This year and the preceding years will always be nmong our many happy memori,:s.

Ahhouish we do not fully >1p1>reciatc the importance of the won derful opportunity given UII in our high school education, now it will be realized more and more Ill our years in life lengthen. In looking back we find a few out,itanding evenll in the life of our clan. The springing of our senior rings and the clan play were two mile1tone1 in our senior year. The springing of the ring, was a novelty, Each senior who bought a ring wore it the fint day of school in September, 1923. No excitement occurred for which our principal nnd teacher,i mu,it ,iurely have been grntcful. The Mollusc, our class play, was exceedingly good. Although only four students of the class mnde up the cast, the whole clau helped in making the play a ,iuccess.

Receiving a true conception of life and retHining it, i1 the worth while feature of our school life. Many times the problem, of ,ichool have been hard, but. having overcome them by our1elve1 and with the help of our leachera. we are ready for those that will meet UI at the nel<t turn of the road. We sincerely hope thnt college will prove to be a continuation of the happy ""periences and friendships found in high school.

Wi).r Arrnoriat.rb �tubmts When the Associated Students of Claremont High School faced the new year of '23-'24, they could see very little prospect of honou or victories for C. H. S. The loss of the athletes of '23 w,u seriously felt, and although there were many new 1tudenls they could not take the places of those who graduated. As a result practically everyone came out and did his best in at least one activity. This year, for probably the fiut time in the history of the school, the under classmen turned out and fought for places at every opportunity. We started the year in a ve-ry good financial condition, with a .small amount of money to our credit instead of a deficit as there has been at times in the past. A!lan Taylor has capably managed the affairs of the Student Body and hall "ecured enough mon"y to finance all the activitiell. This year the School Board greatly helped us by buying some of our football and baseball equipment. Thill generosity was much appre ciated and we take this opportunity of expreuing to the board members our llincere thanks. In athletics, although we did not win as many championships as we have in the past we were very successful. The football team under the direction of Coach Vaile and the basketball team under Coach Livinll'_Slon made very creditable Ahowingll in our league. Coach Strehle's track team maintained the old c�stom of winning their cham pionship for C. H. S. ln Girl's Ba....ebal\, Orval Jal\ini,:s, coached a team that any school would be proud of. .Coach Cole" s baseball team WM certninly an honor to Clarr.monl and fou11;ht for victorv to the very la,t. A1 this i1 written, tennis remains to be played, and according to fl all indications. we shall have ;nother cup. In dramatic,, through the ··Three \'fise Fools"' and the S.,nior pluy "The Mollusc," we upheld if not belter.,d th" high standard es tablished in the past. The adoption by the Student Body of an Honor Scholarship Society wa1 one of the most important, if not the most important, forward step taken this _year by Claremont High School. The honor society has been formed in many of the hi!,!h 11chool1 of the state, and in every instance seems to have proven a re1;1] incentive not only to better scholarship but to an increased interest on the part of studenh in all school activi ties. We hope and believe thnt thi1 will prove true in Claremont High School and we !ook forward to the future with confident anticipation. We who are leaving, wish for you all-faculty, officers, and 1tudent body member-the grea!esl succeu as you carry forward to greater and to finer victories '"the Red and the Grey."'

The Girla' League •erve1 to unite all the girl• in the High School. for in it we are bound together to work for the be1t intere1b of the 1chool and to render friendly and helpful •ervice to other, a, op· portunity may be found. At our monthly meeting, we hl!, ve been privileged to li,ten to intere■ting and worthwhile 1peaken; who have presented to ua con ditions at home and abroad, have discuued topic• of especial interest to girl.. and have explained to u1 the vocation, opened to women. Two good a11emblie1 have been (urni1hed thi• year by the League. At the 6nt one Miu Carolyn Loring gave a mo1t intere1t.ing account of the 1tudent work at the Grenfell Minion on the Labrador Coa•t. The second one wa1 a ..pay asaembly.'· given by Katherine McCully and her efficient Welfare Committee for the benefit of the Orthopaedic Hospital in Los Angele•. It consisted of a short program of exeellent mu1ieal numbers followed by a very elever ,hadow play, ..The Egyptian Cat.'' The receipts were very gratifying and were used to help pur cha1e a braee for one of the crippled children. The Welfare Committee hae also made thirty quarts of marmalade for the sick soldiers at Sawtelle. Thi■• together with bunehe1 of violet, sent by the League, was greatly appreciated in the hospilal ward. Marjorie Armstrong's Activities Committee has •erved to the variou• athletie team• a;enerou1 •upper■• which have been greatly en joyed and much appreciated. They al•o served a deliciou• menu to the Faculty and Student Execuive Committee who were Mr. Covell'■ e;ue•ts at luncheon at which the question of an honor 1cholarship •o ciety in Claremont High School was di,cussed. The League wa1 repre1ented at the San Oie1,1;0 Convention by Pre,ident Eli:ta.beth Shine. Bernice Waller and Mi11 Willow1, while Irene Ingham and Winifred Babcock represented u• at the Pomona College Woman's Day. The activities of the year were elo1ed by a merry party planned by Betty Hodson and her Soeial Comminec. To Miu Willows, whose unfailing interest and encouragement have contributed so largely to the 1uccesa of the League, we express our sincere appreciation. Pagr Tn·e11t_,·-ri..,1it

This is the fourth year that Claremont has tried to have a school paper. In 1920, the Clare-Hi made its first appearance in a mimeo graphed form. The next two years it was con,iderably improved in spite of rather adverse conditions. Under the exceptionally capable management of Kenneth Williamson in 1922, the paper had its best year. Last year it was passed on to John Bryden with the very highest hopes. The standard set the previous year had evidently been too high for last year and the continual attempt to make the paper larger seemed to tell on ih finances severely. The Student Body was not back of the paper with any real enthU.aiasm and after one iuue had been put forth the Clare-Hi wa1 dropped for the year ;For the above reason the staff this year was inclined to be very •cautious about the matter and it was not until late in the first semester that it was considered feaaable to try to put it out. A number of ways of financing the paper were diacuued, and much advice from former editors had to be sought since the staff was inexperienced in the methods of newapaper work. In order to insure support of the stu dents the proposition of including the Clare-Hi subscription, Annual and Athletic ticket together with the usual Student Body duea was put up. This was paued and has been a marked help. A• was found out last year, the old custom of having food sales was impractical because of the Cafeteria. The paper was cut down in si:ee from the previous year jl.nd more advertising put in. The dumber of iuuea was smaller both because of the late start and the financial difficulties. Financially the paper will come out on top this year. In the future. if the Clare Hi is continued. I believe that it 1hould be connected with the English Department. Thia would not only in sure a higher standard, but V:ould alao help in selecting reporters and to no small extent in collecting news. Thi, last mentioned item is one that has been a constant thorn in the side of editors. It haa caused a continual struggle to put out each inue 1rnd often the paper has not been gotten out on scheduled time. In reviewing this year I feel that an experiment ha, been succeu fully carried out. The Clare Hi can be put out and macle a succeu, financially, even though but fifty per cent of the students aubacrib• Thia year ha, not brought forth 8. great paper but it has Proved that a good one is poaaible in the Future. The future of the Clare Hi dependa mainly on the future editora and their ,taffs. The ,tudent body will back and appreciate a paper that comes out regularly, eve"n though it may be small. The 1tudenh - this year have supported the Clare Hi well. 1 wish to thank the Stu dent Body for their appreciation of what little the Clare Hi has done this year, and the staff for their earnest endeavora to make the paper a good one.

Delta Lambda is three ye,.ns old and of growing impo rtance in school affairs. It was organized primarily to cr eate a greater interest among the boys of the school in public address. We have done much toward this end. Memben of Delta Lambda have gone from the school to take po1ition of leadership in colleges and in larger organizations. They have won honon in public speaking, writing, and in dramatic■• Much has been accomplished in the pa,t but we sincerely hope that the future will 1ee g reater hopes realized.

DRffIDHfillfi� Claremont's prt!11ligc in the Hig-h School dramatic world remains sup,.,me. Her reputation has not been impaired in the least degree by thc production gi ven this year. No, we believe she has even added fresh laurels to her fair name and fame, It is not often that a school the size of Claremont High-' can produce such a Cast as that with which the Auociated Students presented the delightful comedy. ""Three Wi,e Fools,'' on the evenini;s of January 11th and 12th. We conct"de they were "wise," though we think they can hardly be called ""fool.s..-these three wonderfully human and lovable "gentle men of the old school."' Their love for and protection of the charming young lady, ldt them as a legacy by her mother, was irresistible, while their frequent differences of opinion prnvided the mirth of the play. The part of crochety yet lovable Theodore Findl11y, banker, played by Stanley Lanon, was one of the most naturally portrayed characters ever given on a High School atage. Dr. Richard Gaunt, by Clarence Wheeler. was as perfect a bit of acting as one could ever hope to ace by an amuteur, and showed his Ion� experience behind the footlighll: while that of Judge Trumbull. by Parkhur1t Brackett, whose ability is conceded, was alao a faithful and very cleverly executed characteri:ca tion of the brave and noble judge, Margaret Waller, as Sidney Fairchild, heroine, who wenl to live with the old gentlemen, was charming and girlishly appealing, and one would have never imagined it was her debut into dramatics. Mn. Saunders, housekeeper for the three old friend,, taken by Katherine McCully, was very well given and �howed her to be very capable, and patient indeed with their whims and foible,. Ben McBurney, aa Gordon Schyler, made n fascinating young nephew of the banker and lover of Miu Fairchild. Last, but not least, of the principal characten, was that of Benja mi n Suratt. ""Benny the Duck," aa he .,..a, "criminally" known. Thia was so well taken by Donald McKenna aa lo be almost uncanny, and we predict a brhi-ht future for him, and we hope and expect to see him in more roles. We also hope he will not take to 1econd-1tory work in the years to come, for he certainly could "'gel away with it:• but i1 too good to be wa!lted there. Minor, though equally well handled parh were those of John Crawshay, father of Sidney, by Allan Taylor; Poole and Clancy, detec tives. by Orval Jailing• and Dick Bell; Gray and Douglas, aervanta, by Lawrence Shaw and Ronald JohnBon: and policeman by Clifton Iverson.

Ruth Shaffer completed the performance by skillfully playing well chosen piano selections beween acts.

This play, so well given, was just one more success for Mi"" Lucile Welch, director, and dramatics instructor for the �chool. She has demonstrated on many occasions her extraordinary ability, and we thank her for her untiring efforts. The management of the play, aside from Miu Welch, included; Donald McKenna, busineBB manager; Allan Taylor and Ronald Johnson, stage managers; James Flagg, electrician; Winifred Babcock, properties; and Virginia Madison, costumes.

What is a Mollusc? If in doubt ask Katherine McCully, she ought to know, for she is was one, not so long ago.

'Twas on the evening of April 4th, wb:en the seniors of Claremont High School gave their annual play, that Katherine became a mollusc and really it also "became'' her. The encyclopedia says a mollusc is one of a '"brnnch of the in vertebrate animal kingdom," and, among numerous other things. that it "often has no distinct head, While a heart is generally present."

Now Katherine, or Mrs. Baxter, let us call her, was not at all like that-she had a head-a very pretty, bright one, and she used it, too but as for a heart-it just wasn't there, until she became jealous, and then-well, then she was no longer a mollusc.

This is the way it all happened. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter were a de voted English couple, the devotion being principally shown by the husband, whom the wife kept busy, in company with Miss Roberts. governess of the Baxter children, in attending to her many wanh. And many they wer7, for she was supposed to � ill, while she was really lazy, too languid to take an interest in anything whatever, except her magazine and her Rowers. This state of affairs had gone on for years, and was exceedingly irksome for the two, who seemed unable to stop it. But one fine day, Tom Kemp, Mrs. Baxter's brother, came horn America for a visit," and straightway undertook to reform hia

•i•t er a nd-then th<'! fun began. Of coun<'! he failed, utterly, and wa, about to give up in de•pair when Mn.

lf Iill�RHRY THE LAST TIE The !,andsome cowboy galloped down the road and her eye• followed him until he rounded a curve over a mile away.

As she was a lover of hosres and could appreciate a good on.,, she longed to mount that handsome steed and feel the almost superhuman life beneath her, and to hear the steady tread of hoofs upon the dusty road. The mare, Gyp$y was her name, was silky black, with a white blaze on her face and four white feet, a beautiful creature, faultless.

Slowly the days were drifting away. Slowly, yet all too soon the time was coming when the handsome cowboy with the green bandana would ship his mount and leave for his old home in Montana.

He had never been friendly. but inwardly she felt that he would have liked to be, though due to financial circum,itance,i he must keep all his love and affection for Gypsy.

The horseman and his beautifu I mare, indeed. nothing could sur pass them! As a rider he was perfect, and as a horse Gypsy wa,i marvelous. Perhaps the young gid loved the cowboy. no one knew. Her friend and companion did know that t",er foremost desire was to ride the cow pony. As time passed on she saw less of the cowboy. Seeming to forget him and entering into new fields with new hopes and aspirations the two slowly drifted- apart, until one Sunday she turned a corner with her car and met him. Just one• glance, but the picture was set in her memory. Never before had they appeared so handsome, yet she felt the last spark of hope Ricker and die. A week later brought news of his departure for Montana.

The years drifted by. The girl became a famous writer and her life long dream of a ten-thousand acre horse and caftle ranch was ful filled. Throughout her experiences she had met many noted people, but the cowboy was never forgotten. Yes. she had the ranch but one dream, one wish, wished so many years ago, was not fulfilled. She had never ridden Gypsy.

While out riding one day near her new range. she met a lad leading an old broken-down horse up the road. She stopped beneath

From within came queer sound, "and utterancea and the animals of this cage were not ordinary animala but ethereal" and phantasmagoria: appearing, vanishing, now large, now small, ugly, beauiful, more fantastic than the wildest dreama of a vivid imagination. On a pedeatal in the center of the cage I aaw a figure of exceed ing beauty dancing and swaying to a music that waa felt rather than hear"d. In the background a 1hadow began to evolve, growing larger and larger, bending and twiating; and coming ever nearer to the pedestal. all the while taking the form of a huge beast. Long, claw like fingers hovered and quivered about the swaying figure, then sud denly descended and darkness enveloped the whole acene. The music cea1ed !

A FANTASY In which is shown that one does not always say what he means, or mean what he aays. Thi, is either a comedy or tragedy depending quite ii.ltogether on what the reader has had for dinner. But it really makes no difference. A thorn by any other name would prick as deep. So let us proceed without further ado to our narrative.

Scene I. Any home. The man (the average tired buainen man) is settling him1elf down with his slippen and.pipe. and the Woman'• Home Com panion for a bliuful evening of rest. Perhaps there i1 the slightest buzz and murmur of disco ntent in your brain at that Woman's Home Companion. Be assured that in the 1eclusion of his own home that is the choice of this man ; for we must remember that this is the average tired business man. He likes it for two reasons: 1. His tastes natur ally run to those simperi ng love stories. 2. They are 10 miraculously written that he may catch delightful little cal napa and awakening take up the story just a nywhere without losi ng even the smalle1t por· tion of the gist of the tale. But here I've been wandering again. Back lo the story. Enter a young man (auitor to the tired bu1ine111 man's daughter). He rushe1 nervously in and haha in the exact middle of the room just a:11 one would if given a room to run into. a pu1h. and con1iderable embarranment, all in one dose. Soon he takes a seat be1ide the older man, but still silence reigns. Now silence may be golden, but this particular 1i\ence was plated very. very. thinly indeed. The edges seemed to 1tick through the thin places and protrude every where. They naturally reach the older man, who becomes painfully aware of the conditions (also of the condition that he is being kept from the blissful evening which promised). So he speaks up. "Pa" Kidwell:

"Well my boy. what is it? ..

Paul (for that ia the young man'• name): "Er-eh-(enlighten edly) why, good evening." (Triumphantly subside,). "Pa": (taking his pipe from hia mouth long enough to grunt dramatically) •·O-ughl"' (translation: 0 Lordi) Paul: (After a telling silence is prodded on by certain my1terious signal, from the front window). "Eh-A·hem-My income,-well, er, you know: to tell the truth is, although my position is not so good now, I have great chance for advan,;,ement." (Etc.• as long as the reader wishes to follow). (Finally he breaks out). "Have I any chance, really, have D" "Pa" (soothingly and understandingly): "My boy, I have long been aware of your ambition and you know if you want a thing badly enough you will be sure to get it-." Now our 1cene fade1 and we proceed toScene II.

Earth sleeps, and night keeps silently her watch. -HAZEL WI- IEELER.

CONTRAST

Winter it was! The cold bleak winds whistled around the corner of the old church as the six strong men passed down the line of bare headed mourners with their lifeless burden. Slowly the long line of hacks filed up over the hill to the graveyard '"Ashes to ashes," said the clergyman. "and dust to dust." The tears came unchecked from the bereaved gathering as s9ovelful after shovelful of cold �ar 1 clay was thrown in upon the bo,c. Above could be heard the s1ghmg of the trees and, down from the mighty oak came a golden leaf-its only one-to grace the resting place of the �ortal dead.

Autumn I The tuneful ditties of the harvesters could be heard as they gathered the grain. The brightly colored leaves are dancing on the breeze as the woodmen shoulder their axes and make for the woods. With a happy tune on his lips the s trongest of them all Rexes his mighty muscles and sinks his blade into the heart of a k;ng of the fore8t. Chip follows chip until finally with a moan and cra8h the great tree falls lo its doom. A cheerful shout arises from the men and whistling and singing they proceed to cul it limb from limb and fiber from fiber Strange! this thing called man.

THE GARDEN OF !REM

He wa11 mounted in the ancient Morisco fas hion on a black Arab of powerful frame. The trapping s of his richly caparisoned steed were dulled by the dust of a desert journey. The rider was encased in bur nished brass. The pennant of his lance drooped. A scimitar, the hilt of which was set with rubies and a la_fge diamond, hung at his side. A formidable bow and quiver, and hii, steel helmet were slung from his saddle, while a rich turban warded off the rays of the sun The ensign on hi11 shield proclaimed him a royal messenger of Saladin As he rode on in the intense heat, he looked with longing at the faint mirage of an oasis, and wished that the sun would hasten its selling or that al lea s t s ome shaded spr1ng would come into view

As the sun sank lower and no oasis appeared, he grew hungry and tired, and wi shed that the day would end. While he was alone with his thoughts the parting words of the sage. Aben Ben Alamid, recurred to him· "Thou hast, not knowing thou ha st it, a tali sman of great power. Use it to advantage when thou shalt ride over en chanted ground!" Thus had the sage spoken two days ago. He knew this to be "enchanted ground,'' but what was that talisman i And ju st what was its mystic power?-He tried to dis mi ss such thoughts, but the heat wearied him, and the saying of the magician kept passing through his mind. Then he thought of his missCon As the sun sank

,lowly beneath the horizon, he dropped the rein, and, tru1ting to the instin ct of his Arab to le ad them to water, gave himself to his thoughts. A great silver city lay before himl Its thou,and ,lender minarets and towera, surmou nted with gold crescents, outlined themselves against the pale blue sky. The mass of silver, a gem in the heart of the desert, glitte red in the moonlight ae the knight rode up to a massive portal only to find its great silver gate closed. He dismounted and drew his scimitar to use it as a knocker. No sooner had he touched the portal with it than the gate disappeared, and he stepped into the city. "So this:· thought he "'is the talisman!"' And he looked at the glowing rubie1 on the hilt of 1he glittering blade. Now he walked as in a dream. Here were great halls with ara be1que1 and gold fretwork, ornament ed with precious stone1. Pale alabaster pillars supported the dome 1, and marble statues watched the knight. Fountains of whitest marble, elegantly shaped, played perfume in the hal\1. Rich bowen were hun� with richer 1ilk1. Inscriptions done in silver ornamented the walls. The richness, the elegance, the art and the beauty benumbed the senses of the knight as he wandered on. In the gardens, aurrounded by corridors, were rare flowers and fruit trees, with fountains and marble retre ah among them. Every thing was in bloom. The pale moo n gave a aupreme radia nce to theae gardens and towen. An etherial almoaphere, an elusive fragrance, hovered about these hall1. No lamps could be seen, yet an azure light filled them all. Everywhere waa silence. No wind rustled among the le aves; the fountain, made no sound-he wandered on. In the cent er of the city wa, a hall larger than the re at. A fea1t was set. A high throne of delicately carved alaba1ter atood at one end of the hall. with a gilded canopy above it, The whole hall was hung with silk, and 1atin1, and divan� and ottom8nl of the rare st 1tuff1 his eyes had ,:'er beheld were arranged about the richly laden board. The veasc:ls were of ailver, studded with rubic, in ornamental deaigns. On the co,tly throne lay a crown of 8old aet with precious ,tonea-aapphires and diamonds, Fountains played around the hall. Two cense ra of silver, in which burned rare and fragrant incenee, stood on either aide of the throne. A rose ate light filled thia hall; but the ailence of en chantment reigned here too. As the knight walked, en tranced, he accidentally struck the hilt o f hi, scimilllr against the 8lab,uter table-in a twinkling the 1cene changed. He 1aw the king ,itting at his throne, and the nobles repoaing 81 the feaat. All were robed in costly garment,, but all were pale as death. Guards in enam• elled armor watched about the hall, and guarded the 8pproaches. But for a moment beheld he this, then came a thunderclap, and he Wa! borne away by an, irre1i1tib!e force-. The �teed was 1tanding by a desert spring, drinking deeply, when the knight awoke, as from a trance. "The Carden of lreml" he faintll murmured as he dismounted in the moonlight. -ALBERT JAGNOW.

LAWRENCE Q. FERRIS No one would expect to find as qu eer a man as Lawr ence Q, Ferris, Even that Q. which st ood for no one knew what, se emed to altogethe r fit him. He was somewhat of a spiritualist, and indee d his ungainly miashapen figure see med to fit his interests No one would expect to find as queer a man-but if he knew Ferris he knew another equally miashapen, unearthly, and spiritualistic. For Howard Middleton and he were inseparable. J was about to say inse parable friends, but that would be misl e ading ais th ey we re continually at outs on interpretations of supernatural afl:airs. The dripping Londo n fog through which they walke d, befor e meeting in a secluded corner of the club to which each belonged, might be supposed to have a rather morbid effect on th em, but th e fog could hardly b e blamed for the great regularity with which they discussed one theme. Their chi ef ground for discussion lay in whether the human soul. after de ath, cou.ld return and give some s;gn of its pres<:hce. Argum<:nh continued far into the night and their voices rose higher and higher until they were almost shrieking at each other. After this h<ld occurred several times and each had b ee n convinced of the other's imbecility, stubbornn ess, and general insanity, they agreed for the first time in experience-they agreed, I say, that whichever died first should try with all his power to communicate with the yet living member of this strangest of duos. Some time late r Ferris was found dead in his lodgings-murdered in fact-found strangl ed int o lif e lessness, body contorted terribly, fac e bloated to reddish purple. eyes starting fro m their sockets. Seemingly ideal conditions for a ghastly return if we are to believe the current tales concerning ghosts Middleton had first been allured to spiritualistic research by his very horror of ghosts, such as some people have of snakes. The aversion abhorrence, nausea ,hall I say. were the very factors which P11g,· Forty-tlirN

So it wa1 through no 11ense of security that Middleton re,olutely thrust the idea of his agreement away from him. He even kepi away from hi, dub for two days, not being able to view Ferri.. late haunt without con,iderable queazineu.

Soon, nevertheless, that hypnotic attraction began to function and Middleton ,eemed irre1i11tibly impelled to vi1it the club. That night found him there, talking to acquaintances, perhaps a little irrelevantly, ever-so-often casting wild glance• around in search of the miuing penonality. A, the time approched when Ferri, u11ually appeared Middleton grew correspondingly nen·ous and ten,e.

At last the time waa at h1:1nd. Middleton wa1 in hi1 old po1ition talking with " man, Or at leiut that i11 what Middleton thought he was doing. Just how in1ane hit talk•wa1 i1 not known, but, however m�iacal. it cea1ed when his wandering glance became riveted on the curtain,. The entrance through which Ferri, generally entered opened a11 if with a passing wind, and clo1ed again behind such a form as could belong to only one penon, Lawrence Q. Ferris!

Everything seemed perfectly natural to Middleton"• ,utounded brain. It Wtll ju11t as it had been before many night.. When hi, i,:lauy 1tare finally focu1ed itaelf, howecver, he 1aw that the thing"s face or what had been it"s face, wa11 mottled and blotched with purple. The pained and 11tony look wa, po11itively repul1ive, Still, Middleton could hardly draw hia eyea away from him to sec what effect wa• shown by the other people. Not one penon gave even the alighteat sign of the ,hock which Middleton felt and he waa now a1111ailed by the terrible belief that only he aaw the apparition which had entered so quietly, Hi, brain reeled and throbbed wilh the regularity o f a machine-wa1 he mad} Thoughts came alowly-what waa it that he had just aaid lo him11elf-"which had entered so quietly-·· ah, that was it, the other people had not noticed ii yet. Back again hi, gaze went to the creature which atood, a dark blotch against the curtains. It seemed no longer an apparition but grim reality. But come, this was getting worse-was he the only one who 1aw the thing? Oh, what damnable torlurel If the thing wa11 not real, then he wa1 going mad; if it was real, then he was mad· already. He turned upon hi, com panion to ,ee if he was aware of any supernatural presence. His friend, however, evidently 1truck with lhe look in his face, a1ked if he would like to be introdu,ced to 11 famous explorer who could probably tell him a few good storie, 81 he had had mllny terrible experiences. Thia WM merely a tactful way to get rid of him, as the companion wa11 rather r.larmed, to tell d,e truth, and afraid of Middleton'• present attitude.

So he took Middleton's arm and led him acroas the room directly loward the 1pectre which in the meantime advanced solemnly. Fanatical hyslerical laughter was all that could have pouibly expreaaed Mid dleton'• feeling at looking over the laughing and gaily gouiping dub membera and at the grave, 11tony-faced creature stalking toward him like I\ Juggernaut.

1Jinntball FOREWORD The football seaaon may not by some be termed 11uccenful, but when it is considered in the light of difficultiea &Jilrmounted rather than of actual accomplishment, it has been indeed a satisfactory one. Although at the close of laet year thing• had looked only 1\ightly foggy I.ls to returning playen, when Captain-elect Coy Sanden, did not return, and when Colladay's mishap in basketball kept him out of football, the champion,hip prospect■ anumed the aepeet of a moonlen night. Only Jallinga, who waa elected captain, Brackett, and McBur ney, of the lettermen, and Bell, Wheeler, and John Weisbrod, from the scrub■, were back. The fi.ut glimmer in the darkness was the securing of "Chick" Vaile, erstwhile Pomona College player, as coach. He 100n had prac• tice on a well e1tebli1hed ba1i1, and was discovering new den every day. A few more p)eyen were induced to come out, and 1crirnmage waa alrno,t a ponibility-that i1, without any defen1ive back field. And right here it should be 1eid that football team, can not be de veloped from eleven men.

T o return to thi, 1eeson. Several good. men were di1covered and developed in A l Wei,brod, our future captaiil, at guard, Oliver et half, Herb Taylor at center, and Al Taylor in the 1Jine, together with Bob Clifton and Leiter Sanden. The end po1ition11 were held down by McBurney and Bell, end were one of the strongest feature,. PRACilCE GAMES After a few weeks' 1trenuou1 practice in fundamentals, the team journeyed over to Garey Junior High for a practice tilt. Although no ,core wa1 kept, several good men were brought to light, and Clare mont pu1hed over one touchdown while keeping her own goal un• croued. On the next night Bonita'• conglomeration, which had beaten Chaffee and ,everal other strong schools, wa1 attacked. The game wa1 close and undecided all through, but was finally won by the lone touchdown made in the fint quarter by Oliver, who 1tarred for our eleven. He intercepted a pau and dodged about half the Bonita team in a ninety-yard run and touchdown. An unfortunate feature of 'this game was his removal toward the last with a broken no1e which co1t him several "".eeks of valuable practice. Several other practice games were played later in th'e 1ea1on. Page Forty-st•iuN

CLAREMONT. 0-COLTON, 25 The aspiring Cl,.remonters jo urneyed' more or less en mnue 10 Collon to encounter in their first game the strongest team in the league. Cl,nemonl played defensively throughout the first half and the game was fairly even. In our defense we were greatly aided by \Vheelcr'• consistently good punting, coupled with sterling work on the part or the ends, who had to contend with a safety man who was nearly an ideal player and would have been a credit to a college team. Colton scored o nce after a mix-up in signals had caused a Claremont man to block his leam-m;:,te s kick. After this had been recovered by Colton, they bucked down the field, and Bussell. their backfield marvel. went over for the single score of the period. Attempt 1<! goal was blocked by Bell. After imbibing a little of Coach Vaile"• nuxated iron during the rest period, our men returned to the field with lots of fight, the entire third quarter being in our favor. The ball was several times within the opponents' ten-yard line only to be lost. Nu1nerous layout panes were attempted. and several conve.rted for long gains In foct, if one of these had been completed it would have me;,nt a touchdown and with the resultant fight would have go1>e a long Wily toward chang ing the outcome. But there are ifs ;,r:d if�. As it was, the line, which had borne the brunl of the conies!. weakened in the fourth quarter, and after u Rukey run by Buuell. the team'• spirit deserted it. Before the final whistle blew the score stood 2) to 0. Thi• wa1 considered our best game. for. although it was but our first. we held the league-winning Colton team for three quarters. Her bert Taylor acquitted himself with honor at center, and it wa" indeed a blo w to the team when by docto r"s orders he was made ineligible. He waa the star of the d;iy, ,1nd it was our whole line which played most of the gume for us.

CLAREMONT. 6-LA VERNE. 34 h is lo be hoped that next year a beuer schedule can be 11rrnnged. Our two h1ndcsl g;,me• came at the first of the season this year, for on the next Friday our team went lo La Verne to play its seco11d most difficult game. As usui.l. the first half was consumed by us in defensive plav. with this difference from the preceding game, that it w1u the huckfield ;,nd not the line which shone. For this reason the ball was soon carried across our goal. mainly throui;:h the efforts of Bohn of La Verne. In the second period they again 1cored after havini;: been held for three downs on our five-yard line. A La Verne back fumbled and another of his teammates fell on the ball behind our goal. Claremont received and m;,de good gains for several plays when Bohn of La Verne took the ball from Wheelcr"s arms and ran for an easy touchdown after the referee h1:1d •1:1id '"down."' but n ot blown his whistle. Bohn converted all the i;:ouls. Scorto, end of half; La Verne, 21; Claremo nt. 0. Claremont again took the offensive in the aecond half. The ball was soo n under the shadow of La Verne"s goal posts only to Le lost on

downs. Instead of the e:i<pected punt La Verne pulled off a cross buck, and, aided by the surp.rise, Root ran the length of the field only to be overtaken and knocked outside by the joint efforts of Bell and Wheeler. However, the touchdown was conceded. Thia setback only strengthened our determination to score, and we opened up into a passing attack which took the ball down the field in short order, and a magnificent pass from Jalling1 to Bell took the ball over for Clare mont'• lone tally. Goal failed. One more touchdown for La Verne ended the game. Score: La Verne, 34: Claremont. 6. Bell starred for Claremont, playing a con1i1tently good game, both on defense and offen1e. The main trouble with our team wa1 that every now and then the line would 1uddenly reH:mble a sieve which the other eleven could pour through at will. This is almost always the case when a team has insufficient practice. Claremont showed this weakneH throughout the season. CLAREMONT, 6-CHINO. 6 After 1uffering defeat at the hands of our two strongest opponents we labored hard for the next two we'eks to achieve better teum•work. The effect was seen when we took the field against Chino on the ne:i<l Friday. For the first time in the year the line and the backfield worked together and the re1ulting increase in our offense wa1 marvelou1. We bore the attack to the enemy from the very start for the first time during the 1ea1on. The ball was p>arched down the field in short order by line buck1. On their ten-yard line Chino rallied and held for three downs. A pan from Jallini,:s to Wheeler worked with precision, and this lad romped over the last marker for the fint score of the game. The ettempt at goal was blocked. Score: Claremont, 6; Chino, 0, end of first quarter. Chino tightened up. the whole second quarter being decided\· theirs. No less than _five times they marched down the field until Claremont, on her five-yard line, would stiffen und punt out of dan�er only to have the procedure repeated. The sixth time, however. after being held for two downs, a Chino back slipped through the line for a touchdown, tying the 1core. A tense audience watched Chino"• ball rise in the air seemingly for 'a perfect converaion. It was missed only by inches. Thi1 ended the 1coring for the first half, and indeed for the entire game. In the second half the ball was advanced down the field by long end runs varied with occasional line bucks. only to be 1ent back again when Chino would 1tiften her defense. No: chance for scoring came until the last few minutes of play, when the ball rested on Chino's thirty-yard line. Oliver was given a chance lo drop-kick but miHed. Wheeler then attempted a place kick. but this, too. failed. Chino'• punt was nearly blocked, and the ball went outaide o n the seven-yard line. After one play, however. ell chance for 1coring wa1 cut off by the final whistle. Claremont had outplayed her opponents · of the cleanest and hardest fought games of the season. CLAREMONT, 12-CORONA. 6 Our la..t game waa with Corona. who had tied Chino, and all things pointed toward an even and hard-fought game, especially as we must do without the 1ervice1 of our captain, Orval Jallings, who had hurt hi1 leg in both the La Verne and Chino games. McBurney was 1hifted from hi1 usual place at end to the backfield, and •howed up exceedingly well, particularly on defense. The game started with Corona kicking off. After a few plays Wheeler punted over Corona's goal line. Oliver ran their ensuing punt back for a touchdown. His shifty openfield running and speed stood him in good stead, and he was given wonderful interference by Brack ett. After this goal was m'.ade we evidently felt that we had done

Pa_qi- Forly-ninl'"

enough, for Coronel blocked our attempt to convert and had her own way with things for the re"t of the period,. Score at end of first quar ter: Claremont, 6; Corona, 0, The second quarter found us stiil without fight, and Corona gained almost at will through our line, and when they could not do this, around the end,.. Wheeler"s good punting kept us out of danger, however, 80 the half ended without further scoring.

Our usuai third quarter spurt failed us, and soon after we kicked off Corona had hken the ball down the field for a touchdown. Goal failed. Score: Claremont, 6; Corona, 6. We received and the ball see-sawed up and down the field for the rest of the period. It was Corona·,. ball near the center of the field. They soon punted and the ball rolled down the field to our very goal line. Then Oliver, picking the ball up, succeesfully eluded the entire Corona team for a sensational hundred-yard run to touchdown. In this he wae given almost perfect interference, for after dodging the Corona ends there only remained one man to outrun, as Claremont had gone in for a little intensive blocking practice. Oliver failed to convert goal. As nothing more exciting occurred, the re"t, of the game was spent in speculation as to when the final whistle would blow. The game was featured by much lax play, and there were, by actual count, eight fumbles. Oliver started with his open-field run ning, not only on punts ;but around the end. McBurney, on the de fense was worth half a dozen backfield men. Some mention also should be made of the good playing of Robertson, who replaced Sanders in the third quarter. FINALE

Perhaps the brightest side of footbali is our prospects for next season. Although Captain Jallings, McBurney, Brackett, Bell, Wheeler, Allan Taylor, and Herbert Taylor, leave us, we have left Captain-elect Albert Weisbrod, Bob Clifton, Leeter Sanders, James Oliver and John Weisbrod, from this year's lettermen; Coy Sanders, who would have been captain this year had he been in school; Sam Smith. a star of the first magnitude, who would have been on the team this year had he not been ineligible. He came out this year, anyway, out of pure loyalty to the school. Then there are Robertson, McKenna, Clevenger, Reimers, and several others of this year's scrubs. Such an aggrega tion will have to be tnken seriously into consideration by Colton next year if they expect to retuin tl-e cup. As some great man said, '"We go, but we return!"

Imagine our grief when we found al the beginning of basketball 1ea1on that we had only one letterman, _.Captain Brackett, for by the well known route of graduation we had "Josi four ttellar players in Miuon, Patton, Smith and Ingham. Then addini,: in1ult to injury, or rather injury to insult, we lost tht: st:rvices of Jallings, our only other letterman, when he wa1 hurt in football. Altogether, circumstances 0 ed nt 0 1 t :::;y m:�"t"1: --;: m:�: �.,:•; ':�"� enthusiasm and competition wa,i the re11ult. We accumulated still more exuberance when Mr. Livingston, althcugh swamped with other duties, agreed to coach our team as he had coached at Burbank some time ago, and turned out three championship teams there. McBurney, Wheeler. Clifton and Al Taylor, developed into good forwards, while John Weisbrod generally c,worted in the center position when not re lieved by Taylor. Captain Brackett held down one guard, while Bell, Clihon and sometimes Earton, scrapped it out for the other. As the whole team was woefully inexperienced no lesa than ei i; ht practice games were played besides numerous scrimmages with the lightweights.

LIGHT WEIGHT BASKETBALL Last year saw an innovation i11 the organization 4f a light weight team limited to under one hundred and thirty pounds. It turned out very well in consideration of the fact tha t· it was the fint season. This year, however. found us on a much firme r foundation. Se veral lettermen from last year's te am came out and such team work was developed as made us very strong cuuh:nders for the leagu" champion· ,hip. Th.,n Johnson developed. blood poisoning and all our hopes broke like a bubble. Without ou r b.,at player, which he undoubtedly was, we could no longer work the ball down the field with the same ease as b efore, or r ather we could do this only lo find that the la �t ste p of the play was miss;ng. Time after time McKenna would get the ball at about the free throw line of the opponent and there would be no one running under the basket to shoot the Koal. Thus we lost our fi nt two games. the fi rst by only one point, and the second 16 to 8 to the strong Chino team. Then we b eat La Verne, 11 to S, in the first light weight game Claremont had ever won. In our last game we met Colton, the le ai;rue winners. '"Bud'" Lichty wa8 out with a cut fingtr and Oliver took his pla ce. This was not as bad as it seem ed as Oliver was a last ye ar's letterma n, but he was out of practice and had not worked with the present team �ufficiently. So, although we held Colton to one basket in the fi rst half, they won by sending in a tall c enter in the second half. We admit that th ey are good. but if we had only h ad "Ronnyl'" W ell, the re i, always next ye ar.

l'w1,·l·ifry-lhr,·('

We now changed our 1hoe1 to 1pike1, but kepl the abbreviated co1tume. One of the mo1t beautiful cup, ever given w1u put up for the winner of the league in track, and Claremont decided ,he mu1t have it. Be,ide1, thi, non-champion,hip 1tuff waa becoming monotonÂ oue 11nd if we were to live up to our record of former yean we mu1l win track. Under the tutelage of Bob Strehle, a one-time world', record holder in the low hurdle,, who, although he wa. coaching at the college, gladly gave hi, time grati1, our boy, faithfully worked out every night at the college. The rain which had been bothenome in other 1ea1on1 kindly forgot Claremont for a time and we worked into very good form. Our fint intenchola1tic meet wa1 with Bonita on February 27. We eaaily won, 68 to 4S, although the meet aeemed undecided for the lint half. We took fiut place in almost every event but Bonita took enough seconds 11nd thirda to keep up until towards the last, when we took II few seconds and thirds for ourselves. Wheeler was high point man with fir.ta in both ,prints and second in the broad jump. He was beaten in this event by Oliver, who leaped 20 feet one-half inch. Thiâ–

P11yr fifty-four

was 'ln e,i;ceedingly good early season jump, and was far enough to have taken first in either of the league meets of the two previous years. The only other really good performance was contributed by Colladay who toned the beebee forty feet for a first in the 1hot put. Clark ran a plucky race in the mile and copped second by a ttrong sprint at the finish. We next visited Citrus for the usual practice meet. Chaffey also joined in and the competition wa11 most decidedly noticeable. We showed up very badly on this day and only Bell and Oliver were able to take first. although several 1econds were brought in. Oliver ran the half in 2:10 which WRI lower than the league record and 10 we did not feel altogether down-hearted over our 1howing. Rather we realized just where we stood and how much work would have to be done if we won the championship. No other meets were indul i,ied in, but daily workouh at th,e college put u1 in the best of condition for th,e great day In no other sport, exc,ept u,nnis, is the whole 1eason culminated in on,e gigantic fest and so great interest was arous,ed. Esp,ecia\ly as we were allowed to resume vocal rallies in the auditorium, which have done wonders in rejuvenating the well-nigh ,extinct school spirit. Satur day, the fifteenth of March, found Alumni field populated with numerous juvenile ··homo sapiens" all thinking one and the same thing: ..That track cup mu1t remain in Claremont .. Each one knew that his bit, no matter how little, would help, and so it turned 01.1t, with the meet depending on one point. As the full score is given only a few events will be spoken of. It would be pleasing ro recall each event but space is short and time is Reeting. Captain Bell earned every poHible point in his events, running up a total of 14 ¾ with fiut in both hurdles, setting 8 league record in the low hurdle,., and tying with Sam S rqithe for first in the high jump. Of cour-"e, this was not jumped off but Bell would probably have won as the height wa1 ollly 5'4¼" and Bell did4>ne quarter of an inch les1 than six feet Inter in the season. Such an altitude i8 phenomenal for high school. Captain-dee! Smithe followed with ten points garnered in the pole vault, high jump, and )ow hurdles. Hi, lap of the relay was one of the prettiest that has been meen in tbe&e parts. Oliver, a" expected. won the half mile. 1etting a new record. and was bested in the broadjump only by Hill of Corona, who broke the record with a leap of twenty feet,, five inche.,.. He may hav,e to look lo his laurel,. next year, however, if Oliver im proves his form much more. Wheeler gathered points here and there end the re"t of the team did their best. For instance, Col\aday. in creased our total by seven. All through the meet it eould be easily seen that our only contestant for first honors waa La Verne, our ancient rival. who had a very -"trong conglomeration. As ha, 6,een taid every one of our team did his best and a" the meet drew to a close _

Puy,·hfty-fi,·,·

it was seen that with the relay still to be run off, La Verne was only six points behind. If they won first in the . relay and any other place the meet was theirs. The meet was als? theirs if they did win first and we less than second. Each of these two schools entered two teams, the other schools one. It is not known whether or not anyone breathed when the first runners got on their marks, but statistics would be rather interesting. Wheeler ran fir11t against Root of La Verne, who had already taken first in the 220. Realizing what it meant Wheeler did more than his best and remained even with Root until the end of the turn when Root gained about a yard. This yard made a lot of difference· as La Verne thereby got the pole, and a miJ<C up in passing the baton lost a good deal for us. Bell and Smithe, however, running against Gillette and Bronsberger, respectively, regained what we had lost, and Smithe, by running every inch of his race faster than he ever ran before, gave Oliver an almost even start. By a quick start Bohn and Oliver were seen running stride lor stride for the entire last lap. As he had to ljloln on the outside, Oliver lost just enough to give the relay to La Verne, but came in about one fool behind with the second which gave Claremont the meet, a11 La Verne secured neither of the remaining positions. So once again Cl<1remont had won the league championship in track, but never before by so small a margin. Two years ago we won

by 37 points from La Verne and had just one less than enough to have Last year we were harder won from the other schools combined. pressed and it was not tll\ the last few events that we won. This year we won by one point, and although a miss is as good as a mile, La Verne did not miss by enough to keep Claremont from being ner vous about next year. All things seem to point to at least an equally close meet and no dope can come within one point of correctness. Be sides it may be seen that twO years ago we had ten men winning digits and many more out. Last year we had five lettermen and more scoring but not as many out and not a11 many placing. This year we had five who would have won letters by the old standards and only seven point winners. Which all goes to show that unless more men turn out it seems as if Claremont"s winning streak in track will be broken. One bright aide of the situation is that La Verne. too, loses many of her best men. Still we welcome back oii.ly captain-elect Smithe, Oliver, and Clark. of this year's lettermen to brighten our outlook. Some later meets deserve mention although track season is nomin ally closed with the league meet: Bell tied for first in the high jump in the San Fernando Meet. Perhaps our best work of the year was in obtaining fourth in the Pentatha!on at Pomona College. Many large schools were entered, each sending ten men. We could scrape up only five: Oliver, Wheeler, Bell, Smithe, and Jose Sumabat. However, this outfit competing against twice its number obtained fourth place. Oliv,-r and Wheeler qualified in each of the five events, the hundred, shot put, high jump, broad jump, and low hurdles. P11,,J,Fif1_,·-si.r

Clevenger, Johnson, and Clifton, cavorted in the far ditlance. For the fint few inning& we kept even with Chino, but when they drew three run, in the fourth the score stood, Claremont 9: Chino 1 I. Then Johnaon replaced McBurney a, pitcher and we added to our score regularly, while ahe held Chino to only two more runs. So, aided by Gr111ene's marvelous backetopping, Johnson's pitching, and the con11i11tent good hitting of all. especially of Shaffer and White, who each batted .466: we returned home victors to the tune of 25 to 13.

Still, laat year we had beaten Chino 20 to 8 and yet had been defeated by Colton. Nothing like overconfidence wa, evidenced by ua and a week later we took the field against Colton, at Colton. The sup port given was the be,t of the year in all athletic,, for besides the truck many cars went to the Cem.,nt City, Aa little drops of Cali fornia condensed sunshine had been descending, the reguh,r diamond was too muddy for play and the game was pulled off on a temporary field. Clump& of graaa marred it but it was just a1 bad for them as for u1, so no complaining wa1 heard.

Johnson started the 11:ame this time and held the Coltonitea score len in the first, and to only one run in the .second. In the meantime we garnered four runs in the fiut, and augmented thi.s with one more in the second. In the third, however, Colton copped five runs; but we ■till held a lead of two. Johnson wa.s replaced by McBurney in the next inning and Colton grabbed five more digitl before the team tightened down. Thia tied our .score and from then on the gam" was airtight. Colton managed to obtain about one run an inning, while we remained one run behind until the eighth when Colton started a 1lug feat which could not be 1topped before they had forced four run nen acrou the plate. We did our best in the inning left, but no more runs were secured, leaving the final score. Claremont 14: Colton 19.

La Verne and Claremont were still tied for 1econd place as both had beaten Chino and Corona had not enle-�ed a team. So on the next Friday great interest was shown wh"n the game wa, played, and many turned out although rain threatened. The game was not put off as all wished it to be played and the season ended before Spring Vaca tion. A slow drizzle set in just before the game started and a poor type of ball was played for four innings, when the score was a tie. Then a harder rain set in and the game was called. Thi, tie was not played off as no one wished to practice over Spring Vacation.

The first year of girl1' indoor we were fortunate enough lo beat Colton, although it took two games for us to do it. Now for two year& they have secured first honon with us as runners up. In both of these yean the games have been dose and exciting. This 1eems to be a challenge for next year. Every girl with a 1chool spirit ought to be as eager to take it up as are Parkill, Babcock, Johnson, Greene, White, Hamilton, Clifton, and Clevenger, together with this year'• substitutes.

In ba•eball we were faced with the same situation ,u in basketball, only more ao. Of la11t year"• team only two lettermen were left. But the baeeball jinx which had been.hovering over Claremont for the la•t ten yean, had been definitely li:illed when it waa cremated -.>me two yean ago. That year we won half of, our league games and last year turned out perhaps the best baseball team which Claremont had ever had; but Colton, too, had a superfine aggregation which wrested the ch8mpionahip from u• in an exciting game. Thia year the ghost of the jinx tried its best to haunt ua, but waa unaucceuful for we won our fiut game and have very good chances of winning the LaVerne game. Thia ha1 not been played at the pre■ent writing. Coach Cole started prnctice early in the 1e1uon and numerou1 practice game• had u1 in very good condition for our fiut league con test, which wa1 with Chino. Chino had a very good team with 1ome 1ix lettermen, and Dominguez, their heavy hitter, WH ,till with them. When the game fint ■tarted it looked a, if their playing wa, much auperior lo ours for they garnered two run, in the lint inning and two more in the fourth, while we could do nothing until the 1ixth frame. Then Smithe, who replaced Al Wei1brod al third in the fifth, got the fint clean hit of the day on our side and jarred u1 into ,ome 1emblance of life. Johnny Wei1brod and Clevenger each 1ucceeded in reaching first 1afely, although Smithe wa1 put out on 1econd. They scored two rune for UI on Caine■" hit. Thi, ended the 1ixth inning, but a little scientific bunting and another hit by Smithe brought in three more tallie1 for u1 in the 1ixth inning. Chino, too, obtained three run• this inning and thing, looked rather bad for UI with only two more inning■ left and the 1core five to ,even. We were not to be denied. however, and in the la11 half of the ninth, Flagg and Owen reached base ,afely and advanced to 1econd and third re1pectively when Wheeler wa1 ■ent in as a cinch hitter. And did he hit-Oh Mv! The first ball over went back at the pitcher faster than he cared to handle and we obtained the two run■ necenary lo tie the count. In the first extra inning the fint three Chino men were put out and our team fared little better. Gaines 1huck out two Chino men in the next, while the other wa,

Pa,<Jt:Si.rl)'

retired on an easy grounder. And then the fireworks atarted. With one away, Smithe reached first on a pasa and was advanced to third by Wheeler"s hit, while one more out was made. Then Gaines got the cleanea·t hit of the day into center field scoring Smithe and winning the game. To give a full account of the game it was neceasary to men tion each player as every one did his very best. Gaines had twelve strikeouts to hia credit while batting aa high as any one and bringing in the winning run with hia hit in the eleventh. Weiahrod played an excellent all round game; while Barton's work on pick ups at first was little ahort of miraculous. We would suggest his getting a job as a combination juggler and contortionist. Owen's bunting was more than uaeful, as he scored two of our runs aa well as bringing in one. Smithe at third started things for us with his hit in the sixth and kept them up by scoring the winning run in the eleventh, while Captain McBur ney needa no heralding of his virtues-besides I have not the space, but anyway hia hits went a long way towards winning the game, as did his good fielding. Al Weisbrod, who played third the first part of the game, covered all of his territory in a very efficient manner and played this position in two later games, so you may see just how good the coach thought him. Clevenger's quick work in the field kept Chino"11 score down materially and to him, alao, goes a fair share of the victory. Flagg, at center, covered his ground in big league style, while batitng as high as anyone. Clifton rounded out this team by holding down about all the ground there was in right field, and generally speakin� proving himself useful. The playing of Wheeler, who replaced Clev enger in the ninth, needs no ex planation if you have read this accounl up to this point. Some seven days later our competent wrecking crew, after wadin� through sheep dip and braving the dangers of the hoof and mouth diaeaae in other ways, seemed to have lost their pep or not to have had their vitamines or something-or-other, for after three innings of torrid ball we ceaaed to function altogether,. and were defeated by Corona. We began well enough with two run� in the first inning. It was again Smithe who started th-ings wi th a two bagger, bringing in our fiut (and laat) score. But in their half of the first, Corona more than evened the count, wh,,n they obtained three runs off as many hits and a few errora to boot. In the second this was augmented by Hill's homer. Hill will be remembered as the league-record-holder in the broad jump. Altogether this lad got three hits and every one was a long one. Sirice in his othera there were men on baaea, things turned out very badly for our team. Others of Coiona's team had the habit nf 11lappin'i\' the "nelota,'" too, as shown by the fact that they obtained fourteen hita. Thia, coupled with thirteen strikeouts and ab,olutely no hits aft-er the third on our part, cculd mean only one thing-defeat.

n xt 0 waa !�;g :a d::�d= j::t C:�!�:h::;i�: :7�h: ��-��:�ty1!:g!:":i: Colton had been as yet unbeaten, and this was their last game. Ability to hit, and bunch their hits at that, won the game for Colton for they conai,tently hit the ball much better than our team. Twelve atrike outs on our part did not help matten and by the time the game was over the score stood 9 to 2. But Colton's win was not as easy a, it sounda. We pushed over the opening run in the second, although they got two and it was not until the sixth that they obtained any more. Then three hits and an error turned into as many runs for them. We did not even threaten to score after this and so once more we had bowed in defeat to Colton. She has played hog thia year, winning cup, in Football, Lightweight Basketball, Girls' Indoor, and Baseball. We will be out for revenge next year in each of these sports and baaeball will see us with a.number of lettermen back.to make a team worthy of givin"g Colton a fight for the Championahip and settling the baaeball jinx permanently into a nice Warm seat by the fire.

wrunts Going on the theory of ··10 him that hath shall be given·· ought to add another cup to the collection gathered in the la11t five consecutive years.

But this theory is about all the data we have, aa

the league tournament is three weeks off and no definite team haa yet been chosen.

Captain Allan Taylor, easy singles champion last year.

will be .seen in action in first ainglea "and perhaps mixed doubles.

easy victory in 11ingle11 is conceded him by all dope,ters, and, 1hould he play mixed doubles, nothing but a win can be foreseen in that. The real of the boya' leai:,:i is unformed as yet, but McKenna ia making a strong bid for a place'.

He is threatened by Oliver,

a last year's

letterman, who baa just come out for tennis; while Wheeler, also of last season's aggregation, when he gets through with baseball should make ,iecond or third man. a little later.

Orval Jallings is liable to show up better

He is at present in fifth place.

team with only one letter-holder.

The girrs side of the

Adelaide Parkill,

weak.

Adelaide is now first girl, and f_rom all indications, should hold her place.

Wark, LeCaye, and Babcock stand next in the list.

practice match has been played up to this time.

Only one

In this Chaffey won

everything from us except the two first singles. As I said, we should win again this season; but it will be a hard pull.

With little or no interest shown, and with an insufficient number

of courts, it is easy to grow peuimi,itic.

Much enthusiasm in tennis j,.

being shown by the junior high boys and if a few girls will mainfest a like interest a bright future for the kingly sport lies before ua.

Until

then we mull hold the fort as best we can. Due to the fact that the league tournament comes off ,io late thi,i year no acr.ount of it can be given in the annual.

However, many

practice tilts have been lined up and the team will be in the best of trim by May 24th, when Colton will be the acene of a number of hard fought matches.

Judging from former seasons and from the material

at hand, the brand of tenni,i will be of the highest, the fight and per severance of the finest type, and the matches true examples of Clare mont"s athletics.
