ATHLETIC NOTES
East Tuesday evening the Salem Ducks defeated
our basketball team 27 to 10. On the following even
ing the boys played a little better and the Willamette
University freshmen beat them 26 to 15. On Friday
seven players and the coach left on a trip up the
Columbia fiver, where they played two games. Hood
River defeated us in a real snappy game 27 to 21, and
The Dalles swamped us 30 to 18. Eldred George and
Roy Peratrovich’ were the only veterans on the trip
and they certainly extended themselves in an effort to
retain some of the basketball prestige they helped to
establish in that country two years agb when they
went there with one of the fastest teams this school
has ever produced and won by overwhelming seores.
They met us with open arms and their posters heralded
us as the original ‘^streaks of lightning,” because of
what they saw a couple of years ago, of course, but
we could present to them no such team this year.
The only thing our five could do was to play with
dogged determination and hung on. until the end, and
they did, but the snappy and elever teams that we
met at both places were too much for our boys, and
they won handily^ However, both games were full
Of action and the big enthusiastic crowds that filled
the gyms cheered the players of both teams and they
never failed to applaud a good play. Their sports
manship and friendliness was Striking. Dots and lots
of folks can be good sports and friendly when they
win, but we recall that they were just as big in every
way two yqars ago when wo defeated them by over
whelming scores-
About the 20th of this month the second semester
of our school year begins and several boys will be add
ed to our basketball liner-up t.ha.t should make a change
in the picture. Rut too much cannot be expected, for
they will have been out half of the season and the bene
fits of the early season games are lost to them. In a
way it will be much like starting over. But it will be
au opportunity to win back some lost laurels.
For fear that some of our readers have gained the
wrong impression concerning our ineligible players it
may be well, to state the truth of the matter. While

we do have several boys who are ineligible, only one
of that number is ineligible because of his own neglect
to keep up in his school work. Others are affected
by the entrance ruling, and still others beeause of the
lack of the necessary subjects, which is no fault of
their own. However, this will all be ironed out at
the start of the second semester and all will begin
with a clean sheet. We are fortunate that all of these
conditions have arisen during our first few months as
members. We have felt keenly the loss of able players
and know fust what it means to have players declared
ineligible. It brought home to the players, like
nothing else could, the importance of standing high
in academic work. It can be done arid it must be done
by all who wish to participate athletically .
After quite some time, Mrs. Downie, the girls’
basketball coach, has started practice. The girls have
not been out since the ‘ ‘flu’ ’ hit us. But they resumed
practice last Friday and are preparing for their first
game which will be played against West Lynn on the
15th. With scarcely a week to prepare the girls will
have to work fast if they are to take West Lynn by
the forelock.
SENIOR WATCH PARTY
“ The Seniof Girls never enjoyed themselves before
in such a quiet, and peaceable, manner as when they
gathered that evening waiting happily for the New
Year moment to draw near. Jokes, ghost stories, and
other interesting items were told by several of thegirls.
In silence each thought seriously over what their in->
tentions, plans, and aims would be for the new year-,
arid especially of the touching, departing time of leav
ing all their friends and ..their dear Alma Mater.
Finally a delicious midnight lunch was served. Again
the old year rolled by and the New Year rolled in
‘with many resolutions.’ ** So reports one of the
girls.
