AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

The four mid Columbia high schools
which were lined up in the basket ball
league are now fighting for base
ball pennant. The pennant has been on
display in the window at Franz Hard
ware Co. for the past two weeks.
Walter Nichol was eliminated from
the Woman's club cup debate last
week, needing two thirds of point.
After all elimination debates were held

these had to be thinued out so as to

the final summing up Nichol had the
lowest average. Julius Jacobsen had
the highest average and Mark Moe sec.

Lura Merrick; negative, Mark Moe,
Grace Regnell and Bessie Stevens. The
subject will be announced later.
The tennis courts are the scene OF
athletic warfare at present. The new
courts were finished last week and are
occupied from 7 a. m. to p. m. nova
days with only short intermissions dur
ing school hours. Competition is strong
both on the boys and girls teams for
places this year.
The Dalles athletic management has
written asking for track meet at that
place either April II or "a. The local
spiking cohorts are celebrating on the
matter, but will probably accept the
later date. Track spirit has disap-
peered somewhat during the last two
weeks, and Hood River would probably
make poor showing in dual meet.
At meeting last Thursday Howard
Cooper was elected track captain.
Numerous cases of thefts have been
reported during the past school year.
The largest loss reported so far was
last week, when somebody took a
watch from Clifford Porter's locker

manual training department has been
the scene of several raids. On one trip
the culprit malciously hacked library

waxed A typewriter was stolen from
the office last fall. Since the latest
theft several sleuths are on the job
trying to break up the string Of thefts.

final debate, so the program will con.

defeat at base ball, so Capt Pape does
not expect very much trouble there.
The team goes up against Stevenson
