HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The mass meeting held Friday of
last week in the main hall at the high
school was full of pep and enthusi-
aSm. The meeting was addressed by
several OF the players who told what
they eXeptced to do to Amigo the fol-
lowing day. Among those who were
extra speakers on the program were
the following: some of the faculty,
Ted Schroeder of Milwaukee, who was
here on the county conference list of
speakers, Stella Zimmerer, a former
graduate, and last but not least, Mr..
Lean, the coach. The catchy part of
the program came when a little vau-
deVille stunt was put on by some of
the students, the object being to mar
ry Wausau to Miss Wisconsin Valley
Championship. Milo Mckinley took
the part of the bride; Frank Lille
qvist, the groom; Jack Smith, the
minister; Edward Diebel, the father;
Carl Spiegel, best man; and Norman
Cole, bridesmaid The rest of the
Athletic council acted as the guests.
Franklin Bump then announced that
there was going to be pep" meet
ing that night in the council chamber
at the city hall, for the purpose of
getting line on what Wausau was
going to do to Amigo. Several of the
business men were scheduled to talk
as well as the coaches and members
of the team. Carl Giesier led a few
cheers which brought the meeting to
a close.
Saturdays Game
The game played last Saturday be-
tween Wausau and Amigo at Recrea-
ton park was one of the most inter
esting games of the season. AS for
the day, it was ideal for the players
but little bit chilly for the on-look-
ers. A large number of people COM
ing over from Amigo helped bring
the number Of spectators near the
thousand mark. Though the Amigo
eleven had the home team outweigh
ed by few pounds the Wausau boys
showed up exceptionally we'll. The
general opinion was that the Wausau
team, working together with true
craftsmanship and team work, played
its best game of the season. Bump
and Bopf at ends held their jobs down
well. Ziebell, as usual, played a pro-
fessional game, while the rest of the
team worked together as a unit as
they had never done before, for which
the cOdcneS deserve creQlt. AT the
end of the first quarter the game was
a tie, seven to seven. Then Amigo
ran up twenty more points before
WauSau made its second touchdown,
making the score 27 to IA. After
hard-fought gain made through Wau-
sau's line, Amigo put the ball over for
a fifth touchdown, making the score
"a to IA. Time was called before
either side could score again. 1t was
clearly visible that if Wausau had op-
ened up on the forward pass in the
first part of the game as it did in
the last part, it might have been
able to score higher. Amigos gains
were made by their cleverly handled
cross bucks and their superb end
runs, which were made possible by
the first class interference. They were
also speedier than the home team. By
that we mean that their backfield was
on run by the time the ball was
passed to them either by the center
or quarter back. A dance was given
that evening at the High school gym
III honor of the Wisconsin Valley
champions.

LYNAUGH TO BE-
TRIED FOR lST
DEGREE MURDER

Matthew B. Lynaugh, Madison pat
rolman, who shot and killed Carl E..
Jandorf, university sophomore, May
%, was bound over for trial on a
charge Of first degree murder in the
superior court Thursday afternoon al
Madison following the prsaiminay
hearing which took all day. He was
admitted to bail of $4,000, which
was furnished by his two brothers,
Peter and John Lynaugh, and John
L. Pollard.
The trial was set for October 5
owing partly to the fact that most OF
the states witnesses are university
students who will not be in the city
until school opens, and because Judge
Hoppermann declined to call a
country jury during the busy sum-
mer months.
Following the conclusion of the
testimony Judge Hoppermann found
that an offense had been committed
and that "there is probable cause to
believe that Matthew B. Lynaugh
was guilty of said offense."

COMPANY TO
ASK FOR RAISE

The Wisconsin Telephone company
has decided to ask for an increase in
rates, the. present rates having re-
NAMED unchanged for several years.
A petition was signed by number
of patrons favoring a rate raise. The
petition will be presented to the rate
commission at Madison.
cit is our earnest endeavor to fur
nish good service in Baraboo" said Mr..
Wade L. Cash, Manager of the Wis
consin Telephone Company. RATES
must be charged that will enable the
Telephone company to meet the high
costs of labor and equipment in the
operation of the business. All we have
to sell is telephone service. Regard
less of the great increases in operat-
ing expenSes during thd past few
years, we have not asked for an in
crease in rates for the past twelve
years. In every direction we turn we
are confronted with the already high
and ever increasing prices. During the
war, while under government control
our reserve supplies were diverted to
war purposes. People have learned
to use the telephones more and more
under the pressure to save time and
overcome the help shortage.
"The result is that the growth in
demands for telephone service has
been phenomenal during the past
three years, which makes necessary
at Baraboo, additions to the toll and
local switchboards to meet these re.
quirements at present high prices.
"The operation of the Baraboo Elk
change has not paid interest on the
money invested in the property for
the year 1919 and it has shown an
actual loss thus far in the year 1920.
Eve feel certain that the telephone
use of the Baraboo Exchange will CO
operate with the company In a rate
schedule that will overcome this loss. "
