Clarkston High School students Earl Darrah, center, and Leo Butler, holding trophy, won the two-day annual tournament held at NICE (now Lewis-Clark State College) in Lewiston. According to an accompanying story, the boys made up one of three Clarkston teams in the event which featured more than 100 contestants from 20 Washington and Idaho schools. The prize was the new Jack Boswell Trophy, named for the NICE student who donated the trophy and who was chairman of the event.
