IDebattno The Astoria High School has again joined the debating league. Two years ago we debated in the final at Eugene. Last year we were not as successful as we were the year before; but this year we are determined to win. We are in the Columbia River District and have for opponents, Hood River and The Dalles. The first debate is to take place not later than December thirty-first. The place of the first meeting and the schools who are to take part in them are not yet named. The subject as assigned to us is Resolved that life imprison¬ ment, with restricted power of pardon of, should be substituted for capital punishment in Oregon.” Some materal has already arrived and the pupils are at work. We have quite a number of persons in outr High School who would make good debaters, and everybody is interrested in the subject; so let everybody work and keep formost in his mind the cup which is the gift of the Regents of the University of Oregon, and not only the cup, but that it stands for.

As only one meeting has been he’d in the Wauregan society, but little business has been transacted. The future meetings are to be enlivened by more thorough parliamentary drill. There is also some thought of a number of extemporaneous debates to be given by members of the Society. Parliamentary drill is what the Wauregan society lacks and some of the new under classmen know partically nothing of this important phase of a literary society. We hope this year to give our members the best literarv work possible, and if the members work together we can hope for more than this. ALFREDIAN. On Oct. 29, the Alfredian Society held their first meeting. The Alfredians this year are strengthened by the presence of about thirtv new members. The program rendered at this meeting was exceptionallv good. Alfredians have displayed abundant spirit, and will be readv to meet the Wauregans for literarv honors before the end of the school vear.

The first game of the inter-class series was played on Friday, November twelth. The boys had been practicing hard in anticipat¬ ion of a turkey dinner offered by Coach Blake illo the team winning two out of three games, and it was a very lively contest. The upper-classmen scored first when Foster tackled McCannon and threw him across the line for a touch-down. Near the end of the first-half Larson recovered a fumble and ran twenty-yards for a touch-down. The half ended without further scoring. The second half was a punting duel between Malagamba and Ness with the honors slightly in favor of Ness. About the middle of the second half the upper class men worked the ball to the Freshies twenty- yard line, and Malagamba put over a pretty drop kick. With three minutes to play, the Freshmen took a splendid brace and carried the ball down the field a distance of fifty yards for a touch-down. Ness kicked goal. Hartesdy and Malagamba starred for the upper classes; while McCannon and Gilnor did the same for the Freshies. The time of the Halves was twenty-five minutes. Melville Morton refereed; and Mervvn Trover, umpired; each per¬ forming his duty both in a very creditable manner. Carl Sanders held the office of chief lineman. pper-Classmen Lineup Freshies Larsen C. M oore Danielson R. G. Rifle Franklin L. G. Lewi ns Billie R. T. Tones Utzinger L. T. Jeldness Foster R. F.
