Suffering one of the worst cases of over
confidence ever experienced in their history and
handicapped by incapable officials, the KRIS.
squad could do no more to the down river
team than emerge from the battle in Sc tie
The game was played mostly in Touchet
territory and at times scoring looked certain
only to result in penalty which prevented
the crossing of the Touchet goal more than
once Touchet scored at the end of TIE first
quarter when they intercepted pass as the
quarter ended and raced 60 yards for a touch
down.
Kennewick scored in the third quarter when
Hudnall went off tackle for the eight yards
necessary, to the goal. Lincoln failed to con-
vert. Kennewick held the ball most of the last
quarter, but when scoring distance was near
the little town referee thought of some ancient
rule to prevent K.H.S. from scoring.
The game was full of flaws from start to
finish and to pick star is a hard proposition.
Garrett looked best in the line while G. Lincoln
and Hudnall shared the limelight in the back
field.
Next Friday, tomorrow, Kennewick will meet
it's bitterest rival, Pasco, in the most important
game of the season. Altho the Touchet game
was not won it served to take the over-conf-
dence from the boys and leave them fighting
mad to get revenge on Pasco.
The starting lineup last Friday: Kerchen
at center; Cox and Tullar at guards, Wooden
and Garrett tackles and Campbell and Cott-
man ends. In the backfield "Dutch' Lincoln
called signals with Capt. Boyer and Broughman
at halves and Hudnall at fulIback.
Substitutions: G. Lincoln for Broughman.

Sincerity in Reading

"Read and see, as far as you
can" says Sir Henry Hadow, "the
difference between good work and
bad, and you will come to like
thin,s which you first of all thought
dull, austere and inaccessible"
That is the secret. Whatever one
reads should be read with critical
eve, not merely raced through for
the sake of its passing interest,
but more or less studied for the
qualities it possesses. Every book,
however poor, contains something
new and instructive. If one reads
for Improvement as well as interest,
an appreciation Of the best will
come as a matter of course"

D for Denarius

The sd" in English money is the
abbreviation for penny" 1t stood
originally for the Latin denarlus,
a coin of value equivalent to the
Anglo-Saxon penny. Medieval mon
ey changers continued its use as
an abbrevation for the penny and
gave it a fixed place in English Gus
tom. A penny is approximately
equal to two cents. The half pen
nv is therefore about the equiva-
lent of our cent.
