16 THE ECHO Fred M cConnell, as coach. We won one game and lost one. Next fall will be the open season for this sport. Last but not least, comes the “Rooting Section.” Everyone can get be- hind the yell-leader and “boost.” Don't be a dead-head! GIRLS ATHLETICS The girls have been very successful during the past term, and with the new material among the Freshmen, will in all probability be more successful during the coming semester. Two games were played with Sebastopol during the past month, Decem- ber. The first game resulted in a score of 16 to 4 in favor of Santa Rosa, and the second, which was played on December 22, ended with a score of 10 to 7 in our favor. In each succeeding game with Sebastopol, the Sebastopol girls made a better showing, and the future games that will be played between S. R. H. S. and A. C. H. S. will undoubtedly be very exciting, and our girls will have to play their best in order to win. On December 15 a game was played with St. Helena, on their own floor. This game made the S. R. H. S. team the champion team of the S. N.S. C. A. L., and also gave them the cup which is the first won by the girls’ team. It is hoped they will win it the three times required to keep it permanently The score was 19 to 15. If the I reshmen wish to help the girls keep their excellent record, they must come out and practice at the hall, and we will keep the championship and the cup. A splendid donation has been made by an admirer of the basketball team to the members of the girls’ team of this school. It consists of eight orange and black sweaters, a gift which is greatly appreciated not only by the posses- sors of the same, but by the whole school. ,

= BOYS’ ATHLETICS Another school term has commenced and a lot of new material is in the school. The “husky Freshmen” will no doubt do their best for the honor of Santa Rosa High School. Now, Freshmen, that you are in the High School, you want to make something out of yourselves in athletics as well as in your studies. There are many branches to choose from: track, basketball, football and baseball. We especially urge every boy in school, both “big” and “little,” to try for the track team. The track season will soon commence, and with Mr. Steele as coach, we expect to have a winning team in the field. We lost our captain, Will Lambert, by graduation, and will feel his loss keenly. Of last year’s team we have E. Wilson, A. Bettini, C. Clark, L. Chap- man, R. Miller, R. Slyter, Don Cameron, J. Coon, V. King, C. Gore, F. Ped- ersen, F, Argyle and N. Larimer. We certainly are glad to have Ben Drake with us again, because he is a “booster” of all athletics and will strengthen the track team by throwing the hammer, Lawrence Chapman deserves special mention for his grit. Last fall when he returned to school he was under the doctor’s care. He was needed badly and responded to the call and did his best. We sincerely hope he will be in condition this spring. If he be, it is a safe bet that he will not be beaten by any man on the coast. The most promising first-term men are: Harry Trembley, Roger O’Con- nor, George Powers, Harry Lindstein, Ernest Bacigalupi and John Hattie. Our team will be chosen by fair try-outs, so that every one will have a chance. Perhaps you will not make the big team at first, but by your trying you give competition to those that do, and in due time you will be successful. By the time this paper reaches you the basketball season will be finished, and we wish to thank every one who supported us. We have won three games and lost one. The baseball season will not open until the latter part of the term. Rugby football was adopted this year, due to the untiring efforts of Mr.

This department has been crowded with journals to be ,criticised in this issue, and should any be neglected, do not get angry, for yours will appear in the next issue. Just criticism will be dealt to all exchanges during the semester. Argus, Tulare, Cal.: Your journal gives you great credit as a school. “The Price of Fame” is an excellent story. “Why Domestic Science Should Be Taught in the Schools” is a good article. Your cuts are also good. The Wilmerding Life, San Francisco, Cal.: You are an excellent produc- tion of a school paper. Few exchanges can be read from cover to cover as was vour Christmas issue. “The Sin of Pegralcinus” is good, as are “W hile Phantoms Glide,” and “The Heart of a Dog.” “Lumber from Forest to Fac- tory” is an excellent article. You have a “crackerjack” to write your editor- ials. You have a good Exchange department. You should have a few more jokes. Tattler, Milwaukee, Wis.: Your arrangement is not of the best. “The Tale of Regiment 44” is a good story. “The Experiences of an Advertising Agent” is too true to print. “A Tandem Adventure in Montana” is good, but why continue stories? Give your exchange department more space. Olla Podrida, Berkeley, Cal.: Where is your table of contents? You cer- tainly show football spirit, as well as athletics in general. Your exchange department is well written. Your josh department is large, but are they all original ? The Bulletin, Steubenville, Ohio (November and December): You seem to have grown since your last issues. Your stories are good. The Racquet, Portland, Me.: Your literary section could be improved. You seem to lack school spirit along that line. A contest in that line some- times promotes interest. You have many exchanges, but criticise only five. Your other departments are good. The Prospector, Wardmer, Idaho (November and December): You show some improvement in both your issues, but your arrangement can still be improved. Your cover series should be of interest to all; they are surely proving interesting to date. Where is your table of contents? We thank you for your compliment given up in your December number and hope we will be able to return it.
