quite recently there has been a reviv.
al Of sports in this school. Football
as the general topic of interest, but
it is also confidently said that the
school will have one Of the best bas-
ket ball teams in many years. The.
students entering East room Tues
day morning were confronted with a
large drawing of a football player
and around him were placed the fol-
lowing words: ut is not your money
we want. It's you. 400 p. N. Pla.
groands.' This unique command did
perhaps more than anything else III
drawing the large crowd that was
present. The day was ideal for foot
ball and both teams were In the pink
of condition that was best suitable
for a fine game. Although there were
no goal posts (Which was a gre II
hindrance as no goals could be
kicked and so no additional points
could be scored) the rest of the
ground was in good condition. The
general opinion previous to the game
was that if the Elks, one of the com
peting teams, was beaten only by the
score of 16 to 0, that the showing
would be a very creditable one on
their part. as the high school, or
"varsity' team averaged about .
pounds more to the mar than the
Elks' team. The teams weighed APP
proximately $50 and 135 pounds to
the man. Another thing tending to
inspire confidence in the older,
stronger high school team was the
amount Of experience that it has had.
Steady practice has been made for
several weeks by the players On the
school team and their opponents,
while familiar with each others play
ing, were not, as yet, sufficiently pro-
fcient to avoid troublesome delays
and false moves and mistakes. The
high school team had several players
of a year or more of experience and
in every way had the superior team
Of the two.
After preliminary practice, the
teams lined up for play at 4:25 p.
M. The large crowd had by this time
begun to feel a trife impatient. The
line ups were as follows:
