he couldn’t get his way. Suddenly he stopped, looked at his mother and said,
“You never cry, do you, Mommy?” then added, “But then you always have your own
way.”
The defending State champion basketball team,
Shawano, Friday night had no difficulty in sweeping to a 75-50 win over
Kaukauna’s Galloping Ghosts in the second meeting of the teams. Toward the end
of the third quarter, with Shawano well in the lead, both Shawano and Kaukauna
coach, Fred Barribeau, sent in their second teams. As a result, many of the
players who would not have seen action had ample opportunity to display their
basketball wares.

Shawano cheerleaders in applauding the limping players as he left the floor.
