CHEMAWA VS. O. A. C. PRESHMEN East Saturday our baseball team went to Corvallis in autos, and were defeated for the second time this séason by the O. A . C. Freshmen,. 7 to 6. It was a nip-and-tuck game from start to finish, one side lead ing and then the other. .. “ Joe” was going fine in the first game with the the “ Frosh” and sent 18 of them back to the bench, but was á little off color Saturday and they found him for 7 clean hits*, while Scott and Ellis for G . Á . C. were hit safely.6 times. In the second inning Downie slammed a lpng fly over the left fielder’s head, with Bettles on base, for a home-run, making the score 6 to 4 in our favor. The large crowd of college students and other spec tators were kept on their toes throughout the game by the good catches and long hits made by .either team. In the eighth inning Hauser robbed the Freshmen of three runs when he speared what looked like a safe liner made by Tasto and retired the side. Score by inn ings. - , .....

W e seniors say it does! “ It is not the amount of money you are able to earn which marks your value as a man, but the honesty of purpose with which you do your task.” From Mr. Devol’s address. On Tuesday afternoon the seniors motored (by truck) to Salem and had their pictures taken. It was a glorious afternoon and all enjoyed the excursion. C o rrectio n — Through the reporter’s mistake the name of Charles Williams was left off the list of high- standing seniors last week. Charles has a total aver age, including outside activities, of 92 1-2. Practise on the class play is going forward, but we have sadly missed Marina Nelson for a few days, as she has been confined to the hospital with ear trouble. However, we bear she will soon be with us again. Principal Devol was the feature of the Friday class period. The program committee had engaged him to make an address to the class and after a few songs by the members be gave a most interesting talk. His subject was, “ W hat makes the real man?’ ’ v Mr. Devol] said in his Friday talk that if each senior felt that he could take an assigned lessoh and sit down and make himself get that lesson, he had accomplish ed a real task; if he could not do this, he had failed. H e also said that, in h is opinion, the studying habit here at Chemawa is three hundred per cent better this year than it was last year;_pupjl.s are studying Independently and with a personal recognition of a purpose.
