Whipping posts and stocks were ia
millar Instruments of punishments

whole repulsive practice was wiped
out by repeating all laws requiring
whipping posts.

There is nothing like sports to pro-
mote good craftsmanship, good fell
lowship and fair play. The players
learn it. The spectators can acquire
it by watching the games.
Last Friday night we played one Of
our most important games of the
season and our first at home. A large
crowd attended. During the game
some of the students showed their
lack of craftsmanship and fellowship
by booing Pasco with whom we were
playing. Sincerely root for your own
team, and if you are really sticking
up for it you won't have time to wor-
~ about what the other side is do
ing. Don't boo against the other side
when they are giving their yells and
while they are shooting their fouls.
That isn't fair play or good sports
manship. 1t only leaves our visitors
under the impression that We are not
good sports and that we are not taxi
ing the game in the right spirit.
We are going to have some more
games, so let's try and redeem our
serves before the season ends. Well,
Wen be seeing you at the Prosser
game here Friday night.

SPORTS
Walter Me- amish

Pasco and Kennewick decided their
double-header game $3.50 last Fri
day night. The Phantom boys lost
1928 and the Kennewick girls won
17-12.
The local quintet took an easy
lead the first quarter, the score being
80 at the end of that period.
In the second period Kennewick
took in oily points while the Bull
dogs rung in 13.
In the last half the Phantoms never
headed the score board. Lock, Pasco
guard, went out on personals in the
fourth quarter, but not until he had
won scoring honors with IA points.
The lineup was:
Kennewick Position Pasco
Oliver forward Wager
Brown forward Taber
Crockett center Swanson
Hembree guard Lock
Shanafelt guard Ellis
Substitutions -Pasco: Hash. Ken
newick: Johnson, Harrington, Kram-
er, Shields.
The girls game was fast one
from the first whistle to the last.
Pasco held the lead until the last
quarter.
The local girls were the first to
score. They had lead of 40 until
Pasco decided to get busy and the
quarter ended in Pasco's favor, 6-5.
At the end of the half they still had
the lead with a score of Til. The
third quarter ended 1912 showing
that Kennewick was making a slow
gain on the rival team.
The last quarter was the most
thrilling part of the whole evening.
AS the Pasco girls haven't won on
the local floor for about five years
the Kennewick team decided to keep
up the tradition. They caught up
with the Pasco score and passed it so
swiftly that the crowd could hardly
keep up with them. The final score
was 1913 in our favor.
Martha Shepard, guard for the lo-
cal girls, did exceptionally well thru
out the whole game.
Both the boys and the girls will
play at Two Rivers Tuesday, Janu-
cry %. Friday night will see another
game, the Prosser boys coming here
to play the Phantoms.

The Civil Works Administration program was discontinued yester- day throughout the Territory in &C., cord with the instructions of Administrator Hopkins and as scheduled by him. Approximately 450 men employed on the several projects all over Alaska are auto matically put on the unemployed list.
 Virtually all projects were com pleted, it was announced by Ike P. Taylor, Deputy Territorial Ad- ministrator under Gov. John w. Troy, who was at the head of the program in the Territory. A report of the work done, the relief furn- ished and money expended is to be made available as soon as final reports are compiled.
 Opening of the seasonal work in the fisheries and mining indus tries, already under way, and the launching of regular road con- struction and public works pro- grams will absorb all idle labor in d short time, it is believed.
