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.

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.

the first team of the Astoria High School is allowed to play. This makes the contestants evenly matched, and the class interest intense. VANCOUVER HIGH — 0. — ASTORIA HIGH — 21. On Nov. 6 the game was played on the High School grounds here between ;t]he Astoria and Vancouver High Schools. Although our team was crippled by the loss of some of our best players, they managed to put up a good game and easily defeated our heavier opponents. The boys on the home team all played their best, and shone as individual stars. BASKET-BALL. The Girl’s Basket-Ball Team turned out for practice this year under the supervision of Coach Blake. At present there is some question as to wether they be allowed to play the bov’s rules. The consensus of opinion of the Board and the Faculty is that gims rules should be substituted for the rules in present) nse formed.
