A DIFFERENCE IN BOYS Composition There are several kinds of boys in this school. I know a boy who has an ambition in life, but all he does all day long is to dream about it. He is always trading different articles for books to read. He reads good books, but he never puts what he knows to practical use. He likes to attract attention to himself, but when attention is paid him, he acts confused. I know another boy who attends strictly to his own business. If he has an ambition, he keeps it to himself until he thinks he can realize it. He is willing to help in a quiet, modest way when help is needed, and he always does the best he can. MT. ANGLE COLLEGE—CHEMAWA GAME Saturday morning the team left Corvallis to play at Mt. Angel against the college team of that place. At the end of the second period the score was announced a tie. The score stood, after the five minutes of olay, 27 to 24 in favor of Mt. Angel. Poor basket shooting, and team work quite as bad, was displayed by our boys in this game. Instead of working the ball under the basket, many throws were attempted from the middle of the floor. The guards played much better ball in this game and very few of the collegians’ points were gained near the basket, but they were very successful with their long shots. Tonight our team plays Mt. Angel here. A number of new men have been working out of late and are showing up well. As yet it is not known who will start the game for Chemawa.
