Aubrey Harnett was elected cap- tain at a meeting held soon after the be- ginning of the season. Coach Rees soon rounded a team into shape, and we started our schedule on September 30th. East Division High of Milwaukee was our opponent. The game was poorly played. A disputed decision caused the East Division team to leave the field. The score was 5 to 0' in favor of East Division. Our second team was defeated in a pre- liminary game by the score of 6 to O. October Tth South Division High came to Racine to play. The teams were evenly matched and a fast game was played. The open game was frequently used. In the second half South Division threatened to score, but Racine recovered the ball on her one-yard line. By a series of line shifts we carried the ball to South Di- vision 's goal, the full length of the field, and Jones scored a touchdown. Racine failed to kick goal, but won the game by a score of 5 to O. Our next game was played in Kenosha. The first half was hard fought. The half ended with the score 5 to 0 in Racine 's favor. In the second half Racine played all around the Kenosha team and scored four touchdowns. The scores were made by Jones, Cahoon, Wright and Allen. Vtfright kicked goal. The score was 26 to 0. Saturday, October 28th, we played West Division of Milwaukee. The Mil- waukee team played like demons in the first half and held us 'to a five to nothing score. During the second half Racine made four touchdowns and kicked goal. Racine used the forward pass to good ad- vantage in this game. Xvright, Cahoon and Mitchell made the touchdowns. Row- lands kicked a goal. Score, 26 to O. Our second team also defeated VVest Di- vision 's second team by the score of 6 to 0. Pottinger scored the points for Racine. The next Saturday we played North Division at Milwaukee. A large crowd of rooters accompanied the team there. The second tea111 set an example for the older boys by winning their game by a ten to nothing score. Henken and C. Hood scored touchdowns for Racine.

, qN ., ib V Q? K I C7 MR. REES There is no doubt that the high stand- ing of the Racine High School in athletics may be attributed to our able and admir- able Manual Training teacher and coach, Mr. Rees. Perhaps no other person in the Racine High School has ever done so much for the advancement of clean athletics as he has. The football and track teams of 1911 were good examples of his efforts to uphold the standing of the old Racine High School. ' The splendid character of Mr. Rees is brought forth Very clearly in all his deal- ings with the students. He is square in every way, and is always ready to give one a boost. A better-liked or more popu- lar coach than Mr. Rees is very seldom found, and it would be a mighty hard proposition to find a man who could re- place him. May we have him with us many years. -The Teams, '12.
