The high school team added another
victory to its seasons record when it
defeated the RhinelandOr team at
Rhinelander by the score of 1910.
The game was fast and interesting
throughout the entire period and
every man on the team had 20 hustle
to keep the Rhinelander team from
piling up a score.
During the first half the game was
characterized by some brilliant work
of the Wausau forwards in basket
shooting. The guards held their men
in good shape and Rhinelander scored
only FIVE points in the first half while
the local team ran up score of II,
The second half started out with a
brace on the part of the Rhinelander
boys and for the first five minutes
the Wausau boys were unable to
score. They came back strong toward
the close of the game, however, and
when time was called the score was
80 to 10 in Wausau's favor.
The lineup of the two teams was
as follows:
