Volleyball Waukesha has had rather an unsuccessful athletic program this year from the standpoint of games won although there is promising material in all sports. The inexperienced players in basketball and football put up a good fight and those who followed our athletics will agree that Vsfaukesha ought to come out on top next year. Although Waukesha suffered repeated defeats the predominating spirit and fight was bound to give them a victory. This victory was won by the volleyball team which was coached by Roger Sohr. The players responsible for this victory were Jerome Schiffman, Harold Golemjeske, Bud Knight, Roger DeLong, Gil Evans, and Spencer Klatt. The tournament in which seven suburban schools participated was held at Wauwatosa. In the first round South Milwaukee defeated West Milwaukee, Waukesha defeated Cudahy, and West Allis defeated Wauwatosa. In the sec- ond round Waukesha defeated South Milwaukee, Shorewood defeated West Allis and West Milwaukee defeated Cudahy. In the third round West Allis defeated Wauwatosa and South Milwaukee defeated West Milwaukee. In the semi-finals all but four schools had been eliminated. Vxfaukesha defeated West Allis and Shorewood defeated South Milwaukee. West Allis and South Milwaukee were eliminated in the semi-finals and so Waukesha and Shorewood played for the championship. Shorewood took the first game 13-15. Waukesha took the next two games l5-6 and l5-7, and with them the loop volleyball championship. The coach and players deserve a great deal of credit for the work they did and we trust that this victory is a sample of our athletic program next year.

The next opponent was Marquette High School, The game was played on l-laertel Feld Qunder the lightsl. The Marquette boys were heavily favored to win, but they were un- doubtedly very surprised when XVaukesha outplayed them in every respect and held them scoreless. Al- though the final score was O to O. it was a great moral victory for the Saubertmen. S s...- FEL IX BRUNI, Captain, During the next week of practice. the team seemed to get a new spirit and seemed to be clicking perfectly. By the time Friday night arrived it seemed to be in its prime condition and every player felt that Vxfaukesha was going to even the count with W'auwatosa in their second encounter of the season. However, something happened, and XVauwatosa won again, this time by a score of Z5 to 6. The lone Waukesha score was made by Golemgeske, who found a hole over right tackle and crossed the goal line after a short run. ln the last game of the season Waukesha played South Milwaukee. That day the boys played real football and won by a 6 to O score. The touchdown was scored early in the second quarter when Golemgeske, aided by beautiful blocking. swept around end for 39 yards and the score. South Milwaukee threatened to score late in the second quarter, but failed when the gun sounded, leaving the ball on the one-yard line. During the second half, Waukesha played safe and held South Milwaukee well in check so that the final game ended in victory. Considering all the handicaps of the team. and the unusually heavy and powerful teams it played. we can say well done to every player. is Campbell. Smith.

Basketball The 1932-33 basketball season for Waukesha High School proved to be very successful. Although the team did not succeed in winning the Suburban Confer- ence Championship. it did succeed in linishing the season in second place. Shore- wood. the title winner, was undefeated in the conference race, While Waukesha won all but two games. both of these being lost to Shorewood. NVhen the season opened. Coach Saubert was presented with the problem of building a team around three veterans, Captain Al Wenger, Gil Evans, and Chuck Robel. XVith a fair selection of material, the coach exercised his ability and developed a fine team which consisted of Captain Wenger at the center posi- tion: 'AChuck Robel. Harold Golemgeske. Roger DeLong, and Tom Price work- ing alternately at forwards: and Gil Evans, Roger Lumb, Jerry Biwer, and Har- vey Maas taking care of the guard positions. After losing a non-conference game to Marquette High School and a confer- ence battle to Shorewood. the team hit its stride and won all its following confer- ence games until Shorewood was encountered for the second time. In this game, which was played on the Shorewood floor, Waukesha was out of form and took it on the chin by a l7 to l3 score. However. this defeat was overshadowed by a great victory over West Allis some weeks before. The game was played at West Allis and the home team was heavily favored to win. But a lighting Waukesha team took the floor and at the end of the game the score stood 35 to 23 in favor of XVaukesha. This great game proved the lighting. determined spirit of the Wau- kesha aggregation. At the beginning of the second semester the team was materially strengthened by the addition of two new men, Jerry Schiffman and Spencer Klatt. Schiffman, a center. proved his worth in his second game by scoring eleven points after he had been substituted for Wenger, who was injured. Klatt, when inserted into the lineup as a foreward, also proved to be a valuable player, Page One Hundred Two
