Cagers and Batsmen of Yesterday In delving into Concordials archives, we find that her name has been showered with honors also in the field of athletics. Her teams have held many amateur city championships, and in the year 1907 even took part in the basketball meet of Universities and Colleges for the championship of the American Athletic Union. The college chronicle contains many accounts of highly interesting and exciting games, the Concordia-Red Raven tussle being one of the best. This game, played Dec. 12, 1908, was arranged after much diiiiculty and was to settle a dispute of long standing. Both teams had namely claimed the city championship for three successive years, and dur- ing all this time the two lives had not met, The scene of the battle was Con- cordials gym. The writer of the chronicle reports the game as follows: Never before did our boys show more enthusiasm and spirit than at this game. Everybody seemed to have lost his senses. The gymnasium walls con- tinually resounded with echoes and re- echoes of yells. The game itself was beyond all description. Every move- ment was noteworthy! The Red Ra- vens started off with a flerce rush, scoring ten points in less than three minutes, leaving our boys far in the 1908-1909 shade. But Concordia soon showed that they were still in the game. Bangert, at center, outjumped his man at inter- vals, and at such times plucky little ttLib Rohlfing dashed in, grabbed the ball, shot, and a score was ours. So it kept up. Great credit must also be given Haacker and Schnack, the latter scoring six f1eld goals. However, the laurels undoubtedly belong to Dittmer. He played his position at guard so cleverly that his man, a forward of high caliber, obtained but one goal. After the game a spectator, Mr. Davis, a man well known in basketball circles, also at one time coach of the first team at the University of Wis- consin, said in regard to Ditt- mer that he played the guard position better than any man in the city. The score at the end of the first half was 22 to 15 in Concordia's favor. When the whistle called time in the second half, the victory be- longed to Concordia, who had in a. masterly fashion defeated the strong, over-confldent Y. M. C. A. team 37 to 24. 1898-1899
