ATHLETICS. Considerable interest was taken in the High School athletics this year, altho the material for the different teams was much less available than in former years. A football team was not organized until the latter part of September, as at first it was thot impossible to find enough boys for the team. Considering the weight of the team and the amount of practice it had, the record made is one of which the school may be proud. The team played its first game at Fond du Lac, September 29, against the High School second team of that city. The ccore was 0 to 0. On November 3, they played the Horicon High School team at Oakfield, with a score of 64 to 0 in our favor. The Horicon team was heavier than ours but the boys overcame this disadvantage by their swift playing. The team played its next game at Fond du Lac, November 10, against the Fond du Lac High School first team. This was by far the hardest game of the season. The Fond du Lac team averaged ten pounds to a man more than the Cakfield team, and it was expected that the score would be about 40 to 0 in favor of Fond du Lac, but on account of the stubborn and untiring defense put up by Oakfield, the score was held down to 27 to 0. The line up of the Oakfe’d team for this game was as given above with exceptions of center and right end, where Earle Henningsen and Arthur Bristol respectively played. The football season was closed with a game on Thanksgiving Day at Waupun. As some members of the team thot that they could not afford to mics their Thanksgiving dinners, substitutes were found, and the load of seventeen started from Oakfield about 10 o’clock. On account of the muddy roads, they did not arrive at Waupun until after 1 o’clock. A good Thanksgiving dinner was served a little before 2 P. M. The boys could not resist the temptation to do justice to the meal, and without considering what the results might be, participated freely of the turkey and goose. However, this would probably have done no harm, had the dinner been served earlier, but as it was, the boys had about thirty minutes in which to dress for the game, walk down to the grounds, and get five minutes of practice. As in the previous games, the opposing team was the heavier. It cou’d be seen at the end of the first half that Waupun easily had the game. At the beginning of the second half, however, Waupun was very much surprised. When Oakfield secured the ball, it seemed as if no amount of Waupun’s opposition could check the progress of the ball down the field. People began to think differently of the Oakfield team and some wondered if possibly they had not secured a little “stimulus” between halves, but their dinners had “settled,” that was all. The opponent’s score was already so great, however, that it could not possibly be overcome. As it v as, Waupun secured thirty-one points and Oakfield nine. The basket ball team was organized in the latter part of November, but the practice games were not begun until the latter part of December. The team played its first regular game at Worthing's Hall, March 1st, with the Rosendale High School team. The teams were well matched, and as a result the final score was very close, Rosendale securing nineteen points and Oakfield twenty. Immediately preceeding this game, the High School Girls’ basket ball team, which had been organized in October, played the H. D. Club basket
