The first opponent on the nine-game schedule was a strong and highly favored team from Ottuniwa. Playing excellent hall, the Wahawks fought Ottumwa to a l3 to l3 tie. The following week the Wahawks jour- neyed to Cedar Rapids to take on Roosevelt High. After a see-saw first half, the Waterloo boys took the measure of the Cereal City lads 31 to l2. Mason City was the next foe on the schedule. Although Mason City had not played any games, she was rumored to have a powerful team. The Mohawks bogged down our running and passing game and finished on the long end of a 7 to U score. lHHll Somewhat disheartened, the VJahawks took on a rugged and powerful team front Fort Dodge. Knowing the odds were against them, Vtfest High fought a determined battle lout the highly-tooted Dodgers won l3 to 7. The following Friday the Wahawks trav- eled to Des Moines to loattle Roosevelt High. Although our stalwarts practically pushed the Rough Riders off the field, as far as sta- tistics go, we dropped a heartbreaking l3 to 6 game. The record at this point stood at one win, three losses, and one tie. West High was favored over the Dubuque Rams, hut the Rams upset the Vtfahawks l3 to 6. The North Des Moines Polar Bears made the Vtfahawks their fourth victim by ironing out a one-sided 20 to 7 victory. Angered by the five losses, the 'Wahawks plastered a poor team from McKinley, Cedar Rapids, 3l to O.

HHSKl The Wahawk cagemen entered upon their 1945-46 basketball schedule with a poten- tially good team. Retaining such stars as Dick Thompson, Dean LaMaster, and Iohn Lutgen from last year, the Wahawks opened their season with the proverbial first game opponents, Dunkerton and Orange. Playing fourteen men, the Wahawks easily downed Dunkerton 37 to 28. In the second game of the evening the Orange boys fell before the West High onslaught 36 to 24. The next week-end pitted us against our arch rivals, Waverly and Cedar Falls Downtown. The Go-hawks, who spilled West in the District finals last year, were no match for the West men and Waverly fell 36 to 3l. Saturday night brought a tough team from Cedar Ealls against us. Boasting Iesperson, the Tigers were favored over the Wahawks. Playing superb ball and holding all-stater lesperson to three field goals, the Wahawks edged Downtown 4l to 39. Two Des Moines schools, Roosevelt and East, invaded Vfaterloo to provide the next foes for the Wahawks. Roosevelt was pushed all over the floor and were on the short end of a 37 to 22 score. Boasting five straight wins, the Wahawks seemed ready for East Des Moines. Playing a slowepassing game, which has always bothered West High, East lltllll eked out a 24 to 22 victory. The following week the Polar Bears from North Des Moines came into the Wahawk camp. Leading 28 to l2 at the half, West easily won 47 to 38. Loras Academy of Dubuque provided the next opposition for the Wahawks. Loras, with an undefeated team so far this year, dealt Vfest a 32 to l9 lacing for the worst defeat of the season. Our next game was with the Marshalltown Bobcats. The Bobcats had a fine team this year and although out- fought, the Cats slipped by West 38 to 37. Playing Clear Lake for the first time, the 'Wahawks were almost beaten, but rallied to win 40 to 39. The Wahawks split their over-night trip to Fort Dodge and Webster City by downing the Dodgers 43 to 26, and losing to a SCFCIDDY Webster City bunch 39 to 37. The traditional East-West rivalry was in high gear for the first inter-city game between the Trojans and Wahawks. The Trojans, playing way over their heads and hitting from all angles, upset our boys 28 to 26. Our next game was with Roosevelt of Cedar Rapids, which we won with ease 44 to 30. The Mohawks from Mason City were the Wahawks' next victim, who succumbed 39 to 32.

A 1 t 'l5 i F-'idx l ,- lNest invaded Cedar Rapids, the next week, to play McKinley and Wilson. The West lads took both games with ease, beating McKinley 45 to 37 and Wilson 47 to 32. Dick Thompson, our star forward, hit 35 points in those two games. ln a return engagement with Fort Dodge the Wahawks were success- ful again 47 to 30. Nevada provided the next game for the Wahawks and fought a determined battle but were beaten 31 to 30. This brought the Wahawk record to 14 wins and 6 losses for a .746 percentage. The future Big Seven champions, Mason City, upset West the following night 38 to 36. Gunning for re- venge against East Waterloo, the Wahawks thoroughly humiliated and punished the Tro- jans 36 to 22. For the next three games the Old Rose and Black men played the three Des Moines schools on their home ground. North upset the West cagemen 31 to 30, but West came back to douse Roosevelt 45 to 25. Then West dropped a heart-breaker to East Des Moines 34 to 20. This ended the regular season. The West High record was 16 wins and 8 losses. Waverly, who always has a tough tournament team, downed West 39 to 30 in the first game of the District Tournament and went on to take third in the State Tournament. lt is interesting to note that West High lost two games by one point and four games by two points. Dick Thompson, with a seasons total of 202 points, for an 11.7 point per game average, led the Wahawk scoring. Mason Deibler, 6'-6 guard, was second with 204. SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL Dean scores again Our scrCIDDY Center, lohn Lutgen, was third with 122 and Dean LaMaster, a very clever guard, was fourth with an even 100. West High tied with North and East Des Moines for second place in the Big Seven with 7 wins and 5 losses. Dick Thompson landed a berth on the third all-state team, while Deibler and LaMaster received honorable mention in lack North's basketball poll. ln spite of their nine losses the Wahawks had an exceptionally fine team in teamwork and spirit and are worthy of the praise given them.
