All Star Basketball Team.

Edgerton is awarded two positions on
the all star basketball team selected by
Director Angel of the Milwaukee Nor
NAL in charge of the recent interstate
basketball tournament. The first team
consists of:
Mcintosh, Edgerton, right forward.
Civilians, Eau Claire, left forward.
Christensen, Waukesha, center, capt.
R. Williams, Edgerton, left guard.
Cummings, Eau Claire, right guard.
SIN the selection of an allstate team
from the seventy or more participants
in the series of games, several of the
boys stood out conspicuously above
their fellows as athletes of unusual
ability and, while there might be some
difference in Judgment regarding the
ultimate selection of an allstate team,
the writer believes that the team of his
selection comprises the five best high
school players in the state.
I'm the forward position Mcintosh of
Edgerton, tall, cool and with deadly
eye, is the writer's first choice for for
ward. He led all other teams at Me-
nomonie with 81 points, and "a of these
points came from his IL baskets scored
from the U0iQ. he was d SOOU OG1GI-
sive player, as only one basket was
made against him in the four games in
which he participated.
''In looking over the guards one
player stood out conspicuously as the
finest performer during the three days
tournament. Rollie Williams of Ed
gerton showed varsity form in his de-
fensive work, skillful passing and es-
pecially in his effectiveness as drib-
bier. 1t was a great pleasure to watch
this young man play the game. He
was a hard fighter, continually missing
up the plays of his opponents and de-
spite the aggressiveness Of his attack
he played an absolutely clean game.
'sThe team selected, with Mcintosh
and williams as forwards, Christensen
as center and Williams and Cummings
at guard positions, form quintet that
splendidly represents the best in skill,
strength and craftsmanship, and each
boy is splendid exponent of the great
indoor game. E
Another Edgerton boy, Clarke, was
selected for the third team.

STATE BOARD UPHELD AGAIN.
But Judge Wilson Reads 1t Lesson in
Barre Injunction Case.

MONTPELIER, August g. Judge
Stanley c. Wilson at the conclusion of a
hearing held before him in Washington
county court dissolved the temporary in
junction granted Lewis & Cummings,
Barre druggists, forbidding the Barre
board of health from interfering with the
sale OF ice cream and sodas to be con
sumed on the premises.
Judge Wilson took the opportunity,
however, to say that he believed the
state board of health had for some time
used its powers rather arbitrarily and he
cautioned the board, which was repre-
scented by Attorney General Barber, not
to issue too sweeping orders as he be
lieved the public would observe more
willingly less stringent regulations.
Judge Wilson said he believed that
the board of health had gone step fur
Their than it ought to III the instance
under discussion, but he felt it his duty
to give the boar dthe benefit of the doubt
and uphold its action as performed by
the local board of health.
| Attorney Gordon represented the plain
tifis, Lewis & Cummings and he con
tended that more harm would be done by
people buying ice cream and drinks and

than to consume it in the clean and coo
