,oc y, , , Girls' Qtbletits PLAY Houk Jfislh EBay After an interval of several years, the girls of Racine High School resumed their athletic activities last spring at the High School Field Day. Compared to the number of girls in school, only a small proportion came out. However, those who came were enthusiastic and made the day a success. The event of the day was a baseball game between the Indigo and Cardinal teams. The excitement ran so high that the umpireis life had to be guarded. The Indigoes succeeded in winning by a small margin. Other, events were tennis singles and doubles. a baseball far-throw, potato race, fifty-yard dash, half-mile relay race, croquet game, and a golf two- some and foursome. For each event the winning side was given a certain number of points. The Indigoes totaled the larger number for all events. The girls are looking forward to the Field Day this year with much more en- thusiasm than last. A larger number has come out, for practice and many more have expressed interest. The events will be similar to those last year. iblap Zbuur An inovation was made at R. H. S. this year. At the Stephen Bull gymnasium on Friday, hflarch 26, a Play Hour was held, open to all high school girls and faculty women. The grand march began at 7:30, after which such games as Dodge Ball, Black and White, and Basket Ball relay were played. The evening proved to be so successful that several similar events have taken place. Basket Ball This year the girls of Racine High School found much pleasure in playing basket ball. Each class had a team, and after several months of practice a class tournament was held toidecide the class championship. The Sophomores out- played the Freshmen, and the Juniors won from the Seniors in the preliminaries. The two winning teams met for the finals before an enthusiastic and interested audience. The game was close from beginning to end, butfthe Juniors came out victorious and were awarded the class championship. All girls who had played during the year gave a spread in honor of the Juniors, Friday, April 24. There were games, laughter, and best of all-good eats.

as well as of the season was played Satur- day evening. hladison University High furnished the opposing team. Our men played hard. and, considering the fact that Unavitch and Harris were out, it was the best game of the season. The score at the end of the first half was 9-3, with Madison in the lead. In the second half the Racine fellows fought as they never had before, but could not overcome the 6 point lead of the Madison five. Racine netted nine points to X1adison's five during the second half making the final score 16 '12, in favor of our adversaries. The results of the tournament were as follows: Superior 1st, Neenah 2nd, h1adison 3rd, and Racine 4th, A great deal of credit for the success of the first team was due to the strong line- up of the second team, and to the excellent coaching of Mr. Cox. The Basket 385111 Team 1919 gl 920 Unavitch. Johnny utterly bewildered his opponents with his famous pivot. Part of our success was due to his leader- ship, and the fellows elected him captain for next year. Grover. Uur notorious 'Lfusserf' en- couraged greatly by applause from the gallery, played a hard game at center. Olson. Herb', by his fast passing and accurate basket shooting did much to win our games. He will be a very valuable man on next year's team. Harris. Jack, the formidable guard, defended our basket with splendid tenac- ity, and when in possession of the ball always advanced it. He impressed more than one fair damsel with his marvelous playing both at Racine and in hlilwaukee. Gebhardt. 'CDon played a good steady game at guard. Our opponents found that it was almost impossible to keep the ball in Don's territory. It is to be re retted that we lose him because of 55 . graduation. Hunting. Hunting played an unusually consistent game at guard. He was a regular in the last part of the season. He will not be in our happy midst in 1920-21. Davies. '4Our scrappy little dark- haired Californianf' showed ability to be wondered at in almost any position on the team. VVhen he appeared on the floor, many flattering comments about him were made by all. Siewert, our sub-guard, played a good game whenever given a chance. He will no doubt be a regular next year. Boyak. Vlihen put in, lioyak managed to shoot a few baskets. lt is hoped that he will uphold the reputation of Racine High next season.
