Recdsburg High School Receives
Record Trimming At the Hands
of the Local Aggregation

Witnessed a football game in Bara-
boo the Baraboo Blue Devils" wal
loped the scrappy Reedsburg High
school football team to a tune of
forty TO nothing. This is the worst
drubbing the lads from the Second
City ever received from Baraboo on
the BaraboO field. The day was ideal
and the event was the home coming
game of the year. The crowd en-
joyed the contest. Between halves
the pupils of both schools joined to-
gether on the field and did the snake
dance to the tune of the Baraboo
High School Band. The children
from both schools rollicked, skipped
and played in the most friendly man
ner. The spirit was ideal in be-
havior. Athletics really reaches it
full purpose when such examples Of
school spirit is shown. Baraboo
cheered all players who were hurt
in the play making no distinction
which school they represented.
Plays and Players
As to who was the out standing
player on the Baraboo team is a hard
matter to say. Never did the team
work show up better than in yester-
days game Captain Kasiska and
Wyatt played wonderful at the tack
les. The guards were Hayward and
Cooper an they held their ground
like the Rock of Gibraltar against
the terrific plunges and raining line
smashes of Warren and Murphy. At
the ends were McGinnis and Thomp-
son who were death on all attempts
at end runs Reedsburg chose to use.
At quarterback Sloniker played his
second full game and his choice of
plays and generalship on the field
was very good. At full back Collins
played a whale of game. His line
plunging was a grand sight to see.
His forward passing was near per
feet and on defense his work was
spectacular Pierce at center was
fine and at breakin up passes, he is
a whiz. The half backs, Duncan and
Boyd skirted around the ends and
off tackles for large gains, two by the
latter resulting in scores. The out
standing features of the game was a
twenty-five yard plunge by Kasiska,
a twenty-five end run by Collins, a
fifteen yard run by Mash, picked up
tumble by Hayward and a twenty
yard run for the first touch down, and
several others for distances that vari-
ed from five to fifteen yards.
Reedsburg was within the thirty
yard line but once during the game.
Men who were sent in t. relieve the
above were Simonson, Rueland, Gaf
ke, Jones. and Mash. Jones wasn't in
the game two minutes when he
smartly fell on the ball for a touch
down. The Baraboo scoring machine
was not impaired in the least with
the influx of substitutes. The touch
downs were made by Boyd two. Jones
one. Hayward one and Collins two.
Second High Team Wins
The Baraboo ponies whipped the
strong Mazamanie team by four
touchdowns. Those who played for
the local high were: Mould, Potter,
Gafke. Haycock, Curry, Harrington,
o. Caaoon, Bud Cahoon, Lehman. l..
and J. Bremen, Mash and Hill
Touch down Mash two, Mould one,
and Potter one.
Stage Parade
After the game the Baraboo High
school band followed by an old
hearse belonging to Melzl & MeGann
attached to the rear end of an auto
mobile led a parade in which the
pupils of the BarabOo High school
took part. On one side of the hearse
the following appeared:
X Reedsburg was a nice boy y
= until it met Baraboo y
and on the other:
y But now it's dead and gone y
underneath.
* Score 400 y
The hearse contained two persons
who loudly mourned for the "deceas-
ed" Reedsburg. The band played
while in town and tour OF the
business section and the south side
was made.
Adopt Mascot
Before the football games two vel
low and white cats were seen stray
ing about the field. Manager Louis
Rommelfanger caught one Of these

put on the animal which was adopted
as mascot for the team. Yellow and
white are Baraboo High school colors
