The Rhinelander junior High five defeated Antigb's high school seconds, 19 to 12, and the Rhinelander varsity trimmed Antigo's first team, 17 jo 10. The largest crowd ever to attend a basketball game in this city packed every inch of the J.H.S.

gym, overflowing into the doors and corridors. Fans stood or sat on the floor at both ends of the court, and there wasn't enough room in any part of the building to lot a good sized sneeze, Antigo's big delegation of fans went wild With excitement In the first period when Antigo took a commanding' lead, but their hopes were short Jived. Once Rhinelander fell back Into the every-man-flght-every- mlnute kind of ball, it was all over but tjio shouting, and Rhinelander did the shouting. Rittei-est Foes In. Valley Immediately after the flashy victory of the little J.

S. five over its larger arid older opponents, the varsities of the most bitter enemies in 'the Wisconsin valley conference came thundering on the floor amid the cheers of. hundreds of basketball-crazed fans. Referee Cannon called the teams on the floor for instructions, tossed up the at center, and the game was on.

Coach Tragiai pulled a surprise by starting Vlahakis at floor guard, but his stellar playing and ever-present scrap was so evident that It, looks like a new Rhine- is sweet.

WE-D WARNED HIM AtnsAD OF GAME THAT RHINELANDER WOULD'WIN.

ME MAD THE StUFF lander star lias vaulted Into the firmament. Piehl played center anil lus guarding of the. rangy Bishop was the best of this Bishop went scoreless. Piehl fiot the iiia'jority of the tips from tho Antigo man-mountain, incidentally getting the very first one. Norman took the first shot of the game and missed.

Rhinelandei ucored first, but Antigo came back scored two field goals to make It 4-2, Antigo and Rhinelander culled timo out. Antigo 0-2 Play was resumed, and tho quar ter ended 0-2, Antigo. All three Antigo's field goals wore made ir that first quarter on one long am two short shots by Nelson. Tho Rhinos got on to him after that, am sowed him up in a bag so tightlj that he went scoreless tho rest of th game. Barlow, Piehl and Norman foun the net for Rhinelander in tho sec ond quarter, and soon tied the scori at 0-6.

Strong dropped in a long oiv for Antigo, but Rhinelander tied i up again at 8-8. As tho half endct Rhinelander swept into the lead on field goal, making tho score 10-8 Rhinelander. Antigo opened the second half by scoring' 'a Hold goal, knotting the count for the third time in tho game. Koudelka, Antigo got the field goal. It It was his only scoring in the entire game, and was the last point Antigo got the entire game.

Barlow dropped ons in from under the basket to give Rhinelander a 12-10 lead, Vlahakis scored a sensational shot to give Rhinelnnder a 14-10 lead as tho third quarter ended by fighting his way through tho guarding of throe Antigo players to splash the ball through tho not from under the goal. Bishop Regular Ilorsemun Bishop, who spenf most of the evening riding up and down the floor on the back of Buck Norman, Buck Norman has a rival for the ppelation "scrappiest player on the earn." Last night's hero was Via- lakis, who in his first start at floor guard for Rhinelander, played a whale of a game. He fought hard jvery minute, and he looks like a addition to the Rhinelander five. He was in the fight every minute, he didn't seem 'to tire, his with a man holding your arm and another on ylntii' back. It has been said that we've razzed every official who has worked here.

Once an An'tigo player held on Barlow's arm at the east basket before and after ho shot at the basket, and Cannon failed to it, Bishop should have been fouled several times.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 11 (By A. 4-Only four familiar faces will missing from the regular Kansas City Blues lineup 'on opening day April 10, but the absence' of two of these has caused an infield weakness that on the eve of the training Camp date still is worrying George Muehlebach, Blues' owner.

Only one of the holes In the Infleld caused last fall by draft, sale and recall, has been remedied, and bach is currying the lists of available players for a second and third baseman. Securing of these, together with a capable southpaw pitcher, would relieve the owner's mind, and strengthen his belief that the Blues would finish as strong or perhaps stronger than last year. The team landed in a second place tie with Milwaukee) last September. Howard Freigau, third baseman, was 'drawn by Brooklyn in the draft and Joe Mauser, first baseman, often called the best first sacker in the circuit, was recalled by the Ernie Smith, shortstop, and Luther Roy, pitcher, were sold to Washington. Dudley Branom returns to Kansas.

City from Philadelphia 1 to hold down the first plate, and Emery Rigney has been purchased from Birmingham for the shortstop position. Third Base Is Open. The third base job is still open, however, with the possibility that Ralph Michaels, utility player, may be called on to fill that hole. In ad- PONCA CITY HOLDS BASEBALL QUIZ LEFT TO RIGHT: FUNK.

like the playing of Art Barow, so we're not taking a slam at iim, but it did appear that the Rhino forward was all worn out in that iast quarter. HE HAD A NOTION Once In the third period, Bishop climb on Norman's back (as he had a habit of doing) and Buck dumped huge Antigo center off on the floor. The Ant pivot man doubled up his fist as though he intended smack Norman. It was comical, for Buck is about one-third the size of Bishop. But it would have'been tragic had Bishop struck Normati.

FOR AN Cabby Ewers, coach at AA'au-. sau, attended the game with pad and pencil, sketch-ing Rhinelander and Antigo plnys, and getting the dope on both teams. In the prelim, Recemius, Kelly and Counter each had three personals on them.

The Rhino captain nonchalantly carried Bishop the entire length of the floor, and Referee. Cannon decided that the drama was worth a free throw. Freddie thought so too, and made the good.

The last field goal of the game was made on a shot from center by Piehl. In defeating Antigo, Rhinelander hud no walkaway. The Ants fought every minute of the game, they went down playing the best brand of ball they knew. Antigo has an excellent team, and Rhinelander, in victory over her bitterest rival, is happy but does not gloat. Rhinelander earned every point scored, but the Rhinos continue to look like an entirely different aggregation than the one that wore tho Green and White just three weks ago.

Rhinelander, last, has a ball team and every fun in Rhinelander is proud of 'Coach Tragiai and his valiant warriors today.
