t BilI00000000$'I00DELINE" SLA:NTS Jim Corey Hurls No-Hitter For Junior Rose, Tin1,ed With Ebony! There was little about the 1968-69 high school athletic year to pop vest buttons around Christmaatown USA, Central Kit- sap's domination of Olympic League sports since last September being so high-geared as to leave extremely meager muscle re- ward for the Cougars' conference contem- poraries. Sole solace for our Highclimbers lies in the distinction of capturing the only major.sport championship the athletes from Silverdale overlooked. Of the five so- called major sports, only track escaped Cougar claws. The Climbers bagged it with a perfect conference calendar. Central also allowed one so-called minor title to slip away, tennis going to East Bremerton, but laid claim to the other pair --golf and cross country. Thus, track becomes the bellwether on whioh any review of the recently embalmed prep sports year must concentrate when assessing ath'letic achievements in Climber- ville. The Climbers hoisted this lonesome sports pennant without a single outstand- ing althete. They did it on general, all- around strength. They had only two indl. vidual league champions, Dick Shrum in the high jump, Randy Lewis in the pole vault, and no C4imber went to the state meet  a rare situation. Balance over-all was the championship Ingredient. In only one other sport did the Climbers seriously challenge for the crown. Almost any other year Shelton golfers would have worn the tiara with the outstanding collec- tion of links aptitude representing the Red & Black this spring. But the Cougars had six kids capable of clouting consistently under 80. Andy Tuson couldn't quite match that, but his Climber golfers did have a great season, nevertheless, and easily rate runner-up to Bill Brockert's cindermen in any assessment of the year's athletic achievements. Tennis, wrestling and cross- country came off close to expectations, the latter having the best won-lost record of the three. Wrestling rated some special at- tention and acclaim through the spectacular individual record of Mary Willson and to a somewhat lesser degree of Dallas Gunter. Willson won the Olympic League and Dis- trict 141-pound titles and five of six match- for a third nteLIIl[Bt sy¢ the District  hd a top'flightcord going into it. Disappointment drugged the two big spectator sports, football and basketball, along with baseball. Title aspirations were consigned each in pre.season prognostica- tions, but at schedule.end 1 floundered in or just short of the dungeon. Summarizing, three major sports fell short, two attained or exceeded expecta-' tions. All three minors at least lived up to their predictions. Of the five major sports, only the championship-winner retains its coach for 1969.70, Bill Brickert being the lone men- tor who hasn't relinquished the reins and so far as we know has no such intentions. Some might yield to the temptation of link- in6 records with resignations. This cor- her doubts, to any serious extent, such a one-plus-one answer. Other factors, par- ticularly the desire to advance to greener pastures, such as into the administrative field, entered the picture. Of the four, suc- cessors have been named in two  Terry Gregg for Jack Wright in basketball, Dick Wentz for Steve Jay in wrestling. Gregg moves up from Shelton junior high after two excellent seasons. Wentz was Jay's assistant. Football and baseball remain open, but certainly not unwanted. Any capsule review of the Climbers' past athletic year, then, must perforce find the rose hue cast by one championship and one near-miss tinted by the dark dye of disap- pointment in three others, May that com- plexion clear in 1969-70! SPORTS SPLINTERS  Highclimber trackmen out-scored opponents 538 to 314 in Olympic League dual meets this year while compiling a 6-0 title-winning record. Greatest success was achieved in the pole vault, where the Climbers had a 50 to 4 edge on rivals, pushed closely by a 48-6 mark in the high jump. The triple jump yielded a 32-4 harvest, the low hurdles a 40-14 margin, the shot put a 37-17 superior- ity, and the mile relay a 25-5 edge. Oppo- nents out-scored Shelton in only four of the 17 events--mile 26-28, two-mile 26-28, 880- relay 10-20, and the 220 yard dash 20-34. It was tight in the javelin but the Climb- ers won by 28-26. Seniors scored 329-2/3 points, juniors 177-5/12, and sophs 121- 11/12 of the Highclimber total for the com- plete season. Junior Randy Lewis led all individuals with an even 100 points. Bill Richards was the leading senior and sec- ond high individual with 67-1/6, while Todd Looney topped sophomore scorers at 26- 1/2. Speaking of Todd, two older brothers rweceded him as Climber athletes. Oldest brother Stuart, now in Vietnam, was due for promotion to Chief Warrant Officer in his Army assault helicopter unit near Sai- gon this month. He is assistant operations officer and flies combat missions with a fleet of the swift new American attack 'copters which have harassed the Viet Cong with devastating effect. He set the first Highclimber school record in the two-mile run when it became a recognized prep,track ncnv !,a s, average at the of Washington, earned Climber letters in football, basketball (honorary captain), and tennis (was Olympic League doubles champion wRh Dave Bayley). At the UW Steve was recently named the out- standing sophomore Air Corps ROTC cadet. He has taken up squash (handball with racquets) and rates third among Husky devotees of the sport. Although Mary Willson, this year's Highclimber athlete-of-the-year, left for Alabama to join his family last week, chances are good he'll be back in the North. west by fall as Olympic Community Col- lege at Bremerton wants him to represent the Rangers in wrestling and is willing to present him an athletic scholarship if he consents to do so.

LOB " Hagan's Arm, Shelton Bats, Bring By BILL DICKIE • If Bremerton residents heard a "sonic boom" Saturday night it may have come from their Roosevelt Field, where Shelton Junior Legion bats and Mike Ha- gan's fastball lowered the boom on Port Angeles in the opening Olympic Connie Mack baseball league game for both teams. Shelton bruised the PA entry, 13-1, on a combination of nine hits, seven walks, a hit batsman, and two errors behind Hagan's brilliant 17- strikeout, two- hit mound masterpiece. Hagan's fastball boomed into catcher Rusty Corey's mitt with such speed PA batters consistent- ly swung far too late. Only six of them got a piece of it in the entire game,-two for hits, four for the only outs Hagan left for his fielders to handle. Four others got aboard on walks. The first 12 PA batters failed to reach base, nine striking out. PA's first baserunner came from Hagan's first walk, opening the fifth inning. Another walk and an infield hit, behind a whiff, filled the bases, but Hagan fan- ned another pair to extricate him- self from the jam. The infield tap which spoiled his no-hit ledger actually should have been an out. With runners on first and second, Tim Haley bounced a slow roller into the shortstop-third base hole. Jody Campbell went far to his left, gloved the ball, and brushed the rer gP/ug bY,.  umpire . :Bmm, was n0t! la ti to see the tag and called the runner safe. The other hit off Hagan was a solid single to leftcenter by Lee Adams to open the sixth, and wound up as the lone PA run, though it was unearned. Adams moved to second when a pick- off effort fouled, he stole third, and scored on a passed ball. Ha- ,gan struckout the side in the third, fifth and seventh and had doubles in each other inning. He pitched in corn/oft from the second following a six-run Shel- ton assault in which he drove in the first run himself. With the bases full after a walk to Campbell and singles by Russ Corey and Kevin Dorcy, Hagan hit a high-hopper to second and Campbell beat the throw to the plate. Mike Bac's centerfield single scored Corey and Dorcy and alter Ed Adams walked to Cougars Still On Top In 19th Hole League CRAB FEED, IIXED 2.RA][JL SCHEDULED THIS SAT(DAY 'articlpants in Shelton Golf Club's monthly mixed two-ball competition this Saturday will be able to replenish spent energies after treading the nine holes with the toothsome nourishment of crab meat and beer.

TUSON 'IES LARSON IN PRESIDENT'S CUP ACTION Andy Tuson finished the last 36 holes of his 54-hole President's Cup competition last week with net 70 and 68 cards (alter his 13-stroke handicap) to go with his opening 70 for a 20mke total and tie with Larry Larson for the lead. Lar$on finished his 54 holes two weeks ago. Glen Robertson was the anly other entry to complete 54 holes, his final 18 producing a net 74 (90-16) and a 218 total.

Only 14 percentage polnts to the rear charge the Gary Nie- loy Knaves and but two more behind the Knaves thunder the Darrell Denniston Demons. All three saddled success in last week's action, the Cougars on a 13-of-20 point Hde, the Knaves a 15-for-20 journel which elevat- ed them from fourth into the se- cord spot prevlotmly held by the Demons, who |lid to third de- spite their 12-for-18 performance. It a]/ adds to a dandy 3-team scrap as the final two weeks of the schedule hove into sight. Jack Jeffery's Jets also rode an ascending elevator, moving from sixth to fourth on a 14-for- 20 ,grade. Longest skid of the week Was the Ivan Myers Maul. ers, flora second to fifth on a 6-for-18 loss, to the Demons. The last three teams, for the second straight week, remained tmchang- ed, leaving the standings llke so with two days of action to go: Bob COOts 1312O 77/126 .612 wk ssn pot.
