Tnder the !:inpeni:·don of )lr. Buttt>rfield, for the fir~t time in the history of the ·chool, a public onte. t wa. h •ld to decide who should represent Champaign in thP di~trict conte ·t.

The influence of good ph·tures cannot b • overe timated. The \\'oman's 'lub has r •cognizt>d this fact in pres •ntinO' to th high school, "Heading from llonwr." We thank the Club for the kindly interpst in making our smrm.mdings a· arti~tic as po:. ible.

The senior <lepm·tment of the '' )laroon" ha.- been enlarO'ed this yl'ar.

'l'he iutt•rp .. t, ho\n•wr, ,'lwwn hy the large poll, prows that more attention is being gh·eu hy th • public to thi.- qupstion than eyer bt•fore. Certainly, if the citizens of this town can be made to rPalize th • conditions a. they really are, they will not delay lono·er the project of a new l1igh ·chool building for 'hampaign.

CLASS HISTORY inety hilarious, frivolous fre hmen Entered this High School in 1907. ow, more than fifty industrious wise-men Are leaving-as seniors-in 19II. The very best class Champaign ever had Is leaving the High School this year, And I'm sure everything will go to the bad When they leave-I am trembling with fear.

Perhaps all those reading this, do not agree With the facts that I've just now related; But a bit of the history will suffice, and you'll see That it's true-just as I have stated.

As freshmen, we were not at all green, As some freshmen classes we know; Nor did we get lost, as some people we've seen, For we always knew just where to go.

As Sophomores, this class had a meeting one night And planned for a Sophomore Cotillion; The affair was successful-a beautiful sightat surpassed by one in a million.

The next year as Juniors, we entered the schoolWe felt very dignified, thenWe faithfully, patiently followed each rule To impress all the giddy young freshmen.

That year, we had a meeting again And arranged for a Senior Reception; This al o, was grand as the other had beenWithout even one exception.

"Prexy" Taft- ICHOLAS MILLER. 22

The Has But For

next-the last of four glorious yearsbeen full of worries and gladncs"; our joys have far overtopped all our fears, we do not think long of our sadness.

\V e then, planned a ball for the twenty si. th of 1! ay; The dark red carnation, our flower, And arranged for a banquet on St. Patrick's day, And si.· of the clock was the hour.

Thi is the class that made lligh School o bright; It is we who secured public speaking; It is we who had President Taft come in sight For to sec us, all people arc seeking .

• ·ow, as others, this wonderful clas will oon go; But we hope 'twill be remembered forever.

Remembered-not only for all that we know Although we're remarkably cleverBut For For For

rem our our our

mbercd for the splendid e.·ample we've been glorious spirit of progressionman-e lou ability to go in and win; talents in study and ex pre ·sion.

Then here's to the class that will graduate this year Who always knew just what to do.

Here's to the Senior -our classmates so dear Here's to the lovely-to you.

With malice toward none, but affection for all, This prophecy was written, in response to a call.

So read 1t for pleasure, amusement or bliss, For predictions so given, are usually amiss.

Fay Faulkner and hi friend 'arl Linbarger far down in the mysteriou depths of HadeR, were painfully paying their moral debt to 'atan. The former, burdened with a hundred pound shovel waH throwing coal in a mammoth furnace. The latter, was vainly trying to supply a gey er with an ordinary hand pump.

"Well, Fay, how is Ve uvius?''

"Oh! I've got it hot enough for another eruption provided the old man doesn't switch coal on me," an wered Fay dryly.

"Any new from Earth?"

"Any new. ?" Satan gave me hi complete diary on the class of 1911."

"Good enough," replied Fay. "Let' go it on Lover'! Stone and read it over."

As they lo,vly walked to their de tination, Fay uddenly exclaimed, "Hello! h re come· Rev. Sizer. ' After greetings were exchanged with the new arrival, Carl explained to him that h wa about to read atan's diary on the class of 1911.

"Lay it a ide," ugge ted izer. "It has only been a short time ince my departure from Earth, o I think I am capable of relating the career of mo t of my belov d cia mates."

Ah-well I remember Tho e old times of my youth, 'Twas in :May-and for us 'Twa Life's l\laytime, in truth.

"You may have my carnation, See- I'll pin it right here!''

And, laughing, he left me \Vith my thoughts thcu so dear.

How its dark beauty lured me!

For, in fact, 'twas a part Of her who had worn it, And stolen my heart.

\Ve vowed love eternal, But our vows, it i plain, Were faithless and fickle And our love was in vain.

The years sin e have fled And with them the dreams; Those dreams-they arc shatter<'dAnd but a memory, it seems.

It is old now, and faded, It is fragrant no more, And it's beauty no longer Attract as of yore.

Yet these memories I cherish And with care will I try Each petal to treasureAnd lay back with a sigh.

I "'Tote to tlH• orphan aK_vlum at SlatPr, a.·king for a good-looking, well-behaved, bright boy of a fpw yt>UI'H, to h' taken on trial. "Be ure to put in 'bright' Haiti my wife; it would be o nke to have a g<>niu. in the family." Our pr<>parations "Pl't' manifold.; a lar e playroom waR Kta('ked with toyH of all deseription .

Finally th ' day on which w' e.·peded our on-by-law arrived. ,Jubilantly we came to the station ju:t a th train pulled in.

"Well, what under the canopy." I e.·elaimed a I beheld a trange figure approaehing. It wa: a hoy al.lOut two f et tall with lender leg.· aml armH, no neck to :;;peak of, and an abnormally large head. His red hair stuck out from beneath hi green cap; his eye: were a light bhw; hi: nose wa: vPry pudgy; and hi complexion, remarkably fair. His peculiar appearance wa~ enhanced by a pair of . p •ctacle '.

"May I inquire if I am addrPksing Mr. and MrR. Ford?" he aKked.

"You ar<'," ·aid my wife.

"I am mo. t happy to make your acquaintance my dea.r father and motl1er," h wt>nt on. "I have attended to my trunk, o now we ean proePPd to m;v future home."

"Oh, really, 1his is too absurd for anything, don't you know; I hav<>n't pla,ved with toys for agps, much l<' . look d at a doll."

Thus spoke Emerson Billing., aged two, when we . how d him his l>layroom. "I prefer the reading of SbakP:peare and other rna ter minds. It is . o upliftii)g to th ·haracter."

So it was. Everything we had or <lid wa.- too young for him.

Blizahdh and I had heen wry fond of playing ragtime tog th r in the evening.-, hut Emer~on wouldn't hear of it. In. tead, he would play long elas. i<:al pieces with impos:;;;ible names, while Elizabeth and I ~at nodding in our <'hair. . )latter became wor e.

One day I found Elizabeth crying in the kitchen a if her heart would ln•pak. Enu•rson had corrected l1er pronunciation at a party she had given the day before. That was too much! The ·<·oundrel (my baby) had dared to in.·ult my wife (hi mother) !

THE GONG Hear the recitation gongBrazen gong!

What a tale of misery is told in its wild song!

In the startled pupil's ear It rings out so loud and clear Calling him to recitations Despite all expostulations To be still.

Ilcar it clanging, clanging, clanging With a loud and horrid jangling Calling pupils to recite \Vhen they know not wrong from right.

How it pounds I And resounds Through the halls! It roll along \Vith its harsh, discordant song.

And the children in a throng Move to the rooms where they belong To the music of the gong, Gong, gong, gong, gong; To the singing And the dinging Of the gong.

Should he to the south land go, Leave his home of ice and snow, The sad thought occurs to me 'ot contented he would be In old Japan?

After all 'tis best to stay In your home, though far away, Whether in the land of snow, Or where the cherry blossoms grow In old Japan?

They ·aiu they had a plan to win the game from ~Iathlmrn anu that wa all they \vould Ray. The next afternoon when the team were Hned up, Mathlmrn's spirit were v ry low. Th game tarted and tanford ·lowly pushed ~Iathburn ba ·k from the fifteen yard line, to the ten yard line, and on to her five yard line. \Vhen the team atrain lined up " kinny" wa se •n having a whisp red con ultation with "High llrow.'' The game went on. " kinny" got the ball and tarted for the goal.

AN EXCITING NIGHT HE room wa~-; an olcl-fashioned one, lar re and cozy. At one . ide of it, in a huge fire-place, tht> tlame.' blazed and danepd llll't-rily, a.· if in oppo.·ition to the raging Htorm without. 'eatpd on a rug bt>forP the fire, was a boy of about fiftt>en, popping t·orn. By lli ide, lli young ·r hrotlt<'r a laO. of iwehe year , W<lH iutt'ntly watching him.

A young gil'l, probably Ht'\'l'nfeen, was sPatl'd in a lm'l4(' ehair, a uook in her lap, at ·which she occa. ·ion ally glance<I carele . .·ly, whilP watching the two hoy: h •fore ht>r.

Ekie )Jadden was a pretty girl, and a. ·he . at in the fir,_ ligltt, lH·r IH•ad rt>sting on her ltaJul, ami her brown hair falling in ;mall curb; over IH•r fm·t>lu>ad, she lookeu still more charming.

Being the only girl of the family, ;h' wa.-, of cour.-e, the pet and idol of her two brothers. Her parent had gone to a party, ten miles a\va ·in the ·ountry, anti would not be lm ·k that night. Ho sh' llad the care of the hou.-e and of her two brother . The neare t house, wa.· a ;mall ·ottacr' at th' foot of th' hill, in which dwelt John oruin, an old .- •rvant of the ".Madden family.

Harry and 'l'om, 1ike mo ·t boys of their age, wer brave and fearle.-.. They weren't afraid to ·tay alone, and thought if anything should happen, they coulu protect their .:ist r. For wa. n't • he a girl-and aren't all girl coward ?

They ~at for some time in ·ilence, after their parent had gone. Tlten llany, lifting the popper from th fire anu pouring iht- whit<> kel'nel into a deep pan, .·aiu: "I'll tell you thi i a tPrrilJle stormy night. I'm glad to lJe in the hou;p," ''Ye.·, uut I almo ·t wi.'h we had let John , tay here tonight.

If anytlling ·houlu happ 'n, you know, we'd b almo ·t cared to death.'' " h pshaw, El:i ', why I'm not afraid of anything. Anti then Tom could l1elp prot<>ct you, for I kno\Y lle' brave, even if he i a little fellow."

"Ye ·," saiU Tom, "if a uurglar ~hould come here tonight, why I'd protect yon while IIarry ·hoi him. ' And tom looked very brm·c and dignifi d, to think that he micrht ue ('ailed upon to hield hi · ·i.-ter. '·\Yhy, I'm not afraid of burglar . I'd ju t as ·oon hoot a not, and I'd not b one bit frighten d, ' said El i .

"An admirer of Irving's style."-FRANCE · Kr.ANK. 65

"Humph, that' all right to ay, but I know you would be. \Vhy, I can almo t see you now, wrincring your hand and vowing never to stay alone with u again. llut I'll tell you what, I'll get papa' revolver and put it on the .·tan<l near my bed. You can take my pi tol into your room, if you want to; but I know you'll n ·ver u e it. Then, if anything ·bould happen, you call me and I'll . ee what's the matter."

Then Harry aro:e from the l'llf', laid the popper on the table and walked over to the window, .·aying, "I gue:-> the windows are all fa tened, aren't they Ehde'?''

"Ye , I'm going to bed. B • ·ure lo cloRe thi' door wl1en you come up tairs."

The boy remained loner enough to fa.·ten tl1e door.· and put out the light , then ha tened up stair·. From hi~'{ father's room, Tom brought the old r •volver, whieh Harry carefully laid on the ·tand at the head of the bed. ""Tc'll fL' for them, and then if they do come, we'll give them a warm r 'ception. Hey, Tom?'' "You know we will,'' amnv •red Tom. The , torm cea ed. The cloud. partly Rcattered, aiH1 the moon show d from b tween them. A dull grating :-;oun(l wa.· heartl. cratch, . cratch, it . ounded. The boys heartl it and :-;o did their siHter ElHie. They lay perft>dly quiet, intently li.'tening and gazing in the direction of the win<low from whence the ·ound came. Ju t then, the cloud parted and the moon revealed to them the form of a man, outlined again. t the window. The window wa · gently rai ed, and the man entered the room.

The boy , peechle with terror, watched him a. he went throucrh each drawer of the writing d • ·k and dre.,·:-;er. He pau ed, but only for a moment, to look at the oc(upants of the bed. Believing them a leep, he walked acroH · the room, into a larcre lo et, wl1ere a .·mall afe tood. lie tooped down to open the . afe. At that moment Ilarry's en.'es returned and he gave a piercing cr am, which echoed through the entire hou. P. The burglar jumped up and started for the door. But too late! ElHie ru bed in, closed the door with a bang, and turned the k<>y. ~'h y spent the remainder of the night in the gr<>atP.'t terror.

Tom wa. too frightened to move. IIi tongue seemed glued to the roof of hh; mouth, and Harry, the boy who wa~ going to be ,'o brave, the boy who wa going to shoot any burglar who might vi it them that night-well, he coul<l do nothing but scream and cry.

EL ie . tood with her back to th clo t door, white a' a . heet, and trembling. he had trapped their burglar, aved the contents of h r father's safe, and perhaps their own live .

A FAIRY TALE ..- - -. .-,..-,.. . OBllY wa tired of playing. }!other had gone to the ocial 'luh and the little boy had been left alone to amuse him elf. Pre ently, for lack of entertainment, he decided to go out under the trees and li ten to the locusts's singing. lie ran into the yard and sat down beneath a great maple tree.

Tlw locm.;ts sang their loudest for him, lmt even thi · divprsion wa · not very exciting, and soon the little boy began to feel very drow ·y. lie wa just about to go to sle 'P, "\Vhen a great locu. t ·topped singing, and flew down be ·ide him . ... Tow, Bobhy had never been very elo: to a real, live locu t, and l1e was :urprised to see that this one looked somewhat like a little man. It was dre ·sed entirely in green, with a dark green coat and a striped wai t-coat. Its eyes were large and glassy, and its mouth was pursed into ju:t the right shape for whistling. The little creature's wings were almost a· tran parent a a pane of glass, and the e, too, were colored a delkate green. Altogether, the little sonrr:-;ter looked remarkably like a human being, and Bobby could scarcely believe that it was a mere locu t, e pecially when it began to peak.

"Hullo, Bobby." " 'Lo," an wered Bobby.

"Gue ·s you don't know me."

"Gue · I do. You're a locust."

"A locu t! \Vell, ye , I may be-that is, I look like one, but I'm truly an elf, an' I've come to play with you tlti afternoon."

"0-o-o-oh! Did you really come to s e me? I like elve , truly I do! An I like locus' elves better than any other kind." Bobby was charmed at the idea of baving a fairy for a playfellow. ""\Yell, I'm glad you do. Now, what shall we do fir t?" a ked tlw little man.

"Oh, won't you take me to your home? I'm ju ' longing to see where fairies live!" Bobby was b coming acquainted rapidly.

"Why, if you wish. What time will your mother be back?

At five'! Well, I gue · we'll have time enough to ee orne of the ·igbt of Elf-land. Now you ju t do a I tell you. Fir t you must eat a ~it of the e leaves, o you'll turn into a locu t."

"Th •re !" eon tinu •d the elf, " Tow om with me.''

Then otf they fl<..·w, to tlH' top of th ntaplt> tree. Tlwr' Bohhy di.· ·overed that the tre • was hollow. The two went through tlw opening and h<'gan to de. c •n<l. They went down an PIHll<•ss time, until they landed in a fairy palace. 'l'he :cene lwforl:' them waH more wildly bt•autiful than any dream.

Tlw palace was tilled with tiny peoJ>le, all hurr) ing aud s<·urrying about. ThPy were a motlpy crowd. Home WPl'<' dr<>.'H<'d as locu ·t ', other.' a. bee., and • till oth r · looked lik nwsquitoes.

Each one Heemed to lulYe hiH own particular work to do. At OIH' •nd of th' hall, Bobby Haw a crowd of elve!-1, and in the middle, on a raised platform, sat a littl<>, brown, <hvarf-king, dech•d out in regal splendor. Th<• little earth pPopl Sl' •med wry loyal to their king. All wer' an.-ious to do him homage.

After walking about in th<• hall for some time, th • little lo u. telf led Bobhy through a set of FmbtPrranean passagt>: that were light d by fire-flies ·tationed. at irre(rular interval~. The~ pa ··age:, the dwarf xplaint>d, were for the little elvps to walk in when they wer cm·ing for the flow r-root~, during the told weather. For, you know, the elveR ~pend a great part of th ir time in winter looking after the roots of the flowers, to 'ee that they do not freeze . ... Text, Bobby wa led into another hall, the mo. t intere. ting room of all. It wa, a kind of hospital to wllil'h all injurc•d flow r., in:ects, and bug were brought. Ther' were gras. hopper.~ that had be n hurt hv nauO'hty hoy. ; worm. that had been :trnl'k with a hovel when some one wa. digging in the garden; and. pale flower: that had. lw n torn or brok n by the wind.

Bobb' would have liked to . tay much longer in the en<"hanted palace, but the lo u ·t-man told him it was nearinO' five o'clock. He utter d a long-drawn-out whistle, and immediately a great now ·tood bPfor them. The two traveler limbed upon his back, and off he flew.

To .·tart thin~~ ri~htly thi: year, our football team after ~iv­ in~ its loyal Huppori<'l's heart di. eaHe on many occasion~, wiped out all it: pa.·t records on ThankH~ivin~ Day, when before two t houHan<l enthuHia.'tie rooters it surpa.- · d and humbled th<' proud rrhana (pam. .\nd the hitlwrto invincible Jinp, which had e\·en ~<'ored againHt Ho<'Hord, the :tate champions, was thrown ba<'k HO Hm·ceHsfully and was kept so bus;v defending it~ own ~oal, that it did not en.'n darP think of H<'m·in~ upon ('hampai~n. The good peopl<' across the line are still trying to figure out how it all happened.

Then our basketball team after winning a good sharP of the ganws went to the tournament, and, in a race with fiftE-en of the he:t teams in central Illinoi~, again lost the championship hy one point. As tlliR artide goP~ to print, we are unable to predict much <·on<·rrnin~ ha!4ehall, hut from the two vietoriPH already won, Wt' hope for a SlH'<'e:sful . ea.-on. In track under th able eoachin~ of ln!4trnctor :\Iilne, we expect to rleHerve con. iderable mention in the . chcdnled meetH. PcrhaJ> not a little of the continual snc<'e. s of tlw la. t two yearH is du to the present managem 'nt of the athletic assoeiatiou .

• tarting last year from the ember· of an a. sociation, whkh exi:tcd praetically in narn only, W<' now have an enrollment of nearly two hundred and fifty membPrH. Tbi yields a r venue of about 1~5 wit i<'h i~ divided equally among the four hranclte. of athletks.

every penny of athletic money, and thu secure the confidence which, it i: hoped, will re. ult in inducin~ every .·t udent in high chool to b orne am mber of the a :ociation in a f w year·.

The management ha had mainly the following ideas in view while building up the pr sent association: Fir t by allowing offie r, and managers to b elected from the ~tudent body, and t herehy allowing th<.'m to <'ontrol the affairs of the a.·Rociation a. far a. i: e. p dient, we haw tried to . how the tudent body that it i. their ~v ociation and that the;v are re· pon. ible for it , uccc:s or failure. Secondly, we ar<.' trying to dev lop all four branche: of athleticR and to put them upon an equal ba. i ·, thereby producing a unity and harmony which i. sure to pell, :ucc . . Thirdly, we wi. h to promote atlll<.'tics for the purpo e of developing in a boy's makeup tho~c qualitic~ which cannot be brought out in an' other way; for the boy, who treat:-; his oppon<.'nt with re:pect and giY<.' him the Hquar<' deal, iH not lik<>ly to b com an unde. irable citizen.

Th hampaign high .·chool boy knows that his team will be well coached, that h will take plea.'ant trips to br<.'ak the mo· notony of training, that h will receive neces.•ary medical tr<>at· mcnt during the . a:on, and finally that win or lo:c the faithful players will receive sweater which they can <·ompare favorably with any high . chool weat r in the . tate of Illinois.

The. ·e condition have induced more than fifty per eent. of our high :chool boys to compete for ,'ome team during the pa~t year, to giYe the be t that is in them to their team., and, at the Ramc time to deYelop<' them lve. ph '.·ically, m ntally and morally.

At thiR time the management wi~hes to thank the hig-h . ehool Rtud<>nt body for the loyal . upport which it ha: always given, we wish to thank tile board of edu ·ation fo.r ih~ aid, the pres~-; for tl1eir ever pref'lent boo t~, and the general public for it: gen('I'OU. enthusia:m and support. And with the pr<'. cnt true :pirit, we, the . management, beg to predict that old " hampaign High'' with th better accommodation. which • h need., and which w tru t her loyal upporter "'ill provide in due time, will continue to produce champion hip teams which will be fir t of all the exponent of true sport man hip and manhood.

. . . . . LTIIO ·ou we have done nothing wonderful in football the past year, th HeaHon was eaHily a Nuceess. ~'here is no d •nying that the team \Yas two or three times defeated, apparently without excuse; but tlH'H defeats wer' only minor crames, to win whkh would haYe been but small honor, while tlw <lisgrace of defpat spurr •d the team on to vidory over its mor important opponents. It is worth noticing, that every team that defeated us wa in turn bested !Jy a team that we had defeated.

Be.'ide the natural playino- ability of the team, there were three other important cause. for the success of the season. In the first place, the chool stood by the t('am. It had the rno t loyal support from the student body ever criveu any Champaign team. Then, it had the hearty .'upport of the management; everything possible was dorw to fa<'ilitatp good playing. We were giwn new suit· and a good coach. Lastly, the team had tlte support of th player' them. elve ; there were usually at least two tt>mns out to practic , there wa.- no grumbling, and hard word, and a spirit to enforc deanne in playing and in training, pr vailed.

Wh n th team lin d up for the tir .. t game, it was . eriously handicapped by the fact that it wa. composed almost entirely, of new player.-; while its opponent were wteran.- who had already played two or three game . But in spite of these odd., the boy fought in a way that clearly showed that there was not a "quitter'' in the .-quad, and it wa.- only the result of a fmublP that the Bloomington team got the large end of the score, u-0.

Th n came the di a. terou.- game with ewman. Thi · wa' an unexplainable affair-the le . aid about it the better. The "As prone to mischief, as able to perform it."-HANNAH HARRIS. 70

scorP was 11-5. Defeat, however, served to spur t.h' team on to victory over .:\Iattoon, in the third game of the season, with a .·cor' of 2:>-0. This change in form was followed lJy a victory owr Tus<·ola, in the fourth game, by a score of 24- 5.

The fifth game was played at Sullivan. 'fhere was some un· ph•asanL inl'i<lentH t!Htt eaused som • of the squad to lose their "nerve",-anyway, Champaign lost the game, 2 -0. The following Thurstlay, however, the tt>arn ·howetl its ·w orth by tlefeating the Decatur team on its home grountl, by a ·core of 23- .

Hopes for thP outcome of the Crbana game now began to risP, and during the following week, the team worked as hard as any team could work. On the afternoon of ~'hank:"iving day, th two teams linetl up at \Vest Entl Park, before two thousantl loyal supportPrs. Th •n, b •gan one of tlw fine:t :truggl R Pver witnessed in the Twin Cities. H wa a clean game and fairly rPf<>reetl. Both t.eamH played with a spirit that would do <'redit to any S('bool,-both as to cleannes.' and determination. ~'he Trhana team was heavier, more cxperiencPd, and had a far better rPeord than the ('hampaih'll t am. Even when tl1e game was more than half over, the rbana rooters maintained that their team would win by fifteen points. Prbana played as well as she ever did,-shc imply struck a better defcm;e thnn pr •viously, one that had been organized for her own pecial discomfiture. Although the scorl' wa:,; a tie, 0-0, the rbana team was clearly and fairly out·played. It never got within striking distance of ChampaiO'n's goal, while 'hampaign had the · · · tePn yard line •'<'n>ral time~, and t wicP < r' ailed to n·' hy a r ki ·k.

UE out.look for ba. ketball at th b ginninO' of the ea on of 1910-11 was not very cheerful. Only two of la. t year' player were back-Largent (captain), and Hough (manager). But at the firHt mectinA", De<:Pmher 5, the large attendance ·howed that at lea:t hampaign wa: ready to make a fiO'ht.

December G, the cla. team. began to practi e. ,.o " '' men were allowed to take part in the. e game:. Decem her 9, the cla series beO'an. The ophomore., led by Captain \\'alton, defeated the fre ·lnnen, captained by Yauuhn. ... ,. ext came the junior- enior game. )fetzler led the enior and nyder the junior . The niors won 19-5. The senior~ won the la champion hip by defeating the ophomores 23-10. This fini hed the clas. serie .

A call wa · L ~u d for the men, whom Coach Fi. her had picked from the e game., together with la t year's reO'ular., to report for training. ReO'ular practic ..·tarted D cember 16. The candidates for the team worked hard to be in the fillikin game the followinO' Tlmrsday. How they worked! { ntil the la. t minute no on kn 'W who would get a place on the t<'am. ?\Iillikin won, 21-13, but not without a haru fight. Th clo. e :core ·ominced the management that it had a good team.

Th next game was with LeHoy. In a very loose game, the . core wa. 23-22 in favor of LeRoy. The following week hampaign lo ·t to th Alumni with a core of 21-1 . January 21, the t am went to Decat m·. On a strange floor, it lost it fourth game, score 21-16. The team in the four O'ame had played good ba ·ketball, but it wa. practically new and lacked teamwork.

thi. game was encouraging, ven to the greatP ·t pe HimL·t, Decatur was ahead at the end of the fir ·t half, but by great team work and ~rrit 'hampaign won in the seeond half. 'rhiH victory furnished to the team the much needed encouragenwnt; for the following week it met 'rawfor<lsvillr'x t<'am, thrN' years' ('hampiom; of Indiana.

The gam with Crawfordsvill' drew the large!-lt and mo t enthu ia ·tie crow<l of the. ea.·on. The gam• wa like a whirlwin<l.

llE Track , ason of 1910 wa: the mo. t .·u<·c ·.·ful one incp 190i. The members of th, team had had one year' experience, and with the abl a .. istance of oach l\Iiln , they were able to do credit to 'hampaign High.

Th inability to . ecure a place for dual m 'ets, k pt the team back somewhat; but training ·wa alway. in earne. t at the A venu scl10ol groun<lK. A likely number report d at the fir ·t call, but th<> team wa. cut to sev 'n men. The, e men were: .l.. Ticker on ( <:aptain), Barber, 'l'aylor, Kaufman, Barton, \Yoodco ·k, and Larg nt.

The fir. t ewnt of the sea. on wa. a Tri-County meet, .held at th Fair Ground. . hampaign. won with thirty-ei"ht point. ; Urb. na wa :e<:ond, with twenty-two; Danville third, with twentyone; and Tu:cola fourth, with eighte n. aptain Nicker. on won th ·hot put, and took econd in the di cu , hammer, and high jump. Largent took con<l in the hundred, two-twenty, and tied for second in the quarter mile. Barber and Kaufman finished second and third, re:pectiwly, in the half mile. Taylor won econd in the mile, whil \Yoodcock obtained three point in the pole vault and took third in the broad jump, which Barton won. A well balanced t am ln·ouO'ht th' victory to hampaign.

E. pe ·tation: of winnin" the harle:ton Inter chola. tic were bright, but the failure of different members of the team to p<>rform in their usual mann r, held harupaign down. However, ickerson took second in th hot, and third in the di cu ; while Barton took .·econd in the broad jump; making a total of even point .

"The over curious are not over wise."-}AY RAYIIORN. 76

In the tat Int rHcholastic, held at th t . of I., Ticker ·on came the nearest to winning a place. He repeated his work of the previou. year by takinrr fourth in tb Hhot put and di ·cu · throw.

One week later, 'hampaign wa.· pitted arrain,·t older and more matur<' mcn,-the A<'adem,v. The ''Prep.'" wer<· hard-put to win, aH the fightin~ . pirit of Champaign waH as evident in track a in t hP other HportH. The ''PrP})H'' won h~' a fiO to 4 .'<·ore.

Of the even m<•n, only J: icker.'on and Largent entered school thiH 'eptember. The former was re-elected <·aptain. ~ ·icJ·er. on 'Voodcock, Darton, and Largent won over nine point.' and were grant(•d "f''s. '' The pro pects for a winning team for 1911 are not ver~' bright, although the fre. hnwn ela.: prom is ~om<' future . tar!<i. Po.'. ·ihly the e fre ·Junen and the men who failt>d to make the team Ia .. t ~·rar may help the two wtc>rans to place Champaign on top.

The events for 1!)11 are not dpfiuitt>ly d<•d(led, hut the followinrr are likely: C'harl<>Hton Int<•rs<'holastic, )lay 13; Illinoi Inter~ ·hola tic, )fay 20; Tri-An~ular meet ·w ith ·rbana and Academy, ~lay 27; Onarga, .June 7; ancl ta~~·s Inters ·holastic, June 10. ~ Tegotiation are al. o on for a meet in whieh hampaign ancl Crbana will <·omp •tc a. one team a~ain.'t Bloomington and .1 ,.ormal.

·w ith all the 190!) t<>am baek ex<' ptin~ Harney and Hill, our 1910 . ('ason looked ~ood from the start. 'Yith , tanl('y, Boone, arter, and ummer. - all new men-to fill up th' two vacancie., and a whole crew of youn~ ters out to make them burry, t11ere was no doubt as to the l'lueces. of the Reason.

Practice .·tarted, at 'Ve. t id Park, with about thirty candidate. ,-all ('ager for a trial. Captain Kern and :M anager Buzick took cllarg<> of the early practice until oaeh ~Ir A<low wa ·ecured. About April1, West End Park was as lively a place a one would care to" e, aft r three-thirty.

Our fir ·t ~arne waH with Danville, hut owin~ either to the poor bowing of the Dam·ill team, or to the e.·traordinary playing of ours, the game re ulted in simply a little practice for us, and very little practice at that. The final count was 16-0. ·we were . cheduled to play Danville again on th<> following aturday, at Danville, but the Fat(', were kind-it rainerl. rand Prairie Seminary was the next victim. The word "seminary'' mmally sugg<>sts a Rchool for girls; these were boys, however, thou~h they did plaJ· hall like girlH. By saying that the . core wa. 23-3, and that our fre. lmum, Tarrant, pitched the entire game for Champaign, I think the Rtory iR told.

During the following we k, Captain Kern led his artists on an invasion of the. outh ('Umpus to meet the l .of I.Aead(•my. This wa.· merely a practice game for both team , but C. H. R took the "Preps" into camp 1-0.

Then came our first defeat. It would be impo sible to tell why or how it happened, but i1 was one of our "off" clays,-the kiiHl that :trike "every" team. Bloomin~ton wax ( hP lu<'ky team.

TlH• game was fast. It wal-; not until thP ninth inning that they won. Th n with one man on halo;<', a hit and an error did the tri ·k.

4·3 wa. the score. "'e played them on our lJOme field the following Haturday and trounced them 7-2. 'l'hen came the thirt<'en innin~ game betwe<'n J)pcatur and Champaign. The game wax played on the 'l'hre<'-I lpague diamond. [( ma,v be hone:-;tly . ai(l that it wa!'l one of th<' ht>Rt high school games pla;ved in tlt is part of the tate. Decatur defeated the Maroon: hy a 1-0 . core, in the thirte nth inning. The :M aroons s<·orecl a run in th<> <'lcventh inning, but it was not allowed on account of th coacher on the third base line interfering ·w ith the rnmwr. Buzick was in great form and hiR support wa · as good a~-; any pitdwr tould wi.'lt, only om• error wa · markPd up again. t the Champaign team-and that made at a time when ther wPre no nwn on the has('S. To "'ills, the Decatur pitclwr, nnvt he gin'n a grt-at deal of cr dit for holding the 'hampaign team down to SPYNl l-;l'attered hitR, for at times his support was ragged.

The rt'tnrn game with Gran<l Prairi<' Reminnry, for thP following week, was cancele<l.

'Ye met Decatur at "'est End Park for our final game, on the following ~atnrda;\'· Both teams disgraeecl themxl'lvPs. A more ra~g<'d exhibition could scarcely haw he<>n staged.

It wa. e.·tr<•nwly xdting at times, how<'VPr, and it" as onl,v hy a gr<'at rally in the ninth inning that Champaign won. With th<' ~eor' standing 7-6 in favor of De atnr in the ninth inning, two mPn out and two men on ba:e~, " ummers kno ked a two bagger, !-leoring two runs and winning -7 ~core.

DPcatur claimed the championship of f'pntral Illinois, and f'O di<l Champaign. Tltey challenge<! th, )faroons to play off the tie; they accepted, but later D<"eatur ronreled th<" game.

Of the 1910 team, we lo~t Captain YN·n, l\Ianagrr Buzirk, Born, Boon<', Spalding, • tanl<>~·, Carter, and "'oodcock. Thi leawR hut two of the 1910 team for thil'; year,-Snmmers and Kiler.

But thrre is an abnndanc<' of mat<'rial, and with Thomp. on for a pitch<>r, we have hop<'R for a good, fa!';t team.

AN EVENING CATASTROPHE The poet hrushed his hair back from his brow, And with a lamentable sigh, he said : ''0, l\Iuse! To thee, I raise my voice. Oh, he Propitiou~. and as. i. t me, for my head Doth ache 50, that I wish that I were dead.''

The fuse responded, and he wrote this tale:"At du k, upon a lonely mountain peak, A man was wandering through the misty gloom; His hands were clenched, and tears ran down his check, His teeth were ct. ~o he could hardly speak.

"IIis face was pale, his breath came quick and short, His hair stood up on end from bitter fright, And now and then he ca:t wift glances back, s if . orne phantom, dire, would soon alight, And slay him in that dark and murderous night. "lie carried in his hand-Oh, gruesome sight,\ gleaming spear it was. without doubt; He raised it high, and ru~hed upon a form That sprang to meet him, uttering a shout"When lo! the Poet's electric light went out.
