THE ToMAH GAME.
The high school team arrived home
Sunday noon from Tomah, where they
were defeated by the score of 1910.
A score go would show the relative
strength of the two teams better
Wausau's offense was much better than
that shown at Amigo, and on the de-
fit of a weeks work, Tomah making
first down very few times.
The first half was largely a punting
contest. Tomah's backs showed good
speed in running back punts, otherwise
the kicking game was in favor of
kraatZ Moreover, Lake was made to
tumble one of Vincent's high ones, and
and one of Kraatz's efforts was blocked,
giving Tomah the ball on our ten-yard
line, where they scored in three more
plays. Goal was kicked, and the half
ended
In the second half Tomah received
the kickoff and by series of clever
end runs combined with good kicking
and returning of punts worked the ball
well into Wausau's territory. Here
blocked one of their kicks and
Anthem secured the ball near the centre
of the field. From here Wausau began
a good attack, Scholfeld carrying the
ball around right end for good gains,
until an injury to his knee put him out
of the game. Speer took his place.
Two trys at the line failed, and Kraatz ;
punted, Vincent sent the ball back |
from fair catch to Speer, and soon |
after Wausau punted. On the next
play by Tomah, Donovan was sent
around right end behind fine interior
ence, seventy yards for the final touch |
down. Vincent booted the ball be- |
tween the post, raising the score to 10 |
points.
From the spectators standpoint the
game was of much greater interest
than the old style of football. The
frequent punts and the consequent
scattered, open play, made better
features than the series of mass plays
SO common last year. Scarcely any
time was taken out for injuries
The feature of the game most dis
agreeable TO the Wausau boys was the
extreme discourtesy of the Tomah
crowd to its visitors. The hoodlum
element in that city seems to be in the
and beyond control by the
school management. To be hoOted at
and jostled by a crowd of roughs,
we were officials, subs, or
injured players, is not pleasant ex-
perience. 1t is our opinion that Tomah
might gain a more enviable reputation
as a town by policing her public games,
If necessary, to secure spOrtsmanlike |
treatment for her guests. Admitting !
simply that we were beaten by superior
playing, and finding no fault with our
treatment by the school officials, we
must remark that any lumber town of
the "barbarous North can exhibit
more fairness and courtesy to visiting
teams
The boys came home in good condi- |
ton, with the exception of Capt Schol-
field, who will be in the game in a day
or two, however For ''green" team,
the development has been rapid since
the season opened. Lake at quarter
showed well in handling the ball, hav-
ing had just four days practice in that
position. Jones played his usual strong
game and Mormon is fast becoming
strong half-back. Our tackles were
commented upon as the strongest en-
countered by Tomah for some time,
while our ends let only one man escape |
them. Wegner was a tower at center,
and the best lineman in the game. |
Gains over guards were short and at |
no time was our quarter hampered by |
men breaking through the line.
Capt. Vincent Of Tomah, supported |
by two strong half-backs, played a
strong game, and Tomah's victory is
due to the fast work of these three eX
perienced players.
Stevens Point comes here Saturday,
and the boys are confident of winning
