it 5' if Football C9425 The 1942 Elkhorn football team was fairly successful although it did not finish high in the conference standings. Coach Karl Ulichny was in his first year as head coach, and his assistants were Russell Iaycox and Donald Disrud. The Elks were just below the .500 mark, as they won three games while losing five. Two of the three wins were at the end of the season, and thus you can see that the team was at its peak when finishing its schedule. Elkhorn opened its schedule against Walworth and came out on the short end of a 20-6 score. The locals then traveled to East Troy and easily won by a score of 26-12. The team next went to Lake Geneva for the first conference tilt and was beaten by a score of 25-13. The next game was also a conference game and the Elks played their worst game of the year, being defeated by a score of 40-6. Iefferson was the next stop for the local eleven and they lost 8-0 to the Rock Valley Champs. Next came the crucial game with Delavan. The game was fairly even in the first half, but the Comets showed too much power in the second half and won 19-O. The Whitewater game was to see who was to be in the cellar of the conference. The Elkhorn boys decided they weren't going to be and played their best game of the season in defeating the red and white 6-0 in the homecoming game. The final game of the season was played with the Delavan Deaf, and the Elks won 7-0. LETTERMEN D. Ellsworth Co-Captain, I. Walters Co-Captain, E. Sorenson, B. Belknap, C. Dunlap, L. Reid, C.

Athletic Program This year in Elkhorn we have an athletic council which rules over all major sports. This council is composed of the coaches of the sports, an elected member from each class, and the principal. Its duties include awarding of letters, making and enforcing training rules, and bettering the athletic program of the school. Elkhorn now has a thoroughly developed athletic program, taking in the grade school and the high school. Boys from the third grade up are taught the fundamentals of the various sports. This plan makes it much easier for the high school coaches, as the boys are already partially trained. In the high school there are four major sports in which the boys participate. These are football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. A boy rnust participate in one-third of the quarters, innings, or sets of football, basketball, baseball, and tennis to earn a letter. 1 www- '-su.. -...tb 'X COACHES xx Left to Right: Mr. lVlcNaughton, Freshman Basketball and Baseball: Mr. Ulichny, Football and Tennis: f X Mr. Iaycox, Basketball and I Football: Mr, Disrud, Second Team Basketball and Baseball I K FSA e F ft , tl Q ' 'f ?
