General Athletics The years 1925-1926 have been a period of building up and construc- tion work as far as athletics were concerned at Viroqua. There were very few men back from any of the teams of last year, either for football or basketball, and this made it necessary for the coach to polish up the green material in order to get smooth working teams. A large number of Soph- omores and Juniors who knew almost nothing about the game reported for football. For the first few days Coach Mattison drilled upon the funda- mentals of the game, handling the ball, and also giving some time to the study of the new rules. Numerous chalk talks were given in which some of the fine points of the game were illustrated. Blocking and tackling were discussed and then practiced on the field. The same was true of basketball. Many of the boys who came out for basketball knew very little about the game. During the early practices the boys learned the correct way to shoot, how to pivot and dribble, and many of the other essential fundamentals of the game. After the first squad was chosen several gymnasium periods were devoted to teaching some of these things to the boys who were not on the squad. At the end of the basketball season the games of the Jungle League were played. The first ten men of the squad chose teams from among the boys of the seventh to the twelfth grades. They named their team after some animal, and each team had a practice session before any games were played. The competition was very keen and excitement ran high among the players and coaches. Each team played seven games, and the games resulted in a tie for first place between the Elks, coached by Torger Espe, and the Skunks, coached by Tolly Sherry. When the tie was decided the Elks won the championship. Much credit is due their coach, Torger Espe, who coached his team so successfully that they suffered only one defeat. . Thus the year was not spent wholly in the preparation of teams for thls season, but in preparing the under-classmen for future teams. CHEER LEADERS H. HELGESON E. WILLIAMS -53h
