Gossard ran a fine race, losing to his brother in the finish. C. Woodford made the best finish. 4 -.1-.li Osborne would have done better if he had kept on his shoes. Thomas ranwell the greater part of the way, but lacked Msteamv for the last quarter-mile. I . A Blocher-well, he finished. Spencer ran well for two miles and then dropped out 3 but Spencer ha.d been sick and was in no condition to run. ill- Gossard got a cup 5 all the boys got an appetite. ' ...iii PROSPECTS From the results of the cross-country run it looks as though Westport should have a good track team in the spring, especially in the running line. The base-ball prospects are not excep- tionally bright at present with only one of our champion team as a nucleus for the team of 'O'7. But if everyone who can hit the side of a barn will come out for practice in the spring a fairly good team will be worked up. We donit expect to capture the pennant, but it 's the unex- pected that happens. A word may be said of our gymnasium which will be in the new building. It will be, one of the best gymnasiums west of the Mississippi. There will be shower baths, separate lo-ckers, a line basket-ball court and the best apparatus which can be obtained. ' THE CHRISTMAS Altho-ugh The Herald goes to press befo-re the Christmas entertainment is given, one of our reporters, who was per- mitted vto be present at one of 'the last rehearsals, feels very confident that he can predict great success for -the plays on account of the ability ofthe members o-f the casts. T They have shown great interest in their work, and we know that they feel well repaid for the time and attention they have given to this annual entertain- ment. ' - To Miss Nardin and to Mr. Shouse is due a great deal of credit for conducting the rehearsals. R ENTERTAINMENT. The programme and cast of characters follow: , , V , PART ONE.

Early in the term a meeting of all the boys interested in athletics wa.s called in the Study Hall. At this meeting Mr. Hull proposed a new game of foot--ball which should embody all the best features of both the association and the American Rugby game. The game was not taken up, however, because of the lack of a grid- iron. When the boys found that there would be no foot-ball they turned to the basket- ball court, and every afternoon for tnree or four weeks one might have seen twelve or fifteen boys working off their superflu- ous energy by hard practice. Many test games were played and finally the follow- ing -team was chosen to represent the school: Grover Carl fCaptainj .. . . ..C' Louis Downs.. .. .. .. . ...bf Frank Sherrill. . . . . . . . .F William Craddock. . . . . . .G Walter Warren.. .. .. .. .. ..G On November '7 our boys just showed some other Missourians by the trining score of 22 to 13. The other Missourians were five young fellows from Lee,s Sum- mit.' The Lee's Summit boys displayed far better team work than we did, but could not throw baskets. If our boys had used mio-re team work the seo-re 'would have been better-looking. I The second ga.me was what is called a walkaway, with the Western Dental Col- lege doing most of the walking. The score was 56 to 5. Be not severe with the boys, however, they played a good game when one considers that the West- ern Dental College team belongs to the university class. On Saturday, December 1, the team went to Lee's Summit and took their med- icine like men, the score was 57 to 22. The team has been greatly handicapped this year in having no place to practice, the annexes being moved on the court. THE CROSS COUNTRY RUN. Despite the bad weather, on Thurs- day, November 29, seven boys started from Forest Hill Cemetery on the first annual cross country run. The course was from Forest Hill Cemetery to Thirty-ninth and Gillham Road, a distance of four miles. Charles Gossard won the race, making the distance in 26 minutes. All the boys did well, as the last one to finish arrived with- in 29 minutes after starting. The roads were very poor, the mud in some places . J -1 v k 5, ., , -.. , . ..... . . .i.... :..-...rig -.
