Meet That Gives Los Angeles
First Place on Ath-
letlc Map

! hall Saturday night. The affair, quite
the most select of the term, is the semi
annual dance given by the latest alum
nj class of the high school. Arrange
ments for the coming affair are in the
| hands of Walter Hartung, Harry Sc
ward and Edwin Walker, a trio of boys
! from the winter '07 class which gradu-
ated in February.
Five hundred invitations have been
issued, and it is expected by the young
managers that the hall will be crowded
to it's capacity. In addition to the
greater part of the present senior A
class. all the members of the winter '07
class have been invited and several
hundred CUES of alumnus associations
Of former years.
BY winning the track meet at Bovard
field from Oakland yesterday afternoon
Los Angeles high has proven herself
the superior of all the other teams Of
the state. Notwithstanding the splen-
did work Of Mum. the Oakland lad who
scored thirty points for his side, the
local boys captured the field by the
close score of 5S to 55.
The meet yesterday was the result of
a tie for first between Los Angeles high
and Oakland. When the Los Angeles
contingent went to the Etanford inter-
scholastic field meet, several weeks ago,
Oakland defeated them, taking first,
with Harvard second and Los Angeles
high third.
Saturday the local boys won their
lost laurels by defeating all corners at
Bovard field, even the mighty Oakland
lads falling down. This resulted in
tie for first, and a meet was arranged
between the two teams. By winning
yesterday Los Angeles high has proven
itself the first team of the state-though
Clkland contested the meet on a tech
nical foul in the relay. They claimed
that Bristol for Los Angeles fouled
Mum of Oakland by taking his place
before the local lad was six feet in
front of him, thereby cutting the north
ern boy out. In reality the high school
lad had a gain of twenty feet on the
Oakland boy, and even if he had "cut
him out"-which he denies-the foul
would have been only technical one.
The various teams Of the high school,
with the exception of the debaters, have
carried all before them this term. The
girls basketball team has won every
game played and is now champion of
Los Angeles County league; the boys
team has repeated this STUNT the base
ball nine has a straight run Of victories
to it's credit, with one exception, and
that was tie. Charles H. Mills, repre-
senting the orators of the school, won
a gold medal and the pennant for his
school, and the track team "did 1t" yes
terday.
The Oakland high school wants to
debate Los Angeles high, and, If posi-
BILE, regain on the forum the laurels
lost in the field. A def has come to the
local boys from the northern school
offering to pay the expenses of two men
!, ;rrI, Toair nf hnr DO
baters north to contest with them. 1t
is probable that Charles Mills will be
one of the number chosen If high school
accepts the challenge.
The champion girls basketball team
had intended going north to Ventura
Saturday to play the Santa Paula team,
which is the champion of the Channel
league. A track meet which will be
held at the same time threatened to
interfere with the success of the game,
and 1t was decided to postpone 1t till
a more suitable time. The four cham
pion teams of the south Pomona, Or
ange, Santa Paula and Los Angeles
high, are playing off the semi-finals.
Pomona won from Orange Saturday;
and the team which wins in the contest
between Los Angeles high and Santa
Paula will meet Pomona for the cham
pionship of the south. The high school
girls, in the event of their winning, ex-
pect to go north to play for the cham
pionship of the state.
h table of comparative estimates of
credits and debts of the different high
school activities places the girls bas-
ketbaal team way in the lead as a pay
ing investment. With expenses of less
than $15 the girls have turned into the
treasury more than seventy shining 81
moleons. The boys basketball team
has cost a great deal more and has
brought in less. The track team re-
ceived almost $500, and brought in S45.
The baseball team made the poorest
showing. With expenses aggregating
more than $50. their credit side of the
ledger shows SAFE. The lunch house has
done more than $4,000 worth Of business
since the first of the year and makes
more money for the school than all the
athletic teams together.
The question of a manager for the
school paper, the Blue and White un-
der discussion for several weeks, will
i'm all probability be settled today by
Prof. Housh, principal of the high
school. For some time a heated fight
has been waged in the class as to who
should be the next manager vote
taken a week ago threatened to split
| the senior A class, which elects the
manager, into two factions, and the
affair has been taken from the class to
be decided by the faculty. The faculty
was not able to reach any decision last
night and Prof. Housh declared that
J he would appoint manager today. 1t
is thought that the choice lies between
| Mills, Taylor and Petty.
Lawrence Hill, president of the stu
! dent body last year, who has also done
| considerable work on a local paper,
was elected editor.
1t times past the choice of a manager
rested with the principal, but in recent
years the classes have been allowed to
choose one of their own number. Mr..
Housh said last night that in the future
he would appoint that dignitary and
avoid all disputes in the A class.
Pupils of both Los Angeles and Poly
technic high schools will soon have an
opportunity to show what they know
about socialism. The Los Angeles
Woman's Socialist union voted to offer
three cash prizes of SIS, $40 and S5 to
