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.
