HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


High school basket ball team won its
first game of the season from Toma-
hawk by the score of 22-S. The Tom
ahawk five was only able to cage two
field baskets, one just before the final
whistle blew, but they made four
points on free throws. Close guard
ing on the part of Wausau and the
strangeness of the gym kept the Tom
ahawk score down. Wausau displayed
fighting spirit and in the second
half the boys showed some good team
work Allen, Wausau's captain and
center showed that he was still able
to keep the whole opposing team on
the jump. His floor work and ability
to cage baskets are great factors in
Wausau's success. Slocum put up
good fight at one of the forward posi-
tions. Patterson new man. showed
up well at the other forward posi-
tion Laabs had to go easy because
of his ankle but played nearly half
the game at PattersOn'S forward.
Quandt, another new man, showed up
well as an aggressive guard and
spoiled many of Tomahawk's chances.
Murchie worked at the other guard
position very we'll Next Saturday
Wausau plays Edgar at the local gym.
Edgar defeated Marshfield and is con-
sidered to have good team so the
contest should be very interesting.
