15e BUSHELS OF CORN PER
ACRE.

1t has remained for Oconto county
to set the pace in the race for maxi
mum corn production in Wisconsin.
In the 1914 contest a boy in that
county raised 159 bushels on an acre
of ground. 1t is true that the work
and fertilizer used was more than
would be the case in common field
practice on farms, but this tremend-
Gus yield shows that the upper Wis
consin counties are well within the
cornbelt, and that is the most i'm
portant feature of the contest.
A girl in that county made an ex-
cellent showing and sold part of her
crop for seed purposes for $3.50 per
bushel. We shall have TO give the
ribbon to Oconto county-at least for
awhile.

The most Clearly played game of
basketball the Stevens Point Normal
team has figured in this season was
played in the Normal gym Friday eve
ming, when the locals won over the
Wausau Highs by 45 to 30, says the
Stevens Point Journal.
The teachers acquired an early lead
and were never headed, although
Wausau scored first on a foul. The
score at the close of the first half was
II to 10. Pope of the Normal team
was the star point getter and all
around player. He negotiated eight
field goals and was constantly on the
trail o. the ball and feeding his
team mates. Beggs also played
stellar game for Stevens Point, while
Riebe was the "big gun" for Wausau
The Wausau team is about as lively
a high school aggregation as has been
seen in the city for several seasons
and was game from beginning to end.
Both teams were in splendid condi-
tion and as a consequence the game
was highly interesting-much more
so than the score would Indicate
Wausau has ambitions to enter the
state high school basketball tourna-
ment in the spring.
Following are the line-ups and sta
tistics:
Stevens Point - Peterson, Edes,
Kluck, Pope and Reilly, forwards;
Pope and Edes, center; Beggs, Edes
and Brady, guards.
Wausau-Riebe and Smith, for
wards; Pond, center; Hartlett and
Dooren, guards.
Field goals-Pope 8, Reilly 6, Edes
| 4, Peterson 2, Beggs 1, Riebe 5, Pond
3, BARTLETT 3, Smith L.
Foul goals-Edes /, Reilly 2, Riebe 7.
Fouls called-On Normals 16, on
Wsusau 6.
Referee &C. W. Cops, Stevens
Point.
The teams showing at Stevens
Point was great They did excep-
tionally well to hold the heavy and
more matured Normal team to as
close a score as they did. Next Fri
day evening the high school team will
play here for the first time this year.
The game will be played In the Y
gyrn. Everyone should boost the
game. Turn out and help the boys
WIN; they need the encouragement.
The game will be mighty close and
interesting, for Marshfield usually has
good team; but it's up to Wausau to
show them what school spirit we have
