Cheney, Halsey, Tayfor, VanHouten QmO (Track The hoys in U. FL S. Interested in track began their long and unceasing practice on March 16. As there was some very good material Coach Pitts looked for a very good season. Tho weather was not very good for track, but the boys showed their interest by going on with their workouts disregarding the unfavorable conditions. The Class Meet was staged April 3, when some very good time was made. The Seniors were victorious by a large margin, winning eight first places, besides their share of seconds and thirds. U. H. S. and L. H. S. met on the turf in La Grande on April 11th. The weather conditions were bad, but nevertheless the boys from Union made a very good showing with four first places: Merle Fugit, shot and discus; Louis May, 440 yard dash; Floyd Baxter, 880 yard dash. The next meet was at Baker on April 25th. As conditions were favorable very fast time was made. Union's first places were as follows: Noy Cox, broad Jump; Merle Fugit, shot and discus; Louis May. 440 yard dash; -Floyd Baxter, 880 yard run. The County meet was held in Union May 2nd. Fugit and May won their usual first places for Union—discus, shot and 440 yard dash. Union took second place in the County. The Eastern Oregon Track Meet was held in La Grande May 9th. Union’s first places were: Merle Fugit, shot; Floyd Baxter, 880 yard run. Union netted 21 points, giving us third place in Eastern Oregon.

Miller, Skiff QmO (furls’ Jhtluun Baseball Indoor Baseball season opened with a same between the local girls and the Enterprise girls on our home floor. The Enterprise girls proved to be too fast and the game ended with the score 24-6 in favor of Enterprise. Our girls had only had one week's practice and were therefore handicapped as the Enterprise girls had had several weeks of practice. A return game was played the next week at Enterprise. We were determined to win this game, but although we played hard, we were defeated 26-17. The hall where we played was so much smaller than we had been used to, and the line-up had to be changed at the last moment because two of the players were unable to make this trip over to Enterprise. These objects, and not the girls playing, we believe to be the reason for the loss of the game. The following week we played at Wallowa, although we had two defeats to our credit and Wallowa had won a game from Enterprise, we did not give up hope of winning. But the Wallowa team kept a large lead on us until the last few minutes, then we showed our real stuff by running the score up to 26-24 in our favor. The score stood thus at the end of the eighth inning. The last inning the Wallowa girls rallied and won the game with the score of 37-26. The next game was a return game from Wallowa and the last game of the season. It was a very close and exciting game, and was somewhat in our favor. A few moments later, it was found that a mistake was made in scoring and the game was a tie. The time was played off and Wallowa was victor. Although we did not win any of the games, the season was quite successful, because it is fully believed that we would have won if certain objects that were unavoidable had not turned up. Page Sixteen
