SIGNS OF spRING-Robert Campbell

Spring is here. The bright sunny days, the
return of our birds from the south, the green
ing grass, the budding trees and the appear
ance of the first sage rats all prove it. But a
still more definite proof would be view of
the K. III. S. campus at noon.
Each noon a number of boys hurriedly eat
their lunch then dash for the shower from
which they soon emerge with three favorite
track articles. The shot put the discuss, and
tie javelin. They go to their arena a short dis
tance from the high school and begin to warm
up. Then you have to be on the lookout all
the time to escape these flying dangers.
The husky, strong armed Cox battles to beat
the great shot puter, Freedman, but Cottman
betters them both. But to see Elmer Faulds
put the shot is the funniest sight we ever saw.
He gets all set, ready to let it fly, but about
that time the shot calmly rolls off his hand
and drops upon his toe.
With the discuss Cox and "Buck" Rupp have
things about their own way, that is, they were
until one noon Freddie Garrett stepped out and
quires form. If you have the correct form it is
through the air. If in addition you have great
strength you are fitted to become champion.
As for the javelin there are no champions
A piece has been broken off of the end of it
and left it badly unbalanced. For this reason
the high school students generally ignore it,
but in spite of its delapidated condition the
smaller children, from the fifth grade up, get
unlimited enjoyment out of it.

FEATURES

The sophomores held candy sale at the big
game Friday night. Who knows but that was
the reason we lost the battle. We wonder if
the players ate any Of the candy. While many
took this as a chance to appease an appetite,
more, imagine, suffered from an acute at
tack of indigestion.
Friday was Valentines day. While Sunday
was Lincoln's birthday. Many thought that
Monday should have been a holiday. Tuesday
the drug store was as usual, crowded with
high students. But instead of being around the
magazine rack they were clustered around the
Valentine department Me thinks there were
not too many disappointments.

Last Friday evening our girls met the Pros
ser girls on the home floor. The game was
started with the following Hne-up: Bachman
and Boyer, centers; Hitchcock and Shepard
guards; Helen and C. Kramer, forwards At
first both sides failed to hit the hoop but the
half ended with Kennewick in the lead
For time the girls were expecting a victory
but two of our guards were fouIed out and this
made the game harder to fight. However, the
girls out with tie score, 81 all. This
will probably be the last girls basketball game
this season.

Last week when the pcnnant
races in the two leagues were at
their height, New York was wild
ith baseball frenzy. Then. when il
was all settled, things quieted down,
and last night down town one had
TO look for an excited fan. Even
around those hotels where the teams
are quartered or where baseball
folk are wont to stay, there was an
atmosphere Of exceeding quiet. Ap
parently all the bets had been laid,
the thing pretty well talked out
and everyone was content to await
the dfcisios on the ball field.
But there WAS another reason fol
this quictudc The read dyed inthe
wool ball fan is not the man who

the final games of the regular sea-

two games hinges the result of the

that has been unbrokcn for nearly
a week. Yesterday san francisco
won again from the Angeles a
club they have only lost three games

took another from the dcmoralized
Seattle Indians.
Today the two teams have won
81 and lost 81 games each, for a
percentage of .622,
If either team loses -oday and
the other wins, the second half race
will be over, Should they both win,
the race will end in dead heat
and special three game series will
be necessary to decide the winner.

NEW YORK, Oct. s. The ST.
Louis Cardinals have a great ball

There is no use in belittling the

EXPERTS PICK
CARDS TO WIN
IN SIX GAMES,
All Evidence in Favor
Of National Leaguers
Winning Series.
Bv FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Sports Editor)


NEW YORK Oct. 1.-The flick
of white bah across the diamond.
The world series is on.
Wait Hoyt, premier right hand
pitcher for the New York Yankees,
has delivered his initial effort.
Seventy five thousand fans to-
day were ready TO welcome the open
ing pitch of the 1928 world series
with the familiar throaty yell which
always distinguishes the post-scason
battle for the championship of the
world.
For the first time in six years,
the New York Yankees were not
favorites to win.
Every logical evidence favored
the National League champions as
they line up for the world series.
Next to the nervousness displayed
| by Bill McKcchnie, manager of the
st. Louis Cardinals, the most extra
ordinary phase of the conflict was
occasioncd by Miller Huggins
worry over his substitutes.
The American League champions
were faced with the possibility of
having to enter the series with three
or four utility players. Consequently,
the odds on the st. Louis Cardinals
| were no less than two to one.
Yanks Dangerous
Even with the odds two to ono
against them, the Yankees were
dangerous. Any club which include;
in it's roster Babe Ruth and Lot
Gchtig is destined to make trouble
The town was full Of experts
and all the experts said the st
Louis Cardinals should win in five
1r six games.
Not within tho past II years ha'
Ia National League pcnnant winne
been such an outstanding fayorite
Not within n SIMILAR number o.
years has it been as difficult t
obtain world series ticket, indi
eating that interest in the Nationa
pastime is far from dying out.
! Grover Cleveland Alexander, on
of the outstanding figures of a
time as far as the national pastim
is concerned, coughcd, shifted III
cud, and entered protest las
night. He heard the Yankees though
he would be easy.
"Pctr, as they call him in 81
Louis, intends to beat the Yankee
IN each of his starts. If any pitchc
is capable of doing 50, it is AlcA
andcr.
Bill McKcchnie plans to star
Alexander twice. This is SCUM
baseball strategy, but hardly nece'
sary TO beat the Yankees.
With Earl Combs and Herb Per
mock out, the American Leagu
champions have scarcely anythln
to Justify a cheer.

will follow the doings with almost
as much eagerncss and enthusiasm
as if they themselves were there.
For this is the first day Of the

and for office boys with sickiy
