I mean the athletic cup which Maupin has won for two successive years at the Was co county track meet. .Before Maupin received the cup Dufur had held it for two years. Last year Dufur did not compete .but we find their name on the entry heet this year, and keen rivalry is promised as this is, or should be, Maupin's third year to hold the cup. If we are successful in track this year this entitles us to hold the cup permanently.

As soon as it is returned to the High school building it will be sent to The Dalles where it will again be engraved. HITS AND MISSES ,(By Elton) "Babe Fraley is a wonder with the "willow."
