Human Stature Unchanged.

The stories of the pygmies go with
the fables of the giants. The men of
ancient times were of the same, or
nearly the same, height as those Of
the present day. The doors of an
cient houses ancient armor, the Egyp-
ton mummies, as well as the fossil
bones of men, prove that there has
been little or no variation.
Among famous tall men was the
Roman Emperor Maximin, whose stat
ure was seven and three-quarter feet.
Maximin was a young barbarian, the
son Of a Gothic father, who tirst at
tracted the attention of the Romans
by overcoming sixteen Of the strong
est men, one after another, In a
wrestling match, and, having been
made a centurion, he fought and in
trigued his way to the imperial
throne.
The normal stature Of men and
women ranges between five feet end
six feet four inches.

The Height of Man.

There is no evidence that men have
ever had a greater average height
than they have now. For long time
there existed In France, near the
junction of the Jsefe and RhODe riV-
ers, deposit Of gigantic bones known
as the "giants' field" In recent times
bones have been exhumed there which
were believed to be human and were
said to be those Of Teutobodus, the
king Of the Teutons, who were over
come near the spot by Marius, the
Roman general.
The researches Of Cuvier proved,
however, that these bones, together
With all the others exhumed in the
same place, were those Of an extinct
animal of the tapir species, which
measured about twenty feet in length.

KEN0Sha STrAMPS HIGH SCHOOL
TEAM

Led by Newberry, who Gagged the
most baskets and Robinson, stellar
guard, the Kenosha High School ouin-
tet defeated the local High School
Basketball team by the overwhelming
score of 56-14. The Kenosha five are
3 wonderful team and are able to sink
the ball from any angle.
The Wauwatosa FIVE started ont in
ilne shape and in a few minutes were
leading, 6-2. But it wasn't long be-
tore the kenosha men found their eve
and the quarter found them leading.
l4-S. The local teams were unable TO
break through their five-man defense
ana the baskets were the results Of
long shots by Eggert, Kolb and G.
Schmidt. The rest of the half was 4
slaughter Newberry and Robinson
scored almost at will. The ball was
seldom in Wauwatosa hands. The half
found the score 29-S, the home team
being unable to score in the second
quarter.
The second half was a repetition of
the second quarter. The score was so
one-sided that it was no longer inter-
esting Nothing, it seemed, could stop
the machine work of the Kenosha
team. The Wauwatosa men played
entirely on the defense, Eggert, and
G. Schmidt doing some very fine work.
Difficult shots by Williams and Egqert
boosted our score to Ii, where il
stayed. Kenosha made it So before
the final whistle blew.
The Wauwatosa team played hard
game, but were defeated ny a very
much superior team. Something was
lacking in the teamwork, shooting, and
individual floor work of the Wauwa-
toEa team. The bunch will now work
hard all week to correct these faults
and stage a comeback this Friday at
West Allis. The team is strengthened
very much by the return of Capt.
Muellner to the line up and the total
strength of the team will be pitted
against the West Allis FIVE. The game
will be played in the large new gym
nasium at West Allis High School and
it will be the fight of their lives if
the team is to avenge the lacing re-
ceived in football.
In the preliminary contest, the Wan
watosa High seconds went down TO de-
feat before the Grand Avenue Congre-
gational Church team by score of 16-
10. The game was not very well
played, but the score was always close
and the affair was much more exciting
than the after event. Koepp and
Spinti did the best work for the sec
onds, while much of the success Of the
G. A. c. may be attributed to the
shooting of their entire team.

JUNIOR LEAGUE

The Nonpareils forged ahead in the
Junior League race. They defeated the
Bohnert's Togs IT'S, while the Car
dinas did the unexpected and defeated
the Lpchow's 1913. This forces the
Lipchow's into second place while the
Cardinals step into third place. The
Bohnert's Togs bring up the rear.
The Nonpareils had little trouble
with the Toys The addition of new
material did not phase the league Lead
ers who outplayed their opponents at
every angle Of the game. The Car
dinals did not have such an easy time
with the Lipchow's. The Cardinals
stepped right out from the start and
through the work of Knauber were
soon in the lead, go Cardinals ahead,
Oil. The second half was nip and
tuck. The Cardinals stood the pace,
and won out, 1913.
