HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

On Friday of last week the entire
student body of the high school met
in the main room to give their team
good send-off before they went into
the game that night, also to get an
hidea of what the various players
thought of the game and its prospects.
If the. game had turned out according
to the speakers viewpoint the score
would have been up into the thou
sands and all the Point players would
be incapable of moving. Representa-
tfyes from the various classes were
called upon and also few of the
faculty. Cheers were led by the school
leader, Carl Giesler. The mass meet
ing ended. after Mr.. Painter had made
a few remarks.
The basket ball teams of the Stevens
Point High school and the Wausau
High school met Friday evening of
last week in the Y. NJ c. A. gymnasi-
um. The local players have two
games to their credit which helped
to a third victory. From various
viewpoints it seems that the Point
team is the weakest it has been for
many years. Two preliminary games
were played before the scheduled
game. one between the Freshman and
Stratford teams; the other between
the q. P. team and the End High
school team. The second team was
by little the best and very naturally
won over their opponents by three
points. The final score was. ,eightmto
I'VE in favor of the high schol squad.
The game between the Stratford boys
and freshmen was played mostly upon
their hands and knees. The visiting
team managed to tie the score along
in the early part of the game but were
unable to keep up their score after
that. The final score was ten to six
in favor of the Freshmen. The line
ups OF the preliminary teams read as
follws:
Freshmen-Guards, Adams and Pat
terson; Forwards, Quandt and Witick;
Center, Patterson.
q. P's-Guards, Wetzel and Giessel:
Forwards, Goldstein and n. Rick, Cen
ter, Rick. Sullivan, Sub.
Stratford-Guards, Rifleman and
Keller; Forwards, Gates and LANCER:
Center, Lawonax Sub, Drummer
High School Seconds Guards, Bea-
tie" Bopf; Forwards, Goldstein, Allen
and Larson, Center, Boehm.
There were only few minutes of
play before the first basket was won
by one of the Stevens Point players.
but 1t took less time for the Wausau
boys to make their first two points. N
Wausau then took the lead and kent
1t throughout the entire game. If all
the shots that the home team trtited
could have couned, the score would
have been enlarged five times that of
the actual score. The Point PLAYERS
were kept away. from their own bas-
ket most or the time, the result being
that only two field shots were made,
which entities the Wausau guards to
much credit. The points made BY the
Wausau five were due largely to short
shooting, except for the last few min
utes of play. The Wausau players did
not make as good a showing as they
did in either of their previous games
on account OF too much trough stuff"

This third victory brought us one
notch nearer to the valley basket ball
A very good old-time
crowd witnessed the game with much
pep and enthusiasm being displayed
The team will have open dates for
the next two weeks, the reason for
this being that our season opened
early and before the rest of the
schools in the valley This outline of
the various games won by the differ
ent teams throughout the valley is
proof enough that our local team has
splendid opportunities to the valley
Let's all back them as
they are trying to do their best. Let's
go.
