In the third round, O'Malley broke through with hard lefts and rights to score a technical knockout. Lloyd Stahl won by virtue of a forfeit. E.- Taves, B. Shidler and H. Musson also came out on top. Counting Stahl's forfeit, Tomahawk won five and lost five. Still a little inexperienced, Coach Derscheid pick- ed a squad of thirteen to box Merrill in the Toma- hawk gym, April 4. They were all very thrilling fights even though Tomahawk did come out on the short end of an eight to five count. The winners of the bouts were: H. Musson, R. Timm, L. Stahl Cby forfeitl, B. Hansen and M. O'Malley. On April 8, fourteen Tomahawk boxers invaded Wittenberg with blood in their eyes. Wittenberg, who appeared'to have a very strong team, came out on the long end of an eight and a half to five and a Merrill boys-M. O Mal1ey, L. Stahl. Right cross-j. Doucette, R. Shidler. half count. R. Hansen, B. Riedel, and N. Stone- berg each received a draw.' L. Stahl, M. O'Mal- ley, B. Musson, and H. Kaphaem won their fights. High school boxing was still in the experimental stage in most schools. In order to keep it a clean sport W. I. A. A. rules were enforced. As an ex- periment, no decisions were given in the last fight with Wausau on April 18, at Tomahawk. This was done to promote better feeling between the box- ers themselves as well as better exhibitions and cleaner fighting rather than wild swinging, do-or- die slugfest. Wausau had a very fine group of boys who fought hard and clean. Tomahawk, having more experience than at the beginning of the year, showed real spunk and ability in close and hard fighters in these bouts were B. fought bouts. The Musson, R. Timm, R. Hanson, G.

The lack of experience still could be seen, but as a whole the team proved quite successful. With plenty of material back for 1941, T. H. S. ought to prove very successful. M. O'Malley and B. Con- ant were elected co-captains. ,JJ , f- if' ' fi ' X' ' ' Biceps--E. Taves, W. Conant. Tb I A, 73 - A' ' Fly weight-B.

When Coach Vincent Derscheid-blew the whistle for the first practice session, thirty-five willing boys answered the call. The inexperienced squad train- ed vigorously for four weeks before they played their first game. There were many new positions to be Hlled. The squad from the year before had lost heavily' by graduation. To make matters worse, the Bauer twins, who each played end, gave up foot- ball in preference to baseball. Also our substitute end, Gareld Ellis, abandoned school for a tour of the United States and Canada. Then the day be- fore practice began, Mark O'Malley who played right half the year before and was elected co-cap- tain, moved from the city. So with a light inex- perienced squad, Tomahawk faced its opponents who were usually big and rugged. Other bad breaks, such as injuries and wet weather kept the team from being in top form. Bob Kluball, George Bartelt and Ray Cychosz were all injured in the beginning of the season. Despite the injuries Tom- ahawk came through with a fairly good season of two wins against three losses. The last game, scheduled for November first, was called off because of snow. Six inches of snow had covered the Eagle River field making it impossible to see the white lines on the field. Graduation claims the following men: L. Stahl, P. Bogie, G. Bartelt, B. Hansen, C. Siesennop, Theiler, B. Kluball, D. Barfknecht. LINE UP lst Team 2nd Team Center C. Siesennop R.

Carl Siesennop was elected captain and most valuable player of the squad by his teammates. He played the center position and played it very well. Nine of the ten lettermen returning next year will be Juniors. So watch them roll next year and the year after. -:il 22 Ia-
