Lena Fastabend., Address all communications to the Editor or Business Manager of The Zephyrus, Astoria High School, Astoria, Oregon. The ‘‘Zephyrus,” which is edited by the students of the Astoria High School, is, first of all, for the students them- selves. Itison them that we depend for material, and were every student to contribute in the way best suited to his abilities we are sure that not only would this paper be a success from a material standpoint but we know that the liter- ary talent in the school will be devel- oped, and every student will be stimu- lated. Through this column ought to be dis- cussed many subjects which are too often overlooked by the staff and stu- Editorial dents in general. Sometimes there are subjects with which the staff are not. acquainted, and for this reason are not able to deal with them. Further, most of these subjects are of real interest and importance, and we desire to make this column a helpful one by placing such topics before the students. We know that our teachers, our fellow-students, the alumni, and our friends outside of this school will see and know of many defects in our paper, for instance; and we desire that anyone who is interested in our school enterprises would set these ideas before us as editorials,

fe) argument during this half, although the ball was her territory most of the time. “The crowd was brought to its feet when Astoria got possession of the ball on Eugene’s five-yard line. Nesbitt re- placed Gray at this point. Upshur and Parker worked the ball to the eighteen- yard line and Rogers got clear away from the field and had easy sailing for a touchdown, when his leg gave way under him. ‘This was about their only chance to score, for the ball was too far from the goal to try for a place kick. The remainder of the game was a see-saw, and when the whistle blew Eugene had the ball on Astoria’s thirty-seven-yard line.” Following was the lineup: Eugene Astoria Pengra, 155 C Ross, 151 Rae, 158 LGR Peschl, 135 KKoch, 160 RGL Barry, 135 Bailey, 238 1by ABS Troyer, 188 Anderson,170 RTL Jeldness, 150 Gray, 136 LER KE.

A. began operations by kicking off to Astoria. Upshur, receiving the ball, punted it back to the center of the field, where it was recovered by an Astoria man. From here the High school began a steady march toward P. A.’s goal that ended ina touchdown. ‘The try at goal missed. A little later in this half Astoria scored a safety. Just before the half ended another touchdown was made, making the score 12 to 0 in favor of Astoria. The second half was a very poor ex- hibition of football, as both sides were playing dirty ball. Astoria was penalized time and again for fouls. Near the end of the half P, A. scored a touchdown on THE ZEPHYRUS a blocked punt. An easy goal was kicked, giving P. A. 6. The game ended with the ball on P. A.’s ten-yard line.

Tuomala is the only member of last year’s team whom we will lose. Some of the fresh- man material looks especially good for the sprints and middle distances. Pros- pects for any weight men are not very bright, although several will try out. The management has one or two meets in sight before the Corvallis meet; this will show up some of the promising material before the final team is picked. BASKETBALL In Professor Imel it seems that the girls have a very good basketball coach, and they have turned out about thirty strong, pructicing regularly three times a week. Arrangemenis haye been made to play the Seaside team here soon. ‘I'he manager has in sight a trip for the team during Christmas vacation, during which they will play some of the best valley teams. BASEBALL The Astoria High School has never been very strong on baseball, but there are prospects for a very good team this coming season. Among the freshman boys there are several good players, and they will do their best to get up a team. There is only one thing missing and that is a good pitcher; but we believe that there are several who, with a little prac- tice, can hold down that position,
