School News Items.
Local interest in the big gridiron
clash next Saturday in Eugene be­
tween the Oregon Agricultural Col­
lege and Oregon University, is grow­
ing daily. Backers of both sides are
eager to bet on the outcome of the
game and for the special benefit of
the high school faculty the result of
the game by quarters will be wired
from Portland. There are many peo­
ple in the city who are graduates of
both schools and they are eagerly
awaiting the result of the game.
W. G. Dwight has given the high
school free use of the opera hall for
basketball and is allowing
v the StU-
dents the privilege of fixing the hall
for the games that are scheduled for
the season.
Representatives from four, classes
in the high school met this week and
arranged a basketball schedule of
three games for each class and the
class having the highest percentage at
the close of the series will claim the
school interclass championship.
The opening basketball game will
be played next Wednesday evening
between the Agricultural class te„’n
and the college preparatory class
team, at the opera hall.
The second debate tryout for the
selection of the high school debating
team was held in the Christian church
last Saturday morning and the fol­
lowing candidates were selected in
their order of ranking. Ernest Crock-
att, first; Delmer Powers and „Clif­
ford Martin, tied for second place,
and Lee Doty and Trevor Hare tied
for fourth place, Charles Lamb was a
close sixth. Coach Crockatt says that
he has never seen such material for a
debating team as there is this year
in the school.
Attorney H. T. Botts spoke to the
high school students on last Tuesday
afternoon, giving them an insight in­
to the simple workings of the laws of
our country and a new idea of the
duties and responsibilities of lawyers
in the community. The lecture was
listened to attentively by the students
and was of special benefit to those
who are studying in school with the
intention of taking up law study in
college.
Mr. Botts and Mr. Lamb, members
of the school board, recently spent an
entire afternoon inspecting the work
of the schools. They visited all the
grade rooms for various lengths of
time and a number of the high school
classes.

Evidence, to which we have hereto­
fore called attention, that Canada re­
grets her rejection of the United
States reciprocity treaty four years
ago, continues to accumulate. Partic-
ularly in the great agricultural prov­
inces in the west of the Dominion,
the feeling of regret is becoming so
bitter as to amount to one of exas­
peration against the Eastern provin­
ces, which is not logical but, is per­
haps, natural under the circumstances
It is now being charged, in some
parts of the Canadian West, that
the voters of that section were mis­
led into voting against reciprocity
because they had been induced to be­
lieve that such action was necessary
as a means of protection to the man­
ufacturing interests of Ontario prov­
ince, and of Quebec, Halfax and Mon-

A Little More Moss from Woods.
We will wager there isn’t a paper
ot any sort that arrives at the Woods
postoffice that is looked forward to
with more interest and eagerness
than the “Old Headlight” nowadays.

None of the old
’Mossbacks," know who is going to
get scraped next for the next week's

writer enjoys immensely.
Mr. Spencer thought that because
he was ahead of the car he could beat

beat him. It takes more than mere

Mr Lewis had a visitor this week.
But it gave some of us “fellers” the
shivers because we didn't know which
one of us he had come to call on at
first, it isn't often the shirift comes
down this wav. But he never comes
except on business.
Some of the boys spunked right up
last Saturday night, but some ot them
had cold feet. Never mind boys you
leedn't be scarce! it might not have
oeen you anyway.
The schoolmaams moved into their
new bungalo on “Bachelor Row” last
Saturday evening.
It seems to us that some of those
