Football Game Saturday; Re-
turn Contest Next Week on
Local Lot VS.. Nezperce.

Athletics are booming at the Grange
vile high school and in the future the
student body of this splendid institution
may be expected to occupy places in
the front rank of high school athletics
as well as in all other branches OF
school work. Heretofore, In the highly
successful effort of attaining efficiency
in the various departments of the course
of study, the teachers and students
alike have been compelled to pass only
lightly upon athletics and If any phase
of the school work has been neglected
1t has been this important feature.
However, with fine prospects ahead,
particularly in basketball and football.
the Grangeville high school cannot be
rated as a back number athletically.
The students are ready right now to
make that modest claim. In a few
weeks they may be claiming the cham
pionship of all the high schools around.
Football Game Arranged.
Under the coaching of Mr.. F. G.
Robinson, the new agriculture instructor
cracking good football team has been
organized and whipped into shape and
the first game of the season for the G.
H. S. boys will take place at Nezperce
Saturday when the two teams meet in
day of next week the Nezperce boys
will play return game on the G. H.
S. field and for the first time in years
Grangeville folks will be treated to the
novelty of a real football game on the
home grounds. Here's hoping the local
boys win both at Nezperce and at home
next week.
Speaking of athletics and other school
work Superintendent Rice said yester-
day:
Much interest is being manifested
IN athletics and we are glad to see 1t
At this point, however, we desire t'
, make our position clear in regard t.
the relation of athletics to the worl
. of school. We believe the right kin'
: of athletics can aid the work of tn
: school; that athletics is a means, no
am end. The primary purpose OF eac'
student is to master the subject
studied Whenever anything detract
from ability to do such work, then
- becomes an evil and should be discon
;. tinued We intend that the Grange
Vile high school as well as the grade
:. shall be known for it's intellectual stan
ard Never do we intend for athletic
. to become such a god as to cause l
to lose sight of the real puspose
=. the school So long as our boys al
-, girls use athletics in proper wa
every teacher will lend his support al
80 his encouragement. but the moment tn
begin to fall short in their school wor
we will have no more athletics.
Good Attendance Reported.
