St. Rita's athletic program has also striven to keep up with the traditions of excellence found in its 75 years of academic success. Football rose from floundering seasons of 1908- 1920 with the 1923 Chicago City Championship, com- petitive seasons through the 30's and 40,s including the 1946 team that went 7-0-0, and the 1963 National Championship football team. Baseball dominated the Catholic League, with championships in 1922, 1923 and 1927, seven of ten Chicago Amateur Baseball League championships from 1930 to 1940, then a triumphant return to a suc- cession of Catholic League championships in the '40's and 50's under Fr. J. J. O'Ma1ley. Many years of competitive basketball reached a varsity climax with the 1961 City Championship team with other great teams as well - the 1953 junior champs, the 1970 light champs, and so on. And today, football owns four City Championships and the 1978 State crown. In the decade of the 1970's baseball continued to win with the '76 league crown and the ,77 IHSA District championship, basketball rose up to a 21-6 record in 1978 and continues to win in prestigious state holiday tournaments, track and field has experienced a rebirth at Rita in the era of the l980's. Cross-Country has come into its own with two straight state district wins and state ranking in 1979, hockey won the '75 league championship and third in the Illinois AA Tourney of 1980, and soccer won the '77 league crown. l 1 x l 'Q S .uv 1 5 :Y .X txt .sf Q -lu f 3'
