L , Page Twenty-eight T H E R 0 C K E T The Trip The day Hnally arrived when the Basket-Ball Team was scheduled to play one of those 'fhard gamesfl Randolph was supposed to have ia very good team. The trip over to Randolph was not very exciting, many of the players fell asleep. The excitement started when we arrived at the large town of Ran- dolph. As usual there was nobody to meet us, so we sought our way up to the High School. Here we were treated with a little more respect, wc were taken around the school, and we were invited to visit their classes. In the Junior English Class, Nvalter Schu- mann lost his heart due to the fact that he sat behind one of those good look- ing ones, so he claims. After supper we were taken to the basket-ball hall, which was in the gym of the high school, and we were told to get ready for thc game. At this mo- ment, l think, our boys threw off their friendly feeling for our hosts -and made up their minds that they would defeat Randolph. Even lValter had no time to look for the f'Wonderful Girlv he had met just a few hours before. XVe had to wait until the girls of the high school had played their slow and imexciting game of basket-ball. The girls' game, tho lasting only twenty minutes, seemed like twenty years to us, because by this time we were pretty anxious to get into the game. At last the whistle blew for our game to start. The first half was mostly floor-work, and rough floor-work at that. The score at the end of the first half was Randolph 4, Mayville 'ISO Randolph Between halves we decided to play the game a little harder and hit just as hard as Randolph had been hitting in the first half. The second half started with our de- termination thoroly fixed in mind, and it worked pretty good, too. The battle was getting thicker and hotter, when we saw our fast little guard NJin1,' ly- ing o11 the floor. Upon examining him we found his aw was dislocated. With the assistance of Mr. Pike, HzTl1'1'1,S,, jaw was quickly doetored up -and the game started with its usual speed. We soonfound out that we had them out- elassed in every way. XVe doubled our score, and Randolph made one free throw. The big game was over with a score of Mayville 10, Randolph After the game we were treated 'fRoyally,' by the students of the Ran- dolph High School, a banquet being given in our honor by the Domestic Science Department. 'fThanks to the girls rt The hour finally came when we had eaten everything in sight, and we were taken by the Randolph boys to their own homes. Rut. som.e of our boys de- cided that they could sleep better in a hotel than in a private home. It was due to this fact that HJ-azz took an aw- ful fall down the steps, causing much disturbance in the hotel. Finally we were settled in our rooms and had a good night's sleep. We felt as if we were being ill-treated when we were awake-ned at six o'clock the next morn- ing to catch our train.

TERNOX BRTTDER, '4Jim - Left Guard Nothing ever got by Jin1'l. He was all over the floor and worried his opponents every minute. Not only was he a clever guard,' but a sure shot from almost any position on the floor. 'iflinil' is coming back and we hope hc will play the same style of game next season. HAROLD SCHUKNECHT, Jazz - Sub. A new man in the making.

THE ROCKET Page Tfwemfy-nine Some Games With I-Ioricon .Xfter several attempts to get a game with Horicon, we at last got one on a Saturday night. A large crowd at- tended and expected to see a good game, many expecting to see our team again defeated. They were most unfortu- nately disappointed or surprised. The game started with a snap, each team excited and anxious to score. llori- eon succeeded in rolling in the first basket. Than we received a free throw. The score now stood 2-1 for a while, but .-our boys soon came to and succeeded in scoring a few more baskets. The game thruout was rough, our team having 8 personal fouls and Horicon 5. The game seemed short but sure interesting, our boys staying in the lead thruout. The linal score was 20-10 in our favor. Two weeks following this' game we started for the return of the game. Leaving in bobs on a cold and stormy night we reached there cold and numb. The game started late due to the late trains. Here Horicon again succeeded in getting the first. basket but without results. lVe soon were ahead, and the game thruout was rough on the part of both teams. At the end of the first half we stood ahead 9-3. The second half we stalled around the first ten min- utes and finally succeeded in rolling in a few more points. At times Horicon would show signs of improvement- but Finally fell down, after our boys got started. The final score was 17-T. Athletic Organized athletics was what we needed, everybody saw that, so a meet- ing was called and a Constitution drawn up. This was adopted at a later meet- ing and the officers were then elected. Association The Association proved its success by the way in which it met the financial problem. And it also helped to put the school behind our athletics. President, Harold McCarty. Vice-President, Earl Youngbeck. Secretary and Treasurer, Carl Rue- debuseh. Clheer Leader, Bill Brnder. .,
