Chinese Are Amazed at Miller Measure

From various association members,
however, there Is much amazement
leveled at Mr.. Miller.
The boys down in Chinatown can't
understand why Americans shouldn't
like tong members, for they are moth

There's nothing mysterious about

PROMISE STRONG
TEAM IN FALL

The football team Of the Belt VAL
ley High School played only three
games this season against outside
teams. They tied with Great Falls
Seconds twice and defeated Stanford.
Considering the fact that many Of
the team were playing their first
games, their success was unexpected
and possibly worked to their disad-
vantage since Geraldine and Stanford
cancelled other scheduled games.
The team has disbanded. their
suits have been turned in. but the
boys are busy with plans for next
fall.
During this season two teams have,
almost every evening, been out for
practise and next year win find n
full squad who have had some ex-
perience in the game. Each boy is
planning on directing some other
boys eyes toward Belt High for the
fall term and they say that they win

will call them out for spring practise
in order that they may not forget

With such spirit shown among them
it is not to be wondered at that the
cosch is not considering games with
