HI I ii I BELOIT The 1oca1s cleared their first contender for the State Championship out of the way when they defeated Beloit on the Beloit College f1oor by a score of19 to 14. Racine, after being at the bottom of the score in the first half, staged a great comeback and snatched away Be1oit's fond hopes. MILWAUKPIE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL Racine cagers hung another scalp on their belts when they swamped the Uni- versity 11igh by a 41 to 14 score. MADISON After traveling all day the 1oca1 quintet played one of the hardest games of the season at 1V1adison, and came out at the top, 22 to 16. This was one ofthe greatest accomplishments of the team because it was the first time in nine years the Nladison had lost on her own f1oor. It was also the first time during the season that Walsh, the 1V1adison star, missed a free throw. KENOSHA Repeating the good work of last year and of the football team, R. H. S. defeated Kenosha High by the over- whelming score1uf41 to 7 at the Racine Y. M. C. A. WAUWAUTOSA Another easy victory for Racine took place the following evening when the local boys defeated Wauwautosa in her box-car gym by the score of 56 to 10. MADISON Duplicating the playing of a univer- sity team, the Black and Gold next de- feated 1V1adison by the score of 20 to 15. Playing before a crowd of nearly one thousand fans, the High School team played one of the best and roughest games of the entire season. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 8. Racine had an edge over Madison in its defense which permitted Madison only two field goals, and those were long shots. KENOSIIA Racine took another easy game from Kenosha a week later, and also stored up energy for a game on the following day. The final score was 22 to 10. WEST ALLIS The High School five played one of the roughest games of the season when they ran up against the West Allis crowd in a gym about the size, though not as high, as Room 9. The final score in this game was 58 to 16. The jllililtnaukee iliuurnament MANITOWOC Racine won her way into the semi- finals by taking an uninteresting game from Manitowcmc. This game was not very hard for Racine, and the team, taking advantage of this, rested up for the remainder ofthe tournament, letting the Northerners down with a 22 to 6 score. WHITEWATER COMMERCIAL Another proposed rival for the state honors was crushed in defeat to the tune of 19 to 5, when Whitewater met the strong Racine Hve. It was impossible for the Whitewater team to break thru the strong defense of Harris and Hansen. WAUKESHA The R. H. S. team won the right to play in the State Tournament by defeat- ing Waukesha, 17 to 15, in the final game. This game showed Racine's superiority in every way over all the teams in this section. Racine won the tournament but was excluded from the honors because of Grover's ineligibility at the time of the Waukesha game. Glibe Ripon Tournament Racine was easily the strongest team at this tourney, with New London run- ning second. Neither of these teams carried home a place, however, because of disqualifications. MARION In the first game Racine took an easy victory from Marion, the team which was given the tournament, by defeating her 19 to 5. This was the easiest game that Racine played at this tournament, and all of the substitutes took some part in the good work. NEW LONDON Perhaps the best team that Racine O

HI I TG met all season was the team from New London High School. It was the best set of sportsmen that any team could ask to meet. 1n this game Racine beat New London 14 to 2. The score re- sembled baseball more than basketball. At the end of the first quarter the score was 0 to 0. Racine started scoring in the second period, and New London made a free throw. The first half ended with Racine, 4, to New London, 1. Unavitch opened up in the last half and did much towards making the final score 14 to 2, Harris also played an exceedingly fine game. New London had the strongest defense that Racine has met. BELOIT Racine ended the season 1-ight by defeating Beloit again by the score of 28 to 7. This team came here with the idea of wiping out the defeat received from Racine earlier in the season. This was the final game of the year and probably the last time the members of this un- usually strong team wi11 ever play together. OUTLOOK FOR 1922 Donald Wadewitz has been chosen to captain the team of 1922. Seven of the eight layers graduate this spring, and Sandelin, sub-forward, is the only man who will be back next year. However, the second team had some excellent players and the majority will return in the fall, There will not be such a nucleus as there was this year, but Mr. Cox can be trusted to put out a fast team which will be a credit to any school. THE SECOND TEAM The Second Team passed thru a very successful season this year, winning seven out of eight games played. The only team to which the lightweights gave victory was the Nlaroons, a heavy local teanr The Second Squad consisted of' the following players: Captain Donald Waclewvitz, '22. Felix Boyak, '22, Einer Christensen, '25, Gray Longhead, '25, Thomas Hay, '21, Almond Siewert, '22, Richard Lund, '22. Herbert Falkenrath, '22. Kenneth Kehl, '22. Hubert Nelson, '24, Charles Lange, '22, George Dietrich, '22, Carlton Hilker, '25, Frank Rufifialo, '22, Harlan Snoke, '22, The results of' the season's efforts were as follows: R. H, S.

TNTERCLASS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Although speed is an important char- acteristic of basketball, the lnterclass tournament proved that experience is what counts most. 1n the first series ot' games played, the Seniors met the Sophs, and the Iuniors, the Freshmen. The Sophs showed up well in the first game by holding the Seniors to a 25-19 score, The Seniors lay low the first half, in order to make the game interesting: but during the second half they set a hard pace, with the result that the large end of the final score belonged to the class of '21, The Freshies were easy victims to the Iuniors, and this put the upper class teams in a clash for first place. The final game was perhaps the most thrilling ever played by some of the class players, Captain Steve Hanson of the Senior team made some very spectacular shots,
