! oys’ Atfytetics A thletics had gradually died out until about four years ago. The lack of boys and the absence of a place to play were the reasons for this. But when the new school house was built with a modern gym athletics started with a bang! At first the boys were not very skillful due to lack of experience but they have now reached a point where they have every chance of putting out championship teams. This year we are fully represented on the athletic field. We had a basketball team in three divisions, the 100-lb., the 130-lb., and the unlimited teams. As this goes to press we are in the midst of our baseball season, which has been fairly successful to date with better hopes for the future. Training is under way for the track and field meet at Petaluma in the near future, and there we expect to bring to light some new stars. basketball The three teams have played a total of twenty games, winning nine of these. PIONEER FRUIT CO. The unlimited started the season with a series of three games with the Pioneer Fruit Company, all of which were won by C. H. S. with a small margin in each game. BOONVILLE We now tackled Boonville with both unlimited and 130-lb. teams. The unlimited game was a walk-away for Cloverdale with a large score in our favor. The 130 pounders were defeated by a small score. CALISTOGA Our next opponent was Calistoga in the unlimited division. We were defeated, but two of our stars were out of the game. Frates, the captain and guard, was laid up with a sprained ankle, and Barker, a forward and shark on goal, was also out. A return game was arranged. By this time our team, was at its strong¬ est and easily defeated the team that had walked on us before. GEYSERVILLE We played Geyserville our old rival. They defeated our unlimited team by four points but the one game went to C. H. S. in the light division. The following week we played them again with the same results except they won from the unlimited by only two points. lyttons The hundred and hundred and thirty pound teams journeyed to Lyt¬ tons and returned with a defeat from the former and a victory for the latter.

£eague (Barries Our league schedule now started and our first opponent was Santa Rosa. The victory was theirs in both games. Next came Healdsburg. They won but they had a hard fought battle on both games to do so. After them we tackled Petaluma. That is all; the future champions of the league evidently didn’t like our looks so they ran away from us in each struggle. The next game scheduled was Sonoma but they forfeited the unlimited game to us. While we forfeited the hundred and thirty to them. We had no chance in the league so forfeited both games to Analy. baseball We have played six games to date as follows: Hopland twice and a defeat handed us each time. Calistoga another defeat and then St. Helena; this was a hard battle with both teams going strong but they got the final dicision with one run lead. Now we were ready for Geyserville. The first game with them we won by a score of 16-4. This was also true in the second game with them. The score this time being 11-5. Although this record may not seem very brilliant, it proves that athletics are on the incline at C. H. S. and that in a few years our school will be well represented. Wbo?
