Local High School Team Puts Kibosh on Red Bud High

Red Bud High School came up Friday evening in the third contest of a series 
with our high school boys.  The visitors were simply outclassed in all stages 
of the game and, especially so, in their team work.  Our boys lacked the services 
one of their best forwards, Admiral Fults, who was injured at Columbia not long 
ago, but that did not prevent them from playing their same consistent game.  
Charles May and Otis Rexroth came out with the most points.  Ervin Hartmann 
also deserves mention for his pass work.  Last, but not least, we must not forget 
to mention our guards Henry Schneider and Arnold Hoffmann.  They guarded the 
Red Bud forwards so well that they didn’t have a lookin.  At the end of the first 
half, the score stood 24 to 4 in our boys’ favor.  The locals were not content with 
this, and kept piling up the field goals, the score at the end of the game being 44 
to 5.  It is still an unsolved mystery in this burg how Red Bud won the first two 
games.  Our boys now have a record of five games won and four lost.  Not so bad 
for the first season, eh?  The score:
Red Bud				Waterloo
Kalbitz 1	rf			May		22
Gremp 2	lf			Hartman	2
Hoffmann 0	c			Rexroth	18
Nolan 0	rg			Hoffmann	0
Lohrberg 2	lg			Schneider	2

The Baldwin boys will be here Friday evening to play the local team.  This is 
another bunch that is due for a cleaning.  Watch our boys wipe up on ‘em this 
time.
