fffoi wg 1 Football '25 Racine started its football season this year laboring under the inexperience handicap that was the bane of the Black and Gold's athletic existence throughout the seasons of the different sports during '25 and '26. Racine lost its first game to South Division High School of Milwaukee, 15-6. Although fighting bravely and succeeding in pushing one touchdown across, Racine finally succumbed when the invaders drove two touchdowns through the R. H. S. defense. The following week Racine made the longest jaunt in the history of its athletics when Coach Cox took the squad to Marinette where men are lum- CAPT. PALJLSON berjacks and football teams are of huge proportions. The odds were all against Racine, but the game was the making of the Racine team. The line demonstrated that it was possessed of ample backbone, while the backheld was a co-ordinated machine. It was a great moral vic- tory for the Black and Gold, despite the 14-0 defeat the score showed. CAPT. EL14:cT Burris The next game was played on the following Saturday at Beloit and it was Racine's first Big Six conference tilt. The game ended six all tie. Shorewood lligh at Nlilwaukee came next. The game was played on a sea of mud and water that was inches deep. Frequent time-outs were taken to enable the referee to clean off the ball before the game could progress. Cash more's expert toe work was the feature of the game. He booted twelve points between the posts from difficult angles. Racine skidded to one touchdown and the game ended 18-0 with the Black and Gold on top, both literally and figuratively speaking. This game was one of the best swimming meets Racine has ever partici- ated in. P Nladison East lli was the next foeman. Racine Won 55-0. Dunaway was all four of the horsemen, and with the willing help of able team mates, the Galloping Ghost turned in the maiority of Racine's points. Ianesville defeated Racine the following week in a game that should never have been played. The field was covered with several inches of snow and throughout the game the blizzard was so bad that the teams could not be seen from the sidelines. Racine played the game when Ianesville became insistent, and fought like demons against a team whose superior weight and size slowly pushed the Coxmen back to defeat. The game ended 18-0. Racine battled Nladison Central High to a 0-0 tie at Nladison the following week. The Black and Gold sojourned inside the Orange ten yard marker several times but conldn't manage to score. The final game was the annual battle between Racine and Kenosha. The game was a one-sided affair featured by Racine's great battle against overwhelming odds and by the efficient work ofthe Keno tank corps composed of eleven young gentle- men of the heavyweight division. The score was 20-0. This was the Grst time Kenosha had defeated Racine in five years. l94l

'26 Basket Ball Fighting like a pack of frenzied Nlohammedans anxious to please Allah hiv slaying a few hundred false he- lieversn, the gang came from hehind. tied the score, and swarmed all over Nladison Central High School's highly touted hasketeers in an overtime period hy a I7-13 margin. Nladison Central at the time was supposed to he one of the strongest teams in the league, and the win hy the local warriors seemed to put the championship on the ice. On February 20 Chow can any of us K- , If .Z 1, CAPT- ever forget that datej Kenosha lligh C-APT. THIES CHRISTMAN upset the dope bucket, and trimmed the L f4fl'w K ' Coxmen hy a 20 to 15 count. The hunch had a nice lead in the opening minutes of the play: hut, spurred on lm-v traditional rivalry had a little speedy pass work, the Red- and Black came thru for the first win of the Conference season. The Southport aggregation had heen in a slump until it met the Coxmen. The victory over Racine gave it a new courage: for it defeated later in the season both Racine and Central, two of the highest rated schools in the conference race. The Triangle Club, a subsidary organization of the R. O. G. O. D. chartered a special car to take the local students to the game. The loss to Kenosha did not in the least dampen the local school's title aspirations. They invaded Maclistmn East on the following Friday all prepared to win, or at least make a good showing against the Capitol five. Somehow or other, the Easters managed to tiring through a I5-ll count for themselves. The guarding was exceedingly close in the game and scoring was kept down to a minority on both sides. Two weeks after the Racine lighting cagers dropped a match to the McCawmen, the iwu Schools met again, hut this time on the local's floor. The Racine gang was fighting an up-hill hattle all the way, and made subject to a last minute rally hy the invading organization, to lose the second lmattle to Kenosha High hiv a 2-t-17 count. Racine was rewarded for a season's efforts lay the announcement that they were chosen to enter the state lwasketliall preliminaries at Nlilwaukee. ln the opening battle against Pewaukee lligh School, Racine was again forced to how to a haskethall teaiii when they were nosed out of a sure victory hy 25 to 22 win. Fate again presented the locals with Kenosha lligh School's lmasketeers for an opponent when the two schools met for the third time for a lmattle in the district tourna- ment. Kenosha again came through with the win. The score stood at 19-I5 at the end nf the game, with the Bedmakers on the bulky end of the count. Racine ran rings H9611
