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

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.

Track The track season of l932 was fairly successful, although most of the boys were having their first track experience during that season. Al Kranzush, lsadore Cohn, Larry Knoebel and Fred Neumann succeeded in earning letters. Although Al Kranzush, one of the outstanding half milers in this state, has been graduated, there are still three letter-men remaining around whom this year's track team will be built. Some of the best prospects for this season are Spencer Klatt, Roger DeLong, and Angus MacDougall in the dashes, Bob Murray, Don Willison, and John Lewis in the hurdles. Dave Wolfe. Sherwin Mielke, and the Walker brothers in the distances, Jerry Schiffman in the high-jump, and Bill Smith in the shot-put. Although there seems to be little chance to capture the suburban title, the season has all indications of turning out very well considering the material. The track schedule is as follows: April 22, Marquette: April 27, with the Alumni: May 6, with Wauwatosa and West Allis: May l3, with South Mil- waukee and West Milwaukee: May 20, with Cudahy and Wauwatosa, and June 3, the Suburban meet. Waukesha, for the first time in three years, defeated Marquette. lt was an overwhelming defeat and thoroughly avenged the defeats of the preceeding years. Waukesha placed first in most of the events, besides gaining an overwhelming amount of seconds and thirds. The new material did much better under the stress of competition than was expected. The alumni defeated the school team in the second meet, which was more of a practice meet since only the best of the alumni competed. The Year Book goes to press too soon to print the results of the other four contests, although we are all hoping for the best. Most of the team this year consists of sophomores and juniors, who after their initial experience should show a great amount of improvement by next year. The weight events, namely shot put and discus, will be the only weak spots be- cause most of the boys in these events are seniors, although some of the material may develop unexpected skill and brawn by the next season. This pic- ture shows the start of the llO-yard high hurdle event. Bob Murray, third from the lcft. gained an early lead and maintained it as th ' e rate pro- gressed. Don XVillison, second from the right. and John Lewis, on the extreme left, also did quite well. Page One Hundred Three
