Under the direction of Coach Charles Hyke, the team ended in a tie for Sth in the South VV:-:stern VViscon- sin Athletic League and won two games in the tournament play. Coach Hyke gave the whole team plenty of chance to see action and gain experience. Good teamwork accounted for the upsetting of some of the conference leaders. The last game of the year, played with last place Fennimore, was a record breaking game as the Hawks scored 114 points.
