Harry H.—Because the farther down you go the hotter it gets. Lew Coil was elected by the Freshman class as their repre- sentative. Bernice Gridley. Athletic Report. Hudson High School opened this year with something new in an athletic way, that is, a new gymnasium in the Unitarian church. The hall is large enough to play basket ball in, and a stage at one end makes it an excellent place in which to hold plays. There is no athletic apparatus installed yet, but this will be added as the money is forth coming. The Athletic Association started out this year with a deficit of $27.44, but this was all paid off by money obtained from the Athlet ic. Association dues, leaving in the treasury $12.81. A great deal of help is needed to finance baseball and basket ball and we need the support of practically everyone in the High School. Football Death Knell Sounded From present appearances, the chances of the Hudson High School’s ever having another football team have been blotted out. For two successive years the High School has been without a foot ball team. The chief reason last year was that the student body could not support three branches of athletics; the deticit of $27.44 stands as positive proof of this statement. This year when it came time for the gridiron stars to start the pig skin a-rolling, on- ly thirteen eligible men reported. Now this seems to present a very peculiar situation. Why is it that schools a great deal small- er than the Hudson High School can and do support base ball, foot ball and basket ball, having the necessary players aud the mouey at hand? This gives New Richmond and River Falls a chance to knock our athletic and in some ways we have it coming. The whole proposition is up to the students, and as loyal students it is their duty to come forward and boost three kinds of athletics. f o- V

TRUh BLUE 15 Instead of foot ball, fall base ball is being played. Two full teams are out every night and somegood games between the Longs and the Shorts are expected in the near future. Good material is scarce, although first base, short stop and the out field are pretty well taken care of. There are three men out for catch, but none of them are making a success of it. There seems to be no one try- ing for second base, while, although there are candidates out for third base, it is practically open. Hut the most serious obstacle that has to be overcome is the lack of pitchers. Not a good pitcher has reported vet and one cannot be developed in a season. It took the pitcher, who pitched tor Hudson last year, three years to de- velop into a good pitcher. One peculiar situation is that not a single Freshman is out practicing. Base ball will suffer the fate of foot ball if things go on in this way. “WAKE, FRESHMAN, WAKE.” 18 to 2 The long expected game between the Longs and the Shorts oc- curred Wednesday, October 11. The game was won by the Shorts, and although the Longs look the best on paper, they were not in it at all. Henry Blier, pitcher for the Shorts, held the Longs safe at all times, and would have scored a shut-out if it hadn’t been for errors. SHORTS H. Blier H. Goldberg H Nelson T. Dorgan H. Stofer S.
