TWO CHANCES
'Olo' Springfield will enter Into
two contests. The debating team
against Eugene High and the basket
ball team against Cottage Grove.
Both teams are "priming" for the
contests, earl of the teams being
from larger schools.
Cottage Grov "walloped" Monroe
with a big score and Monroe "walked"
on Springfield, so it appears that
'ole' Springfield will have to shake a
"wicked leg." 8. 1L 8. has lost eve
gsrae this sason except one, last
season they only won one, this year
its up to them to win at ' lesst two
and Cottage Grove looks about . as
promising aa any of them. Tha
game ts Saturday night The debat
ing team Is the first one organised
in the Hint School to compete with
other schools for several years.
Eugene looks like a pretty big bite
for the first time bat as said before,
they are about as promising a any
of thera fate doesn't care who it
gives the victory to. -
Here Is the proposition there U
going to be two contests, basket ball
bare and debate here. Now make
a point to attend one" of them.
If yon can't stand excitement go to
the game and if yon enjoy tie match
ing of wits go to tie debate. The
negative debate will be held In the
High School Friday evening and the
affirmative in Eugene.
