The quintet met plenty of stiff competition, the toughest probab- ly being Union Grove High School. The team from the Grove defeated Park in two of the three games played. Coach Krause found sev- eral combinations which seemed to work well. One of the most effective of these groups in- cluded Bobeck and Fuller as forwards, Saucke at center, and Leslie and Johnson in the guard positions. Playing in preliminary contests to the regular league games, the B team attracted large early attendances. lfronl lfou-1 H. Leslie, Clarence Johnson, Haluska, Saucke, E.

Grove shoots the ball to an unseen team-mate as Orwig attempts to break up the play and Aiello, in the back- ground, waits to cover the next move. This year, for the first time in several years, the Big Eight participated in the W.I.A.A. state basketball tour- nament. The regional contests in which Park played were held in the new gymnasium of the Wauwatosa High School. Park, although favored in its first tournament game, bowed to Cudahy as a result of a final-minute basket. A peculiar type of defense used by the victors proved to be the undoing of Park's squad. In the first consolation game Park ran away with Menominee Falls to the tune of 31-12. This, however, proved to be Park's only successful battle in the touniament since they were defeated by Walworth High 25-26 the final night. Dick Miller led both his team and the Big Eight con- ference in scoring by totaling 121 points in a 12-game The start of the Park-Horlick game saw Dykstra jump- ing center with Svitavsky of Horlick.

In the toumament, Dick Miller also lead his team with 36 points and Russ Jensen came close behind with 30. Highlight of the Park basketball season undoubtedly was the Central basketball game here. Central, undefeated to that point, was the only team ahead of Park in the stand- ings. Park, playing perfect ball and shooting effectively, tied up Central's offense while piling up a huge lead. Then, with at least a share of the title in their grasp, the boys bowed before two teams whom they had previously defgated. A Kenosha victory over Central was of no aid to ark. Coaches Van Galder and Krause map out their basket- ball campaign for the 1939-40 season. 5

Kark, Beere, With a .track team of well balanced strength excepting possibly in the weight events, the Park thinclads looked like good material at the be- ginning of the season. Many boys reported for the running events including the mile, half mile, and quarter mile. Hurdlers and sprinters showed much promise and Coach Van Galder expressed hopes of finishing higher in the Big Eight track standings this year. The high jumpers, pole vaulters and broad jumpers also showed ability. Lettermen returning to the track team were Jim Glidden, Frank Caligiuri, John Macko, John Nietupski, Stan Kuzia and Ed Wojcik. In their first meet of the spring, Park placed five points behind South Milwaukee to take second place. Horlick placed third in this triangular meet. Other scores were not available at the time when copy went in. With four lettermen returning and many new promising players reporting for practice, the outlook for 1940 looked fairly bright for Coach Krause's golf squad. Seven inter-school meets and the Big Eight Meet in Beloit were sche- duled. Back Hour: Coach Krause and lettermen W. Harris, W. Luka, K. Christoferson and F. Harris. Second Ron-: D. Sykes, W.
