Platteville high school students who
won the basketball tournament here
and who were to take part in the
state meeting at Madison Thursday,
will not go. Monticello challenged
the eligibility of the Platteyille team
on account of the age of the boys. 1t
seems that Monticello had obtained
some information as to the age of the
boys from the register of deeds at
Lancaster The information was not
correct. However, the age of each
member of the Platteville team had
to be proven. 1t was supposed that
Mahr of the Platteville team was but
nineteen. The family Bible and
Mahrs mother agreed with Mahr on
his age, but church records showed
that he was one year older. Month

tournament and will take part in the
state tournament as Cuba City will
be challenged on account of certain
rulings.
