7 HI HQ Behiem uf jfuuthall Season Although the season's results look more favorable to our opponents than to the R. H. S. eleven, there is nothing but credit due to the football team of 1920. This is the first season that our team bucked up against the strongest teams of the section. Even then, the results of the fall's work show that the local team at no time suffered a decisive defeat. NORTH DIVISION, 6-R. H. S., 7 The Racine High School team started the season right by winning the first game from the strong North Division eleven of Milwaukee by a score of 7 to 6. WEST ALLIS, 144R. H. S., 16 The comeback of the Black and Gold eleven in the last quarter saved this game. It was in this game that our doughty captain, Lund, was injured, with the result that he was obliged to stay out of a majority of the remaining games. A difficult drop-kick by Boyak resulted in the winning score. WASHINGTON HIGH, 18JR. H. S., 7 With Lund and Hansen out of the line- up, the local team could not make sufficient gains to win this game. MADISON, 6-R. H. S., 0 Playing in a drizzling rain storm, on a slippery field, and outweighed twenty- five pounds to the man, the Racine High School eleven was defeated, after a hard fight, by Nladison High at Madi- son by a score of 6 to 0. BELOIT, 74R. H. S., 5 This game was the only one which Racine lost but could have won. NEW TIIIER, l7HR. H. S., 0 The Black and Gold suffered its worst defeat of the season when it lost to the crack New Trier team at Kenilworth, Illinois by a Score of 17 to 0. KICNOSHA, 0-R. H. S., 15 Upsetting all the dope and surpassing the hopes of its most optimistic followers, the R. 11. S. football team defeated its ancient rival, Kenosha, 15 to 0, in the best game of the season. The determin- ation of the local players to end the season the way it was started was possibly the reason why the score was so one-sided. It is no exaggeration to say that every one of the Racine players put up a fine game. Captain Lund, who had completely recovered from his injuries, played a wonderful game at full-back. Harris put up the best game he had played all season. He was carried off the field in the last quarter because of in- juries to his ankle. Hanson and Widmer deserve special mention for the remarka- ble way in which they carried the ball for Racine. Muhlich, Kenosha's star full- back, was unable to make gains because the eleven R. H. S. players had their eyes on him at all times. Boyak was unusually successful with his forward passes. Neither ofthe touchdowns was made by flukesp therefore Racine can easily claim superiority this season over Kenosha in all branches ofathletics. For the first time within the present student generation, R. H. S. made a clean sweep in both football and basketball. Basketball REVIEW OF THE SEASON Our first team has a record this year that has never been attained before by any R. H. S. team. The team did not lose a single game thruout the season, and has not lost a scheduled game in the past three years. In the first two seasons, however, the team lost a total of three games-one at the sectional tournament two years ago, and two last year at the state tournament. The only thing that kept Racine from becoming State Champions this year was the dis- qualification of the team thru a technical fault. One of the rules of the Wisconsin lnterscholastic Athletic Association was broken by Grover, the local center. and the result was the forfeiture ofthe games in which he participated. WEST ALLIS The local quintet started towards the championship in the usual manner by defeating West Allis, 48 to 10. This first game showed the spirit with which the students were supporting their team and made it necessary for the team to play on the Y. M. C. A. floor in order to accommodate the crowds.
