About fifty members of the
Country Club assembled at the
club house Friday night to eat
and talk it over. The food COM
mittee had provided a most de-
lectable menu, and every one
present made a short talk
some shorter than others. Re-
ports were read and improve
ments discussed. Good fellow
ship was a most pleasing fea-
ture, and everyone was made to
realize more and more what a
membership in the organization
meant. The membership is fast
nearing the limit, and an effort
is being made to reach that linn
it at once.

ROCKHURsT WAS
DEFEATED
Coach WikOff's Boys 0utclassed
The Visitors And Won
81 to 25.

Ot W AOs
The members of the Rock
hurst College basket ball team
acquired some wisdom Friday
night. They came to the Went
worth gym with an unbroken
string Of victories over some of
the best teams in Kansas City
and Kansas, and it is quite pos
sible they were in a wrong state
of mind to play their usual game.
But no matter about their
state of mind, they were played
to a standstill by the Went
worth quintet. And the victory
was so decided and the work of
the cadets so superior that it
is hard to account for their vic
tory over the cadets in Kansas
City some time back.
Wentworth began the game by
making baskets. Rockhurst
never had a show. Wenner at
center for Wentworth was out
jumping the celebrated Will
Jams, Rockhurst's center, and
not infrequently did the ball
from the tip-off go whizzing
straight for a basket. The ca
dets were lightning fast, elu-
sive as eels and they shot bas-
kets from every position con-
ceivable. Little Millet was like
mercury, he wouldn't stay put
anywhere. His opponent had tC
do some sharp shooting to gel
baskets. And Bradfield, anC
Strickler, and Walters, we're af.
ter the ball like hawks; and
Wenner-some Wenner, some
player! The first half ended
with Wentworth leading 21 Il

Williams for Rockhurst, made
three long shots, one was from
beyond the center line, the long
est ever made in the Wentworth
gym.

WENTWORTH WINS
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Takes First Game From KEN
per By An Eye-Lash.

featlng Kemper II to rs, but
only after one of the most heart
rendering struggles ever seen
on basket ball court-a bat
tie that sent a hilarious crowd
of maddened fans shouting
homeward. Kemper led until
the last three minutes of play.
Then Bradfeld's two baskets
tied the score. While the crowd
lifted the roof a fve-minute
play-off was begun. Millet, tiny
Wentworth guard, found a
small opening down the center,
dribbled in among the guards,
and shot. The ball trembled on
the rim of the basket, then
swished gently through the net,
carrying victory and the cham
pionship with it for Coach Wi
koff's men. Kemper died hard,
but Wenner and his mates play
ing for time-tactics so tantaliz-
ing that the Kemper team grew
frantic with desperation, but
they never got the ball near
their basket again. The final
pistol shot left w. M. A. in the
lead by the small margin of two
points, q to 25.
The game in the gym beggars
description. A large crowd
packed the the sidelines. Pat
Mason blew the starting whistle
and baml From the tip-off w.
M. A. made basket. But Kem-
per was out to winl Right back
Kemper came with two baskets
which gave them a lead-a lead
which was kept until those last
frantic minutes. The X. M. s.
guards successfully broke up
Coach Wikoff's offensive while
on the other hand two smooth
forwards, Cowell and Daley
kept wriggling through W. M
AS defense-even by big Slim
Wenner-and making shot after
shot. The local cadets fought
desperately, however, and now
and then Strickler or Walter
managed to ease one through
When the first half ended Kem-
per led 20 to 10.
That last halfl Nearly every
one went stark crazy. Those
two teams fought like snarling
wildcats. Both teams settled
down to vicious guarding. And
for long time it seemed that
w. M. A. never would get start
ed. Kemper increased their
lead 25 to 21. It was then that
Wentworth rooters almost lost
hope and began to accept the in
evitable with meekness and res
ignation. But it happened
Bradfeld, with a glare of des-
peration in his eyes, fought
down the court. Twice he shot
for the hoop! Twice the ball
fingered reluctantly on the rim,
then dropped through. The half
ended % to 25.
When the five-minute play
off began the hearts of all the
crowd were in their mouths
Every person was on his feet,
up on chairs, screaming and
squalling like lunatics. The bat
tie was resumed. Then Millet
the tiny guard shot his victory
basket A moment later he
went out on his fourth personal
foul, but the damage was donel !
Big Slim Wenner, guard and
captain superb of the w. M. A.
five, sized up the situation and
and cody began to play a de-
laying game. For the last three
minutes the Wentworth players
kept the ball passing among
themselves, not attempting an
offensive. The Kemper players
charged like mad bulls upon the
Wentworth man with the ball,

class has arranged a new plan Of
study for this week. Two members
of the class have chosen sides and
the side getting the lowest grades
has to entertain the other side. The
entertainment is to be a party with
light refreshments and games.
Operetta practice is progressing
rapidly. Some changes have been
made in the cast, and the present one
is working hard. From what we hear
of it we feel sure that it is going to
be the best ever put on in Heppner.
At the program given under the
auspices of the Patron Teachers as
sociation last Tuesday evening, Miss
Hull, who is representing the Ellison
White Lyceum circuit, addressed the
audience for about ten minutes. The
audience was requested to sign up
for the number of tickets they we're
intending to purchase for the lyceum
for the coming year. This gave the
members of the Patron Teachers as
.sociation some idea Of what the town
people thought of the lyceum work.
AT the Patron Teachers association
meeting which was held Immediately
following the program it was decided
no to have the lyceum course.
Since the recent adoption of new
law in H. H. S., the students heads
are seen frantically looking in every
direction before they ask permission
to speak. Study hall has been much
quieter since then, but it is rather
hard to tell when the other fellow is
through.
The biology class informed us that
they had completed their long themes
at last. The class was divided into
groups of three persons, each group
writing a paper of 5000 words on
some biological subject.

The first one was the result Of for
felt by lone. They wanted to play
an ineligible girl, and rather than put
in a substitute they forfeited the
game, making the score 2 to | ir
Heppner's favor.
The same two teams then played
as town teams. 1t was a very fas
and clean game, with the score end
ing IS to IA in Heppner's favor,
Arlene Balsiger made the frs
two baskets for lone, but after tha
Heppner popped up and lone was
unable to get more than four points
ahead. The first score for Heppnel
was free throw. AT the end of the
FIRST half the score was 10 to 8 If
lone's favor.
There were three minutes left ir
the last half to play. The score wa;
La to 10 in favor of lone. Every
girl in each team was playing hel
best when Elaine Sigsbee, for Hepp
ner, threw a basket. Still Heppnel
needed two more points to make the
game a tie, and only one minute was
left to play. Just before the whistle
blew Sigsbee made another baske
and the score was IA to Ia. The
teams then rested FIVE minutes be
fore playing the five minutes tha
had been agreed on to play of tht
tie. Each team went on the floo
determined to win, and as a resul
neither team made a basket unit
fifty seconds before time for th'
whistle to blow. 1t was Elaine Slgs
bee again who came to our rescue b,
throwing basket making the fina
score Ia to Is.
The team work on both sides wa
excellent. The star for Heppner wa

game as guard. The two centers al
so played good game, The lineup

Last Friday our boys went to lone

The game started with a spectacular
basket from the tip-off by Linn Of
lone. lone showed herself to be
much stronger than she was in the
other game and the first quarter end
ed 8 to 5 in Ione's favor. The sec
ond quarter started with Heppner's
team hitting their stride and bringing
the score at the end of the first
half to 10 to II in Heppner's favor.
The score in the third quarter see
sawed back and forth with neither
team having an advantage and the
quarter ended with score of 10 all.
After about four minutes of play in
the last quarter lone secured a lead
and started passing the ball in Hepp-
ners end of the court. Heppner
was unable to effecfually break up
their passing and the game ended
% to 26 in Ione's favor. Linn, for
ward, secured almost two-thirds Of
Ione's points and made a good many
brilliant shots from the floor in the
first half. The rest of Ione's team
passed we'll and their teamwork, and
Linn's individual playing were the
causes of Heppner's defeat. DOH
