HIGH SCHOOL NEWS.

Last Friday morning Supt. w. C..
Wilson called all the boys from the
fifth grade through the high school in
the chapel and gave a very interest
ing talk about athletics in high school.
He told them what great advantages
they were to them, physically, men,
tally and every other way. And every
boy would be required to take part
in some way from now on. He told
the captain of the team to keep a
roll book and call the roll every day
and in that way he could tell who
was taking part. In connection with
this he gave another lecture to the
cigarette smokers, Gas usuaD and of
course everybody knows what he said
about lie dope sticks.
Track Meet to be Held in Lexingto ton
The schedule for the Interscholas-
tic Tournament that will be held at
the University of Kentucky May IL
ID, IA and Is was given last year by
William l.. Anderson, physical di-
rector of the University. The annual
tournament was held on Stoll Field
last May, with the contests in music
and oratory at the Woodland Park
Auditorium. Much interest was arous-
ed at that meeting, and indications
are that the tournament this year,
will be larger and peter than last.
The high schools are divided into
two classes, A and B, according to
the size of the town and there will be
a meet for each of the two classes,
following which will be an interclass
meet.
Wilson Takes Interest
Mr.. Wilson has taken deep inter-
est in athletics and Stanford should
have a winning team. We will not
forget that Mr.. Wilson took a team
from Stanford last year and took ev-
erything that class 3 offered. He
ought to do the same this year, for
he has the material and with little
practice ought to top class B. The
musical and oratorical contests will
be held the same dates. We will have
representatives in the said contests.
Prospects Good for a Base Ball Team
Last week the base pail team began
to throw the horse-hide around the
lot, and we found bunch numbering
about thirty, all in their uniforms.
Try for the first team, Nuf sed,
Guess we will have a team. The new
corners will probably give the regu-
lars fight for their positions. Wood
and Cash will still do the receiving.
First base seems to be the most popu-
lar place of the day, with Coleman,
Mobley and Cover trying to hold it
down. AS we can use them all up
then, one of the said gents will prob
ably land an outer berth, as they all
are clouters, and that is what the
team needs. S. Embry and Tucker
are hanging around the keystone base
and both are showing much pep. Glenn
Hill is trying to fill his brother
shoes around S. s., but Anderson says
he has no chance. Captain Perkins
will still play around the third cush-
ion. Everybody and his granny are
trying for the three fields. There were
sixteen out there last week, hollering
KNOCK Me One" About half this
number will be sent back to the hol-
low next week, so Shanks, j Embry
Cash, Noe and one or two of the in.
field men will have a chance to battle
for the gardens. Shanks and Embry
were regulars last year. The pitchers
are passing, and pitching little but
they have not cut loose with theil
speed and curves yet, on account OF
their arms. Lephew is still on the
force. Embry and Cover will take
turn in the box, but if anybody evel
happens to ask yor tell them we
have some southpaw. There is guy
that stands six feet two inches anC
weighs about 175 pounds and is about
/ to drive Woods arm into his ribs. Pc,
Sampson is the gent With the add
ton of Sampson, the pitching staff
should be strong. Get your season
