The Toledo High school team came
to Siletz Friday night to play the
Siletz High team. but the game was
called off as coach Miller protested
Graves, the now center of the Toledo
team, On the grounds that he was
not regularly enrolled high school
man, who could be eligible for high
school athletics. Mr.. Miller's own
statement, I'VE insist on playing
teams with only four year men, who
are actually covering the high school
course. According to Mr.. Cox, Graves
graduated from Washington High,
Portland in 1917 and is now making
some three credits, making 3-4 of
credit this semester Our men are
making from 2 to 2 IL credits this
semester; therefore it doesn't look
quite right to me. From my point of
view, Graves is equivalent to college
Sophmore, as far as athletics go, hav-
ing left Washington High in 1917"
What we need in this county is a
league, or association, to settle such
disputes. We must have one If athle-
tics are to be carried on in this coun;'
as high school athletics should be car
ried on. Mr.. Cox is heartily in favor
OF such league and so 1t Mr.. Teats,
of Newport. So we must have
league to settle disputes. No hard
feelings were shown over the dispute,
as Siletz high girls, under the able
direction of Miss Farnham, served a
banquet to the visitors and then games
were played at the public school till
the small hours. Siletz showed them
selves on the square by paying the ex-
pense money promised Toledo.
Snow in tho Siletz Valley was six
inches. The Government thermnm eter
showed degrees above zero on the
ccldesG night. No sickness, ard all
have plenty of food ard wood, thank
tie Lord.
