The City Tournament In four gruelling contests the city championship was de- cided, and when the noise was all over, we had another little cup to stow away in our illustrious trophy case. and 6 were the dates of the games, the drawing taking place on Thursday night, and this decided that the first night's bat- tles should be High vs. Dunn County School of Agriculture, and Monitors vs. Stout. March 5 Jackson of Minneapolis was the referee, while Place of this city acted as umpire, both being very capable men. M. H. S. vs. Aggies. The first game proved easy picking for M. H. S., and the tillers of the soil were vanquished 42-7. The Aggies worked hard, but could not withstand the finished work of their op- ponents. McDonald, the losers' center, put up a splendid game, but the remainder of the team seemed somewhat lost. No one on the high school quint played especially hard; they seemingly held themselves in reserve, preparing to sink the winner of the last game. Monitors vs. Stout The second game Friday night was Monitors vs. Stout, and this game was Blood with a capital B, from whistle to whistle. Stout had a large delegation of rooters, while the ----------- 5 ----------- MENOMITE THE high school partisans backed the Monitors, and the spirit was red hot! The Monitors led all the way, finally winning 23-11. The contest was fought bitterly, and Bailey, a Monitor guard, was put out of the game for making personal fouls. French starred for Stout, while the whole Monitor tean played won- derful ball, with the guards standing out supreme. Sicut vs. Aggies. Stout won third place by trimming the Aggies 52-16 on Saturday night. The result was not very long in doubt, as Stout began running up the score at once, and although the Aggies fought, they could not fathom the offense of the win- ners. McDonald again starred for the county team, making 12. of their 16 points, while the Stout quint all played even ball, with Severs providing excitement by climbing up the chimney. M. H. S. vs. Monitors The city championship game was the wonder of the bas- ket ball season. From the time Jackson blew the whistle un til Schabacker shot the winning basket with a minute left to play, the fans were in a frenzy of excitement. Many injuries were sustained, due, not to dirty play, but to marvelously fast work. In one collision Murphy and A. Sipple were both knocked out, Sipple receiving such a serious cut over the eye that it was impossible for him to continue. As to picking stars in this game, "it can't be did," unless we should say that every man on the floor was a star. Line-up. High School. Niles (Capt.) Sipple, Haugen Monitors. V. Sipple A.

Siftings from the Pep Box The city tournament was a success from the word "go," and it would be a fine thing if it could be continued in future years. ----------- 6 ----------- 9 тHE MENOMITE H. Sipple, M. H. S., was the individual point winner, mak- ing 9 field goals and 6 free throws, for a total of 24 points. McDonald of the Aggies was second with 19 points, and J. G. Schott third with 18 points. "Doc" Gilbert rendered much valuable assistance during the games. Murphy and A. Sipple are going to write a book on as- tronomy, having discovered several unheard of stars in their head-on collision. To have seen the Monitors play you would have thought they imagined themselves at Appleton again, trying to win first place. We always knew that the Stout colors were blue, but we never had any suspicions that they were as blue as they seemed after the Monitor game. "Zeph" Quilling came back in fine style, playing as he did when he wore the high school colors. N. W. I. A. A. Tournament HE third annual N. W. I. A.

Eau Claire 37 vs. Cameron 12 The teams scheduled to open the meet were Eau Claire and Cameron, and Cameron was swept off the boards 37-12. This was the poorest game of the tournament, due to the fact that the Cameronites were afraid to mix with the husky Eau Claire team. Immediately after this contest Eau Claire stock took a tremendous jump upward. ----------- 7 ----------- ΜΕΝΟ ΜΙΤΕ THE 10 Chippewa Falls 21 vs. Superior 15 Chippew vs. Superior, and the up-staters were vanquished 21-15. Th Chippewa team was guarded closely by Superior, but mad most of their shots count. Superior made only one out 0 eight free throws, while the Chippewa man did better, makin five out of nine. The Superior boys made a very pleasing ap The second game on Thursday afternoon wer pearance on the floor. Ellsworth 24 vs. Arcadia 20 On the first night Ellsworth and Arcadia opened up anc in a good exhibition of the game, Arcadia was trimmed 24-20 Vazina, the winners' left forward, played the best game oE any man on the floor, making 14 of Ellsworth's points. A cadia seems to have hard luck in the tournaments here fon although they always have a fairly strong team, every vear they seem to be nosed out the first game by small margins Menomonie 40 vs. Hayward 20 Hayward had a fast team, but the local machine was too much for them, leaving them on the wrong end of a 40-20 score. Hayward started strong, scoring the first basket, but after this first flash, they were no match for Menomonie. Niles caged eight field baskets for Menomonie, while Gurnoe, an ex- ceptionally fast player, worked best for the team from the In- dian reservation town. Eau Claire 31 vs. Chippewa Falls 18 In the first game on Friday night, Menomonie fans were lucky to have a chance to see Eau Claire and Chippewa tear at each other. Both teams played the most aggressive style of basket ball possible, and although defeated, Chippewa fought gamely to the last ditch. Eau Claire had good team- work in this game. Pearson, the Eau Claire man on the Chip- pewa team, was injured so badly that he had to be carried from the floor. Menomonie 47 vs. Ellsworth 10 The closing game Friday night was between Ellsworth and Menomonie, and "Beauchamp's pets" came out victorious 47-10. Capt. Niles scored 18 points on field baskets alone, while the rest of the team played good ball. Sipple rounded into form toward the close of the contest, and made some sen- sational baskets. ----------- 8 ----------- THE ΜΕΝΟΜΙTE 11 Ellsworth 31 vs. Chippewa 21 Ellsworth won third place by defeating Chippewa in the first game Saturday night 31-21. served the place as they had better team work, and were also more accurate in shooting. Vazina made 17 of Ellsworth's points, and also played a strong game on the floor. The Ellsworth bunch de- Eau Claire 20 vs. Menomonie 18. Eau Claire won the tournament by defeating Menomonie in the fastest and most exciting game of the tournament. Something was sadly wrong with Menomonie the first half, for Eau Claire chalked up 12 to Menomonie's 3. Menomonie's playing improved rapidly the second half and Eau Claire's lead was cut down point by point. With the score 18-17 in favor of Eau Claire, the referee called a foul on the visitors, and Murphy's reliable digits dropped the ball through the basket, tying the score. Then the gun cracked, and it was de- cided to play until one team made two points. "Right off the reel" the ball went into Eau Claire's basket. It was a tough game to lose, but, well-we're not going to begrudge Eau Claire's victory, because they put up a hard fight against a all through the tournament. hostile cro Menomonie. Eau Claire.

That's the sum and substance of our championship as- pirations. Appleton on April 1, 2, and 3, and the teams represented were Eau Claire, Man- asha, Green Bay, Burlington, Beloit, Bara- boo, Fond du Lac, and Menomonie. The tournament was held at. The meet was won by Fond du Lac, but public opinion is that Menomonie rightfully has the best team in the state. The first game on the boards was Fondy vs. Beloit and Beloit was tripped up 43-22. Menomonie and Burlington were the next teams on the floor and Burlington was outclassed, the first half being 45-7, Menɔmonie slowed up to prepare for and the fimal 65-26. Fondy. In the evening games Baraboo fell before Green Bay 34-17, while Eau Claire trimmed Menasha 24-22 in the most exciting game of the day. Fondy vs. Menomonie was the opening struggle on Friday night, and Beauchamp's cohorts fell 39-34, after a heartbreak- ing struggle against the odds of a fast team and a seemingly partial referee. Fondy got Menomonie on the jump, counting seven before the alarm clock woke Menomonie. Sipple then shot a lucky basket. Monroe of Fondy shot a basket and they were given a point and a free throw. Then, with the score 11 to 2 against them, Menomonie started, Sipple making a goal and two free throws. Karst of Fondy made a free throw, after which Niles caged a basket. Of the next period the Appleton Crescent says, "Then began the balloon ascension for fair. Murphy, the stellar Menomonie guard, simply ran amuck, handled the ball with lightning speed, and before Fondy knew what had happened the score was 16 to 12 in favor of the Westerners. The period ended 20-16 with Niles and Co. on the long end. Soon after the second half started, Menomonie had a lead of ten points. Here Fondy was presented one, and Karst ----------- 10 ----------- THE MENOMI TE did not exert themselves to the utmost. Menomonie gained a big lead in the first half, but our neighbors gained in the sec- ond, and the final was 26-20, In the next game Fondy clinched the state championship by beating the Baymen 44-18. 15 Facts, Figures, and Foolishness The All-State team was composed of Niles (Menomonie), and Karst (Fondy), forwards; Rice (Fondy), center; Murphy (Menomonie), and Wheeler (Green Bay), guards. Sipple made 54 points, and was the individual point win- ner of the meet. Menomonie made 55 field goals and 12 free throws for 122 points. Fond du Lac made 120, Green Bay 78, and Eau Claire 62 points. Sipple should have been on the All-Star Team, but maybe it wasn't " policy’ for Schroeder to put three Menomonie men on. "Hats Off to A. O. Giese for getting such prompt re- turns at a considerable financial ou Menomonie was presented with the banner for appear- ance and conduct. Funny, isn't it, that they should get the conduct banner after losing the game for fouling, and rough playing? For once, Menomonie and Eau Claire pulled together. Why not in the future? If Eau Claire had beaten Green Bay and got a crack at Fondy, we'd bet that the Fond du Lac quint would have thought a cyclone had struck them. One account said that Schroeder was giving great satis- faction as referee. He was,-for Fond du Lac. During the season, Menomonie made 701 points to their opponents' 265, or on an average per game about 29 to their opponents' 15. They made the most points on Bloomer, 90, and the least on the St. Paul Cubs, 16. Niles made the most points, 216, Sipple following with 196, but Sipple missed two games. The papers at Appleton referred to some of Niles' shots as "hope to" affairs. They don't know "Cack" as we do. To prove that the refereeing was impartial, it was said that a foul was called on Karst in the last ten seconds of play with the score tied at 32, and called for fouling Murphy while ay. ----------- 11 ----------- THE MENOMITE 19 GIRLS’ ATHLETICS GIRLS' THIRD ANNUAL GYMNASTIC EXHIBITION AND DANCES OF NATIONS Program PART I. 1.

This exhibition is the only chance the girls have to show their athletic ability, and its success surpassed all previous records.

The work of the boys throughout the entire year is worthy of the greatest praise, and that they should came so near to winning the state championship is an honor for the school. During the regular season the team only lost one game, and that to the St. Paul Cubs, composed of older and more ex- perienced players. The record was indeed one of which to be proud, but more honors were' yet to come. tournament our boys took first place, winning over a team of almost all "old stars." In the city That Menomonie did not take first place at the Northwestern tournament was a great disappoint- ment, but the game which decided the championship was a splendid one.
