Miss Neitzel called a meeting of the girls interested in basketball, and a large number turned out. The Junior and Senior girls were delightfully sur- prised when Miss Neitzel announced that Miss Kindley, assistant to Mr. Cox, al- though it was outside of her regular schedule, would coach them every Tues- HQ day afternoon at the Gilbert Knapp School. Miss Neitzel volunteered to coach the Sophs and Freshies on Wed- nesdays. Both of the instructors are very in- terested in promoting girls' athletics and have given their best efforts towards making the season a success. The girls had had about eight practices when Miss Kindley announced that the tournament between classes would be held March 14-16-18. There was great excitement among the girls, especially when it was announced that a real silver cup tnot tinl was to be given the winning team. The teams were immediately picked, and one final practice held. The following captains were elected: Seniors-Cecile Stoffel Iuniors-Grace Cahoon Sophs-Betty Bacon A Freshman team did not materialize. Monday, March 14, the Seniors de- feated the Sophs, 16-0, in the first pre- liminary. This game proved to be a complete walk-away for the Seniors as far as points were concerned, but the Sophs showed excellent team work and good sportsmanship. The forwards for the Sophs did their best but were unable to make a basket because of the strong guarding of the Seniors. Pearl Wichern. center, and Katherine Marr, guard, were especially good in pass work for the Sophs. For the Seniors, Captain Cecile Stoffel made 12 points, while Pearl Nelson and Hazel Haub each played a good game. Wednesclay, March 16, the Sophs met another defeat at the hands of the Iuniors by a score of 18-6. Both of the teams put up a good fight, and the Sophs succeeded in making three field goals. They again showed their good sports- manship, playing a clean game through- out the four quarters. The passwork of the Iuniors was a feature of the game. FINAL GAME The Senior and Iunior girls clashed for the championship of R. H. S. Friday evening, March 18, at the Stephen Bull School.

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. Second Team Dpponents 55 West Allis ,..,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,, ,,,, 2 56 Milwaukee U School 14 55 Kenosha ..,,,,,,.,.,,.,.,,,,,,,.,, .11 20 Wauwautosa ,,,,,.,, ,.,. 1 9 17 1V1aroons ,,,...,,,,, .18 18 Kenosha ,,....,,,,,,,,,, , ,,,,,,,,, 10 16 West Allis, ,.,,,, ,,,,, ,,.,,,,,. 5 28 Milwaukee U School 15 205 94 1n addition to making such a good record, the seconds gave the school team some Hne practice, which, no doubt, had much to do with the excellent work of the heavier team. 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,

HI I ii The teams were evenly matched throughout the game, and it was not until the final whistle blew that the Seniors realized they had won. At the end of the first quarter the score was 4-43 and at the end of the third quarter, I2-12. The juniors shot one more basket and the Seniors two, making the final score 16-14, in favor of the Seniors. A great rivalry existed between the two teams, and each had come out with the intention ofwinning the cup. Hence, a regular battle ensued. Captain Cecile Stoffel of the Seniors scored I4 of the I6 points, and Pearl Nelson made the re- maining basket. The junior forwards the honors about equally, divided Martha Hood making 4 baskets, and Lorraine Olle, 5. Vlasta Iansa, a Senior guard, was par- ticularly accurate, and altho shorter than her forward, managed to get the ball over to the Senior forwards again and again. It was a great victory for the Seniors, and it was artlv due to the rootin of . W u . p tw g the Seniors and Sophs. The membership of the teams was as follows: ' SENIORS Cecile Stoffel, Captain, forward Hazel Haub, forward. Pearl Nelson, forward. Esther Gutzke, forward. Louise Cahoon, jumping center.

S. had a supper at the Y. M. C. A. The purpose of the gathering was to organize the Girls' Athletic Club. Miss Neitzel, Miss Weichers, Miss Du Four, and Miss Ramsey were the chaperons, as well as the advisory board for this booming new feature of R. H. S. Miss Neitzel read the constitution ofthe club, and all those girls who wished to belong signed, the only requirement being that a girl must have belonged to some gym- nasium class or have taken part in some R. H. S. sport, either last year or this year. Most of the girls of the basketball teams signed up. Miss Neitzel then sang a song en- titled Pep, which she had composed for the girls. She was encored clamor- ously, and responded, but the girls had to join with her in the singing. This organization will have charge ot the field meet to be held in Iune, and the members will take part in most of the events, such as indoor, tennis, etc. This club is a new step toward fur- thering athletics for the girls. After the organization of the club had been com- pleted, the Seniors were presented with the silver cup which they had won in the tournament. The cup was given by the Racine Athletic Association. The girls are very proud that they have the honor of presenting this cup to the school to be handed down to winning teams in the years to come.
