Uhr Ripon Efnurnauwnt T The team left for Ripon Thursday, March 16, to take part in the eighth annual Interscholastic Basketball Tournament held in the Ripon College gym. It was a badly crippled team. Reible was again dragged from the sick bed to accompany the team- The boys drew Ripon for their opponent Thursday evening. Failure to cage the free throws lost the game. The score was 17--8. The new combination, Reible, Ebentier and Schuknecht with Bruder and Rediske as guards did not work very well. Oakfield was our opponent the following afternoon and defeated us, 15-12. This contest should have been ours by a twenty-point margin. The fellows missed the easiest shots imaginable in the game and their play was off. The number of fouls called on both teams shows the incompetence of the referee. Again We failed to score by the free throw route. The Tournament championship was won by Marion High when Racine's record was thrown out because their center, Grover, was a professional. The team did as well as could have been expected under the patched-up condi- tion it was in. -I Faye Twenty mne

EAST GREEN BAY AT MAYVILLE- Angered by the roasting they received after the Waterloo defeat, the boys came back the following night and trimmed East Green Bay High, 22-18. MAYVILLE AT OAKFIELD. Mayville went to Oakfield January 28 and played what proved to be one of the hardest fought games of the season. The boys were victorious after five gruelling minutes of overtime play, 18-15. Again Mayville teamwork featured. A MAYVILLE AT HORICON. On Thursday, February 3, the team swamped Horicon at Horicon, 44--13. Every one of the nine players taken on the trip played part of the game. BEAVER DAM AT MAYVILLE. Friday, February 4, an overconfident Beaver Dam squad invaded Mayville and was defeated, 15--12, in one of the fastest games of the season. MAYVILLE AT HARTFORD. The team traveled to Hartford Friday, February ll, determined to make it five victories in a row. They succeeded, 23-17, after having been on the short end of a 15-10 count at half time. R10 AT MAYVILI.E After many- fruitless attempts on the part of Mr. Nordby to secure a game for Saturday, Feb. 19, he succeeded in scheduling a contest with Rio High. The boys, playing the steady basketball that characterized their previous games, defeated the heavy northern squad, 25-20. WAYLAND ACADEMY AT MAYVILLE Wayland Academy came to Mayville, Feb. 25, with a highly touted squad that boasted of victories over some of the strongest Hprepl' school squads in the state. Mayville ran rings around their six-footers, winning easily, 22-Q. HARTFORD AT MAYVILLE Hartford appeared on the local floor, March 4, in the final home game of the season. At the start it seemed as tho the game would be closely contested, the first half ending 8-7 in Hartford's favor. With Tuts Ebentier, who was weakened by sickness sent into the game, the tide turned and Mayville whitewashed Hartford in the second half, 24-O, making the final score 31-8, with Mayville on the long end.
