SHERIDAN   TO   BE   INVADED TOMORROW
Our Foot-Ball   Braves  and Rooters
Will Take the Town by Storm
—o—
Sheridan will be invaded to-morrow
by the Shortridge High School football team and a band of over fifty
"rooters" who will cheer the blue and
■ white eleven to victory in the afternoon
when it meets the stars from Sheridan.
This team has withstood the onslaughts
of opposing lines for three years and
its colors have never been waved by
defeated followers. It is said that the
Sheridan boys are very anxious to meet
an Indianapolis team as they have
their eye on the state championship
this fall. Manager Trent was glad to
arrange a game and it is now up to the
foot-ball boys and the school to land a
victory to-morrow. Captain Scott believes thot with a good crowd to cheer
his men the Sheridan team can be
given an introduction to the feelings of
a defeated eleven.
A rate of 85c round trip has been
secured and a good sized crowd will go
with the team. The train leaves the
Union Station at 7:10 and will leave
Sheridan at 4:30. Those who wish to
go can give their names to Mr. Trent
to-day. MisB Donnan, Miss Marthens,
Miss MeClellan and Miss OTIair will go
on the trip as chaperons for the girls
and also to aid Capt. Scott's braves to
pull tbe plum of victory.
A number of boys will make the trip
on wheels leaving the  school  at 8:30.
The men who will make the squad
are Scott, Conner, Dugan, Clark, Hare,
Dunning, McKinney, Gipe, Tolin, Van-
Winkle, Griffith, Shank, Snyder, Pratt
and Brown. Coach .Hitin will likely
accompany the team.
ON THE STAGE
S. H. S.   Boy  in a New Roll
From recent reports from our dramatic editor, we are informed that a
well known and popular member of
the 8. H. S. has made his debut as an
actor, Und has met-with success. We
understand that in one of the sketches
at the Grand Opera House, this week,
the part of a bell-boy is taken in an
able manner by Frank Doudicun. The
Friday Echo wishes Mr. Doudlcan
much success, but believes that this
Is assuredly owing to the fact
that Frank was always a good "belle"
boy.|
COINQ AND COMINQ
A   Few   Hints  to    Readers   of  the
Friday Echo
Mr. Thomas gave the Seniors a time
ly talk last Wednesday on things per
tinent to school life.
The Sigma Delta Rho Club of Senior
girls has issued invitations for a dance
on Friday evening Oct. 10.
Classes in Senior Themes will begin
to-day. They will be held in Koom B
the fifth hour every Friday.
The Gym question cannot be discussed
too thoroughly and we hope the fund
will be materially increased very soon.
The Wednesday edition of the Ecno
this week was a very creditable one.
We congratulate the staff on its paper
and trust we shall have more like it.
Wednesday printed an editorial on
"Concerning the Ecno" which savored
strongly of the sarcastic. Wednesday
should remember: "To err is human,
to forgive is divine."
Ruth Maxwell, captain of this year's
basket-ball team, desires to announce
that the time of the Friday class at
the German House litis been changed
to 2:30 to 3:30 instead of 4 to S.
The Daily Echo gives evidence thus
far of being better than ever before.
A high standard for our school paper
is what we want and 'Ate Friday Ecuo trusts that any one who can
suggest a better method for our sheet
will make it known to those in charge.
Important
An important business meeting of
the Do Do club will be held Monday
afternoon with Cornelia Searle. All
members are urged to be present.
DOES THE CAP FIT?
If It Does "Take the Tip"
The    Echo   box    is   not   for waste
paper.
" A    soft    answer    turneth    away
wrath.'
sign   of
Being too "personal"
ill-breeding.
Free speech and freedom of the press
are the principles on which our country is founded.
Because a few are capable to manage
things is no reason why they should be
frowned upon as a ring.
Is is certainly time that the staffs of
the varionB Ecnos be announced. Mod-
eaty is a good thing, but it should not
be "pushed"Jto the extreme.
fl WCHIHE
SAID TO BE UNDER-WAV   IN THE
SENATE
Late Dispatch to Friday Echo From
Our Correspondent
Direct to Friday Echo.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 3.—From
•Recent reports from about the corridors
of the Senate chamber there promises
to be some interesting developments in
the near future. It is rumored that a
gigantic machine is being organized
with three well known senators at its
head. This* ring, it is said, Vvill attempt to control all offices in the body
and in expressive terms be the "whole
thing." A representative of the Friday
Echo interviewed a number of prominent members of the Senate but could
learn little con cerning the proprosed
ring.
Senator Deboe of Kentucky was approached on the subject late last night
as he was entering the buffet of the
Grand hotel. The gentleman from
the blue grass region seemed very indignant at the thought of anyone's connecting his name with a clique and he
refused absolutely to be quoted on the
nytiter. The Friday Ecno, however,
has direct information that points
strongly to the well known Kentucky
senator as one of those in whose hands
the reins of power are said to be
placed.
At the session this afternoon which
will be called at 4:15 the trust bill will
again be up for debate. It has been
some time since a question has caused
the discussion which is being aroused
by the trust bili. Both sides of this
measure assert ""thiff they will be victorious when tlie matter comes to a
vote but the non partisan members say
that whichever way the question is
decided it will be a hard fight.
It is stated that a number of those
mostly interested in the trust hill have
speeches prepared for this afternoon's
meeting. There were no new developments in the ruu?ors about the ring up
until a late hour this morning when
this message was put on the wire to
the Friday Echo.
