clenched teeth and his line plunges. Somehow he managed to get away with playing fullback. Graduation claims him, also. Christianson. Chuck, sub end, proved his metal when given a chance. He is also of the class of 1920. 18815126 wall 191911920 Racine High School Basket Ball Team won the sectional tournament at Xfil- waukee, and, if our best players had not been injured in the first game of the state tournament, we might have captured the Championship. Every man on the team fought hard in every minute of every game. The most admirable thing about our team was the remarkable way in which the boys played together. The fel- lows greatly appreciated the support and encouragement that they received from the splendid crowds of rooters. Not one player fell below in any of his subjects during the whole season. BURLINGTON On January Sth the Racine High School Basket Ball Team won its first victory from the Burlington five with a score of 4545. Racine outplayed its opponents by using the pivot and short snappy passes. Unavitch, having a keen eye for the basket, made twenty-two points of the total score. SoUT1i KfII,VVAUKEE The next game, at South Kfilwaukee, was again an overwhelming victory for our men. They were accompanied by about a hundred rooters. Our players were altogether too fast for their oppon- ents. Grover and Olson were the basket- makers for Racine, while the others kept our opponent's score down. The final reckoning was 6141. The second squad also had an easy time winning with a score of 31-5. A KENOSIIAX Racine High School played Kenosha, its time-honored rival, at the NY gym. As Grover outjumped his man, and as our fellows completely confused their adversaries with that renowned Divot, which was a unique characteristic of our team, the game was ours from the very start. Kenosha was unable to force its way through the strong defense of Racine. The final score was 2542 in our favor. The second team won its game with a score of 19-10. Hilker helped the Kenosha team to feel their inferiority. LANE TECH Our fourth victory was won from Lane TechnicalHigh School,which is said to have one of the best teams in the hfiddle-VVestg however, our fellows were a bit too fast for them. They had tied with Hyde Park High School for the first place in Chicago. Lane's defense was unable to stop the short, snappy passwork of Racine. Their individual playing contrasted sharply with our teamwork. Unavitch, Olson and Grover were the basket-makers for Racine, while Harris and Gebhardt guard- ed our territory with admirable skill. The five-man defense of Racine made our competitors take many long shots. The score was 2948. VVAUWA UTosA Both the first and second teams of Viiauwautosa were annihilated by our men, the first with a score of 74f9, the second 5243. All the men on both teams were used by Mr. Cox, our coach. A huge crowd of zealous rooters led by our eminent cheerleader, Jimmy Von Ger- meten, made the Stephen Bull School tremble on its foundations. 7 VVATERTOWN Friday, February the thirteenth, was a lucky day for the Racine High School players as they revenged themselves for their defeat by Watertown in the tourna- ment of last year. Both teams used the

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
