RACINE-MII,XVAUKEE RIVERSIDE HIGH Racine met its second reverse of the season at Milwaukee, losing to the strong Riverside High 15-0.

A. Cox, Racine has again produced a basketball team of the championship calibre. By means of the famous Racine short-pass game, and pivot, a squad which at first looked but mediocre developed into a team Of the highest ability, a team with such a high degree of physical efficiency that it easily took third place in the sectional tournament. Coach Cox aims to promote athletics in the broadest sense, not only for the physical effect, but for its effect on the moral Hbre of the individual. In the basketball team of 1921-22, Mr. Cox has realized his high- est ideals and has produced a team not only supreme in the game itself but in the sportsmanship that makes the game worth while.

With hut one or two exceptions, the candi- dates were the rawest of raw material, and coaches Cox and Nlaxstead had hands full during the weeks of stiff workouts. Every team must at some time have its slump, and every school has at some time or other a had year. ln the season of 1921, the bird of ill- fortune perched on the banners of R. ll. S. The defeats suffered by the team were the most heartbreaking defeats it is possihle to imagine, but through it all the team showed a hull-dog tenacity to tight to the finish. ln spite of the un- fortunate outcome of some of the games, the fellows learned lessons of far greater henetit through defeat than they could have learned through victory. The-v learned to develop and practice quali- ties of courage, determination, co-op- eration, and self control, assets which make athletics valuahle regardless of defeat or victory. Led by a new-found cheer leader who almounded in pep and snap, the students stood lwy the team at all times, and the feelings of the season were well expressed in the words, We were lmeaten, hut we fought until the last whistle blew.
