apr Uhr Gbahknah Glnnrnameni The team was selected along with eight others out of seventy-three applicants to represent the district at the Ninth Annual Tournament of the Oshkosh Normal School. The teams picked were Mayville, Niagara, Appleton, Neenah, Fond du Lac, Shawano, Ripon, and Menasha. The boys left for Oshkosh VVednesday, lVIa1'ch 9. Reible, Schumann, and Eben- tier, who had been sick earlier in the week, suffered a relapse at Oshkosh. For a time Thursday morning it looked as though Mayville would be unable to place a team on the floor. However, the invalids all recovered sufficiently to appear against Neenah Thursday evening. The Neenah team outweighed us overwhelmingly. Our boys got the jump and led 5-2 at the end of the first quartre. Neenah piled up a score of 10-0 during the second quarter, however, making the score 12-5 in Neenah's favor. The crowd, always for Mayville, went wild over the fight our midgets were making against the grand Red and White squad. We managed to cut down Neenah's lead to six points during the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, with the score '24-16, Neenah stalled during the last three minutes of play amid the jeers and hisses of the audience. ,The game ended 24-16. The other games during the day resulted as follows: Fond du Lac 20, Menasha 105 Oshkosh 36, Ripon 93 Niagara 18, Shawano 16. Mayville drew Ripon as her opponent Friday afternoon.

Schumann's wrist bothered him so much Friday night that he was taken to a doctor the next morning. He had a fever that day and was not fit to play in the Shawano game. Shawano's forwards had little trouble cluding Jim, who sat up with Schumann all of the preceding night. Shawano eliminated us, 23-9, her stars, Dillet and Reed scoring at will .against our crippled squad. Fond du Lac was vic- torious Saturday morning.

H- --,Q-2,5--.W-N---A -f--f - -ffff f---fAf--- i V IRWIN ERENTIER. Toots, the dependable, was the backbone of the team. He it was who put courage in the fellows and made them fight when the odds were against us. He was also the surest shot and the scrappiest of the five. Next Year, a team built around him ought to cop the State Title. EARL YOUNGHECK, Sub. Forward. Chunk was a good man and his weight was an asset to the team in general- He was usually fast and always was set against the huskiest of the opponents. He graduates this year. City team take notice. ED REDISKE, Sub. Forward. Ed, for lack of experience, was a sub., but in the games that he got into, he did lots of damage. He is a good floorworker, and fine on the defensive. lt's too bad he graduates, for he would make a good man next year. FRANCIS BACHHUBER, Sub. Guard. Tod- dy, for a green man, developed almost as fast as Toots. With his weight, speed, and his head he could without fail be depended on to protect the 'lVlayville basket when on the floor. He always does the right thing at the right time and in basketball this is all im- portant. YVe're looking to you next year Toddy. HARCJLD SCHUKNECKT. Shukee had a lit- tle hard luck and was ineligible until nearly the end of the season. Even then he worked so hard and faithfully, that he went to the Ripon Tournament- Jazz, the school depends on you for next season. Page Tfwenty-.wfuen

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
