C.H.S. BASKETBALL Play Tournament at Oregon WITH Hve returning lettermen and a large turnout of candidates, Coach Ritzman was able to mold a fast, smooth basketball team. 'Playing their first season in the Rock Valley league and meeting the strongest opponents in the Hrst part of their schedule, the College High boys did not fare so well at first. About the middle of the season the team found themselves, and, Mr. Ritzman's new style of basketball becoming more familiarized, began to roll up some victories. Ending the season with four victories and six defeats, the team turned its atten- tion to the district tournament at Oregon, Wisconsin. Their first game they defeated the favorite, Belleville, 32-29 in an overtime battle. After a heated and close game, their next foe, Verona, dropped in a basket in the final minute to down C.H.S., 30-29. The following night the College High team played Oregon for third place, and again lost by the narrow margin of one point, 19-18. , THE Quaker Preps lose by graduation: Jim Henderson, Morris Essock, Hubert Hackett, John Bumbalek, Charles Hill, Donald Gehri, and Frank Witkunski. Hubert Hackett was the league high scorer. Raymond Barth, the manager, also graduates this year. SEASON'S RECORD C. H. S. . 15 Vikings 25 C. H. S. . . . 13 Marshall . 17 C. H.

With our limited enrollment College High will probably suffer many lean years for this reason. WITH the entrance of College High in the Rock Valley Conference, en- thusiasm ran high before any league games were played. With a new coach, Mr. Fritz Ritzman, College High was as- sured of a new deali' in athletics. Ably assisted by Thane Klug, former student coach, Mr. Ritzman started the season with a squad of thirty, including five v . lettermen. A E lose nine men by graduation. They include Captain Hubert Hackett, Morris Essock, John Bumbalek, Donald Gehri, Frank Witkunski, Lawrence Buen- ing, Charles Hill, Harold Calkins, and Reuben Bushey.
