ELKS SPELLERS
FIGHT TO
A bitter battle to the end, that
nnual epic struggle, the Elk' spell
ing bee, ended In a draw last night
before a large gallery ol spelling farm
followlnii the match, round ny rouna
True to his trust a captain, Quo
Newbury was the last to go down on
his side, while Court Kail, leader of
bis hand-picked crew, remained al
most to the finish, encountering bad
weather in the word "collectible," and
coming down in a forced landing.
The match was one of the moat
orderly In many years and at the
same time revealed the spellers to
be In the pink of condition, spelling
words which in past years had proved
gtnibllng blocks. In their hast to
epell rapidly, however, contestants
tolled on worda they had known since
grammar school days. Banks of the
Newbury and Hall contingent were
strengthened by the presence of sev
eral lady Elks, who withstood numer
ous barrages only to finally succumb.
For a round or two there were no
casualties until Raymond Retcr of the
Newbury forces forgot there was an
V on the end of "breathe," and
with scholarly aplomb was mo
tioned to his seat by Schoolmaster
Delroy Oetchell. It was not long
until others followed him. One of the
stars of the Kail spellers, Mrs. Joe
Pllegel, stumbled on "awkward," leav.
ixis out the socond "w."
John Niedermeyer had good Inten
tions with the word "surgeon," but
blurted out s-e-r-g-o-o-n. While Mrs.
Hamilton Patton was one of the most
enthusiastic supporters of Newbury,
enthusiastic" sent her down, follow
ed by Mrs. Carl Bowman, who was
generous with "l's" in partial.
At this point Captain Hall charged
stalling tactics In the Newbury ranks
between Ralph Kooaer and Olenn
fimith, but with his usual efficiency.
Schoolmaster Oetchell soon had peace
restored. Joe Tliegel started out
bravely on "aisle" but failed. Smith
high school principal, started equally
as courageously on "isle" and forgot
to mention the "s." Bert Thierolff
tailed on the same word.
For years Louis Ulrlch had known
the orthography of "corps," but when
It Was given to him, he gave up with
out a struggle. Mrs. Olenn Smith
fell by the wayside on the same one,
while Phil Lou ns berry, who used to
be one of the champion bicycle rid
ers of Medford, forgot the letters
used In "pedal." Don Newbury, an
other Hall supporter, became puzzled
on "stationary," and Dr. Goldsberry
on "contagious.1
C. T. Baker failed to remember nls
spelling rules and took his seat when
'receive" came his way. Cole Holmes,
who had come through with colors
flying on several difficult tests, added
an "e" to "chaperon." Walter Olm
soliled tried hard of "ambassador,"
but In his anxiety missed. George
Neilson did no better on "benefited,"
when he used too many "t's." C. O.
Lemmon end Mrs. Walter Rowley had
Ideas on "parallel" but did not voice
them properly.
Ralph Kooaer had spent the even
ing before practicing on "eligible,"
but when he tried to spell it, down
he went, followed by August K locker,
one of Newbury's anchor men, who
didn't do so well with "hypocrite."
Xast year Klocker was one of the last
men to go down.
When It had begun to appear that
Hamilton Patton would keep on go
ing forever, along came "marvelous."
Walter Rowley tried "srnly" and fail
ed, while Joe Marshall thought be
could spell "parallelepipedon." He
progressed no further than "para."
Austin Frazler was one of the last
three in the Newbury ranks. He
made his farowell bow on "paranoiac,"
Victor Tengwald and E. C. Ferguson
stood their ground after their captain
failed on "collectible," "Fergle" kept
on spelling until a catchword, "Par
affin," came his way. This left Qua
Newbury and Ernest Rostel on the
other side.
Out came the word "foray" and
Hostel spelled it f-o-r-a-j but did not
know the schoolmaster was looking
aft another method oi spelling the
word as "forray." Either method was
correct, the schoolmaster later stated,
but Rostel went down,
PSintns h nlW In stnmhat irrnv
Newbury and Tengwald were ready I
for the worst. It came with the iext 1
word, "amerceahle." Cnptaln New-1
bury missed and when It came to
Tengwald he missed as well, causing
the big match to end in a draw. Last
year Tengwald came through the
match unscathed. In view of last
night's spelling, he defended his
championship title well.
Schoolmaster Oetchell stated there
was more good spelling in the en
counter than he had heard for many
years, stating further all the words I
out of an advanced apetllngbook were
exhausted and the dictionary was
found necessary to bring the match
to a close. He was especially proud
of the group In spelling the entire
list of catchwords he had prepared, j
Including such teasers as: rarefied.!
naphtha, kimono, picnicking, huttai. i
Ion, liquefy, sacrilegious, biscuit, I
charivari, consensus, occurred, libel- i
ous, limned, recommend, collectible I
and paraffin. The last word, before !
It was missed by Ferguson, had been i
spelled correctly once before during !
the evening.
The schoolmaster declared the j
spelling was on a par with sny cham-j
ptonshlp school class and was espec-;
tally pleased with the manner In '
which Captains Newbury and Hall j
conducted themselves, remembering
some of the matches In years gone
hy, especially one when Hall spelled
"spinach" as "splnage, and Newbury
Kpelled "garage" with a "j."
Following the spelling bee, refresh
inents were served and dancing was
enjoyed, bringing to an end an even
lng filled with genuine entertainment
and Incidentally the last day of Ralph
Kooaers ralgn as exalted ruler, fin
lshlng one of the most successful
years In the history of the lodge. He
it being followed by Joe Fllegel as
exalted ruler.
