Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1914-03-17

liere was no Sunudy Afternoon
Fireside meeting at the Y. A week
ago one had been planned but because
of the exceptionally small number
out it was postponed f. w. Bran
denhurg had prepared to give an adj
dress on the orator, Wendell Philips"
and this will probably be given next
Sunday or within several weeks.
H. 1. Crawford and g. w. Branden-
burg arranged a so-called Treasure
Hunt" which was carried out on Sat
urday afternoon. There were about
five stopping places. Mr.. Branden-
burg and Mr.. Crawford had gone the
rounds in the morning putting tags
at each place which gave directions
to the participants as to the next
place for them to go. There were
four groups that went out in the af
ternoon, three of junior boys and one
high school bunch, and everyone had
a hard time finding the tags besides a
good run. The route was from the y
out around the ball park, which looks
so lonely, then out towards the hos
pital and through the fields there
finally turning and coming out on
Wausau avenue. The mud was very
bothersome and on Wausau avenue
the boys had TO jump across a stream
at least four feet wide and running at
a pretty good rate toward the sewer.
This is the first of series of hikes
and runs that will be taken annually
by the Y boys, as soon as the ground
| dries out little.
The high school boys club held its
| weekly dinner last Tuesday evening
in the Y dining rooms. There was
very good attendance. The members
of the high school basket ball team
were the guests of honor at the sup
per and following the same, coach
Wo'F gave short talk, and he was
followed by Lowell Goodrich. Every
member of the team that was present
then said few words on a subject
proposed. The groups will hold sup
per and discussions this evening.
An attempt is being made to
secure a new tennis court in place Of
the one now in use and which is in
pretty poor condition. The cement is
rough and tennis shoes are gone be-
fore one realizes it. The balls are
also v orn unnecessarily. This causes
extra expense to the players and so
several have gotten together and are
planning to secure financial aid from
those interested and to put a tennis
court facing north and south, instead
of east and west and on the east side
of the large field. On the west side
of the field a volley ball court for the
men will be put in. This will be
something new to our men and should
prove very popular al !g the elder
members. This is an improvement
which has been greatly needed for
several years and it is something
which is really necessary to the keep
ing up of the Y grounds. There will
be plenty of room to the north of the
volley ball and tennis courts for indoor
base ball for the younger boys and
their numerous games. Russell Starke
physical director, says that he is going
to begin tennis tournaments as soon
as the court is in condition; or, if
new one is put in, as soon as it can be
finished.
In the Saturday afternoon basket
ball tournament which has been going
on for some time, the Northwestern
team secured first place by being vic
torious III their game last Saturday.
They will be awarded beautiful cup.
Lawrence Ketchell will give an adj
dress at the y next Friday evening
on "The National Glacier Park"
This will be travelogue and besides
the many beautiful plates which Mr..
Ketchell will base his talk h, there
will Je some unique motion pictures
