Friday morning the basket ball team
Went to Merrill and defeated the Mer-
rill team easily in a game of basket
ball Friday evening. The final score
was 25-13 in favor of Wausau. For
the first quarter of the game both
teams scored evenly. After this Wau-
sau got the lead and maintained it
throughout the rest of the game. The
score at the end of the first half ia
vored Wausau 1871. Allen found his
eye for the basket again and rang
up eleven points for Wausau. The
team work on both sides was good
and few long shots were attempted.
Long shots could not be made be-
cause of the low ceiling, and so the
teams were forced to work the ball
down to the basket for short shots.
Cotey was the star for Merrill and
played we'll defensively. The lineup
and points made by the players was
as follows:
Merrill-Zimmerma If; Close II;
Johannes. IF. 2; Bayer, C, 4; Wagner,

Friday evening the Wausau affirma-
tive debating team won 2-1 decision
over the Merrill negative team at the
high school auditorium. George Marth
the first speaker for the affirmative
was taken ill a few days before the
debate and his place was taken by
Erwin Marquardt Edward Kuhlman
and Dean Crawford were the other
two affirmative speakers who upheld
the proposition of the reduction of ar
maments. The Merrill team was COM
posed of Ritz Parker, Milton Leisman
and Laurin Sabatke. E. p. German
acted as chairman and the three
judges were E. NJ Brown, of Shawano,
Marshall c. Graft, of the University
Extension Division, Wausau, and M.
c. Winton, of Wisconsin Rapids. At
ter the debate, before the decision was
given, the Girls Special Glee club of
the high school rendered two songs
that were enjoyed by the hundred peo-
pie present.
At Marshfield the Wausau negative
team easily defeated the Marshfield
affirmative team. The decision was
80 in Wausau's favor. The Wausau
negative team is composed of Jackson
Taylor, Paul Mackmiller and Henry
Weisbrod A. P. Minsart, the chemis-
try teacher, accompanied the boys
to Marshfield This is the first time
in many years that both Wausau
teams have won, and much credit must
be given to Miss Olive G. Huss, the
debating coach.
The Merrill affirmative team won
from the Marshfield negative team by
a 80 decision. Wausau thus won in
the triangle and will enter the semi
finals for state honors. On March
10 these will be held. 1t is not def
nitely known who will be Wausau's
opponents, the affirmative team this
time, however will go away to de-
bate and the negative debate at home.

tional ornaments to the status of ade-
quate police forces within a period of
ten years is practicable.
