house is being fitted up for basket
ball. The girls team is organized
and practice will begin at once.
A studentbody meeting was held
last Monday. The assembly voted
against adopting the state ASSOCIATION
rules for athletics, but an exception
was made in case we play association
teams. In that case we will play un-
der the association rules. Another
matter up for discussion at the meet
ing was the handling of the Lyceum
course. Committees were appointed
and everything is under way to make
the Lyceum course success. Stephen
Irwin was elected business manager
of the committee, who handle the
course.
We will have walk-over in ath-
letics this year, because Thomas
Hughes has the leadership Of the
yelling squad.

Tuesday and the following officers

Devin; secretary and treasurer, Cor
neia Johnson; sergeant at arms,
Clarence Scrivner.
With all due ceremony, pomp and
combustion the first football rally of
the season will be officially pulled off
next Friday night. The big bonfire
being constructed by the Freshmen
will be touched off, speeches will be
made, school and class yells yelled
and general pandemonium let loose.
The purpose of 1t all is to propitiate
the mighty God of Victory whose
wrathy frown has been turned upon
the Heppner football squad since
school opened. Lexington will be
burned in effigy and the ashes scat
tered to the four winds. Those in
charge promise an interesting pro-
gram and both townspeople and stu
dents are invited to be present at
the great fete. Following the rally
alb will adjourn home to await the
morrow when at 200 p. m. the ref
erees whistle will start the pigskin
into the air and incidentally usher in
the 1915 football season.
Speculation has been rife the last
week as to Heppner's chance for VIC
tory. The studentbody as a whole
do not realize the generally unfit con-
dition of the team. They are overcon-
fident, which is very undesirable
condition. Unfortunately the team
seems to have the same spirit. In fact
every one Is confident except Prof.
Motley, the coach, who attended the
Lexington~lone game last Saturday.
Prof. Motley believes that the score
of 80 to IL did not really indicate the
strength of the Lexington team. At
times the Lexington offense fairly
pushed lone off the field. His state
ment to the writer was 81 won't
prophesy the score till the final
whistle blows"
With the resolution of the student
body on last Monday to meet the
twenty-one age limit in football, the
last hope Of beefy team went glim-
mering. The decision eliminates
Clark and Scrivner, the big tackles,
both of whom will tilt the scales near
the two century mark. Harry Gro
shens (149 lbs.), although unexper-
fenced and not in good condition, will
take Clark's place in Saturdays game
with Lexington. Who will fill the
other tackle position is not yet known
as Aiken and Stephens, the two avail
able men, are on the sick list. Mich
olson, the diminutive center, has been
absent from practice lately due to q
cold. Copenhaver has been pulled in
from right end to fill that position
and Parker will probably hold down
