HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

ago last Friday in the game with Stew
ems Point. The season on the whole
has been successful, with record of
four games won out of six played. The
defeat of Grand Rapids is the only
thing that is lacking to have CON-
pIeteiy successful season. The other
game that Wausau lost was at Stevens
Point but the result of the game did
not truthfully show the strength of the
two teams, as the conditions under
which the game was played were a
handicap &c the Wausau players. The
other four sames on Wausau's schedule
were won easily by Wausau.
The first game played at Merrill ended /
with the score of 26 to 10. Marshfield /
was the next team to lose to Wausau by
ascore of 21-lS. The third game SEIZED |
uled was with Rhinelander but they |
would not play Wausau and game |
with Wittenberg high school was put in |
its place. Nuremberg was hopelessly |
op.classed. The score for that game |
was 57-20.
The fourth game was with Grand |
Rapids and Wausau lost this game, not |
because the Rapids team could play |
better ball but because they were |
larger and heavier team. This game
resulted in the score of 1921.
The following Friday, Wausau defeat
ed Amigo, 1928, in the closest and fast
est game of the season. The last game
with Stevens Point was lost only be-
cause W ausau was not accustomed to
play in a gymnasium as narrow as the
one used. Wausau lost by six points
21-16.
The team this year was composed of
Sipes and johnson, forwards, Lampert,
center and. Mcconnell and Mumm,
fr.,a xsAc nnln oh 49,
up was during the last ten minutes of
the Merrill game when Foster was put
in guard to finish the game
johnson and S;pes, the point win ning
part of the team, have played the two
forward positions together for a Num-
/! Der of years and consequently the tenn
work around Wausau's basket was al
ways good. Sipes rarely shot as many
baskets as johnson in a game but he
| was in the team work all the time
johnson did most of the free throwing
for the team although Sipes and Nc
Council did some.
LamperJ, captain of the team, played
his first year at center. He has always
been noted for his lucky shooting and
this year was no exception. lie geaer-
| ally jumped over his man at center;
was always in the team work; and
+, guarded his man well.
| 1t is to the two guards that Wausau
owes good deal of the success of the
| season as they held the forwards play
| ing against them down to very low
| scores. The largest number of baskets
| made against the Wausau guards in
| one game was seven. This shows how
close Mumm and Mcconnell stuck to
| their men.
Stone, Smith and Foster were the
| three substitutes Foster was the only
one that played in any of the games
i He played short time III the Merrill
game.
A good deal of the credit for the sue
cess of the team is due Mr.. Schneider,
who coached the team. He was out
every night and worked hard for
| winning team.
The team has good prospects for next
year as only two, Sipes and Mumm
graduate. This year a lot of good
material has been developed in the
Junior and Sophomore classes and the
competition ought to be strong enough
to get out fast team next year.
there was no school in any of the
public schools yesterday as it was
Washington's birthday and legal
holiday.
