The Wausau High school basketball
team returned home Saturday evening
from West Green Bay, where they
were defeated in a game of basket
ball Friday evening. The game was
a fast and very close one and hard
fought From The outset it was ap-
parent to the basketball enthusiasts
that whatever might be the result
there was to be no laying down" on
either side. The score was 80 to SO.
This was without doubt the best game
of the season. The outlook for the
WauSau fellows looked favorable until
the last five minutes when Butten-
hoff made four personal fouls. The
game was very we'll played by both
teams and they showed splendid work.
The Green Bay coach stated that the
Wausau team was the hardest they
had run up against this season, and
admitted if both teams played on a
neutral floor that the Wausau fellows
had a mighty big chance of coming
out ahead. The following fellows
played: Jensen and Buttenhoff, for
wards; Hess. center; Leak and Schnei-
der, guards. Douville played for
awhile in place of Buttenhoff. Frey
and Grauer also went along with the
boys. Besides Coach Thompson and
his players, S. Empey, A. Belize and
Harry OSWALD attended the game
Enroute home the boys stopped at APP
pleton Saturday, where they were Wis
itorS at the Y. M. G. A. and Lawrence
college, returning home that evening.
Next Friday Appleton plays the
Wausau team here. Last week the
Lawrence officials stated that Apple
ton was not out of the tournament,
and since defeated Stevens Point, &c
to 10* If Wausau wins from Appleton
Friday evening, it will give the local
team an opportunity to play some
elimination games and enter the tour
nament. Wausau still has a chance.
They have lost three games so far
this season. The first with Witten-
berg, was tie and the overtime play
went to their opponents. At Grand
Rapids the fellows were handicapped
on account of the small floor, and at
West Green Bay they lost by q very
close margin. Next Friday there will
be rouslng mass meeting. A good
crowd should turn out for FRIDAYS
game. There ought to be more bas-
ketban enthusiasts in Wausau.
The pupils from the fifth to the
eighth grades, inclusive, are busy
drawing automobiles of various kinds,
trucks. parts of these machines, etc.
a local contest on automobile draw
lngS will be held in which all pupils
taking part are very much interested
Some very good drawings are being
made for this contest.
This year the girls of the graduating
class are going to wear plain white
shirtwaists and skirts at commence
ment The expensive gowns OF georg-
cite, fancy silks, etc, are to be barred.
Ii is expected that the future sweet
girl graduates of the local school will
adopt this plan. Too much time has
been taken in the past by the girl
graduates in planning and getting
their gowns ready for the big event.
and this will also relieve the mothers
and undoubtedly make them happy,
while the fathers will also rejoice on
account of the heavy expense connect
ed with the elaborate gowns of the
past.
