ATHLETIC NOTES
One more game, and that against West Eynn on
Friday, and the curtain will be drawn, closing ohr
1928 football season. We have played seven games,
lost five, won one and tied one. A popr showing so
far as games won and lost are concerned, yet not so
bad when the experience of the team is considered.
We lost to Washington, a contender for the inter
scholastic championship of Portland 19 to (E Med
ford defeated us 37 to 6. Incidentally Medford has
won the state championship for the past three years.
Benson was our only yictim, whom we scalpedl2 to 6.
Benson now leads the Portland inter-scholastic league.
Albany tied us 6 to 6. Willamette’s Super-Varsity
defeated us 20 to 6. Columbia U. high smacked us
13 to 6, and the Oregon Normals trimmed us(25 to 0.
The outcome of the West Eynn game remains to be
seen. But you can bet your bottom dollar we will be
represented by eleven boys who will be giving every
bit they have every minute of the game.
Continued defeat wrecks the morale of the ordinary
team and as a rule they give up in despair, but Saturday
after Saturday our boys have stood by their guns and
stared defeat straight in the face and never can it We
said they ever “ gave Up the ship.” That is the spirit
that has kept them from being swamped or badly beat
en. Some of our scores may look a little one-sided,
but all of our games were really close and hard fought.
In any event the boys have learned to hang on and
fight to the end, and some day they will reap the bene
fit of this seemingly disastrous season. They will
win simply because they have learned well the lesson
never to give up.
•
The one big event remaining on our football pro
gram for the home folk is-the clash between our “ Hot
shots” and the inter-class All-Stars. This game has
become an annual affair and really plays an important?
part in our Thanksgiving festivities. This year the
game looms bigger than ever. 1 Mainly because the
class games have developed some likely boys, real ball
carriers and linemen, in fact some real “ Horsemen.”
It is expected that the All-stars will'take the “ Shots”
bug hunting, but the “ Shots’ ’ are sure to have some
thing to say about that. Anyhow, it is certain to be
an interesting afternoon. Just before tlje gapie gets
underway the starter’s pistol will set some forty or fif
ty cross-country runners on their way over a three
mile course. This is another inter-class affair and it
should draw a “ full house.”
INFLUENZA
Report has it that influenza is again making its ap
pearance in the Southern and eastern part of this
country and is spreading in this direction. While
common colds Undoubtedly ; are due to germs, never
theless, influenza as an epidemic disease must be
considered as a separate infection. It is, a more serious
illness tlian the common cold. ',
Influenza.is an acute infectious disease accompanied
by more or less fever. It spreads with extraordinary
rapidity from town to town and usually attacks a
larger part of the population.
.
It is not-apparent at this time that Oregon will suf
fer with a very extensive epidemic. The public should,
however, take care of themselves on the first appear
ance of a cold. Go to bed until yoU are cured. The
greatest danger is the liability of contracting pneu
monia following an attack pf influenza or a bad cold.
It is a good rule to conserve your energy. You are
using more energy now than you do in warm weather.
The increased heat production demands more work of
the kidneys, heart and lungs. This is why you tire
more easily at this season of the year.
„Protect yourself against influenza, and ppguippnja-
by taking the following precautions:
Take plenty of rest and increase the hours of sleep.
Regulate your diet; eat more vegetables, salads,
whole wheat bread; drink more milk and water; eat
less meat.
Keep feet dry and wear warm clothes.
Keep fingers out of mouth and wash hands before
eating.
Avoid getting chilled.
During an epidemic every one should avoid crowd
ed illventilated places.
