 The student body at the High School showed their loyalty to the football team yesterday morning when Coach Bassett called for yells for the team, and the response was with much more enthusiasm than ev- CT before. The students are behind the team this year and intend to sup port them as heartily as ever. Sever al yells were given for the team and arose and cheered the student body in return. They also showed their loy- alty to Coach Bassett by cheering him time after time. Although not liking to be classed as quitters yet they don't blame the coach in the least for taking them off the field at Fordyce Saturday and all signi- fled their intention of supporting him in everything whether right or wrong. If the Fordyce officials had not tried to rub it in" so hard the coach would have stood for their treatment, but when it became apparent that they intended to have the game at any cost Coach Bassett did what any oth- CT man who is man would have done, took his ball and followed by his thoroughly indignant team repair ed to the hotel. However the team is not discouraged by the outcome of the game Saturday but intend to work harder than ever before to get in condition for the speedy Portland bunch Friday. The Fordyce game was really the first game of the sea- son for the local boys and was the first opportunity for Coach Bassett to get line on his men. He will begin immediately to strengthen the weak places and polish the rough edges. The coach was thoroughly satisfied with the work of the team in the game last week with few exceptions and says he thinks he has a team of championship calibre. Jones, left guard and tower of strength in the line, received nasty cut over his eye Saturday and it is doubtful whether he will play in the Portland game. With the exception of Jones, the team received no injuries other than a few cuts and bruises and the coach will be able to put them through some strenuous work this week. A full squad reported for practice yesterday and put in full two hours work. Ed Albright, who so painfully surprised the Fordyce bunch by his terrific line plunges, was given a good work out yesterday and demonstrated to the scrubs that he is still alive there with the punch.
 Although the High School was not represented last year in the Guar tette Contest of the state field meet yet Mir. Allen feels that hard work and competent instructor a quar- tette at the High School will be able to win. Mir. Allen will organize {: double quartette who will begin prac- tlce at once. When the time comes to enter the contest the four best will be chosen by the director to represent the High School. MT. Allen has not announced yet who will be gotten to dlrect the work of the quartette. The quartette contest at the annual field meet is new idea tried for the first tlme last year, but it caused so much interest and was so successful that It will be continued every year. MT. Allen intends this to be the banner year at the High School and is anx-
 
 lous to "clean up" in everything at the meet this year. The fact that the meet will be held here is an added /, terest to the pupils who will ente, the contests this year and they are all enthused with the ideal of taking ev- cry honor.
 owing to the fact that the football team will leave for Portland on Fri day and will not be in the city, the oorosis Society were kind enough to move their especially prepared Hal iowe'en program up a day and have u on Thursday. This will be the llrst of the special programs of the oorosls Society this year. but their success was SO marked last year that IS an assured fact that whenever tue announcement is made that the sososls will give n open program
