w ho had m ade such satisfactory endeavor to have their
q u arte rs present a good appearance, w ere not behind
in show ing a w ell-kept building. W ith th e beds sp o t
lessly w hite, w ithout a rum ple, and every boy sta n d
in g at a tten tio n , w ith their room s generally clean and
neat, proved th a t our boys do not lack interest or
ab ility. M rs. Loos, m atron of M itchell H all, M rs.
D oherty of Brew er H all, and Miss Scholder of the
Sm all Boys’ B uilding, are the g u id in g hands. N e x t
Sunday th e g irls ’ q u arters will be inspected. S unday

T h e resu lt of the football gam e last S atu rd ay be
tw een C hem aw a and Pacific U n iv ersity , at F orest
G rove, show ed a score of 6 to 0 in favor of the U n i
versity , th e only score being m ade in the first q u a rte r
by a long forw ard pass. T h is was th e only gain
m ade of any len g th by Pacific d u rin g the gam e and
was made from a quick sh ift form ation w hich baffled
our boys the first tim e it was used. T h e sam e
form ation was tried several o th er tim es b u t resulted
in a loss each tim e.
T h e In d ian boys had th e ball in Pacific’s te rrito ry
d u rin g nearly all th e gam e and several tim es a to u c h
dow n seemed sure, b u t did not resu lt ow ing to a
fum ble, or a man slip p in g dow n in th e m ud, as the
gam e was played on a very m uddy field in a stiff rain.
T h ere were no p articu lar stars in th e Indian team ,
bu t the team as a w hole was in every play.
T h ere w as a very noticeable change for the better
on th e p art of th e team as a w hole over th a t of the
previous gam e. C hem aw a gained about four tim es
as m uch ground as Pacific and excelled in p u n tin g
and re tu rn e d p u n ts. A lto g eth er o u r team showed re
m arkable im provem ent and if it co n tin u es to im prove
th e season will end w ith no fu rth e r defeats.

G eneral inspection of the boys’ q u a rte rs on Sunday
m o rn in g last by the S u p erin ten d e n t, D isciplinarian,
and com pany officers, show ed m uch care and th o ro u g h
ness on the p art of th e boys. T h e halls and room s in
M itchell H all were alm ost in an im m aculate c o n d itio n .
W ith the exception of a few m inor item s th ere v.ere
no criticism s; to th e co n trary , th e re was room for
m uch com m endation. It w ould be difficult to select
from the m any room s the one best kep t.
Brewer H all w ith its 175 boys is a difficult building
to m ain tain , but in passing th ro u g h the many well-
k ep t room s w ith each boy sta n d in g by his bed, spick
and span in his uniform , and ap p aren tly an x io u s that
n o th in g be found am iss, was a pleasing sig h t.
T h e n , too, the 85 boys in the Small Boys’ B udding,
R etha C arson, in the In term ed iate Sew ing D ep art
m en t, has been m aking house dresses and is doing e x
ceptionally well. A grafina F ra tis is d oing good w ork
on hospital aprons.
John M urray, Blake C uthbert, P erry W hipple, Ly-
co ndra Squartzoff, A lbert H ays, Joseph G ale and
G abriel A nderson are tak in g a great in terest in e n
g in eerin g and Mr. Blessing speaks highly of th eir
w ork in th a t departm ent.
It would be hard to find nicer kept room s th an those
of H enry C am pbell, L aw rence F razier, E dw ard Gil-
beau, A ndrew W h ite, G abriel A nderson and Blake
C u th b ert. All the room s in M itchell H all are well
kept, but these boys deserve special m ention.
Peter D ick, Alex Beyer, vocational carpenters;
Kelley Shaw , Lester M ack, Percy M inesinger, L aw
rence T aylor, pre-vocational, are those of th e c a rp e n
ter detail who are w orking on S u p erin ten d en t H a ll’s
garage. T h e sashes are being m ade in the carp en ter
shop.
It was especially pleasing to w itness a dozen or so
girls in th e school kitchen last F riday gathered around
a table, each w ith a note book m aking m em oranda of
an in te re stin g lecture being given by M rs. Brew er on
a hom e-m ade fireless cooker, a sam ple of w hich was
in evidence. Rarely has the A m erican rep o rter w it
nessed a class show ing m ore interest or a m ore p ra c ti
cal lesson given.
T he first, second and th ird year vocational dom estic
science girls have had very in terestin g in stru ctio n s
for the past week under Miss T aylor. T h e th ird
year girls have continued th e ir studv of food, use of
su g ar and testin g for pectin. T he second year girls
have been having lectures on gelatines and th e first
year girls on ices, ice su b stitu tes and beverages.
E ach class has prepared and served a three-course
luncheon.
