From there, liams kicked the extra point, Bruce Williams kicked off to and West WHO DAT MAN? Laurie ,Somers, Lieut. (jg) U. S. Coast Guard, that's who. The former Highclimber 3-sport luminary will play with the Shelton Coaches Association lineup in Friday night's benefit basketball game. If Could Even Be Worth Your Buck! Money is "hot stuff", it burns holes in the pockets of the Shelton Coaches Associ- ation. I mean there isn't any left in the SCA treasury, which puts the SCk c dm- pletely in tune with the times, doesn't it? There is a difference, though. Where I blow much of mine on piffle and stuff I can't even remember you,.. too?) , the SCA €la!eu oU i ollars to , tifiable ends; to wit, The SCA foresees some worthy needs the cinder track rather than the maple court, will be out there on the floor Friday night doing his bit and his best for the SCA against the WCC. Three former high school athletic bud- dies will keep Dave company, Ron Ellis, Laurie Somers and Greg Vermillion wore the Red & Black egimentals of Shelton high in the days Dave did. Ron and Lau- rie were classmates, graduating with Dave in 1961. Greg beat them by a year. Ron also is a fellow SCA member with Dave, having come back to Shelton this year as Highclimber assistant football and base- ball coach after joining Dave as a WWSC alumnus. Laurie went on to hoop heights, and considerable football and track ac- claim as well, at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy back in Connecticut and Greg earned national basketball attention with some of. Seattle University's best teams. Greg is now admissions officer at St. Mar- tin's College, where his brother and former Highclimber cage coach, Jerry, is varsity basketball mentor. Jerry is pledged to play with the SCA lineup Friday, too. Laurie is still Coast Guarding, as a line officer aboard the ice-breaker Staten Is- land. The fellow with the fuzz in the pic- ture accompanying this piece may not be recognizable under all that brush but that's Laurie camouflaged behind what in living color is a nifty red beard fading into the blond thatch for which he is so well re- membered in his Highclimber athletic days. Lieut. (jg) Somers grew the beard while the Staten Island was proceeding to the recent rescue of its ice-bound, crippled sistership, the North Wind. Lieut. Som- ers had been a crew member of the North Wind not long before. It should be an intriguing reunion for this quintet of one-time Shelton athletic figures Friday night and I hope whoever governs the SCA lineups sees that Dave, Ron, Laurie, Greg and Jerry make it onto the floor at least once as a team. Now let's shift back to the main track before we sign off, the reason for this Fri- day fillip. The SCA is financially flat be- cause it doled out its last $300 to Rob Mills, Jim Borst and George Williams for scholar- ships this year, $100 apiece. Jim is attend- ing Grays Harbor College, George Olympic College in their first years. Rob is at Ore- .:. ,,On State f,ohis seOnd-year,and,with his scoficJ A' award. The first was $200 a year earlier. approaching on the horizon and is moving into a state of preparation, the first step toward which comes up this Friday night. It needs your assistance. That "step" is a benefit basketball game in which SCA members risk life and limb for their treasury against a younger, bet- ter-conditioned, possibly less experienced epponent machine-tooled from Washington Corrections Center residents. The place is Shelton gym and the time $ :00 p.m. tomorrow. The SCA is relatively new as an active body, having seen the light of day as re- cently as 1963; yet in the short period since then it has handed out $1,700 in scholar- ships to eleven Shelton high school ath- letes who went on to college with the idea of entering the coaching ranks or becom- ing physical education teachers. Nine of those eleven are still in school: one (Brian Brickert) had his schooling in- terrupted by military service, and one has graduated . . . right back into the SCA. He's Dave Sund, who was granted a $100 scholarship in 1965 to help him through his senior year at Western Washington. When he collected his sheepskin in 1966 he joined the Shelton faculty, accepted a couple of coaching assignments, and promptly be- came eligible for membership in the Shel- ton Coaches Association. Dave, though his high school and col- lege athletic deployment was principally on Prior to that the SCA had gwen schol- arships in this fashion to Highclimber ath- letes: 1963--Ken Droscher $100 (deferred until 1966 at Ken's request) ; 1964Brian Briekert ($200); 1965--Ed Dawson $200, Fred Lamont, Dave Sund, Brickert $100 each; 1966--Dawson, Denny Bailey, Bob Johnson $100 each, Mills $200. You need any more sales talk for shell- ing out a buck Friday night to see an ex- hibition basketball game? Besides, it might even be a pretty fair bit of enter- tainment ! SPORTS SPLINTERS---Can't help it, sports, but the Class of '61 keeps persist- ing with news, this time Roy Kimbel the manufacturer. Roy has just re-associated himself with the University of Puget Sound, from which he graduated in 1966 after an injury-plagued baseball career. He returns to UPS as its admissions offi- cer and athletic department staff assist- ant, responsibilities which place him in di- rect competition with his one-time Shelton schoolmate, Greg Vermillion, possessor of identical assignments at St. Martin's Col- lege. Roy's athletic accomplishments as a Highclimber were confined to the baseball diamond, where he structured a record as one of the greatest base-runners in the school's history, in a highly select group which includes only Bill Taylor and Ken Latham that come to mind readily.

The field was in poor condition, due to constant rain. First quarter action showed both teams unable to move the ball, and punting the ball away. Shelton got into trouble at the beginning of the second quarter. With a third down and three situation with the ball on their own 14 yard line Shelton elected to quick kick. But West Bremerton's Dale Nesse came through to block the punt, which West Bremerton re- covered on the Shelton seven yard line. This gave West Brem- erton an excellent scoring chance. West Bremerton had bad luck strike for them, as quarter- back Frank Jackson fumbled on first down, and Shelton's Bill Daniels recovered to end the first serious threat. West Bremertons' first touch- down was set up on an intercep- tion by Gregg Jackson of a Bud Tuson pass. This gave West Bremerton a first down on its Gail Dahl Takes First In Tourney By RICK BURRELL . Gail Dahl of North Mason took top honors in Olumpic League tennis Saturday in a ten- school tournament on the West High courts in Bremerton. The favored Gall Dahl, a sophomore, stopped the defend- ing champion Linda Tuohy of Vashon in the 2½ hour champion- ship match with a score of 6-1, 2-6, and 9-7, The team of Barbara Schilling- er and Susie Kowalczyk of North Mason took second place in the doubles action. Also com- peting in the tournament for North Mason was Sue Malone. The tournament was a fitting climax to a fine fall season for North Mason, who finished in second place with a 9-1 win-loss record. SHS Harriers 00Win League Sub-District By JAN DONALDSON The Shelton cross-country team won the Olympic League sub-district meet at West Brem- erton with a score of 46 points. West Bremerton finished r,C- ond with 50 points, Sout Kitsap third with 51 points, and East Bremerton fourth with 77 points. As has been present all season, Shelton's team depth was again the key to the victory. It ap- peared that the Shelton runners formed an impassable block, as the first five Shelton finishers were Within a nine-second spread. Shelton's Olympic League rec- ord this year was four wins and two losses. The team that beat Shelton was West Bremerton, who Shelton beat in the sub-district meet. First five Shelton finishers : 6 Jim Connolly 13:51 8 Martin Savage 13:53 9 Jim Swayze 13:54 10 Joel Zehe 13:55 13 John Flower 14:00 After the sub-district Shelton went on to an eighteen team dis- trict meet.
