as there Is keen rivalry for every po-
sit,on on the team and some of the
regulars are liable to get beat out.
The beginning of the new semester
marked a great burst of enthusiasm
and spirit at the high school and
every night from twenty to twenty
five men are working out in suits.
Captain McDill will probably play
center, but he is getting some good
practice in playing against such tall
men as Bean. Fee and Straughn There
are two sets of guards, between which
there is little choice. but Devine and
c. Jordan have considerable advan-
tage over A. Jordan and Boylen on
account of weight and long experience.
The team is particularly strong in for
wards with RAIDER, Sturdivant, Kim
ball and Bowman.
The high school has a strong or
ganized second team and will take
on the academy second team, Athena,
Echo and Hermiston high schools be-
fore the season is over.
Regardless of the many attractions
of the week the basketball game in
the high school gym is sure TO get its
share of the crowd on Friday night
for this game will undoubtedly be the
best of the season.

Much JOY was occasioned in the
ranks of the sunny South Minstrels'
yesterday when they were informed
that Mr.. Mc'Lennon, the popular trav-
cling man had agreed to act as inter-
locutor in the coming show and to al
so assist in the direction of the re-
hearsals Since the withdrawal of Mr.
Ferguson from that position, owing to
the sad news of the death of his
brother. the pseudo darkies who hold
down the end positions have been
without an assistant In their funmak-
ing. However, that vacancy has now
been filled and Mrs. Crayne is indeed
fortunate in securing such an able
man as Mr.. MLennon. He has had
a great amount Of experience during
the last ten years. and his first re-

VINDICATE LOST HONORS
Walla Walla High Defeated Pendleton
in Garden City, But Boys Have
Great Hopes of Retaliation Friday
Night When They Meet Their Ri
walls on Their Own Floor.

The high school basket tossers are
putting in some hard practice in pre-
pairing for their return game with
Walla Walla high on Friday of this
week. The Walla Walla team has al
ready defeated the local team on their
home floor by small margin and the
locals are determined to wipe out this
defeat on Friday evening. Walla
Walla has one of the strongest teams
in the inland empire and this was
proven by defeating Whitman college
Pendleton undoubtedly has the fastest
team in eastern Oregon and have lost
TO no high school except the Walla
Walla team and they hope to regain
their lost laurels.
II might be remembered that last
year Walla Walla defeated the locals
in Walla Walla by an overwhelming
score, but when the return game was
played in PendletOn, the locals won in
one of the fastest games ever played in
this city. Coach Brown sees no rea-
son why this should not be repeated
as Pendleton has a much stronger
team than last year. In fact the
team is exactly the same as last year
with the one exception and the play
ers are now experienced and work to-
gether like machinery. The lack of
an individual star proves the good
team work of the quintet.
Pendleton has not one man
team as many schools and can win
games with three of the regular play
ers out of the game. This was shown
last Friday night when Columbia Col
lege Junior of Milton was defeated by
q large score with the absence o.
