.,, U' E1 LASR' 'YNY 57104151 Whenever one sees in the papers a headline telling that Wau- kesha has won another football game or has another winning track team, the things that are high school are vividly brought back to mind. The sports program is not only important for winning championships and games, but also for building bodies, and helping every fellow learn the meaning of teamwork. Every athlete will remember the strong friendships that were made on the gridiron or the basketball floor, not only with his team- mates but with his opponents. The feeling of victory is known only to the one who has worked hard and has put in much time, striving for perfection. The athlete knows this feeling and knows that it has come as a. result of his training. He must also have, or develop, the ability of accepting defeat honorably and gra- ciously. These lessons are valuable, not only on the athletic field, butalso through life and they will shine as a beacon .clear and strong. , Re., X, N-R, -- SHAN- Vv',,- , e.0'f ' c 0 N xx s.

Using the T-formation Coach Owen got right down to business on the first day of practice. Much banging of heads las Owen would sayl was needed before the Blackshirts were ready to launch their cam- paign. Lack of experience was the biggest problem. Of the 60 boys that turned out for practice, only a few had seen action the previous season. After three weeks of tough practice the Shirts traveled to Whitefish Bay for the sea- son opener. Although they were rated very much the underdog, the boys gave the Bays a run for their money. Trailing l4-O in the 4th quarter, the Cards made two fast TD's and almost tied the score. End Denny Horr recovered a Bay fumble and a few plays later took a pass from Soder in the end- zone. Sasso converted and made the score 7-l4. A few seconds later, halfback Schultz brought the fans to their feet with a 99 yard touchdown run. The extra-point try was blocked. The Blue Dukes scored again on a long pass winning 20-13. The following week the Blackshirts went to Shorewood, only to be whipped 33-7. Waukesha's only score came on another long run by Schultz. Except for a few in- stances, Shorewood owned the turf through- out the game. Waukesha's Revenge Wauwatosa, quarantined because of polio, cancelled their game the next week. After a week without a game, news came that the Cardinals would renew hostilities with Shorewood in a non-conference game. Re- venge flashed in the mind of every Black- shirt, and this time the tables were turned. After a tough battle, the Blackshirts ended at the top of a I4-I3 score. Schultz inter- cepted a pass and galloped 80 yards for a TD. The next Shirt score came after a 75 yard drive. Shorewood followed with a tally Twenty-eight
