All contestants winning a first division rating are eligible for the regional contest held at Ta coma May 16 and 17. A Boys’ Glee club was started after several years’ absence and this semester has an enrollment of 47. They are going to the contest with high hopes of win ning a first division rating. Mr. Wade hopes to take the band to Tacoma this year, if they win a first rating in the district con test. It should be a thriller. The Lions have come up in the league to first place arid the O. C. team has dropped frpm high ratting to lower running. The Lions have lost their first game with the Pioneers and if the lose this game that will give O. C. a charice to the state tour nament if they beat the Molalla team. Nobody knows how the game Friday night will come out but if the Lions win they will have to play them again, be cause it is the better of two out of three games. The way the Lions havee been going the last part of the season they should have a good chance to win. It should be a good race bet tween Ernie Gettel of O. C., who is leading No Name league for high^ score, and Hoss Herndon who is leading the Lions. W. L. will probably be short of Donovan because he is out with the measles at the present time. Donovan is a good defensive man and also good on offense when he really want to start hitting the basket. Buckles of -the “B” squad is also out. The first game is scheduled to start at 7:15 p. m. Lineups: West Linn—forwards, Herndon and Webster; center, McLaughlin; guards, Merkle and Elliott.
