BASKET BALL
b. H. S. FACULTY VS. W. H. S.
FACULTY

The Bryan High School faculty
team came to Wauseon last Saturday
evening to give battle to the w. H.
S. faculty team which had over
whelmingly defeated them some time
ago on their own floor.
The early evening was devoted tol
banquet in honor of the Bryan
team, but we suspect that the Wau
seon "schoolmasters" enjoyed the re-
past as fully as did Bryan.
At 500 o'clock the players met and
got down to business. Bryan showed
that they had been doing considerable
training and hustled our "Profs," to
hold their end of the score ahead. To
give the players little breathing
spell the game was played in quar-
ters. Final score Wauseon Faculty 20
Bryan Faculty, II.
A hotly contested preliminary game
was played between the All-Stars and
the Reserves, two High School teams,
the All-Stars winning by the close
margin Of Is to IA.
WauseOn Hi at ArchbOld
| Tuseday evening the Wauseon High
first and second teams, accompanied
by car load of fans went TO Arch
bold, via the T. and l., to battle the
High School players of that village.
i Wauseon lost both games, the Re
serves by score of 26 to and the
Varsity 27 to 10.
Archbold's second team outclassed
Wauseon's second aggregation and
kept them on the defensive most of
the time. Our youngsters played
better than the 26 to A score indicates
but the excellent basket shooting OF
the Archbold lads accounts for the
one-side score.
The Varsity teams were more even
1v matched. Wauseon made the first
point on a free throw. Archbold got
busy and ratified few field goals un-
til at one time the score was IL to |
in their favor. 1t was not until
along in the latter part of the first
half that Wauseon showed any class,
then they struck their stride and
hooped enough so that when the
whistle blew for the half Archbold led
by a score of only IL to 10. Wauseon
showed another squirt in the middle
of the second half and tied the score
at II all. Three were four minutes
left to play, with the score tied. In
those four minutes Archbold netted
five field baskets while Wauseon
gained only one, which gave Archbold
sI27 and Wauseon 19 at the final
whistle. Four field goals, or 8 points
indicates the difference between the
two teams in this game.
While Archbold was mkaing their
five baskets in the final four minutes
of play, Wauseon's guarding was Sc
slack that several throws were made
bv their opponents in the clear, with
no attempt being made to interfere
with the shooting.
The roofing of the Archbold fans
was noticeably unsportsmanlike.
We wish to quote from the Putnam
; County Sentinel. Ottawa, Ohio. That
! paper saws, "Wauseon High possesses
!; one of the best basket ball machines
!; that have ever worked on this floor
! They are all good athletes and gOoC
! lclean PLAYERS. We are sorry to say
that our boys were defeated dut
largely to superior playing by thu
opposing team who also had thei
: share of breaks of the game"
