Thirst For
R-r-reVenge

Two weeks in which to add that
little something which the Lin
coin Park first team lacked last
Saturday. This is what coaches,
players and the student body al
the south end are saying.
And during the next fortnight
preparations such as never before
seen on Tacoma field are going
10 take place. Everybody in the
southend institution is working
to erase the sting of last Satur-
days defeat, and the dopesters
believe this is possible, barring
! the repetition of costly flukes
which defeated the red and blacH
team.
Principal Parker said today nc
one was discouraged over the de.
feat. feeling the team displayed
every bit as much as the more
fortunate opponents. Yet the
players are not over confident
realizing the team must play great
football to reverse the score.
Coach Perkins will not let the
grass grow under his feet during
the period between now and the
next game, but will send the
squads through the milling every
evening.

May Have
to Give Up
Opera Plan

There is a possibility the Sta
dunn opera stars having to aban-
don their plans of giving the
Bohemian Girl" for their an
.nual musical production.
/ The orchestrion and voice parts
for some reason were sent in diff.
ferent keys. Letters were writ
ten the publishers, with the hopes
of obt ming music in correspond
ing keys. but 1t Is hardly proba.
BILE Supervisor Ball will be able
to obtain the desired scores. In
this case IL would be necessary to
have the orchestrion rewritten In
another key, requiring an added
expenditure of more than 800.
Principal Hunt said this was
hardly advisable. as 1t was neces-
sary for the high school to clear
some money this year to pay fol
the new grand piano installed
this semester.
In case the change is decided
on new tryouts will be held for
some light opera which will be
available.

Debate
Tryout
Coming

Lincoln Park debaters are to
try out Wednesday afternoon for
places on the team that will rep
resent the high school in the
state championship debate on the
question. Resolved, that the
Monroe doctrine should be dis
continued"
The debate probably will be
held In one of the class rooms be-
fore the judges only instead of
before the entire student body as
was done at Stadium last week,
according to Principal Parker.
Stadium tryouts last week re-
suited in the selection of Robert
Shaw, Beatrice Wright and Her
man Theil, three strong speakers.
The winners of the Lincoln
Park tryouts will no doubt be
forced to meet the Stadium team
as these are two of the strongest
schools In the Puget Sound divis-
ion.

sort who needed to be coaked a
bit. He knew a few cheers from
the crowd would be like touch
ing a spark plug and that with a
bit of encouragement Duffy would
be the same good ballplayer he
had formerly been.
From the moment the series
started Lewis looked like a mil
lion dollars. In the first game
he got two hits off Alexander and
drove in the only run the Sox
scored. In the second game he
got one hit off Mayer.
In the third game Lewis stood
out like a house afire. He got
three hits off Alexander and won
the ball game with a timely sin
gle in the ninth inning. He won
the fourth game with a two-saok-
er in the sixth. In the fifth, with
Gamer on first and the score 4
to 2 in favor of the Phils, Duffy
poled a homer into the bleachers.

More Time
For Typists

The great demand by night
students taking typewriting at
Stadium high shcool has led AS
sistant Superintendent Osburn to
grant more practice hours.
From now on the tipping rooEls
will be open to beginners at $3.50
p. m. on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday evenings.
Instructors in the commercial
department urge that the students
take advantage of the opportunity
and come early.
This method will do away with
the congested conditions of the
typewriting classes, which are
proving to be one of the most
popular of the evening courses.
