ATHLETIC NOTES
Our baseball team defeated the Willamette Univer
sity freshmen at Salem last Friday afternoon 14 to 2.
Charles George and Leander Wilson did the twirling
for our team, each allowing but one hit. They were
timely hits, however, and counted for as many runs.
Our batsmen hit the frosh pitcher almost at will and had
but little difficulty in running up the score. The game
was started late on account of the May Day festivities,
so for that reason only five innings were played.
On Saturday our entire athletic squad, including
members of football, basketball and track teams, ac
companied our baseball boys to Monmouth to see the
game against the Normal School. An excellent pic
nic lunch especially prepared for the occasion by our
Kitchen and bakery forces was taken along and at the
proper time was served with hot coffee under the firs.
Stories and the telling of incidents in previous games,
along with the music furnished by the athletic brass
quartet, served to make this affair a memorable one.
To top off the lunch and round out a “perfect day” our
team up and w’altzed away with the game 14 to 0.
The boys played almost errorless ball and batted to
perfection. The large crowd that had assembled to
see the game was readily won over by the splendid
performances of our ball-tossers and repeatedly ap
plauded them for excellent plays. Our infield has
completed several double plays already this season and
in this game added three more to the list. Starting
with either Reginald DePoe or Valin Davis the ball
travels to Charles DePoe and to Dewey Matt with
lightening-like speed, yet these fellows seem to get
faster with each game.
Charles George pitched a fine game and kept the
teachers’ five hits so well scattered that only once did
they get as near home as third base, while his team
mates collected 14 solid swats and made each one
count for a run.
If everything turns out just right, Columbia Uni
versity will be here tomorrow afternoon to play a re
turn game; on Friday the team will travel to Port
land to tangle with the North Pacific Dental College
team as the closing feature of their May Day festiv
ities.
Two more class games and the schedule will be com
pleted. Last week the seventh graders led the highly
touted 8th graders to the tall timber by a 12 to 2 score.
The eighth graders expected an easy victory, but
were unable to check the scoring of the seventh.

BOY SCOUT NOTES
James Anderson has been appointed Assistant Scout Master
of the troop in the Small Boys’ Quarters. They are rearin’ to
go—knot tying is the go.
Scouts Frank Baga, Kolbein Lande, Julian Smith, Fred
Motchman, Myron Anderson and Charles Morgan are work
ing to carry away the pennant in Semaphore this year at the
Albany Scout Rally.
Scout Baga was given second honors in fire by friction last
year, but he says “Second to none’’ this year.
Scouts Robert Hall and Hans Jack recently took their 7-mile
hike as required in the second class test.
The Scouts were to give a few hints on First Aid at the
health program last week, but we did not. Remember our
motto, “Be Prepared.’’ We were ready.
Do a good turn daily is our motto. If you want anything
done just call on us.
We are looking for a Scout Master, one who is interested in
boys. One who is interested in seeing these young lads grow
into good men. These lads will some day have charge of
their tribal affairs, or be leaders in their communities. It’s a
great movement. Records show that 62 percent of the young
men at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis were
Scouts at one time.
DOMESTIC ART NOTES
Top o’ the morning, folks! We are going to start
practicing this week for the fashion show that is to be
given in the auditorium at the end of the year.
We have completed a number of white dresses for
the Sigma party, and now that it is over we are as
busy as bees making new gingham uniforms.
Emma Sexton’s practice class have completed book
lets for the fair and are now working on samples of
fancy stitching.
