ATHLETICS When we come to High School Athletics, we feel that someone from M. H. S. should be given a chance to speak. The Morrison High School has had Athletics for a number of years now, and each year our standing has been raised. In the Fall the majority of the time is spent in playing Football, the King of Sports. There seems to be nothing more exciting or in- teresting to a high school student than to watch that team, the team of which they boast, force its way down the field, and then be re- pulsed, and even driven back, by opponents. And then to see a player get away with the ball, go thru a fake play, or a line smash, and at last go over the enemy's line. Morrison has just such a time every Fall when eleven men, each with a desire to do his share in winning a victory for old Red and Black, go onto that field with their teeth set and a determination to win. After the Football season is over, everybody becomes interested in Basketball. Here we also have exciting moments, when the ball is taken back and forth, up and down the floor, and finally a player shoots a star basket. But Basketball doesn't seem to last as long as Football, or Track, which comes next. Morrison has an exceptionally fine place for track work. The Fair Association is always willing to let the teams use the race track at the Fair Grounds, which make an excellent grounds. Perhaps, without a doubt, Track is the finest all-around sport for a high school, for most any man with any athletic ability can find a place in the track work, if not in a race, in either the jumps or weights. Last of all comes the Baseball. The early publication of the Annual restrains us from giving the Baseball reports this year, but if they are as good as usual we can easily judge what they will be. Tennis has also become a great factor in M. H. S. This year the girls are preparing a court, and expect to participate in the great game. The girls have carried on indoor athletic work the entire year, from which they have secured much benefit.
