Page Twenty T H E D 0 NI E for news, though it be sad, we were defeated by Boys High School in a Cross Country match to-day. The score was 24--31. VVednesday, Oct. 18. Yes, we now have a Golf Team, which won our first victory of the year by defeat- ing Newtown H.S. with the score of 2--I. To-day is our lucky day for winning events, says the skipper, and so we also whipped Horace lVIann in a soccer game ending 2--O in our favor. Thursday, Oct. 19. The only news of importance to-day, be- sides the daily academic, is that the Rich- mond Hill High School Dramatic Club held its Hrst meeting in Room 302 at three o'clock, and-sh! here's a secret-they are going to give us the best yet, it is ru- mored. Can you imagine them excelling their past work? But then, of course, Miss Barber is their counsellor and adviser. Friday, Oct. 20. This morning we have on the program a musical assembly. The Orchestra entertains us with our old favorite, Light Cavalry, and two artists of the fair sex entertain and honor us with vocal and piano solos, which are very much appreciated by the student body. Saturday, Oct. 21. The game that was scheduled for to-day against Commercial H.S. is postponed until next lvednesday, when our soccer players will try for a victory. lldonday, Oct. 23. The first meeting of the Junior Dramatic Club took place to-day. There is no other news of the day except the usual calm sea and N. by N.E. winds. Tuesday, Oct. 24. Strong N. by N.VV. winds to-day, and it looks as though we are all set for a reg- ular winter. This afternoon we were de- feated by Commercial H.S. in a basketball game ending 33--18. VVednesday, Oct. 25. The log of the good ship R.H.H.S. is completed, and the shipls first destination is reached as we sail- on to-morrow. An account of the events of the coming trip will be recorded in the next log published. . . .And now, for reading this conglom- eration of facts and nonsense, I thank you. Glenn McCori1zeIl C Mac J. ora 2 , THLETIE5 Richmond Hill High School is at present in one of its best athletic periods, the reason being that all of the men on the teams are of championship caliber. There is our champion Tennis Team, which proved to the schools of Queens that Richmond Hill High can produce racquet wielders. Here- tofore Flushing had monopolized the cham- pionship. A Golf Team representing this school won the golf championship of New York City. Then there is the Baseball Team, which brought to light a number of future Babe Ruths, Artie Nehfs, and Wally Pipps. Bu! now the major sport is Brzskelbzzll, a game in which Richmond Hill has more championship men than in any other school sport. Now, lVIr. Student and Miss Student, it is up to you to do your part. Show the season's teams that you are back of them and ready to yell your loudest for them. Go to the games, and give your champions somebody to fight for. Follow the crowd! Go to the athletic meets of this season.

As the Annex crew did not witness the- installation of the new G.O. officers, it was given in duplicate at No. 51 this morning. Tuesday, Oct. 3.

Philup Space again inserts himself here, so the log shall appear complete and pass the skipper's inspection. Friday, Oct. 6. To-day is called club day, and the stage is crowded with speakers all anxious to boost their respective clubs. And such a number of clubs as there are! Our new stage should fast appear if we wish to seat all of our eager club representatives upon the platform. Saturday, Oct. 7. The first soccer game of the season was played to-day with Boys High School. Both schools won. That is, they QBoys High, managed to tie the score, and as a result it looks like this: I--I. Our home grounds are at the Democratic Field. Monday, Oct. 9. Back again, with nothing unusual to re- cord to-day. Tuesday, Oct. IO.

This afternoon R.H.H.S. was scheduled to play Jamaica, but the game was not played, and so we delay another victory. Saturday, Oct. 14. In the afternoon of this date R.H.H.S. was entered in a Cross Country race. The other contestants were Commercial, Evan- der Childs, and Jamaica High Schools. We came in first place. Some team! Monday, Oct. 16. Another week started, and after 3 o'clock Cor, to be exact, at 3105, the Clarenceville Station was lined with about 2.0 fellows who were all intent upon making a bull's- eyen look like a screen door. Thus the Rifle Club held its first practice in a Brooklyn armory. Tuesday, Oct. 17. Did you ever hear of Columbia Hall? Never mind if you haven't-anyway we needed a new basketball court, and so, prestof a few hundred dollars gave Rich- mond Hill a new place for diversion called the Auditorium Recreation Center. Also

T H E D O M E Page Twenty-one ' Soccer Three winters ago Richmond Hill High added to its list of sports that strenuous game known as soccer, the foot and head game. This sport even in its infancy was met with enthusiasm by the whole school, and has rapidly progressed each year. This year Richmond Hill played its first game against Boys High, the picked winners of the soccer championship, and although our boys outplayed them on their field the score was a tie, one to one. VVhy? Because of lack of support. When one fellow had the ball near their goal, there were only a few to cheer our team to put that ball through their goal. Richmond Hill High has plenty of school spirit, but why be ashamed of it? lf you do not play on the team, at least come out and cheer for it. This year R.H.H.S. has obtained the use of a held nearer the school, and efven has benrlzes to rest those husky rooters. This certainly is an inducement to the student body to at least attend all home games. With the nearer field the team has had more practice than before, as much as four afternoons a week sacrificed by the mem- bers. So you can at least lend your support and cheer on our team to victory! The soccer team is now under the able guidance of coach Caldicott and 'lBig Mil Richardson as captain. lVIr. Hutcheson is on the job as faculty advisor. The prob- able line-up for the games is as follows: Outside r.f. .......... Beal, Zwerling Inside r.f. .. ,... King, Ramsay Center f.. . . ....... Taggard . . .Richardson, E. Inside l.f.. . . Outside l.f.. . ......... Stellwagen Right h.b. . . ............ Bernstein Center h.b. ..... Lang, Stone, Smalley Left h.b. .................... Lehr Right f.b. ......... Luebber, Kestler Left f.b. .... Richardson, NI. CCapt.D Goal .. ............. Pardee, Ecke F. Kortluclee, llffauager. Basketball Last year the Basketball Team won the championship of Queens. This year we expect to make an even better showing. The services of lVIiles and Kammerer, who played guard last year, were lost to the school through graduation. Of the reg- ulars of last year, Richardson, Rogers, and Lewis were left. Richardson was elected captain of the team. Practice was started early in October. Coach Jacobson was pleased with the num- ber of candidates that came out. Richmond Hill is also to have a Midget Team. Much attention is to be paid to the Nlidgets, as they will some day be Rich- mond Hill's Varsity. To win a championshippit is necessary not only to have a good team, but to have the honest support of the school. Buy your season ticket, and attend the games reg- ularly. Fred Buhler, jl'T!I11Il5JF7'. Rifle Team Last year the Rifle Team played in hard luck, but this year we hope to come back with the bacon. We feel that we are on the verge of a successful season. The first event of any importance will be the annual match at Tenafly, New jer- sey, where the schools compete. Last year lVheeler got in the first ten, and we expect more this time. There are also the usual P.S.A.L. matches, in which all the New York City teams clash. We also have hopes that there will be an opportunity for an interclass match for the Smith Memorial Trophy. For practice, we have dual matches with other schools, in which we display our marksmanship in a manner very disconcert- ing to the other teams. Well, anyway, were off, and you just watch the trophies come rolling inl D. Sayer. Cross Country The opportunity is here! For four years Richmond Hill has not had a city cham- pionship. In the fall of 1918 the Cross Country Team of Richmond Hill High School carried off the championship of the City of New York, and since then the best we have been able to do in major sports has been the Queens Borough championship. This year has been the most successful yet achieved by the wearers of the Red and Gray. The Basketball Team captured the Queens Borough, the Baseball Team fol- lowed in its steps, and the Tennis Team made it a clean sweep for major sports in Queens. Now the Cross Country Team faces the chance of making a fitting climax by romping home with the highest honors.
