ATHLETIC NOTES
Inclement weather has deprived us of several base
ball games this spring; two were called off on account
of rain. Salem high arrived here last Wednesday to
play that long postponed game just in time to see our
field flooded when the rain poured down seemingly in
bucketfuls. The second game was called off early
Saturday morning when a long distance message was
received from Columbia University in Portland telling
us not to come, as their field was under water. If the
weather permits the Salem high game will be played
today at 3:30.
Sunday the sophomores and freshmen will play the
second of the class games; their game was postponed
last week cn account of rain. The class spirit so
much in evidence during the football and basketball
contests dining the winter months is by no means
missing at the baseball games, which was proven at
the senior-junior game last week. The juniors won
the game, but it must be admitted that when it comes
to yells and songs they have to hand it to the sen
iors.
Friday afternoon Columbia University will play
here. It will be remembered by those who witnessed
the Columbia game last year that it was a “hummer.”
The final score was 1 to 0 in our favor.
With our schedule half over and only two games
played the 1925 season will go down on record as
about the poorest season in the history of the school,
unless Manager Bent is able to scare up a few more
games. He had about a dozen games arranged, but
the weather man cheated us out of something like half
of them.
What all our athletes are looking for is the arrange
ment of a baseball game with one of the nearby col
leges on their May Day program. On this day, as
has been the custom, every letterman and many who
were not fortunate enough to earn their letter but had
grit to stick it out to the bitter end, travels with the
team. It has always been a very happy, picnic affair;
with the Superintendent’s hearty permission all hands
load on the truck bright and early with plenty of “hot
dogs” and everything that goes with them and light
out for the best picnic of the season. This is about
the only time our “color bearers” ever get together
