HOTSHOTS VICTORIOUS
Once more our Hotshots are victorious. This time
they paraded up and down the field, through the line
and around the ends to the tune of 32 to 0 against the
Corvallis high school seconds. Howard Churchill and
John Trottier, both speedy little halfbacks, thrilled the
crowd with their quick dashes through the line and
their many end runs. Alex Gouley and Claude Parazoo
alternated at fullback and both plowed and plunged
through the Corvallis line for consistent yardage. The
line functioned equally as well on defense and offense.
So far this season the Hotshots have not permitted their
opponents to make anything like consistent yardage
through their line and the Armistice Day game was no
exception. Corvallis did not make more than three
first downs from scrimmage at most.
On the very first play Trottier shot through the line
and out into the open before the defensive team real
ized what it was all about but John is not what is called
a broken field runner and was finally brought to earth
by the safety. Three times he did the same little stunt
and three times the safety made the tackle. But on the
fourth attempt John eluded him so nicely that Red
Grange could net have done better. Howard Church
ill raced across the goal line twice. Each time on a
wide sweeping end run which is sweet meat for this
speedster. Howard does a pretty good job of cutting
in for a youngster.
Those who participated in the game are as follows:
Andrew Whiterock, Ben Bear, George McGriff, Ferd
inand Thomas, ends; George Thompson, Harry Ar-
chambeau, tackles; Frank Dumont, Joe Ball, guards;
Robert Perkins, center; Hans Jack, Clarence Weaver,
quarterbacks; John Trottier, Howard Churchill, half
backs; Alex Gouley, Claude Parazoo, fullbacks.
After a few days’ rest our first team is back into
their togs again and are leaving nothing undone that
will put them in the best of shape for their game
Saturday with Albany high school which will mark
our first Home-Coming game. Many of the nearby
ex-students and graduates are planning on being pi es
ent to see the final tussle of the season to be played
on the home ground.
For the first time this season our student body had
a chance to show what it could do in the way of
organized cheering and under the leadership of Louis
Orr and Melba Arnoux did a great big brown job of it.
Beginning Monday class basketball will be started for
both the boys and girls.
Last week the juniors trampled over the sophomores
19 to 0. This week the seniors will play the fresh
men.
Friday the Hotshots will play Lebanon high school
at Lebanon.
LOCAL
On Monday morning at 10 o’clock our student body
and many of the faculty met in the auditorium to ob
serve Armistice Day. Principal S. R. Mote was in
charge, and he gave a very fine talk, appropriate in
every way to the occasion. In addition to the talk of
Mr. Mote there was the singing of war songs (peace
songs, too) by the student body, Miss Judd sang a
special number and did it most artistically, and there
was the oath of allegiance repeated by all, salute to
colors, taps, etc. Really, there was an impressive
lesson given all.
A few days ago Mr. Ratzburg, our gardener, ex
hibited a monstrous head of cabbage that weighted 23
pounds. The cabbage was of the variety known as
the Danish Baldhead and it is of excellent quality.
Mr. Ratzburg stated that this particular head was not
especially selected for its size as there are many other
heads out in the patch that are fully as large or larger.
There is a very large crop of cabbage this year and if
more than can be used during its season the overplus
will be made into saur kraut and in this way it can be
kept indefinitely. With the exception of potatoes we
have an abundant crop of all kinds of vegetables.
Principal Mote has placed the literary societies of
the school on a basis which bids fair to be productive
of good results. For instance, each society will have
a program committee of three members, and the mem
bership is divided into eight groups, each group to
put on one program in font months. There are four
of the teachers appointed to visit and report on the
work of the societies during each meeting—the find
ings are all to be estimated on a percentage basis and
reported to Mr. Mote. After four meetings of the
societies the average rating of each society will be as
certained and a prize will be awarded the society scor
ing the highest. This seems to us to be a splendid
plan.
