rollments of this year show much new
material in the way of selection for
interpretation. SO the contest is sure to
be a good one. All contestants are
due and nus be on hand Friday
morning.
Good Athletic Meet.
The spectacular feature of the meet
is the gathering of high school athletes
to compete for the championship of
the state and to try to raise some ut
the excellent state records in track
and. field events. These contests are
growing sharper every year. Langdon
carried off first honors last year, hut

ished up in the afternoon at 9. The
final contests will be held on Satur-
day afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock.
Conference is Important.
Two sessions of the high school o n
ference will be held. one on Friday
afternoon and n during the fore
noon, Saturday. AT that time many
questions of importance relating to
high school work will be taken up and
discussed. though no formal action
results from these conferences OF high
school people. yet this gathering has
great influence on high school affairs
in this state. 1t is as a result of their
recommendation that the high school
board has decided that the high
schools of the state should open two
weeks later in the fall. thus giving a
better chance to boys from the farms.
On many other questions the accu-
mulatcd opinion of this gathering has
been given expression in the high
school policy of the state. The uni
versity will be host to the high school
people at a luncheon to be served at
the university commons at noon on
Saturday.

TOOK 10 INNINGS
FOR BENGALS TO
WIN YESTERDAY

It was a bad decision over in
Vancouver, B. c., yesterday after
noon which almost cost the Tigers
the game. Pearl Casey, ex-Tiger
second baseman whom you re-
member in the days of OWE Over
all, TrucA Egan, Mike Fisher, ct
al, couldn't see straight, accord
ing to the venacular expression
of thousand British fans and to
probably a majority of the Beaver
team. It was in the ninth when
Joe's boys had a lead of one run
when 1t happened.
Lewis got on first with a nice
single and was advanced by Kon-
nick with another single. Inger-
soil hit to McMullin and forced
Konnick out at second. Keller
in attempting to complete the
double at first was rammed by
Ingersoll as the latter was speed
ing toward the second bag. Every
body saw it but Casey and Lewis
scored. The decision was so un-
popular that the entire aggrega-
ton of spectators cheered for the
Tigers the rest of the game and
Kissed their own players.
However, the Tigers put in the
winning run in the tenth.
Joe McGinnity pitched his third
game of the week and won. He
almost went down to defeat in
the first inning when three Beav-
ers crossed the plate. But every
body knows Joe's persistence In
the box. No game is lost until
the game is over.
