the bench much thé same as their teammates. Some
people say that Salem played a poor game, and we are
much inclined to agree with them, for they really
made a popr showing against our varsity.
Tom Claplanhoo, our right fielder who started early
in the season to work as a pitcher but who has played
in. a field position because of his bitting ability, made |
ilie sensational plays of the game when he chased en
tirely out of his territory and robbed Salem of two of
the surest looking hits ever made, saving a run with
the first catch and ending the game with the second.

New lawns are appearing in several places on the
campus.
The masons are preparing for more walks near the
gymnasium.
Spring crops are looking fine, particularly the
grain and early garden. The season so far has been
with the farmers and gardeners and they have ¿taken
prompt advantage of thé rather unusually early season.
Have you noticed our nice-looking dairy herd on
its journey to and from the pasture? Our cows are
like those of a certain advertisment, they are “ con
tented cows.” This is due to good care and gentle
tr£atm£irt./s
New graduation suits for our young men of the
graduating class are under constructing in the ^tailor
ing department. The tailor and the boys of this de
partment are the only ones worried about them. The
rest of us know that they will be the same high class
suits that have been made in this department for years
past.

Athletics are claiming our attention now and many
of our boys are doing well. The writer desires to
commend the students of the several industrial depart
ments for the good showing made in balancing the
work with the play and the cheerful performance of
work before play time comes. This is the spirit of a
successful school. Let us cultivate it more.
Friday afternoon our ball tossers won the most ex
citing and thrilling baseball game seen here in a long
time. Our old rivals from Mt. Angel College jour
neyed over from the school on the hill to get the sur
prise of their lives. Last year they walked away with
the non-conference championship with seemingly per
fect ease, but were shaken off their high horse here
Friday by a 6 to 5 score in our favor.
“ Lefty Joe” was about as stingy as old “ Scrooge”
himself and allowed but six hits and turned 14 sorry
ones back to warm the bench, while Coach Kasberger
used his entire pitching staff in an effort to stop the
onslaught of our hitting machine. Among the three
of them they got six fans while our sluggers' bunched-
14 hits.
Bucher!; started the parade with the first pitched
ball by a single through second, but was tagged out
athom e on George’s bunt. Minthorn followed with
a hit that put Atkins across the plate for the first run.
From the beginning Joe held the Collegians at his: |
mercy and allowed but two runs until the first of the
ninth, when, with the tally 5 to 2 in our favor, Mt.
Angel started a rally that netted them three runs,
tying the score. W ith one out and two men on bases
Claplanhoo made the first sensational catch that saved
a run. The next hitter up met the, onion square on
the seam that drpve it on a line over the pitcher’s
head and past center field. It continued t o . rise and
looked like it would never stop. | We kissed our hopes
good-bye, thinking surely it would be a homer.
But, blessed be “ Old Tom,” going like a streak of
lightning and far out of his territory made the second
grand catch that saved the day.
In the last half of the ninth and the score 5 to 5,
Atkins led off with a clean swat through short and
then stole second, third and home, scoring the winning
run, mid the cheering and yelling of the best pleased
bunch of spectators that ever watched a ball game.
CHEMAWA DEFEATS SALEM HIGH
Last Wednesday afternoon our varsity took the
Salem High “ preppers” to the cleaners in a seven
inning game 12 to 5. Salem was out-hit, out-pitched
and out-played frpm the first ball thrown until the
last. ;
,
In the first inning our hitters clouted Dave Adolph,
Salem twirler, for six hits, five runs, and accumulated
a total of 17 hits in the seven innings.
Five scattered hits was all Phinney would allow and
those so far apart that they counted little toward the
Salem score. Reinhart, Jones and Rex Adolph,
Salem’s hard-hitting three, fanned the air and warmed
Eleanor Hauk and two college friends from the Uni
versity of Oregon were visitors at Chemawa over Satur
day and Sunday. They were here to be présentât
