This move will take place at the close of the summer baseball season in 1975. Akron school officials announced that they plan to join the Little Sioux Conference at that time. The Red Raiders have been a part of the Siouxland Conference since its beginning in 1952, a period of 22 years. They were instrumental in organizing the league at that time.

This leaves the conference with eight members and league officials expressed the opinion that they intend to stay with this number for some time to come. Member schools remaining include Boyden-Hull, Central Lyon of Rock Rapids, George, Maurice-Orange City, Rock Valley, Sioux Center, West Lyon of Inwood, and West Sioux of Hawarden.

Other teams expected to RV, SC lead in Siouxland golf The Siouxland Conference golf races are well underway.

The meet will be held this week Friday with field events getting underway at 4:00 p.m. and the running events to follow. Unity Christian is the defending champ but the Knights are going to have to come through with exceptional performances if they are to repeat this year. This year's meet should prove to be one of the most balanced in terms of competition with LeMars Gehlen perhaps wearing the role of favorite. But strong challenges should also come from Sanborn, Floyd Valley, Storm Lake St.

Mary's, and Little Rock. None of the records in the field events appear to be in danger but it is suspected that a real assault will be made on the record book in the running events, both individual and relay. Little Rock's Fred Trei could eclipse the :10.5 record (set by Unity's Jerry in 1970) in the 100 yard dash as well as the :23.5 clocking in the 220. (The latter was also set by in 1970). Floyd Valley's Loren Van Gelder could erase the :53.5 record in the 440 while teammate Paul Van Roekel is sure to challenge the 2 Mile Run record.

Unity's Brian Obbink has his eye on the 2:07.6 record in the 880 Yd. Run and he has bettered that already this year. And there are several relay marks that should fall as Gehlen, Unity, Sanborn and Floyd Valley have each surpassed one of the existing marks in previous competition this Spring.
