HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Next Saturday will be the biggest
football date in the history of this
high school Our old time rival, Grand
Rapids will play here and they will
be accompanied by big crowd of
rooters. The Grand Rapids team, ac-
cording TO reports, plays the same
style of game as does our team, the
open game, which is much more in
teresting to the spectator. This game
has always been considered the big
gest game of the season, and this
year there will be more rivalry than
ever, because of the interest shown
lately in both schools for the whole
school to get out and root and urge
their team to victory. Under Hidden
dorf, the Wausau high school has
developed into big noise, when at a
game. The Grand Rapids high school,
too, can yell some, and it will take
the whole school TO drown out their
big crowd, which we hear is coming
in full force.
Mr.. Hildendorf has been busy the
last couple of weeks in arranging new
yellS, songs and stunts for this game
and he plans monster mass meeting
Friday afternoon. The periods this
afternoon will be shortened and there
will be big doings. Members from
each class, from the team, from the
alumni and from the faculty will
make speeches. The band which has
been organized by Miss Lintz and
Mr.. Hildendorf for this occasion will
be there to lead the singing.
The students are reminded not to
forget their megaphoneS, pennants
and paper plumeS, but are requested
to refrain from using them at the
mass meeting. Before the game the
school will meet at the high school,
and with the band at their head
march thru town.
Amigo defeated the high school
team, last Saturday $50. While it is
admitted that Amigo has better
team this score does not represent
the difference in the teams. Coach
Schneider said that 60 would have
been representation of the respec-
tive strength of each team had all
the conditions been favorable and the
boys had played at their best. The
Amigo team considerably outweighed
our team and their style of playing
was altogether the old style of line
plunging. In the first part of the
game our boys were a little nervous
and the heavy, fast moving Amigo
team were able to gain considerably.
In the last quarter it was all Wau-
sau's way, for they ran the ball for
about 65 yards during this quarter,
nearly making touch down. This
week the whole squad is working at
their best in preparation for Grand
Rapids.
