l 5, , .,L. 11 ff' se GOLF '25 Golf has taken a strong hold on Racine High School and has proved so popular in the few years of its existence that R. H. S. has taken the lead in state prep school golf circles. The State High School Golf Tournament has been held in Racine since its in- ception. Athletic Director Cox is known throughout the state as the sponsor and organizer of high school golf in YVisconsin. Racine High School participated in four meets in 1925, two dual meets and two triangular, before the state tournament which was again held at the Washington Park links. Racine defeated Kenosha twice, once on the home course and once at Kenosha. Racine was also first in two triangular meets in which Racine, South Nlilwaukee and Kenosha took part, easily winning the first meet and capturing the second without any trouble. Appleton, Bay View tlVlilwaukeeD, Columbus, Edgerton, llartland, Janesville, Kenosha, Lake Geneva, Lincoln tlVlilwaukeeQ, Nladison Central, Oconomowoc, Racine, Riverside tlwilwaukeei, Sheboygan, Shorewood, South Nlilwaukee, Stoughton, Yvashington Clwilwaukeei, Xvauwatosa, Xvest Allis, and Yvest Division thiilwaukeel competed in the state tournament held in Racine in Iune. The following team placed in the meet respective to the arrangement of names: Racine, Lake Geneva, l'liartland, South Nlilwaukee, Nladison Central, and Kenosha: Racine took the State's Championship and won a large silver loving cup which proudly rests in the R. ll. S. trophy case. Fritz Saxild of Racine received a gold medal for first. place individual, while Lloyd Toms, Racine, was awarded a bronze medal for taking individual third. 1925 was the most successful and the most gratifying year for R.

The state tournament was a success in every way, and it looks as if the meets established by Coach Cox are to be the most beneficial of any in state sport circles. ll99ll Kc l

A truly capable aggregation, formidable in every respect, and well able to hold its own against some of the strongest opposition the W. I. A. A. can muster, that was Racine High School's base- ball team for the Season of 1925. The locals won all their games last year, and in doing so held up the record established by the nine of the preceding season. An undefeated baseball nine for two years is a record to be well proud ofg and if the Black and Gold warriors can uphold the record again this year, the school is well able to boast of a first rate base- ball squad. Al Hughes was the mainstay of the Racine organiza- tion last year, the scrappy hurler making an excellent start at the opening of the season by pitching a no-hit match against Janesville. The second match with the Blues resulted in a second victory for the local pill tossers when they won a hard fought match after Degnan laid low a homer with the bases full, but he forgot to place his clamp on third base and none of the runs counted. Neverthe- less, the locals had totaled enough runs during the other innings to take the match. Williams was a consistent hitter during the season and Witt- kowski proved to be a valuable man at the backstop berth. IIIOIH ' fxg . 3, yf c'g. , fi a ' . , gc, Fai M v.. xv fr , f , i 'L CAPT.
