KENNEWICK LOSES FIRST GAME
OutpIayed by Heavy Walla WaIla
EIeyen-High School Practicing Pol.
itics-Preparing for Debate

Friday, Oct 4th. the high school
football team lost to the Walla Walla
high school with score of $50. The
Walla WalIa boys outweighed the Ken
newick team by fifteen pounds to the
man. Though playing against team
with more experience our boys didn t
give I'D for a minute The first quarter
cave the Walla Walla team two touch
downs from which one goal was kicked,
giving them thirteen points. Our boys
nlaved the best ball during the second
and third quarters, holding their own
we'll. But the last quarter was bad.
Walla scored a touchdown soon after
the play commenced. Kennewick made
a thirty yard pass on the left end, and
eon an attempted pass on the opposite
end, when the ball was received by a
Walla Walla man who ran for touch
down. This was followed soon by
another, making in all five touchdowns
and three goals. The game was clean
and free from injuries. The best of
spirit prevailed between the two
teams and though our boys lost the vic
tory they gained a point in true gentle
manliness and grace in accepting de-
feat. AS soon as the Crime of battle
had been removed, the boys found a
big steak awaiting each one and in
tackling this they were entirely success
full. Carnahan and Annis played the
best line game. The defensive work
of Johnson and Howe was good as was
divers work running back punts. The
lineup is as follows: C., Walter Bar
quist; R. G., Carpenter; L. G., Slaugen-
haupt; R. T., PASTOR; L. T. Carnahan;
R. E., Annis; L. E., Earl Johnson; R.
H., Oliver; L. H., VIM. Barquist; O.,
Howe. Time, twelve-minute quarters.
A professional business man of the
city, in talking with Superintendent
Lewis not long ago, asserted that he
did not believe that ninety-nine per
cent of the pupils in high school could
tell him anything about election. In
many schools, he said, the pupils know
more about ancient history than they
do modern history and current poll
tics: Mr.. Lewis tested the high school
pupils on this Monday morning and
found only one or two who know what
election is. So he decided that the
high school should have primary cleo
ton oft own. He explained at length
the principle of the primary election
and its possibility of replacing the old
conventions in those states which do
not now have it. He also added that
thelegislature of this state passed the
direct primary law in 1909. For the
high school primary Mr.. Groom was
appointed City Clerk, with Harold
Gray, Harold Oliver and Clark Mauk as
assistants. His office was open all day
Tuesday and everybody proudly reg
istered. A good deal of fun was in
terspersed with business. One per-
son registered as coming to this state
in 1892. Politicians in every class are
working hard, and the suffragettes are
also busy. The primary election will
be held next Monday, the fourteenth.
The general election in the high school
will be held at the same time as that in
the outside world. Much interest is
being taken in the proceedings and it
is hoped that the pupils will derive a
great deal of benefit and some know
ledge of politics.
The subject for the inter-high-school
debate for this year is Resolved:
That this state should continue the poll
cy OF constructing state roads and
highways with increasing appropria-
tons therefor" The order has been
changed somewhat this year. Each
team will have only two members; the
first speaker on each side will have
hfteen minutes in which to speak, the
