THE PORCUPINE 17 On Wednesday, November 10, the discussion on the bill pertaining to “Immigration,” was opened for debate and was warmly contested. Those speaking in favor of the measure were Roy Hitchcock, Edwin Zuner and Carl Schaupp; against the bill, Carl Rathbone, Chas. Thomp- son. The debate was carried over to the next session, which took place Thursday, November 18. Roy Alex- ander, the introducer of the bill, accepted an amendment by Schaupp as a part of the main bill. The debate follow- ing was very spirited, all the time being fully occupied. At 4 o’clock a vote was taken and the bill was carried. Those speaking in favor of the bill were Edwin Abeel. Roy Alexander, Fred McConnell and Schaupp, and those against were John Ahl, Chas. Thompson and Nathallie Hamden. — o— Athletics On Saturday, September 22nd, Oakland won from us in the semi-finals of the A. A. 8S. She won not so much on her own merit as owing to two things. First our own lack of proper coaching; second, her dirty playing. The relentless and uncalled for siugging of the Oakland team against men who were practically beaten caused much un- favorable comment. We were accompanied by several of our lady teachers, besides others and they say that pro- fanity was very noticeable among the O. H. S8. rooters. While we don’t run a Sunday school, we can at least use decent language at times—especially if we win. Mackenzie, as usual, played his star game and material- ly aided the successful stopping of plays. Wilson played Pl.

16 THE PORCUPINE Crescent, can’t you introduce a little more fun into your pages? Humor like that of the “Parody on the One Hoss Shay,” is a very valuable element in the com- position of as substantial a magazine as yours. Despite the fact that the greater part of the Polytech- nic is devoted to departments, it is not uninteresting. The article on the South Sea Islands is written in an en- tertaining manner and is instructive as well. There are a couple of points that should be taken into consideration by exchauge editors when making their criticisms. The most important is that it is impossible at the same time to attain to any degree of literary purity and please the majority of the readers upon whom we are dependent for our existence. The other is that the editors are not. entirely responsible for the make up of the paper. They have to deal with a variable quantity in the printing office. i Ss Congress On the afternoon of Friday, November 4, our High School Congress was reorganized with our principal, Mr. Cox in the chair. Adela Dickson was chosen clerk of the house and Elisworth Mitchell fills the position of assist- ant. Four bills were introduced and read. Bills I and IT, re- ferring to a “Restriction of Immigration,” and to “Giving Aid to Japan in her Present War,” were advanced to a second reading, Bill No. I, being made a special order for the next sesion.

18 THE PORCUPINE hard and was a tower of strength. Gritty little Hitchy played on with a broken thumb. He was in every play. During the first half O. H. S. scored once and three times during the second half, wheri she played Broth yi A very friendly feeling exists toward the O. H. 8. track team and we hope that this will help us to overlook the football team’s fault. Nearly every man was hurt some. Mackenzie received a broken shoulder. Hitchcock a broken thumb and Wil- son severe internal injuries. Every injury of consequence was the direct result of “dirty” playing. The marks of someone’s “corks” were visible on Mac’s shoulder for a week after. We have two games in view, one with Petaluma at Sebastopol, with excursions on the electric railroad, and the other with the California School for the Deaf in Santa Rosa on Thanksgiving Day. The latter game has been looked forward to for a year and should be a dandy. Our team should be in shape by that day and will give the boys from Berkeley a good rub. Undoubtedly it will be great. ¢ Basket Bali A very exciting basket ball game was played between the Girls’ High School team and the Santa Rosa High School team in San Francisco November 12th. The teams were so evenly matched that the game was intensely inter- esting to the spectators, as well as to the players. The San- ta Rosa line up was as follows: Mamie Pearce, Olive Dickson, Dorothy Shelton, goalers; Mamie Rayder, Leone Safley, Ruth Overman, centers; Abbey Clary, Mabel Cc. M.
