Although a new school, Junction City High has always ta'fen an active part in all branches Of athletics, and has generally finished the season with a good record. Havingonly a few students from which to choose for the different athletic branches we are handicapped to a great extent, but, the spirit which the contestants for the honors display, has always made this hitth school prominent even with schools of much larger attendance. Football and basket ball were the sports m0?t actively eu- gaged in this season, but a track team was established later in the'season, which, judging from the way the athletes take hold; will be the main forte of our high school in the future. FOOTBALL. Football material was rather scarce this. year, especially in the heavy-weight line, but a team was deveIOped from the tryois and proved to be one which finished the season with a record to be proud of considering the weight of the diffei'ent teams they bwent up against? bZekeh Butler was chosen cap-. tain, while William Perman, the clever quarter-back of several seasons, was the one selected to show the boys how to do it. The following is the line-up.. which took part in the different games: - Jensen .................................... REL .............................. C.

ingdefeated by the large score stated above. The Brownsville team was composed of heavier players and all of them were more experienced, that being the main reason for the large score. R. Jackson ,the husky fullback was easily the star for Junction. This game was the first for most of our boys and the defeat was worth the price in experience. Crestwell, o; J. C. H, S., 43. The second game was played at Creswell on Tovember 5, with the high school of that place. The game was very one- sided as the above score would indicate, our boys playing clever ball at all times ,while .the' Creswell boys were the inexperienced ones th1s time. Prof. Baker's boys were a very gentlemanly lot, showing our boys a fine time during their stay, while the girls also contributed their part in the entertainment. Springiield, 10; J. C. H. S., o. The game with Springfield on Noevmber 8th, resulted in another defeat for the garnet and lemon. The Springfield boys partly redeeming themselves for the overwhelming defeat suf- fered at our hands the year before. 'The game was very hard fought, notwithstanding the score, which at the end of the first half stood 6 to o in favor of the Vl3!ltOfS. In the second half they rolled up ten more tallies, making their total score sixteen. Carey Strome was the bright shining light for J. C. H. S., mak- ing several long runs and playing a spectacular game straight through. Creswell, 6; J. C. H.. S., 40. The return game with the Creswell boys was played at this place on November 19th. Our young hopefuls again proved their superiority over the upper valley bunch, and beat them by a score almost as large as the previous one. Creswellls six points were made by their half-back, who suc- ceeded in pulling off a long run and then successfully kicking the goal. Thompson, the young heavyweight, played a keen game on our side, being in the game at all stages. Harpole also contributed several long runs, also playing a good offenswe game. Rivervieaw, 0-; J. C. H. S., 6. The last game of the season was played at thisolace Decein- ber 3rd, between our boys and the Riverwew Agric s. The Vis- itors were there strong on the avoirdupoiis, but rather- short on wind and practice, putting up a great game at all tlmes. Junction had several chances to score, but only succeeded in making one touch-down, a long run being made by Quarter- back, Flint. 2 And thus closeth the season.
