COACH JOHANNES SAYS

tT am rather optimistic over the pros
poets of retaining our league leadership"
said Coach Johannes in an interview. Il
am not taking the fact that Prosser defeat
ed Pasco too seriously" he stated, because
the comparative scores don't mean so much
as to the strength of the two squads" He
said that he bases his optimistic viewpoint
on the fact that his team is in fine physical
condition and free from any scholastic diff
ficulties.
"The boys have the right attitude and
if they play as they are capable of playing
they should emerge victorious And if we
lose," he declared, "well lose to better ball
club"

DEFEAT
HANFORD 1926

The Kennewick Lions defeated
Hanford for the second time this
season in another game that proved
to be a pretty dull affair. The
Lions won 43 to 25. In the first
quarter Kennewick couldn't hit
their stride and were behind 8 to
9 at the start of the second period.
They go better in the second quar-
ter and it ended 81 to 16 in the ia
vor of the Lions. The boys rallied
after the half and started going,
aided by the visiting center's toss
into the wrong hoop and Oliver pot
ting cripples frequently. Talbot
played a good game at forward al
so. The final score was 43 to Is
with Griner high man for Hanford
and Oliver for Kennewick.
Barbee officiated.

CONNELL FRI.

The Lions humbled Connell Fri
day night 81 to 10. Connell scored
four points in a big hurry before
Kennewick ever registered. But the
Lions soon evened the score and
went on to take an easy victory.
Oliver, as usual, amassed a big
share of the scores. > --. 49,
Probably the biggest game of the
season will be played in the Kenne-
wick gym Friday, January IL. The
Pasco Bulldogs will venture across
the Columbia to renew the rivalry
that was interrupted during the
last football season. The game is
sure to be well played and the out
come should have a strong bearing
on the district leadership.

on operetta tryouts. One Jump land

whom should she meet there but
Miss Michaelsen in person. On be-
ing questioned as to the reason for
leaving the study halls in such un-
seemingly haste, she became red

she had some work to do for Miss
Hopkins. After she entered room

ings and snatches of scale delight
ed her ears, until the dreamy spell
cast on the reported by the music
was broken by the question, Sand

Horrors! What should she sayI At
last she recovered her wits suffic-
iently to explain that she loved mu-
sic and so had taken this opportun-
ity to listen to it. Saved againI You
may wonder but reporters actually

COACH THOMAS SAYS

81 don't feel at all easy about the Ken
newick-Pasco game" said Coach Thomas,
when asked by squad of Broadcaster re-
porters. 81 don't believe the comparative
score with Prosser means thing. We were
terribly handicapped by Tabor breaking his
leg in the first quarter. 1t lowered the teams
fight. However, we are fine otherwise and
even though We play with new man, we
have fair chance of beating Kennewick."
NOTE Kennewick should remember
both coaches do not necessarily reflect the
outcome of the game. Many observers of
the playing of both teams say they have
never seen two teams so evenly matched.

the lockers is not satisfactory to many of the
girls. It would be much better and more
pleasant to eat lunch in the gym balcony.
Perhaps if no more scraps are thrown around
in the locker room the mice will depart and
leave the girls in peace. --
It also seems that there has been quite
a little trouble with people taking things
which are not their own. The locker room is
small and crowded and all the girls should
be careful to use only their own things. If
you happen to get another girls property by
mistake be careful to return it as promptly
as possible. With the limited space we have
everyone should cooperate in keeping things
where things belong.

HEART PROB.
.>.. LENS OF MAN

To really understand the powers
and uses of Leap Year we must first
know the origin of it's name. Leap
is taken from the Latin word leap
and means "leap." "Year" means
practically the same except for the
difference in meaning. ~.
In other Leap Years minimum
of catches were made because OF
the appalling ignorance of system
attic Leap Year technic, and we girls
should have more pridesin the ma
tional customs than to let such OPP
portunities to learn pass us by. Now
I would suggest that the girls of <.
H. S. definitely organize and because
of the lack of boys, arrange to have
two girls to each boy. Not only
would this eliminate all the trouble
that besets the lone girl who goes
for her man, but would guarantee
that the boy could not in any cir
cumstances get away from the fact
that sooner or later he will have
to choose, thus making one goal
for the girls who win. The final test
of the girl will be .'Can she hold
her MANI" which subject will be dis
cussed in a later lesson in Heart
Problems of the Modern Maid"
But now to get down to a definite
system. There are certain rules
which will work in nearly every
case. These rules you may readily
trust, as they have been proved by
experience land plenty of it:)
l. Be ready to pay cash down de-
post on any male of your choice
a SC Cocoa Cola is the cheapest
known. ~
2. Be on the trail of the man con-
stantly or your rival will get ahead
of you. Such a project will take
your constant time and energy (al-
though he will not be worth it.
8. Make sure that he will wear
well. Many a girl has discovered
too late, of what cheap material he
is made.
4. Keep within your price range.
If you're used to paying &c for
shows with q 15c sundae afterwards
you will not feel like paying $500
for opera seats and $500 for light
lunch in an expensive restaurant.
S. Do not betray your maidenly
emotions toward the male in ques-
ton. Such procedure would
leave you vulnerable to an attack
by your rival.
6. Keep on the good side of your
parents. You may want to use the
car sometime.
z. Keep on the good side of his
parents. What if you can't get your
car :?
OF course, dear readers, under
stand that a diplomatic poaching
of preserves is permissible. If you
have made one goal already, extra
rating will be given for second
goal. Ten points will be given for
cutting your rivals date with the
boy in question: here is an oppor-
tunity for you girls who are behind
in your work. In each situation
which may arise, use a delicate
touch of emotions you would use
a spice in cake: true artistry in
male chasing" can be attained with
much practice and as you practice,

, might have been seen people with
their hooks catching wood, and even
on the city side, from the lower
| bridge on Rock Greek to the mouth
Of the Tiber. and from that to about
where Carusi's saloon now stands, the
citizens had collected for the same
purpose. The most of the wood, how
ever, lodged on the south side of the
creek.
"A number Of the citizens went to
Seventh street bridge to catch wood.
My brothers-Daniel, Jacob, Matthew
and myself, had small boat, scow-
fashioned, fastened to a tree between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets. With
this we padded across the creek and
joined others who were catching drift
wood. We had the advantage of
them, as we could 60 into the middle
of the creek and there select some
of the best wood and bring it to
shore. We then cut it up ready to
cart away, which required two or
three days.
1--WE then crossed the Tiber with
our cart, at the little old bridge at
Seventh street, and went down to
where the wood lay, for the purpose
of carting it away; but just as we
were about putting on the first load
We heard it thunder in Q northeast

It seems that before the Chesa-
peake Canal was in existence, or even
thought of, the Potomac River above
Georgetown was navigated by a sort
of land boat, called gondola, which
the river men had borrowed from
some Italian boatmen These boats,
according to the statement handed
down. were employed in bringing
down the Potomac River to George
town from Cumberland, Md, for the
local market, flour, corn and other
products, and since the boats could
not be taken upstream against the
current, when their cargoes had been
disposed Of, the gondolas were sold
to ready purchasers, as they were con-
structed Of good timber for building
purposes, and the money thus ac-
quired enabled the boatmen to travel
home by land. These men used to
boast of their expert workmanship
and the skill with which they could
negotiate the falls in their gondolas,
and ability to make the trip down
the river In perfect safety. However,
there still is doubt as to the truth
fulness Of this dangerous method of
travelling over the rapids of Great
Falls.
Much Of the weather information
which has come down to us from the
early days Of Washington is hard to
prove, and yet its accuracy. coming
generally from reliable sources, Is
taken for granted. for it must be
borne in mind that Washington was
never without its scientific men, and
as early as 1917, according to Mr..
Bryan, reports on weather condi-
tons were made by registers of land
offices, supplemented the following
year by reports from medical officers
at Army posts Finally, in 184s,
under the direction of Prof. Joseph
Henry, reports were received at the
Smithsonian from telegraph operators
wherever stationed, and a beginning
was made In having a map showing
current conditions, leading to the
making Of weather forecasts. The
broadening Of the scientific work of
the Government began at an early
day to bring to Washington men
trained in various branches, so that
by 1887 1t was estimated there was
one scientific man to every 500 of
inhabitants"
