Close fought game ends 8 3 for soldiers in seventh inning
The game was 3-3 until the seventh when errors and timely hits let the soldiers score five runs, finishing 8-3. The season faced scheduling and practice difficulties, with ragged play at times, and hope rests on better plans next spring. A June 11 field meet drew few entrants, likely due to holidays and hot weather, and prizes may boost future interest. Mokma led with 28 points, winning events in the 100 yard dash broad jump shot put and discus, with Vander Stoep and Van Hettinga among top scorers. The tennis finals June 18 saw Flikkema defeat Ottipoby for the silver medal after sets of 6-1 6-2 6-13 6-3.
