A GENERAL SURVEY Athletics have, as a whole, been successful this year in the Tomah High School. This being due to the able management, and a very favorable attitude shown by the student body towards athletics. Football, the major sport of sports, is the one in which all the students take an especial interest. Through the able coaching of Mr. Fruth, the team of 1913 presented to the supporters of the game a very good brand of sport. Although defeating the strong teams from Milwaukee, Watertown and Portage, the season ended by being defeated by Sparta, our ancient rival, by a decisive score. However, we are sportsmen-like enough to acknowledge that the best team won, and we have the consolation that another season is coming and with it a bunch of huskies to fill the shoes of those who go out this year through graduation. . We have the hearty satisfaction of having defeated our old rival, Sparta, twice at basketball by decisive scores. The basket ball team defeated about all the teams it met and when the elimination games were played, to see who would be the champions of this district, the boys went through the aspirants for the honor like an express train, eliminating Columbus, Baraboo and Viroqua by decisive scores. They have the distinction of rep- resenting this district at the tournament held at Appleton, an honor that no other team that has ever represented Tomah High School can boast of, and an honor that few schools of this size have had. Coach Fruth and every man on the team deserve the highest praise for their hard and faithful work in order to turn out a team of its caliber. The base ball bug has stung about all those who are not immune to the fever, immunity from the fever being a very bad sign for a healthy, red-blooded American youth to display, and the prospects are bright for a good team this spring. 30
