Junior I-ligh Basketball With about 225 boys taking part in basketball and forming twenty- eight teams. it is readily seen that this sport is by far the most popular with Junior High boys. Out of these 225 boys, three leagues were formed. known as A'Majors, in which there were eight teams, captained by Jack Blaisdell, Fred Doc Woodhead, Barry Gillet. Laverne Reap, Tom Godersky, Francis Doughty, Ray Trakel, and Emil Katzner: Hlntermediatesf' com- posed of sixteen teams, captained by l-larold Mahnke, Charles Russell, William Kosbiel. Frank Adams.

Basketban During the first part of the basketball season things were not as rosy for the team as they might have been. They did not seem to have the pep that they might have had: they succumbed to a string of defeats. and it looked as if they were going to end up in last place. Then came semester exams. a big tall center, and a Sophomore who could shoot like a whiz, and we had a different team. This last semester Vklaukesha High School caused some big upsets, and all the first diviiion Suburban teams came to fear the team which they easily whipped before. It seemed as though a new team had stepped onto the floor. Bob Stevenson. the captain. played a very consistent game of basketball. Although not a high scorer. yet he could always be depended upon for several points a game. When- ever Bob stepped up for a free throw. it usually meant another point to Waukesha's credit. Bob played forward and was an excellent defensive player. As captain. he was an inspiration to the team. Howard Redford was our tall center. During the first semester, lie was out because of ineligibility. But he qualified in his exams, and then proved his worth on the team both as an offensive and defensive player. Vylith him at center, Waukesha pulled many upsets and caused many surprises. Art Robel. the Sophomore star. played a great offensive game at forward after the first part of February, He became the threat on XVaukesha's team. and he was guarded carefully by all teams the latter part of the season. He should prove to be one of the greatest basketball stars that Vklaukesha has ever seen if he keeps up his good work, Harry O'Mealy is another big threat on th: offensive. His ability to shoot quickly and precisely has added point after point to his record. Harry is a Junior and will be back next year. I.es XVeinkauf and John Golemgeske were our main reliances on defensive playing. Both played excellent games and stopped many of the shots which would otherwise have lost games for us. XVith a little more experience they should prove invaluable to the quintet. Then there is another regular. l.inn Thiel. l.inn is a good all-around basketball player, fast on his feet. an excellent shot. and a good dribbler. Many times Linn has saved us from defeat by sinking one of his side shots. Bill XVolf, John Davies. Earl Schley. and Hans Dclzer complete the list of basket- ball men. Hans hurt his shoulder in the first Vtlauwatosa game and then we lost him for the rest of the season. Bill, Johnny. and Earl played good games when they were given th: chance. and all three have another year before them in which to make good. -- -Z-ffPage 106 ly- V-

R 1 N for first place in the Intermediates, while Wolfe's Vikings, Inzeo's Pirates. and Birch's lVeaseIs are striving for honors in the Minor League. A total of 225 games will have been played before the season closes. a record that will vie with that of any other school in the state. The way in which the Minors took to basketball reminds one of the way ducks take to water. There was nothing to it at all. Coach Wes- terlund had but to issue a call and out of 36 boys 28 responded. a per- centage of 79. That's fine spirit for you. and real attitude toward athletics. lt is hoped that this minor spirit will not be on the down grade as these boys continue their climb toward Senior High. There is some likely looking material in this group and should go a long way toward making Coach Saubert's heart glad as they come to him for final conditioning. Some of the boys who showed up well were Joe Medina, Chester Birch. Little Dan McGeen, Earl Wolfe, Roy Redford, Eugene Bach, Cormel Inzeo, Dean Stelley, Bud Burtch. and Lloyd Hack. Page I O8 lik-fm
