many of the fans who attended l
the closing games of the High-
climber baseball schedule last Fri-
day and Saturday nights were as-I

rest of the season with a ere

Olympia.

a badly strained and bruised
neck muscle which responded
remarkably to treatment and a
"€0liar" which kent it sti*ff and
erect for several days.
To prove he was able to play as
well as ever, John rapI)ed out two
hits in his "debut" against Elma,
the third time this season hc has
done that trick at the i)late,
SPORTS SPECKS
Elma lost two of its prep bah
players in tile same way Wayne
Clary was lost to the Highclimber
team• playing for McCleary in an
Evergreen League game, which
made the non-conference tussle be-
tween the two schools last Fri-
day night a meeting oi: "co-inci-
dental cripples."
Bowling averages published in
these columns last week reveal
that the father-and-son duo of
Vern and Jack Eaton who bowled
for the American Legion in the
Commercial League last season
were an even-Stephen match. Both
wound up with identical averages l
of 128.
