Q1RLS UARS1T1] PERSONNEL Edna Kinney, captain and left forward. The opposing teams had Edna Spotted and used their heaviest guaids to stop her. Greased lightning is hard to stop and so was Edna when she got the ball. Marie Kroonemeyer, center. We were in luck when Marie came to W.S.H.S. for she was just the person the team needed, a tall center. What’s more, she can do some tall playing. Ida Bechtold right forward. In addition to her good game at forward; Ida could be relied upon to take any place on the team successfully. Ruth MacDonald and Marjorie Quackenbush, guards. No matter how fast or slippery the forwards, our guards were hard to dodge. Elsie Krickman sub. We are glad that we have at least one good player to leave for next year’s team. Elsie plays well at any position. Much credit is due to Miss Lorene Pfaff who helped coach the team this year. 26

Viroqua 5-—West Salem 2 The Viroqua team brought along about seventy-five rooters, who made the game quite a festive occasion. The game was unusual in that both teams had extremely hard luck in basket shooting. Although averaging much smaller than the Viroqua boys, Salem fought them to a stand still and in many ways outplayed them. Captain Jostad’s fine floor work and brilliant handling of his team made him easily the outstanding star of the ten men on the floor. It was anyone’s game and the defeat carries no disgrace. West Salem 11 Bangor 3 Having won the first encounter with its rivals, the team was keen on trouncing Bangor again, a feat never before accomplished. Jostad started the score early with a beautiful long shot. Diefenthaler’s free throw was the only other point made in the first half. In the last half, Jostad, Diefen-thaler and Oaks all contributed points for an easy victory. Let’s hope the jinx is permanently broken. West Salem 16—Norwalk 10 On February 22nd the team played Norwalk at Norwalk and won another hard fought game. Harris led in points, scoring three field goals. Jostad made two baskets and a free throw. Holmen 12—West Salem 5 Holmen was the adversary in the final game of the season which was p’ayed at home. West Salem held its own during the first half but toward the end of the game Holmen’s advantage in size began to tell and they won the game. Prospect for 1924—25. The only man that will be lost by graduation is Duane Diefenthaler, speedy center and forward. Conrad Jostad, captain, and center, will be here next year. His dribbling, shooting and passing were the winning factors in most of our games. Luther Fox and Francis Oaks, as dependable and fighting pair of guards as ever played at Salem, will be with us again. Oaks is a Sophomore and Fox a Junior. Roland Norris and Kenneth Harris, fast as lightning and good shots, will be right there. Norris has another year and Harris has two more. Besides these veterans there is an abundance of promising material. Mr. Thompson who has coached the team two successful seasons will also be back next year. Altogether the prospect for the coming year seems unusually bright. 25
