September 22, 1934 Displaying their potential strength and ambition, the Kawmen started the season with the trouncing of the heavier De Pere squad, 46 to 0. Three touch- downs in the first quarter so demoralized the visitors that they were helpless to check the irresistible march of the Littlemen. The Kaw's offense was flaw- less, and it already looked like a championship team. The reserves, sent in during the second and third quarters, not only scored, but also held remark- ably well. The last period saw the Orange and Black on another rampage. Three more touchdowns were run over, and all the points were good. Truly a victory to be proud of. l Kaulcauna vs. Neenah September 29, 1934 The Neenah game, a sporadic but at times brilliant exhibition of football, marked the first conference win of the Kawmen. Perhaps a little onverconfident, the Kaws didn't play exceptionally well, but they finished on the long end of a 24-13 score. However, things developed swiftly, for a touchdown in the first three minutes of play gave the Orange and Black a six-point lead. Again, in the second period, another touchdown was made on a long march. A seventy-yard run on an intercepted pass gave the Kaws an 18-0 lead as the half ended. The Jorgensen team pushed over two touch- downs in the last quarter, the Littlemen retaliating with another. CAPTAIN FLEMING Thirteen

Football Coach Little, who came to Kaukauna High School from Fennimore in 1929, was from the outset, active in increasing the scope of athletics by including tennis, intramural activities, track and gymnas- tics. In 1930, due to the paucity of veterans. his football and basketball squads had only slight success. However, the inex- perienced underclassmen showed great possibilities. The same green football team of 1930 turned the tables the next year by winning the championship. The cagers, showing great improvement, took fourth place. COACH PAUL E, LITTLE Menasha, in 1932, shoved the Littlemen into second place by defeating them, 7-6. The basketball team, winning second place in the tournament, was the best in years. The next year's football team was undefeated and untied, but had to forfeit five games. The basketball team, unfortunately, failed even to get to the tournament. In 1934, the Kawmen won second place in football, having been beaten by Menasha. The ill-starred cagers lost all but three encounters. It can be seen from the above data that Mr. Little is a remarkable coach. His success is perhaps due to his smart psychology, to his untiring efforts, and to the deep affection his proteges always have for him. ,--- - a Fi- . , f , '5' 1 af X 1 1' S' 5 4 Twelvs

CLAYTON FLEMING Right Guard FRANCIS KUCHELMEISTER ,41- Quarterback RALPH WURDINGER Left Halfbaclc ' Fourteen Kaukauna vs. New London October 6, 1934 Handicapped by the loss of the two backfield stars, Kuchelmeister and Wur- dinger, due to injuries received in the previous game, Kaukauna was barely able to eke out a 6 to 0 win over the New Londonites. Only a stubborn de- fense enabled both teams to keep the score narrowed down. The first three periods were characterized by ceaseless punting and passing, with very little gain. Finally, late in the last quarter, the Littlemen obtained the oblate spher- oid deep in enemy territory, and after a bitter struggle, pushed it over. Then, playing a super-defense against the Staceymen's desperate aerial attack, they managed to hold their slim lead until the final Whistle. EIEIEI This diminutive guard, rated as one of the best in the conference, was called the spark-plug of the squad. Perch,' led his team to victory chiefly because of his knowledge and prowess. It will be hard to replace him next year. It is an accepted fact that Poets was the flashiest quarterback in the entire conference. His passing and punting will long be remembered. He is most noted, though, for his clever generalship, and long scintillating runs. His loss will be keenly felt. K'Lowie played right halfback in a manner hard to equal. Known as a triple threat man, he could outrun, out- pass and outpunt the best of them. He will help form the nucleus of next yearls squad.
