DR. WALTER E. MEANJELL

Regarded by many to be the greatest basketball coach of all time. A thorough
student of basketball tactics, and one of the finest teachers of fundamentals,
Hal exceptional success at University of Wisconsin, coaching Badger quintets
from 1912 to 1934 -- except for the World War period, when he served his country.

Meanweil's Wisconsin squads won Western Conférence‘championships in 1913, 1914.
and 1916, and tied for the crown in 1912, 1921, 1923, 1924 and 1929, His tears
of 1912 and 1914 were undefeated in Conference and Non-Conference play, Winning
15 games in each of the scasonse :

Dr. Meanwell's tcam of 1916 won 19 contests and dropped but 1.° In his first

-. Six years at Wisconsin, Dr. Mcanwell's quintcts lost but 8 games. Dr. Mcanwoll

tcams were always sttong on defense, being cxpertly coached. Evon during tho’
lsan Wisconsin years, Mcanwcll's hoop squads were stingy with opponcnt points.

Dr. Meanwell has written text books and many articles on Basketball, and also
dirested motion pictures on the Game. Has served the hoop game for many yoars
in an exocutive capacity. He has probably contributcd as much to the progress
of collcgiate basketball as has any others porsONne
