The Hood River quintet will enter
tain the White Salmon team here to-
morrow night and will try 10 oust them
from their position at the top of the
percentage column. These two teams
played the first game in the league this
wear and Hood River lost 30-5. How
ever. the local team did not play the
game at that time as fast as they play
il now. White Salmon was walloping
Stevenson at White Salmon last Friday
night at the same time that The Dalles
was performing here and Coach Critics
realizes that his team is not going to
have a pink tea to attend here. The
local team has been whipped more reg.
ularly the past saeson and SO far this
season than any other team in the
league. They are fine looking bunch
of tossers on paper but The Dalles had
everything on them last Friday night.
A team will be picked from Jones,
Thomas. Abraham, Johnsen, Lewis,
Button and Cooper TO perform against
White Salmon. 1t is probable that
Hicks Button will break into this game
at center in an effort to break the los
ing streak.
Mary Sheppard scored first and
Aileen Tomkins second at the debate
at Literary last Thursday night. The
question debated was, Resolved, That
the fifteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition should be repealed. " The
amendment refers to the enfranchise-
ment of negroes. The debate was won
by the affirmative. The two others in
the debate were Laurence Hershner
and Harold Blackman. 1t has been
found that the masculine pOlemics at
II. r. II. S. are always defeated when
they enter into competition with the
weaker sex, which only goes to show
that you can't argue with woman.
In order to make it possible for a few
of the boys to get in the finals for the
Woman's club cup the plan is being
followed this year of having boys
teams debate against one another.
The Junior class replenished the class
treasury by the sum of SIS last Satur-
day when they held a candy sale at
Woods grocery. The money is to be
used to entertain the seniors at the an
ual junior senior event next month.
Miss Allison Johnston, who arrived
here last week, to teach in the place
made vacant by the resignation Of
Miss Flora Furrow, decided that the
oy oyerseeing of a bunch like the II. r.
h. S. students was too strenuous a life
and she, herself, resigned last Friday
morning. Mrs. Phil Carroll, of Oak
Grove, who was pedagogue at Al
bany high school before her marriage,
is now holding sway over the fourth
wear delegation. Mrs. Carroll is al.
ready popular among the students and
will have no difficulty in finishing out
the year.
DR.. H. L. Dumble presented the
high school with marble bust of Lin
coin on Lincoln's birthday last Friday.
The big question now up at the high
school is where to locate the bust so
that it will not be broken. The high
school has no case where they can put
their cups and trophies on exhibition.
A move was started last year to pro-
vide something in that line and it is
probable that one will be supplied
some way now that they have this sur
plus masonry to take care of.
The Parent Teacher Association will
meet at library hall tonight. This is an
opportunity for the parent and peda-
gogues to get together for the better
ment of the school and the meetings
should be and are we'll attended and in
teresting programs is arranged for this
evening and all are invited.
Clarence Hale. the snappy forward
on the Odell school team who also
plays on the Odell Athletic Association
team entered H. R. H. S. yesterday.
Hale practiced with the high school
quintet yesterday afternoon and may
get chance to show what he can do
against White Salmon tomorrow night.
He is enrolled in the sophomore class.
The basket ball game tomorrow night
is the last one the team will appear in
here at home this season. and conse
quently the H. r. h. S. rooters are
getting in fine trim for the game. The
next two games will be at Stevenson
Feb. 26 and the season will be finished
at The Dales March or later. The
Dalles team has played no games on
its own floor so far this season. as the
new high school and gymnasium now in
course of construction there will not be
completed before March 5. The Dalles
quintet is picked by many who saw the
game:Iast Friday night to finish on top
again this year.
At a meeting of the track asplrants
last Friday Fred Coshow was elected
temporary track captain. The spikers
will turn out soon for cross country
running so as to get an early start this
season. Veteran track men who are
back in line this year are Thomas, In
holz and Stanton, sprinters, Pape and
Jones, vaulters, Thomas and V. Jones,
high jump, Cooper, weights, and Stan
ton, broad jump. Other promising men
are Hale, Button, Pape. Coshow. Lam
caster, Regnell, Lafferty and Abraham
Thomas won first in all the sprints in
1918 against The Dalles team and is
picked as an easy winner this season.
Altogether the prospects are good for
giving The nalles track team hard
run for track honors this spring.
