BE1,o1'r The Beloit eleven had been picked for the state championship by newspaper men and interscholastic gridiron critics, before they came to Racine. Our fellows were determined to win their last game. L. Beloit kicked off. Grover started the con- test with a long run. Although two of our players were injured early in the game, Lunde breaking his collar bone, and Grover spraining his ankle, both refused to be taken out. Beloit scored first by a drop kick.

A number of this yearis second team will no doubt be on the first teamnext year. Our second eleven played Kenoshais second squad and beat them 6-O. The quarters had to be shortened to six min-

utes in order that the first team game could begin on time. Wihen the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Racine had carried the ball to Kenoshais five yard line. In the third quarter, Lunde went through the line for a touchdown. The ball was kicked out, but as the man who caught it took too many steps, Racine forfeited the right to kick a goal. The ball was on Kenosha's one-yard line when the game ended. jfnuthall Banquet The Football Banquet was attended by a large crowd of enthusiastic students and teachers. Adellon Hogan spent weeks in advance poring over old joke books in preparation for his duty as toastmaster. Bliss Watts led the singing. The speak- ers were Miss Rodigan, Harriet Stanke, hir. hforey, lNIr. Reid, Nfr. Rogers, and hfr. Cox who gave a brief history of foot- ball. Mr. Giese, after a short talk, pre- sented the sweaters, which were gold with black R's. This is the first time the school has ever presented the team with sweaters. Vlihen our heroes appeared the next day wearing the hard-won emblems each found himself the center of an admiring group of students. jfunthall Gieam 1919 Lunde. Our famous captain carried the team through a successful season, and by his skillful direction of the plays con- tributed largely to our victories. Harris. Jack, the handsome halfback, plunged through the line for large gains. Often he was badly hurt but always stayed in the game. Next year Jack will be the main support of the back field. Unavitch. Johnny at end was a fear- less tackler and was always ready to fight to the finish. He will return next year to strengthen the team. Grover. Our unique half-back caused many a lovely maid to hold her breath, and many a charming damsel's heart to A flutter as he sped down the field on his long end runs. It will be diflicult to get a man capable of filling his place on the team next year. Breckenfeld. '4Breck,' was out part of the season because ofa bad ankle. How- ever, he more than made up for his absence on his return. In the last few games he played center. Boyak. Our little end played a great game, spoiling many of our opponents, plays and often getting the man with the ball. It is hoped that the team of 1920 will have this valuable player. Siewert. Siewert was a deadly tackler and nearly always got his man. He played part of the season at end and finished up at left guard. Next season he will win glory for Racine. Johnson. The passing of our plucky center was always to be depended on. YVhile on the defensive he broke up many of our opponents, plays. Johnson returns next year. Breed. nBow,', our red-headed tackle, played like a fiend and held like a stone wall. He was a hard worker and helped to uphold the reputation of the team. It is to be regretted that we lose him be- cause of graduation. Lund. Our sterling little guard played a steady game of good football, always fighting to the last whistle, and playing every minute of the game. Dutch,' was elected captain for next year. Herman. Harry was always ready to stop a play coming through his side of the line. Klany of our gains were made off his tackle. Next year he will be one of the mainstays of the line. Larson. TeddyH, subbing at end, showed his ability more than once. Next year he will be a regular. Buffham. If Buffham had,not broken a rib early in the season, he probably would have made the team. He will be lost by graduation. Cushman. Everyone remembers Bob's
