Phantoms opened the game with
basket in the first half minute
Of play but after that couldn't hold
the lead. At half time the score
stood 1910 in favor of Benton

.ketball, scoring six points while
holding their opponents to nine.
Nearly two full teams of Phan-

AMONG US

Today we have "Among U.s.
Boyd (Buck) Rupp, Kennewicks
one fonr-year football letterman.
Boyd lived the first two years
of his nineteen years in Spokane
but has spent the remainder here.
Delving into the past it is found
that he has been interested in
sports, even in the grades and took
part in them.
During his high school career
Boyd has taken part in football
all four years, in baseball, as q
sophomore and in track as jun
Tor. He also played every position
on the football team but end and
won his letter each of the four
years. In baseball he played right
field and in track he holds the val
ley championship for discus throw,
having pitched it lis feet and 3
inches.
Such an athletic career is one
to be looked ND to by all sport as
pirants. He says that "anyone who
doesn't take part in athletics at
least one year is missing a great
deal in his high school life."
Boyd is following the scientific
course and intends to be lawyer.

SEMESTER EXAMINATIONS
AND MIDNIGHT OIL

Why all the lights burning late
into the night, or perhaps we
should say early hours of the
morning. With a bit of investiga-
tion the reason may be attributed
to a Forthcoming event at Kenne-
wick high.
Semester exams are the big top
ic now for this is the last chance
for students to settle their fate
in regard to the coming spring Sc
mester. Glass periods have been de-
voted to reviews, and a general
overhaul of the work that has beer
covered. To enable the students to
clear up what ever may be in
question.
The exams themselves will take
place the latter part of next week
and with their completion, the
spring semester classes will be
taken up.

Change in Junior English

The Juniors will have a new
course in English next semester.
The Literature and Life Book III,
which they have been studying,
contains the works of authors and

Types of Literature" by Mabel
Irene Rich, will interest the stu
dent more and will help him with
his Senior English next year
(Some of the Seniors who have
seen the new book are trying to
persuade Miss Rushton to let
them as we'll as the Juniors study
IT'D
The new book is divided into two
parts-the study of poetry and
the study of prose. The discussion
under poetry is divided into three
parts, narrative" poetry, lyric
poetry, and dramatic" poetry. Ir
the second part-types of prose
the essay, prose fiction and the or
alton are discussed. With these
new books, are about thirty vol
umes Of reference books which the
students will use extensively.

or, what is even more important, to abandon slam aspirations. Not with absolute certainty, fortunate ly. for the bidding then would de- generate into exact mathematics, and that Is not consummation to be desired. As long as the un- certainties of distribution remain to necessitate a reasonable amount of speculation, we shall continue to bid and miss a certain percen- should be, for otherwise there would be no fascination in slam bidding. In the early stages of contract, slam bidding was a wild exhibition and occupied entirely too much of the spotlight. Players felt that they were not turning in a good evenings work if they failed to indulge in a lot of acro- battles, such as showing aces," showing kings" bidding void suits. and bidding suits previously bid by the adversary. Bidding first round stoppers" it was called. All of which Is fine when it works, but grim tragedy when the fireworks explode.
 A few thoughts on the general subject of slam bidding. and then we will show you the reliable oper- ations of slam bidding through the instrumentality of the official Sys- tenn.
 MAJORITY OF SLAMS MADE
 ARE NOT BIDDABLE
 When an unbid slam Is made,
