A LATER COMMUNICATION A couple of weeks ago we ran a “local” telling of a letter dropped from the air onto our campus by Mr. Lee Eyerly, of aircraft fame. We have just received another most interesting note from Mr. Eyerly and for reasons which are obvious we are pleased to pub lish it, as follows: “Thanks for the copy of The American wherein you acknowledge receipt of our invitation to the sex tet of lady vocalists for an airplane flight. I sincerely hope that not only the young ladies in question will have the opportunity to fly sometime, but that all of you will fly. “I am wondering if the school as a mass would like to visit our airport? We not only fly but we build, rebuild and repair airplanes, and it might be instruc tive to them. I am sure they are all welcome to come at any time.” There now! As quoted above, it is plain that Mr. Eyerly has not only extended a much-appreciated in vitation to our sextet of vocalists to try flying, but in addition has suggested a visit to his airport where much information of value evidently awaits all who will take advantage of his gracious offer. It seems to us that here is a grand chance for Mr. Allen, our shop instructor, to pull off a master stroke by taking some of our shop boys on a tour of inspection that undoubt edly would be of both interest and value to them. We are all grateful to Mr. Eyerly for his kind invita tion and his interest in our school. Our basketball team was given a taste of defeat last Tuesday evening a week when they came home on the short end of 35 to 22 from Monmouth high school. Monmouth broke away to a big lead early in the first quarter and kept a flow of balls passing through the basket almost from the start of the game. Monmouth seemed able to score from almost any distance or angle. After a series of quick, snappy passes their forwards, guards cr center would cut loose with a shot, which our defense apparently figured impossible, but invari ably ended up by piercing the hoop. This lack of quick, aggressive checking coupled with Monmouth’s uncanny ability to make the basket was largely re sponsible for the big score against us. We had a fairly tight five-man defense, but Monmouth shot over it with telling effect. Only in the third quarter did our team put up any thing like an even battle. With the opening of this peri od and the score 22 to 7 against us, our five turned loose a swift and determined attack that closed up the big gap that greatly separated the two scores before Monmouth seemed to wake up to the fact that their big lead was dwindling away. However, they got their long range guns working again to make every thing absolutely safe for Monmouth. Leonard Vivette and Dominic Dog Eagle, forwards; Andrew Hatfield, center; William Jones and Albert Miller guards; showed plenty of possibilities in the third period but for the other three quarters encoun tered any amount of difficulty in handling the ball. Poor passes and fumbles just at the wrong time were painfully numerous. Because of these errors they lost themselves several seemingly certain points. After a week on the mat Coach Sanders took his wrestlers to Oregon City last Tuesday evening where both teams struggled desperately to win an exciting and interesting match which ended 60 to 60. The entire contest was just as even as the score. Leroy Pepion, one of our veterans, was the only one to win by two straight falls. Frank Dumont won his match by decisions. Roland Booth lost the first by a decision and won the second by a fall. Matthew James lost by two straight falls. George Goujon was the surprise package of our team when he won over an aggressive opponent by two decisions. Peter McClusky lost the first by a decision and won the second by a fall. Ira Booth lost his match by two straight decisions. George Pepion won his first bout by a fall and lost the second by a decision. Ray Charles was injured at the start of his match so was not able to continue. However, it was only slight and he is in good shape now. Soon we hope to have the Oregon City team here. With both teams so evenly matched we are sure of an even ing of excitement.
