Golf. Tournanfent Between S. H.
S. and AI. T. H. S. at Riverside.
For Che last two Saturdays, a golf
tournament has been held at Riverside Park links between teams composed of Shortridge and Manual Training High School boys. The teams have
consisted of five boys, and those who
have represented us are: Paul Scbaf-
ter, Herman Spain, Blaine Patton,
Ray Alexander and Herbert Rehm.
The first contest, which was held a
week ago last Saturday, resulted in a
tie, each side making seven points by
tlie Nassau system of scoring. Last
Saturday our boys were beaten by one
point, the score standing. M. T. II. S.,
8; S. H. S., 7. The work of Schaffer
and Spain for us was especially tine.
The agreement was made before tbe
tournament began tbat the team
which won two out of three matches
would be the victors. As tbe first
match was a tie, M. T. H. S. will have
to win the next match, which ls to be
held next Saturday, to win tbe tournament. If our boys win next Saturday, it will even matters up and a final
game will have to be played. We hope
that onr team will be successful, Saturday, aud will then win the rubber
match.
WHAT    THE     GAME    WITH
BUTLER   SHOWED.
Estimate of Strength   of Team
—Comments on the Lineup.
The Butler game last Saturday developed many of the weaknesses of the
1905 foot-ball team. It showed that
we were strong on offense, but weak
on defense. Tbe left side of the line
was especially weak. Before the next
game, Saturday, with Alexandria High
School, we shall probably see some
changes in that part of the lineup.
Bonsib, whose position is half-back,
and who was taken from that place
to strengthen the line, will probably
be seen again in his old position. Mclaughlin will take bis place at left-
tackle. This should strengthen the
line, as Bonsib was not much of a
success ln his flew position.
Scott, Harrell and Lawrence, of last
year's team, are playing their positions—left guard, right guard and
right tack!;, respectively—In a creditable manner. Gavin, a new man at
center, is playing a good game for tbe
first year. Brown, Lowry and Morrison are holding down tbe end positions. Leathers at quarter-back is
filling the hole lef by McKinney, so
that the tatter's absence Is not noticed. Schoen isplayinga great game,
tbis year. His hurdling aud cross-
bucks are sure ground gainers. He is
also backing up the line in the "Hazy
Clark" style. Allerdice, at full-back,
makes good gains, and runs the team
in a creditable manner. He also does
most of the kicking.
' The team this year is very light,
tbe lightest for several years; but it is
fast and game, and can well be relied
upon to uphold the honor of the school
on the gridiron.
Miss Brooks does not know yet just
when the French Club will hold its
first meeting, but it will be some
time before long. She will talk at
tbe first meeting about her trip to
Quebec this summer.
Bertba Buchanan can't prove a
proposition, but can't tell why she
can't prove, and can't tell when she
has proved it.
