by Mr. Loos and supported by the orchestra, the choir
sang “ Star of Hope” by Gabriel. Supt. Hall called

tain phases of life in that far-off country. The Superin
tendent also called upon Rev. W. A. Petzoldt for a
short talk and the gentleman responded in a vein both
humorous and serious. The evening was one of enter

VICTORY
Our baseball team continued its winning streak
last Saturday when it defeated the North Pacific Den
tal College at Portland 6 to 2.
A large crowd of Portlanders and college students
attended the game. Our boys played well up to form
and made a splendid showing on the field and at
swinging the willow. ” Hines has been hitting the
ball exceptionally well this season and he kept up his
slugging fest in this game. In the second inning he
connected squarely with one of Merriell’s speeders for
three bases, driving in two men, and a double in the
ninth inning, scoring the final run of the game.
Joe pitched his usual fine game, striking out four
teen men and allowing but three hits, while the den
tists’ pitcher struck out five men and was found for
seven hard hits.
This afternoon we will play the Willamette Univer
sity team on the home diamond. Needless to say that
all of the faculty and the entire student body will be
in attendance, but we w*ant the veil leaders to get on
the job and would like to have the band strike up a
tune. Score by innings:
Chemawa—0 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 1
N.P.D.C.—0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0
RELIANCE JOLLY-UP
An afternoon earlier in the week, the boys travelled
in force to the woods near the Pacific Highway and
spent the afternoon playing games of all sorts. The
society was divided into two sections, each section re
presenting one of the two colors of the society. Each
time an event was staged, each section sent in its best
men to win that event. In this manner the afternoon
was full of excitement. At the end of the afternoon
the Golds,” with Nuckolls as leader, were ahead of
the “ Greens” under Nix 83 to 72. The following
are the events which took place: Fifty-yard dash,
uphill, slow race, caterpillar race, potatoe race, javelin
throw, baseball throwing contest, shot put, standing
broad jump, and relay. After a feast on “ hot dog”
sandwiches and “ java” the society was called to order
by the president and a short business meetiug followed.
A few of the older boys gave some very good advice
along the line of society work. The society then ad
journed and started homeward, everybody happy.
