ket Ball team returned from Rhine
lander on Saturday after participant
ing in the sectional tournament held
in that city on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday Of last week. The eight best
teams of this section that played at
the tournament were: Amigo, Wau
sau, Rhinelander, Medford, Park Falls,
Prentice, Tomahawk and Eagle River
The games and scores for the first day
were as follows:
Thursday Afternoon
Amigo VS. Wausau-Antigo % Wau-
sau 81.
Eagle River vs. Tomahawk- Eagle
River % Tomahawk 10.
Thursday Evening
Rhinelander VS.. Medford- Rhinelan-
der 81 Medford H.
Park Falls VS.. Prentice Park Falls %
Prentice 20.
The Amigo Wausau game was the
best of this series. Wausau losing out
on free throw by Amigo in the last
minute of play 1t was one of the best
games of the tournament No team
was more than three points ahead Of
the other at any stage of the game,
The other games including the Eagle
Tomahawk game we're one sided.
Eagle taking the lead from the start
had no difficulty in keeping ahead of
their opponents.
The schedule for the second day
was as follows:
Friday Afternoon
Medford AZ VS. Tomahawk 20.
Wausau 81 VS.. Prentice 8.
Friday Evening
Amigo 40 VS.. Park Falls 4
Rhinelander "a VS.. Eagle River %.
These games were one sided as the
scores indicate with the exception OF
the Rhinelander Eagle game which
was close from start to finish. Eagle
leading from the beginning UP to the
last minute Of play when the score
was tied and Rhinelander won the
game by scoring two free throws. Fans
remarked that this game contained
more real thrills than the Antigo-Wau-
sau game and on account of it being
HI game twas no doubt the most
sll5 S9ss.5sed az pest. game played in the
whole Tournament
This left Prentice and Tomahawk
out of the race entirely. Eagle River
decided to go home on account of not
being able to get home Sunday and
having only fourth place to play for
which they concluded was not worth
while. The line up for Saturday should
have been as follows
Saturday P. M.
Park Falls VS.. Eagle River.
Wausau VS. Medford.
Saturday Evening
Wausau 43 VS.. Park Falls Is
Amigo 20 VS.. Rhinelander 10
The first game OF this series was
not played as Eagle River leaving for
home forfeited the game to Park Falls
Wausau defeated Medford score not
known and so Wausau played Park
Falls for third place Saturday evening
defeating them by score of 43 to Is
Amigo played Rhinelander for, first
and second places, score 20 to 10 in
favor of Amigo. So final outcomes of
tournament were Amigo first, Rhine
lander second, and Wausau third
AS the referee and other basket ball
fans remarked, Eagle River seemed
to be the dark horse of the tournament
none of the other schools expected
much from Eagle One reason being
that we are small school compared
to most of the others, another reason
was that the report came out that
Eagle had had no practice for six
weeks. Therefore Tomahawk, as re
ports were expected easy picking from
Eagle, but met with a complete sur
prise. The Rhinelander paper did not
even refer to Eagle after Rhinelander
had defeated Medford, but stated that
now Rhinelander would meet Amigo
not even mentioning the fact that
they had to meet Eagle first. Well,
the score of this game tells the story
AS it is, Eagle River need take off its
hat to no one at this tournament, in
Guiding Rhinelander, except Wausau
and Amigo who have excellent teams
and could possibly have defeated us.
And if we had had sufficient practice
Eagle would stand running chance
with these two teams. The boys did
well, considering all obstacles they
have had to meet and we are proud
of our 1929 Basket Ball Team.
WILL MEET APRIL 2.
