l «y % • » i Track and Field. A THLETICS ill the P. H. S. have been on the decline for several years, and there is absolutely no reason for it except the lack of interest taken. In the last S. M. A. A. L. field-day we secured but six points and these were won by the only two boys who trained consistently. With the material at present in our school we could have won the last field-day and won easily, too. As it was we had trouble in scraping up enough men to run the relay when we should have been forced to choose the six best men. The result of the field-day together with a little talk by one of our old-time athletes, Tom McGuire, seemed to stir up an interest in the sports, and at present we have seventeen boys training for a field-day with Santa Rosa High. Of course it is not to be expected that all these will make a showing at their first trial, but there is no reason why next year we should not have a crack team and give Ukiali or any other school a run for their money. Then, too, next year will be ' Peta¬ luma’s turn to hold the field-day, and if the boys only take hold of this we can fill up the sadly depleted P. H. S. treasury, besides giving the league a chance to run on one of the fastest tracks in the State. Those aspiring for track honors at the coming field- day are Martin Poelilmann, Floyd McAllister, Herbert Brainerd, John Lauritzen, Neal McLean, Lewis Crom¬ well, Earnest Jacobsen, Walter Foster, Ray Corliss, Hans Lauritzen, Ludwig Schluckebier, Jim Anderson, A 1 Anderson, Charles Chittenden, Arthur Evans and Joseph Tuttle. Martin Poelilmann was the manager of the ’03 team and Herbert Brainerd was track captain. I11 a meeting following the last field-day Martin Poelilmann was elected captain for next year ' s team. Now it’s up to us, fellows. Let’s bring P. H. S. to the front again. ’Rah for the Purple and White. H. K. B. Basket Ball. The P. H. S. Basket-ball team has gone through another year of victories and defeats and despite many disadvantages, the interest is still at its height. The girls found much difficulty in securing a place to play and a team to play against. Both were secured and the

l t 1 girls practiced with a vim. The first game was played in town with the Grammar school team, and our girls won by a large score. The next day the P. H. S. team departed amid cheers and encouragement from the boys, for San Francisco to meet the team of the Girls’ High School. Our team was beaten by the small score of 8-2, and though we were defeated we spent a most enjoyable day. Two more match games took place this season, one with the Lowell High School team in San Francisco May 23d, and the other with the Girls’ High School team here on May 30th. Myrtle Healv has acted as captain this year and Hilda Atkinson, manager. We wish to thank the faculty and others for the interest they have shown, and especially the boys whose enthusiasm gave us much encouragement. T. B. s. ‘03. The Josher.
