Keeping Up Good Record

Our football is still keeping
up the good record with which
it started this years work. On
election day we played a tie
game z to z, with Gresham II. s.
at Gresham. 1t was the hard
est fought game thus far in the
season. The Gresham boys were
full of fight, and to counter
balance this our boys were just
as full of the fighting spirit, so
naturally every foot of ground
gained by either side was fierce
ly contested. The Gresham
team, which played us several
weeks ago on our own grounds,
was considerably lighter than
the team we played in this Sec
ond game at Gresham. This
fact, together with the difference
in the grounds, accounts for the
tie score. The James John boys
escaped uninjured except for a
scratch or two about which they
only laugh; but Gresham s, right
half back hurt his knee in the
last half of the game, which is
liable to keep him out of the
game the rest of the season.
The single touch down made
by James John was a very spec
tacular bit of work accomplished
by Manager Wrinkle.
After neatly catching a for
ward pass on about the twenty
yard line. he dashed through a
broken field for a touchdown.
leaving behind, sprawled out
On the ground, men who had

The boys enjoyed the trip very
much, tho they had to make il
in a rush. To the regret of both
players and the rest of the high
school, il was impossible 10 ar
range to have the support of the
student body at the game.
After the game. Capt. Mac
tried to satisfy his hunger with
cream puffs. IL was reported
that some of these same puffs.
together with Macs charming
smile. won him favor with a
bunch of Gresham's fair maids,
BE that as il may. celery, cider
and a supper at Gresham's best
hotel satisfied the rest of the
boys.

Compensation

OF all the troubles in this wide
world,
Or rgriefs beneath the sun,
| think the worst and hardest Of
all
Is being the middle one.
When somebody asks you out to
the show,
The folks say you ought to
know
That only big girls like sister
Bess
Are ever allowed to go.
Or when we have company come
to.tea,
And a special dish to be made.
Why you'rei snot experienced
enough
And dinner must not be de-
layed.
You.hear the company praise the
cook,
And Bess takes all with a
smile.
You know you could have done
just as well.
But must keep still all the
while.
But then when il comes TO a
different line
Dish washing or floors to
sweep,
Or dusting the corners of cup
board or shelf.
Or rocking the baby TO sleep
OF course you are older than
. Helen. and she
Might break mothers china
so rare
Or upset the flowers high on the
stand.
And ruin the varnish so fair.
But then you feel decidedly good
When mother says, with a
kiss.
"If we didn't have Polly always
around
am afraid all would go
amiss."
Then father. he says, as he
pinches her arm,
And gathers his pipe from the
shelf.
81 guess that is true. mother.
just as you say,
Cause Pegs such spry little
elf."
So now am sure you are fully
convinced,
Tho you may be the middle
one,
You must be content. even tho
You are too old or too young.
