EB LL The Panther baseball team of 1957 kept our recent yearly string of championships alive by copping the Southern Lakes' crown with a record of six wins and one loss in conference play and with an over-all record of six wins and four losses. Led by all-around athlete, Dick Timmer, who pitched all but one game and hit an astounding .6675 junior catcher, Jack La- Meer, who pounded the ball at a .423 clipg seniors, Bill Dutch Haase and Ed Skorag the Panthers were the surprise team of the conference. The four named above were the only returning lettermen and four other positions on the team were filled by boys who had never played high school ball be- fore. They were: Freshmen, Norm Ro- THE RECORD WILMOT 2 Antioch 3 0 St. Mary's, Kenosha 3 2 St. Mary's, Kenosha 4 9 Lake Geneva 0 8 Delavan 1 7 Mukwonago 1 12 East Troy 0 3 Whitewater 6 5 Elkhorn 3 5 Burlington 1 Tournaments WILMOT 3 Central 1 1 Lake Geneva 0 4 Hartland-Arrowhead 6 THE LINE-UP Dutch Haase Dave Van Every Don Amborn Dennis Stefen Jack LaMeer Gil Amborn Norm Robers Dick Timmer Ed Skora Subs Fred Cornell Lee Jeffers Harold Marcussen Frank Jacobs Frank Platts Jim Elwood bers, a third baseman who hit a shade over .3003 Dave VanEvery, 1st sacker, and soph- omeres, Don Amborn and Dennis Stefen. The ninth man on the team line-up was junior, Gil Amborn, a fine second baseman, who was elected next yearis captain. At the conclusion of the regular season, the Panthers won their own district tour- nament by beating Central three to one and by winning a game from Lake Geneva on a rainy day by the toss of a coin. The team's next opponent was Hartland-Arrow- head in the regional tournament and here we were turned back six to four. With six of the starters from this team returning, Wilmot fans and Coach Handke look for- ward to a very fine 1958 season of baseball. Page Seventy-five

The Panther trackmen of 1957 followed last year's wonderful record with another highly successful season. The Wilmot thinly-clads finished third in the Southern Lakes conference meet, and ended up with three champions in five events: Jim Bau- mann in the mile, Bob Horton in the half mile, and Irv Partenheimer in the shotput, discus, and the high hurdles. Irv was one of the best trackmen in Wilmot history, hav- ing scored four firsts in one event, against East Troy. Six men, Irv and Wally Par- tenheimer, Jim Baumann, Bob Horton, Bill Dutch Haase, and Dick Timmer quali- fied for the state meet at Madison. Irv scored a fourth in the high hurdles and Baumann a fifth in the mile, that high level of competition. The Panthers, led by Captain Wally Ro- sentreter, look to a good 1958 season and maybe some broken records from two jun- iors, Bob Horton and Wally Partenheimer.
