The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1920-03-05

games, winning two and losing one.
Last week Friday Coach Klontz took
his five on trip to Oconomowoc
where the high school team of that
city was played.
The game resulted in victory for
the Edgerton team, a score of 1919
being the outcome. The boys played
in a dance hall where a slippery
floor and a low ceiling made it diff
cult to use to very decided advan-
talge the pivot and loot shot which
has been so efficiently taught the
boys this year. The unfortunate con-
ditions under which the game was
played was more than made up for,
however, by the fine craftsmanship
displayed by the Oconomowoc team
and rooters. The Edgerton boys were
loud in their praise of 1.-The treatment
afforded them and of the splendid
school spirit which evidently exists
in Oconomowoc and which is so
APPARENT as indicated by the attitude
of the team and it's supporters when
an athletic contest is taking place. In
the Oconomowoc game the boys
showed no individual flashes of brill
fancy. Steady, consistent work by
every player won.
Oregon.
On Thursday of last week the
strong Oregon team came to Edger-
ton. Oregon came with a record of
victory over such teams as Univer-
sity High of Madison and the Com
mercial High of Whitewater. That
the local boys were not over conf
dent was shown by their careful
playing of the first quarter of the
game. Then Heller began to run
loose, Gessert was outjumping
center who lowered above him by
foot, Green was covering rebounds
like a veteran and Ogden Schofield
at guards were worrying the visiting
forwards by covering them so closely
that what shots were allowed were
so hurried that they were generally
missed. At the end of the first half
Edgerton had secured such substan-
tial lead that during the succeeding
period the local team did the bad
stunt of taking things easy, a stunt
one who watched Mr.. Klontz could
see was anything but satisfying to
the coach's favor. The members OF
the Oregon team were sportsman to
the last man. Clarence Mcintosh ref
creed the game and called but three
or four fouls because no more were
committed. The clean playing exhib-
tied in this game seems to be the
kind which satisfies an Edgerton
crowd.
EdgertOn Wins and Loses.
One of the activities of the local
high school that is not of such nature
as to receive much public appraisal
is that of public speaking. 1t is
phase of school work which requires
close and intensive preparation on the
part of the participants, the results
are invaluable to those contestlng.
Last week a debating team con-
sisting of Donald Lord, Willie Flair
itv and Chester Murwin, accompanied
their coach, Mr.. Porter, to Slough
ton to debate representatives OF that
school. These boys returned with an
unanimous decision in their favor. AT
the same time a team consisting OF
Harold Carrier, Arthur Cunningham
and Willie Odgen met the represent
atives of the Fl Atkinson school IN
Edgerton and were defeated by a I'M
anirnous decision. The Fort boys were
splendid orators and put up very
unusual debate The Edgerton argu-
ment was fully as strong as that of
the Fort but the delivery and general
effectiveness of the visitors won for
them.
Mr.. Porter is to be congratulated
upon the splendid work which he did
with those who were in his charge.
The boys are to be congratulated
upon the effort which was evidenced
by their presentation when the public
presentation of their arguments was
made.
GAINESVILLE.
The score 1913. Yes, at the end of
the first it was So, in Edgerton's
favor. It is true that we outplayed
the GAINESVILLE team the first half.
The best work displayed by Edgerton
this year took place on the difficult
GAINESVILLE court during that first
twenty minutes of play. Then the
