Other Notes

The Pullman public schools will
open Tuesday, September 5th. The
first teachers meeting of the year
will be held at the high school build
ing on Monday, Sept. 4th, at goo p.
m.
Patrons will please take notice
that no seventh grade class will be
taught at the Franklin building. All
pupils of this grade and also of the
eighth grade, will attend att the high
school building. All pupils of the first
six grades living north and east of
the Northern Pacific track will at
tend at the Edison building; those of
east of Grand street and south of
Main street, at the Franklin school,
those of grades five and six living
on Methodist, Military and Sunny
side hills at the Franklin. There will
be no fourth grade at the Franklin
building, but all children of this
grade, except those who belong to
the Edison school, and also those of
grades one, two, and three that do
not belong to either of the other
schools, will attend at the high school
building.
The coming year promises much
in the way of athletics for the Pull
man team and the enviable record
made by the teams last year will
probably be repeated. Football en-
thusiasts are already preparing for
strenuous season, several teams hay
ing exhibited a longing to take the
large silver championship cup from
Pullman. The team that will carry
Pullman's colors this year will lack
some of the weight and strength of
last years championship eleven, but
will have more experience and will
probably be faster than the 1910
team Wexler, fullback, Cannon, half
back and Schlaeffer, end, will not be
here, but other members of the first
and second teams will be entered and
the prospects seem bright. Last years
team, consisting of many new players
surprised the supporters by its ex-
cellent showing, and it seems proba-
BILE that the new squad will make an
equally good record.
An attempt is being made to secure
Cecil Cave to coach the team again,
but nothing definite has been done.
If Cave is not secured the place will
go to some other well known w. S.
G. star.
The team will play Colfax. Palouse,
Garfield, Tekoa and possibly Rosa
liza and Oakesdale for the county
honors. In addition to these games
Couer d'Alene high school will play
here and the Lewiston Normal school
will be played at Lewiston. Spokane
high school for the third time has
refused the Pullman team game,
although it will play teams from sew
eral Whitman county towns.
All members of the 1910 basketball
team will return to school and an
excellent team is expected Last year
the team won from every high school
team in the county, but no trophy
was offered for this championship.
Palouse claims the basketball cham
pionship, but as the local five de-
feated that team twice their claim
seems to be without foundation.
The county debating championship
has been won two consecutive years
by Pullman teams and a silver cup
has been retained by this school as
trophy. If the team should win
the cup this year the cup will become
the property of the school without
further contest.
The question to be debated in the
league will not be decided until
about the first of October. Two men,
ners of last years team will be in
school and enough experienced speak
ers are expected to form creditable
team
