ents in both return games by larger
scores than they we're beaten. More
over, Ashland scored 112G points to
their opponents 80 in the eight games
Of the southern Oregon championship

The athletic field fence has been
repaired from the damage done by
the wind last winter and is now as
high and as strong as ever. The al
falfa has been cleared from the run
ming track along the inside of the
fence so that the track men may be
in less danger of sprained ankles.
The biggest basketball feed of the
year was held at the White residence
on East Main street last Tuesday
evening. Miss Parker was the host
ess and the banquet that was served
was fit for any king, The entire bas-
ketball squad of letter men were
present along with Professor Moore
and Coach Klum in appreciation of
Miss Parker's invitation, and they
certainly did justice to the eats"
About everything imaginable was
served and when the banquet was
finally finished there wasn't basket
shooter or a professor in the crowd
that could say he hadn't had plenty
to eat. The "unlucky 13" listened to
the music produced by one of Edi-
sons latest accomplishments and
then departed for Charlie Loomis'
place to collect drinks on Captain
elect Gravy Plymate, who was chos-
en- during the course of the feed.
Gravy beat it, however, and his
teammates had to do without their
annual treat at the hands of the new
ly elected captain, but Gravy is ex-
pected to come through sometime in
the near future. Those who attend
ed Miss Parker's welcome supper
were Professor F. E. Moore, Coach
Otto Klum, Captain Morris Plymate,
Robert Spencer, Milton Fraley, Cecil
Grisez, Lawson Riley, Dana Frame,
Kenneth Lilly, Howard Frame, Ralph
Harris. Harvey Gumaer and Kenneth
Cummings.
The track athletes are making fine
progress under the coaching of Pro-
fessors Moore and Mann and are be-
ginning to show some real form. The
most promising candidates for the
team are Charles Freeman, S. A.
Peters, r. l.. Burdic, Ralph Sails
bury and Harvey Gumaer. "Ding"
Garrett was out heaving a piece of a
railroad rail around the lot, too.
Ding" looks like real prospect.
Some of the manual training boys
have completed the batting cage and
| it was brought out on the athletic
| field last week. This prevents so
much pep being used up by climbing
| fences. ~
A number of the high school boys
are quite popular in the Boys Voca-
tional Club, and as a result number
OF them are running for offices in
the coming election next Thursday
evening. The high school has some
likely looking mayors and recorders,
and even Professor Klum is running
for councilman in the third ward.
Arrangements have been made so
that no high school activities will in
terfere with the Boys Club Mara
thon which is expected to come off
in a couple of weeks.
The girls are making arrangements
for indoor baseball to be played in
the gym.
Loud Sox day is coming! The date
of the first baseball game has always
been set aside as Loud Sox day and
on that date the brightest colored
socks and ties are the most accept
able. 1t is rumored that prizes will
be offered to the boy or girl wearing
the brightest decorations.
Charles Freeman was injured on
the athletic field last Friday after
noon. 1t seems that Charles was run
ming around the track and was acci-
dentally hit in the face by base
ball thrown by an overzealous ball
tosser. 1t was reported that his face
was badly bruised, but there will
probably be no serious after effects.
