■Athletics) Football Team The 1939 Football Season The football team lost to Jefferson and St. Catherine early in the season, but did better after those first two games. They improved with practice and defeated Walworth. Edger-ton. Minnesota and Indiana and tied Michigan. The Minnesota Game We won over the Minnesota team by three touchdowns, scored by Fitch. Kessenich and Kay Boettcher. Fitch made an extra point after touchdown, so the game ended 1!) to 0. The Indiana Game October 1 1 th our boys went to the Indiana School for the Deaf. They found it difficult to score, but in the final quarter Hecker carried the ball over the goal line. The kick for the extra point was low and wide. The boys had an enjoyable trip and returned here Sunday afternoon. The Michigan Game In its final and homecoming game W.S.D. tied Michigan. Due to eight men being missing from the squad and Fitch having been in the hospital with a bad leg since the Indiana game, the team was greatly weakened. Fitch made a touchdown when several Michigan boys swarmed over him. on an attempt to pass. Me dodged them and made a fifty yard run to the goal. Michigan scored in the final quarter and threatened to score again but an intercepted pass spoiled their chance. As neither team made the extra point after touchdown, the game ended 6 to 6. Raymond Rasmus was named for center on an All American team and Clarence Fitch was placed at half on the second team. The Season’s Record W. S. IX W. S. I). W. S. I), w. S. D. W. S. 1). W. S. 1) v.

Meeker The 1939-40 Basketball Season Our team showed improvement in shooting, but their defense was weak and their passing, while it improved as the season went on. never was first class. We had two overtime games with St. Catherine. St. Catherine beat us in the first game, but we won the second. A new scoring record was made in our game with Me Henry. Seventy two points broke the record of 61 made against Missouri in the 1938 tournament. A total of 108 points were rung up by both teams and that is another record. Hecker, also broke the individual scoring record by making 33 points. An odd thing about this one sided victory was that the first quarter score was 11 to 14.
