- -~S~J
The basketball team has at last
made their debut, to their own discred-
it, however. Last Friday Coach Co.
hoon took Capt. Johnson. Lafferty,
Breed, Hale, Robbins and Nickelsen to
Goldendale. The team didn't arrive
there until after nine O'Clock in the
evening, and without having had any.
thing to eat since breakfast time, were
required to walk about mile and play
the basketball game. which they lost
40-l0. On Saturday evening the game
started off little different and for the
first ten minutes the local quintet
played the others off their feet, but
somehow they couldn't follow up the
lead probably because of a lack of
wind, because they were beaten again
not quite so bad but 36-ls.
Monday morning the letter men of
the past football season held meeting
and elected Leon Bentley captain for
the 1916 season. The past year he won
his letter while holding down the diff
cult berth of end. Ii is being rumored
that he will try out for the backfield
next year, but there is no known au-
thority for this. he weighs 140 pounds
and is rather fast on his feet, which is
very good for high school team.
M. S. Pitman, representing the State
Normal School at Monmouth, visited
the school last Friday and delivered a
very Interesting lecture on What Can
do?" He is undoubtedly the most
enthusiastic and interesting speaker
that has visited the school this year,
and when he tours the state again as
be is doing at present, his visit will be
most heartily welcomed.
The new students that have entered
McLucas, Robert Henderson and Ken
meth Hicks. 1t has been reported that
Hicks is good pitcher, and for this
reason his coming to the school will be
regretted by no one. to say the least.
The second basketball team organ
lied Monday and elected Floyd Wright
captain. They have scheduled few
games already and expect to play this
season teams at Odell, Mosier. Cascade
Locks and White Salmon beside the
regular high school varsity. Tomorrow
both the boys and girls teams 90 to
Stevenson, Wash. This is the girls
only game. At least it is the only
game that Manager Betty Epping has
been able to secure. Capt. Vera Laf-
ferty was star player last year. and
it is rather shame that she will not
have chance to gain more glory in
her last year in high school.
The freshman class entertained the
sophomores in party given at Library
hall last Saturday night. Everyone
present reported very enjoyable time.
