flaws and presented them in clear and
convincing manner.
While the judges were out Beatrice
Marsh gave very careful as well as
pleasing description of the Life and
Works of Goldsmith.
Last Friday evening the prettiest
double game of Basket ball ever played
on Wabeno floor took place as pei
schedule between the former undefeat-
ed Crandon High School and Grade
Teams and the respective High School
and Grade teams of our city.
1t was the most thrilling and exciting
affair on the part of players as well as
spectators since the first appearance of
the two-tailed comet. Right here
amidst our enthusiam) we apologize
to Crandon for any facts we may mis-
take and will allow their official score
keeper to chalk up two for each one
and assure you the Contendors for
Madison State honors will still be a
minus quantity.
We are placed in the position of Ike
Marvel in Dream Life" and so must
write brief prelude in order to take
the sting out of the obituary.
The remembrance of one year ago
last November when Wabeno played
her first game against so-called High
School and City aggregation from up
the Safe plus the distorted reports OF
our grounds etc. compels us to still re-
cord history. Basket Ball, like any
thing else requires experience, practice
and cOaching-Crandon had all then
we have part Of it now. Enough said,
what's the use of rubbing it in? The
history of Wabeno, like the ancestry OF
man, runs back to various dates. We
might start in with Adam or the origna-
tor of Basket Ball, or perchance with
Noah, but that would be gratuitous.
There is no call to initiate the illustri-
GUS example set by Washington Irving
when he made good old Diedrick Knick-
erbocker begin his history of New York
away back of the creation of the world
nor to initiate later the running of
Crandon's forward. Better observe
Slater jump into the air, haul down the
sphere and by knack known only to
Ray, swing it around Bartel's left ear

How many years ago the first white
man visited the region about Wabeno
is merely matter of conjecture and a
very hazy conjecture at that but there
was nothing hazy in the way Dana
Richardson described a peculiar curve
(name unknown) and the tally sheet
nodded, "plus two. please" Claude
Carter, steady, calm and sure covered
his opponent in such style that the
Crandon guard murmered to himself,
"Why did leave Oshkosh?" DuBrucq
and Stewart not only outclassed but
outplayed their husky opponents and
the way they ducked, sidestepped and
toyed with the sphere caused even the
loyal supporters to ask, From whence
do they Gomez"
Certain it is that far back of any
known Caucasion visitation or settle
ment-centuries, perhaps, representa-
tives of the allconQuering race looked
upon the same hills, breathed the same
air, and perchance, drank from the very
creeks which lend charm and put joy
into the lives of Wabeno people today.
This is no mere Pigment of fancy,
but is supported by evidence STRONG"
as proofs of Holy Writ. Harry Nc
Graw simply enjoyed life and was on
edge every moment of the game. The
playing in his corner of the arena re-
minded one of the novel ''To Have and
To Hold" in which Harry was "To
Have" and the young man up State
"To Hold"

The second Crandon team came pre-
pared to annex another game to their
long list of victories.
They dreamt, wondered and philoso-
phized. The only question before the
game was the size of Crandon's score
(?D.
AS time passed they were puzzled by
the mysteries that have enshrouded
boy life ever since time began.
To add to this gloom, the perfect
team work of the young quintet COM
posed of JAS. Russell, H. Therriault, B.
Moss, R. Du Brucq and Arthur Gerl
could not be broken down whenever a
ball shot across the hall they thought
we were enroute for Heaven-we were,
but the keeper" rung up fares, the
indicator increased by two's so what
could H enry do but toss it to James
via Bernard while Raymond and Arthur
mesmerized their corners and again the
Crandon Ave wondered who named the
flowers and by whom the forget-me-
nots wishes to be remembered.
1t was game of illusions and disil-
lusions, illusions that colored their for
