High School Notes

to see the Stevens Point game. All
but one member of the basketball
team made the trip.
The cheering done by the school
under the able direction of cheer
leader Badger was feature of the
tournament. Such school p i r i
wouldinspire any team to play their
best.
Glenwcod and Cumberland had
strong all-around teams. Cumber-
land was handicapped by having
played game the night preceding
the tournament on the New Rich
nond floor.
Snodgrass went in during the last
FIVE minutes of the Clear-Lake game
and made three baskets. He dupli-
Gated the trick in the Baldwin game,
making two; but Ellsworth was too
wise to be caught mapping.
The b i & guard from Baldwin,
Hawley, was the spectacular player
on the floor. He made shots from
all angles and at least once copied
a two score while living on the floor.
He and Garlid were the whole team.
Mr.. Kuranz made good point at
the Monday morning talk when he
said that home reputation is after
ali what we most desire. All who
witnessed the game know how our
boys can play. Perhaps that's re-
putation enough.
Coach Peterson picked three Of
our men for the first team. We ac
cept the election and nominate two
Of his men for the other positions,
Reed was selected as one forward
and Kreu9er should have been sell
ected as the other.
The little New Richmond a m
were certainly fighters. They con-
tested every inch of the floor and
kept up their pep till the final blow
Of the whistle Their forward was
a wonderful dribbler but failed too
often to connect with the basket.
Five field baskets to our credit,
four to winning team. A whole half
with no field baskets, and this done
to the team that won third place in
the state tournament last y e a r,
Looks as though that in another
year Coach Kuranz will slip up to
first place.
Remember the debate Tuesday,
March 90 The judges are Mr.. Kar-
9es Of the local Normal, Mr.. Nc.
Quarry Of the Galahad school and
one member of the faculty from
Humboldt high school of ST. Paul.
The admission will be 10c for the
students of both schools and 15c for
others.
The lucky shot made by Reed
from two-thirds the length of the
floor punCtured our hopes of at
tending the Menomonie Meet. 1t
came when the score was tied and
with but few minutes left to play.
Smith threw one more free throw
but the whistle blew with the lucky
shot holding Ellsworth In the lead. |
