18 F game. At this time it was learned that certain players had broken local school rules, and were put off the team. After this cut was made, only one regular was left, but Mr. Reese would not forfeit the game to Kenosha. After considerable work on the part of Mr. Rees a team was formed. The game was played on the Waukegan Iligh School floor. In the first half Kenosha easily outplayed Racine and scored 16 to our 5 points, but in the sec- ond half the fellows played together and played even with Kenosha. The time was called with the score 31-21 in favor of Kenosha. During the first week of April the players who were put off the team were allowed to play. A game was arranged with Kenosha High to be played at Ra- cine. A large crowd attended this game, because Kenosha was considered a strong team. The game was fast, and good team work was used by both teams. The half ended with the score 18 to 10 against Ra- cine. The Racine team went into the sec- ond half with the same spirit which was shown in their football games. Charmock made three successive baskets and tied the score. From then on the game was nip and tuck, first Racine ahead, then Keno- sha. Finally, when the whistle blew, the score was 30-28 in favor of Racine. This game closed the season for Racine. The season was not very successful, the canceling of games largely accounting for this. We had five teams cancel games. The players who represented Racine were Captain Jones, Charmock, Johnson, Zahn, O'Donnell, forwards, Rowlands, Howe, centers, Wright, Melvin, A. Town- send, G. Townsend, Henken, Frank, guards. -Frank O'Donnell, '12, THE sEiAsoNis-sedans - BASKET- BALL Racine, 16, Waukegan, 31 Racine, 31, Waukegan, 31 Racine, 5-1, Stoughton, 13 Racine, 23, Kenosha, 2-1 Racine, 37, Lake Geneva, 22 Racine, 32' Wauwatosa 18 7 7 Racine, 21, Kenosha, 31 Racine, 30, Kenosha. 28 -John Belden.

FACULTY GAME The members of the Faculty team were very confident that they could beat the Secretaries of the Y. M. C. A., so they challenged them to play a game of basket- ball on a Friday night as a preliminary to the regular R. H. S. game. Consequently, on the appointed night they met to see which of the teams was the better. The game started, and, as a means of encour- aging their Faculty team along. the stu- dents gave a number of yells. The Y. M. C. A. team had an advantage over the Faculty team, as they had two men on their team who are athletic directors and good players. The best man on the Fac- ulty team was Mr. Brooks, and he played a splendid game, making most of the bas- kets for his side. The rest of the Faculty team played a fairly good game. but they could not keep up with their opponents. Mr. Rees did good work at guard, had it not been for him the score would have been considerably different. At the end of the game the score showed that the Y. M. C. A. officials were a little ahead. tThe score is discreetly withheld at the request of the Faculty.D -Ansgar Hansen, i12. THE BASKETBALL SEASON Soon after the close of the football sea- son, basketball practice was started. With seven members of last year's squad back, five of whom had won an R,,' a good team was expected. F. Jones was elected captain. After three weeks of practice we played Waukegan High School at Waukegan. Our lack of team work ac- counted for our score, 31-15. Charmock, Rowlands, and Wright were responsible for most of R.acine's score. On the twelfth of January we played Waukegan a return game at Racine. The game was fast and exciting. The teams were evenly matched and both used splen- did team work. The score was a tie at the end of the first half, 16-16. Both sides tried hard to win.but when time was called the score was 31-31. After tive minutes of over-time playing the referee decided to call the game a tie. Charmock led with the basket-shooting, while Wriglit played a good game at guard. January sixth Racine played Stough- ton High at Racine. Stoughton was con- sidered a strong team on account of her victories earlier in the season. Racine displayed remarkable team work and ac- curate basket shooting. VVhen the game was called the score was 54 to 13 in Ra- cinc's favor. In a preliminary game the Faculty were defeated by the Y. M. C. A. officials team, 22 to 14. Prof. Brooks, our Principal, scored all the points for the Faculty. February ninth we played Kenosha at Kenosha. Racine played a ragged game in the first half. When the half ended the score was 20 to 13 in favor of Kenosha. In the second half Racine put in other players. Kenosha was held down to two baskets in this half, while Racine scored tive. When time was called the score was 24-23 in favor of Kenosha. On February twenty-third Lake Geneva High was our opponent. Both sides played a good game. The game was frst and exciting. Most of the playing was around Charmock of Racine and Semictht of Lake Geneva. When time was called the score was 37-22 in favor of Lake Gen- eva. Our next game was with Wauwatosa High at Wauwatosa. In past years Ra- cine has lost every game against this team, but this year they were determined to de- feat them. After the first few minutes of play Racine easily outclassed their op- ponents, and the first half ended with the score 20 to 7 in Racine's favor. In the second half Wauwatosa put up a better game and played Racine even. The game ended with the score 32-18 in our favor. All the Racine players played a good game. Our Racine team received a notice from Lawrence College that it was a candidate for the State Tournament, and it would have to play Kenosha an elimination
