HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Is it any wonder that the high school
boys lost the game on Saturday at
Williamsport? They left here in the
morning on very early train, many
eating only a scant lunch for break
fast. They arrived at their destina-
ton after a long and tiresome ride at
2.30 o'clock in the afternoon. Here
they expected to receive a fine dinner
from the Williamsport team, but were
sorely disappointed, inasmuch as they
received no dinner at all. This forced
them to play the game almost directly
after their arrival on a comparatively
empty stomach, and it is very sur
prising that they succeeded so we'll in
holding their heavier opponents down
to one touchdown, which was made
about three minutes before the close
of the game. John Horan, high
schools crack guard and manager, put
up one of the finest games on the field.
Monday the banner was not brought
to the platform, as is the custom, but
was kept down until the close of the
session, when it was taken and put in
it's original position by one of the boys.
Whether it was kept down because Ct
the defeat the boys suffered Saturday
or by the orders of some person is
not known. 1t is thought by most
of the students that the banner should
be brought to the platform defeat or
no defeat and placed in its accustomed
position. 1t is no disgrace for any
| team to suffer defeat under such try
| ing circumstances as the boys suffered
at Willamsport.
! The scrub team will play the Dun
more high school eleven Friday ar
Athletic park. A very interesting game
is expected. as both teams are about
evenly matched. Harry Jones, the
coach for the scrub, is doing all that
lays in his power to advance the plav-
ers in the knowledge of the game, IA
well as in the skill necessary to sue
cessfully cope with their adversaries
from the borough.
1t is sincerely hoped that the school
boards expense for postage stamps
will be diminished considerable this
month. This can be done If the pupils
will make an extra effort to get above
the required average of 70 per cent
in all their studies.
One Of the pretty sights that was
enjoyed by every visitor to the school
last year was the marching in Of the
pupils from the locker rooms TO the
chapel exercises. This system left an
impression upon the visitors which
he could never forget.
Three OF the players lost the first
train and were compelled to leave on
later one, arriving at WilliamspOrt
Just in time for the game.
