.BARABOO Y.M.C.A.
TEAMS VICTORIOUS

Last Friday evening two North Free
dom basket ball teams arrived in Bar
aboo on the 4:20 train to compete with
two Y M. C. A. basket ball teams. The
first contest was between the Junior
boys of North Freedom and the Junior
boys of Baraboo. Those representing
the North Freedom team were Barken-
hagen. Pawlisb, RagatZ, Apker, Buzzo
and Smith. Those representing the
Baraboo junior team were Beuhler, Du
Bots, Fellows, Duncan, Parrish, Neubau-
er, Hansen, and Briggs. The contest
was sure full of pepp from the begin
ming to the finish, and while the team
was made up Of the smallest and
youngest members of the Y. MICA.
it was just as interesting and exciting
a game as though Harvard and Yale
were clashing. The final score was
to 20 IN favor Of Baraboo.
The second contest was between the
senior Bible class boys of the 7. M. c.
A. and the North Freedom City team.
Those representing the village team
from North Freedom were Cealey, Voll,
Foulkes, Dipple, Pawlisch. Those repre-
senting the Senior Bible class team of
the Y. NC. A. were Hathaway, Mar
quette, Rooms, Osthoff, Frazier, Hill, and
Evenson. This contest was not slo W
by any means, and each ,eam earned
every point they got. This makes a
game piece for the teams, each team
winning on it's own floor. And now
for the ub, which may have to be play
ed on a neutral floor. Otto Pawlisch
starred for North Freedom in making
the most points but committing the most
personal fouls. Carl Marquette
starred fer Baraboo, in making the
most points for his team and not COM
uniting a single foul. The officiating
was in charge Of Lester Harvey for the
juniors and E. Terry for the seniors,
both of whom did splendid work in Civ
ing fair decisions and did not hesitate
n cutting out the unnecessary roughness
which is bound to crop out in fast
teams, and especially where the playing
space is limited.
