HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The high school basket ball team
played the first game of the season at
Tomahawk last Friday evening. The
game is of interest as regards the
prospects for Wausau in basket ball
this season. The game was a much
more of runaway for Wausau than
the score, 1922 would indicate, for
out of Tomahawk's % points Is were
made on free-throwS, one upon gift
and only three field baskets were
made. A very large number of fouls
81 in all were called upon our boys by
the Tomahawk man, who acted as
umpire and who insisted upon an ex-
tremely Gladly like game. One of the
questions asked our fellows was, "Do
they play as rough in the colleges as
you doT' The fact that Tomahawk
made but three tield-baskets shows
the game our guards, the Ramsdells,
put up. Their playing is as good as
ever with the added experience of a
year. Piper, the veteran forward has
improved upon the fine playing which
