of the first. North was again beaten 11-2. The second game with Central proved to be the fastest and most exciting of year, as the championship was practically between these two teams. However, West played a clever game of hockey and defeated Central 3-2. East was again beaten 5-0. The season ended by West defeating South 7-0. I otal points: West, 45; Opponents, 4. Every man on the squad deserves much credit for the sportsmanlike conduct that was displayed throughout the season. The following were awarded their W's : Orth, Callaway, Bruce. Ganslc, Brown. Thompson. Overlock. Inter-Class Basket-Ball ON ACCOUNT of our not having any gymnasium of our own it was necessary that West High should go without any regular school team in basket-ball. This did not interfere, however, with the inter-class games. With little or no practice, teams representing each class of the school, met at Cooke's Gymnasium on Friday evening March II. for the class championship. The gallery and floor was crowded with supporters of their various teams. The Freshmen and Juniors played their game first. The Freshmen equalled the Juniors in playing ability, but the men of ‘I I were so much heavier that the weight counted and they won by a narrow margin. Next the Sophinores and Seniors went to it. This was the closest game of the evening and neither side was sure of victory until the game was over. The Seniors won. Then the Juniors and Seniors went at it after a short interval for rest. This game was practically a walk away for the Seniors. 1 hey won by a score of 18 to 6— thus winning the inter-class championship for their class.

Overlook UNDER the leadership of the capable little captain, Orth, the hockey team repeated its record of last year, by winning its second championship. Through the influence of Dr. Keen, physical director of the Minneapolis Public Schools, we obtained a rink from the Park Board. The article of hockey played by the team this year was far superior to that of the previous year, and the team was more than gratified in the way the school supported the game. Although hard luck attended the team at various periods, they redoubled their determination, and came through with colors flying. North was the first team to fall before the West ( puck chasers ) by the count of 6-0. Next Central was taken into camp and defeated by the score of 4-0. South proved somewhat weaker, and were beaten 8-0. East was the next team to suffer defeat, score 6-0. I he second round was but a repetition Ttcenlt - four

Fcelcy Rom Gee Robertson Scott Track Team IT IS A hard proposition to say anything of interest of a track team, as early as it is necessary to write this article, for serious training has just begun, and there have been no interscholastic meets in which the team might test its worth. It has. however, got an excellent start, and there is an abundance of spirit and enthusiasm among those fellows who really intend to go into the sport with an earnestness. I hrough the courtesy of Dr. Grant, of the University, the team has the use of the Armory indoor track lor one morning each week, and this is a great help toward putting the men in a fit condition. 1 he hard outdoor work will come as soon as the weather warms up sufficiently to allow it. Albert J. Robertson was re-elected manager from last year, and he has had charge of the team since the season opened, with its winter training in the latter part of December. At a meeting several weeks ago Alvin Scott was chosen as captain for 1910. and with his aid. both as a runner and leader, there is no reason why West High’s track team should not be one of the first rank.
