GAME WITH PASCO
FRIDAY EVENING
kennewick Boys Defeat Yakima
by SO to IL Score -Four
Straight Victories


The Kennewick high school basket
ball boys are sailing right along with
good prospects for really victorious
season. In the game last Friday with
Yakima they walked away with yet
another victory, with score of SO to
IL. This makes four straight victor
les.
One of the hottest games of the
year is expected Friday evening of this
week, when the local team will play
Pasco here. In their first game of the
season Kennewick defeated Pasco on
their own floor but the team from over
the river is said to be coming with the
determination of evening up scores.
The game will be double-header, as
the girls of the two schools will play.

TEXAS MAN SAYS
OIL is HERE
ID. c. Priddy Declares Local Field
is Most Promising Prospect
He Has Ever Seen

ID. c. Priddy, business manager OF
the Rattlesnake Hills Oil company
has opened temporary offices in the
Commercial Hotel and for the next
two weeks will devote his time to pre-
senting his company's proposition to
the people of Kennewick.
Mr.. Priddy has had many years of
experience in the oil game, not only
as an organizer but as an actual pro-
ducer and he still holds interests in
several producing wells in the Texas
fields. Since boyhood he has been in
timatcly acquainted with the Burk-
burnett field which has been so graph
ically described by Mr.. Atwood in
recent series of articles in the Satur-
day Evening Post. AS matter of
fact Mr.. Priddy carries letters of re-
commendation from several of the
Texas men whom Mr.. Atwood saws
rose from business men of modest
incomes to millionaires almost over
night.
Altho the big strike at Burkburnett
has been made since Mr.. Priddy be-
came interested in the local field and
he owns large tract of land within
the oil area, he refuses to become ex-
cited about Texas and continues to in
sist that the local field is the most
promising prospect he has ever seen.
He says they had been drilling dry
holes around Burkburnett for eight
years before oil was struck and they
had not there as here the gas as a
stimulus to continued effort. He in
sists that the oil is here and that it /
is not question of eff" but "when."
Mr.. Priddy reports that in view of |
war conditions his company has made
very satisfactory progress and that
they have more than passed the half
way mark in assembling finances
necessary to carry on their operations.
His plan of financing, which is fully
outlined in a full-page advertisement
n this issue, is one that has proved
he most successful in Texas and Ok
ahoma oil fields.

Attendance Good

Not since October has the attend
ance been as good as it is now. With
the exception of few pupils in the
primary grades and those from one
Tor two families living in the country
the attendance is according to the fall
enrolment. A very large per cent of
the pupils are working hard to make
up the lessons missed, and if the par
ents will require their children to do
some home studying it will better the
chances of the pupils promotion at
the end of the year.
Last week was mid-year examina-
ton time at the high school. There
were not more than the usual num-
Der of failures. This week, the high
school students seem more determined
than ever to get the full years work
done. The spirit of the school is fine.
Kids Play Baseball
The sporting event of the season
was pulled off without much adven-
tising or preliminary noise. It was a
game of baseball between the sixth and
seventh grades, played on the athletic
field last Friday afternoon. The score
was 21 to 13 in favor of the sixth
grade. This defeat of the seventh
grade boys by what they call the
kids" was humiliating, but not en-
tirely crushing. They say they will
take the cockiness out of the sixth
grade team next time.
The spring-like days have brought
the larger boys out of doors for much
of their recreation. Baseball and foot
ball practice will soon supplant the
basketball activities. An all around
athletic coach and physical director
employed by the school would be an
invaluable asset to the faculty.
