Last Wedensday afternoon the Pas¬
adena aggregation of professors com¬
prising some of the best authorities
of Pasadena on the “Science of Fall¬
ing Bodies,” sleuthing, and woodwork¬
ing, found out to their sorrow that
they didn’t know quite as much about
their pet subjects as they had been
led to suspect. For the falling bodies
were not caught in a way befitting
such experts, the slauths couldn’t de¬
tect anything but the umpire’s mis¬
takes, and the carpenters acted as if
they had never seen that great Wood¬
en tool, the baseball bat. The result ;
PASADENA DEBATING EXPERTS
DEFEAT SANTA ANA ARTISTS
Hance and King Defeat Santa Ana by Two to One Count in
Postponed League Debate; Third Series Debates to Start
This Week; Pasadena Still Leading Major Section
of this unaccountable situation was a ;
victory for the regulars by a score
of 8 to 1 in the annual ball game.
When the facult ytook the field the
stands echoed with applause. “Jake”
Cross on first base, “Larry” Wilson on
second, “Honus” Seay at short, and
“Buck” Martin on third comprised a
million dollar infield which could not
be beat (in the error column). Christy
Main on the mount and Chief Meub
behind the bat formed an ideal bat¬
tery for a kindergarten prep chool,
while the outer gardeners, “Tris”
Fall, “Tyrus” Schoch, and “Ping” Hall
fully lived up to their reputations.
The audience certainly got their
money’s worth from Larry Wilson’s
inspiring chatter alone, but with all
the other features offered, among
them “Jake” Cross’ was cry of “Get
together or we’ll hang separately,” I
“Christy” Main’s wiggle ball, and [
«Trig” Fall’s batting average, the stu- j
dents went home completely satisfied. 1
And they did not think the less of the ,
afculty for its showing, for Pasadena ■
is proud of its teachers that will enter i
into student activities and be the butt !
of a few jokes now and then. It im¬
proves ' the spirit of the school and
keeps the students and faculty on
closer relations with each other and
where there is co-operation there is
sure to be success.
Hunnicut pitched four of the five
innings for the regulars and during
that time he held his opponents in
the hollow of his hand. Only one
scratch single was made off his de¬
livery and eight men out of the four¬
teen to face im received the count
of three. A combination of Coach
Seay’s single and an error let in the
only faculty run in the second. Les
Webster pitched the last inning and
after Main had singled he settled
down and fanned the next three men.
Pasadena made five hits, one of them
a long triple to center by Cliff Burton.
Considering the fact that Main is a
semi-pro twirler of some reputation
they did fairly well.
For the Faculty Mr. Meub was eas¬
ily the star. He stood up under the
bombardment of Main’s fast ones
throughout the game and considering
the state of practice he was in he held
on to them very well. Mr. Cross on
the initial sack, Coach Seay at short,
and Mr. Fall in center were the other
fielding stars. Main pitched mediocre
ball. His control was none of the best
and he was continually in hot water
throughout the game, but he was
'effective in most of the pinches and
with better support might have
pulled through. Next year the faculty
are going to train for a week in ad¬
vance and attempt to smear the young
upstarts all oyer the landscape. Per¬
haps!

Speaking before a large and en¬
thusiastic audience Lyle Hance and
Clarence King defeated Howard Tra-
go and Miss West from Santa Ana last
Thursday morning, winning two out of
three judges decisions.
The debate was a lively affair from
start to finish. Although defeated,
Santa Ana put up a good line of argu¬
ment which kept the Pasadena boys
on their guard throughout the contest.
The Santa Ana-Pasadena debate
was scheduled for Friday, February
9, but due to a misunderstanding on
the part of Santa Ana a negative team
was sent to the Crown City instead
of an affirmative combination.
Coach Carson and Coach Deaver
from Santa Ana were both willing to
change sides and hold the debate as
scheduled. However a long distance
phone call from Santa Ana was re¬
ceived to the effect that the negative
team was wanted at Santa Ana. The
only possible thing to do was for Mr.
Deaver to exchange teams. An an¬
nouncement was made, to those wait¬
ing in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, that
it would be an hour before the debate
could be held.
No sooner was such an announce¬
ment made than word was received
from the Peatlanders that it would be
impossible for the affirmative team to
reach Pasadena. The negative team
had already left Pasadena. As Pasa¬
dena was ready and waiting for the
opportunity to debate the next thing
in order was for Santa Ana to forfeit.
This Coach Deaver offered to do, but
believing that it was merely a mis¬
understanding on the part of Santa
Ana Coach Carson refused the forfeit
and set about making arrangements
for a debate on Thursday.
The work of Hance and King last
Thursday was nothing short of bril¬
liant. Both boys were well, prepared
with facts to conclusively prove that
Government ownership of all inter¬
state railroads would not be in the
interest of the general welfare of the
people of the United States. The
Hance and King combination is one of
the best that has ever spoken for the
local school.
Trago of Santa Ana was an excep¬
tionally good debater. He had a clear
logical manner of presenting his argu¬
ments, but was not equal to the task
of defeating the Red and White.
By winning this debate Pasadena
leads the major division of the South¬
western Debating Association, having
Guess P. H. S. isn’t well repre¬
sented over at Oxy this year on the
track. Wells, captain of the team,
Cooper, the star miler, Beckman,
Hills and Hartman all of Pasadena
are showing up fine for the Tiger in¬
stitution.
LILLEY
a record of four victories and no de¬
feats. NOW FOR POMONA.
At a special meeting called by
President Lilley of the Southwestern
Debating Association last Thursday
evening arrangements were made for
the third series of debates and schools
received their ranking in the associa¬
tion.
In both the major and minor divis¬
ions the situation is such that only
two schools have a possible chance
to win the championship of their re¬
spective divisions. This being the
case coupled with the fact that the
debating season has already been an
unusually long one and that many of
the debaters are engaged in numerous
senior activities, Glendale, Lincoln,
Huntington Park and Redondo Beach
forfeithed their remaining debates.
As a result of the second series and
the forfeits the standing in the asso¬
ciation is as follows:
MAJOR DIVISION

Pasadena . 5 0 12
Pomona . 4 1 10

Venice . 3 2 9

Huntington Park. 2 4 8
Huntington Beach 2 4 5
Redondo . 1 5 4.
Gelndale forfeited to Pomona and
Santa Ana! Lincoln forfeited to Pasa¬
dena and Santa Ana. As a result the
only remaining debate in the major
division is the Pasadena-Pomona con¬
test. In order for Pomona to win the
championhip of that division she must
defeat the Red and White by a unan¬
imous decision.
In the minor division Redondo for¬
feited to Oxnard and Santa Monica;
Huntington Beach forfeited to Santa
Monica and Huntington Park. Hunt¬
ington Park forfeited to Venice. As a
result the only remaining debate in
the minor division is Oxnard-Venice.
As Venice has already lost two de¬
bates it will be impossible to prevent
Oxnard from winning the champion¬
ship.
If Pasadena wins one decision from
Pomona the championship contest be¬
tween Oxnard and Pasadena will be
held in the local auditorium March 8.
IEI
OF GLASSES IN
AGRICULTURE
Classes of Mr. Carter Make
Excursion to See Why
Is a Spud
Every phase of potato planting, from
preparing the seed potatoes to mak¬
ing the hills, was observed by Mr.
Carter’s first period agriculture class
on an excursion to Johannson Ranch
near Arcadia last Thursday. The
whole morning was taken by the ex¬
cursion, as the agriculturists decided
to visit a nearby ranch where alfalfa
was being planted. The most im¬
proved farm methods and machinery
were in use at both ranches. At one
of the ranches some of the fellows
wanted to try some real plowing, be¬
cause there is hardly room for any¬
thing larger than a hoe on the school
gardens. With a mule hitched up to
a regular, full-sized plow, they did
manage to do some plowing, but the
furrows looked like snake tracks, ex¬
cept when occasionally they went in
a straight line.
This week another agriculture class
is going to take an excursion to a
large orange ranch near San Bernar¬
dino. The agriculture classes believe
in getting instruction from the prac¬
tical as well as the theoretical side.
SCHOLARSHIP IS
OFFERED STUDENT
AT SWARTHMORE
One of the finest opportunities of
the year is offered to some aspiring
yoilng man of the class of 1917. This
opportunity is a scholarship offered
by the Western Swarthmore Club pro¬
viding for $450 to pay the tuition and
expenses of the academic year 1917-
1918 at Swarthmore College.
The scholarship will be awarded to
the lucky one for his excellence and
force of character, good physiqu, abil¬
ity in sports, combined with his capac¬
ity as evinced by success in studies
and other school activities.
Here’s your chance, Seniors; maybe
one of you will capture this scholar¬
ship. Any one wishing to make appli¬
cation should do so before April 1, by
sending a letter in his behalf from his
school principal, and a personal letter
explaining reasons for making appli¬
cation, to Thomas R. Taylor, North¬
western University, Evanston, Ill. For
further particulars see Bulletin Board.
SENIOR NIGHTS
TO DEMAND ALL
CLASSMPPORT
By MARGARET BRAV1NDER
Senior Vodvil is defunct, long
live Senior Night! The death ag¬
onies of the deceased were terri¬
ble; his loyal subjects could not
realize that a seemingly hard Fate
has given them a better king.
Long live Senior Night! Some
were glad to see him go; he was
a poor ruler, they said, and it was
much better for his subjects that
he was dead
Others wept for him, or more
properly speaking, howled for
him. There was much gnashing
of teeth, many tempers were torn
to shreds, but now he is dead,
may his bones and his soul rest
in peace and Senior Night reign
supreme. May the new king profit
by the mistakes of the old!
There are many loyal support¬
ers to rally around the standard
of the new monarch. One of
the most valuable of these is Miss
Stirling, teacher of dramatics;
another is Harold Butterworth,
chairman of the committee in
charge of the coronation of Senior
Night. Together with the other
members of the committee they
have been spending many weary
hours to select just the right
plays for that eventful night.
So far only one of the three
one-act plays has been selected,
but the other two will be chosen
this week. Tryouts for all three
will begin immediately, and those
who wish to try out should see
Miss Stirling at once.

NOISE IS MARK
OF PROGRESS IN
HEATING SYSTEM
Noise, much noise, noise like
unto many boilers, all kinds of
noise. Such has been the program
of the classes in the wings of the
Mann building for the last few
weeks. The teachers rage and
shout and gnash their teeth, but
all of no avail. The noise con¬
tinues.
But it is all in a good cause.
The school is enlarging its heat¬
ing and ventilating system. As
the old system had demonstrated
its inability to perform its duty,
it was decided to improve it.
The old fans were taken out
and larger new ones substituted.
The heating coils were also en¬
larged in order that the air might
be properly warmed.
With the new system Mr. Hunt¬
er figures that all the air in all
rooms will be changed every
three minutes. This is an almost
perfect condition and will be well
worth the inconvenience caused
by the change.
Especially in the. debating rooms
will the change be welcomed. The
debaters have been suffering from
the terrific heat, following the
learned discussions by King and
Hance and the rest of the worthy
orators, it is hoped that this con¬
dition will be much improved by
the change.
Starting the second semester off
with a bang, about fifty boys met
Tuesday, February 13, to organize an
Agricultural Club. An organization of
this kind has been needed for the past
two years to represent the agricul¬
tural students, but boys who had the
initiative to form a successful club
were lacking.
Mr. Carter of the agricultural de¬
partment spoke to the boys, and urged
them to organize into a strong body.
In this way they could gain recogni¬
tion in Southern California and good
speakers could be procured for their
meetings. Mr. Carter felt sure that a
permanent club could now be formed
as the foundation for this club has
been growing for the past two years.
A meeting without Mr. Kienholz
would seem strange, so the temporary
chairman called him for a word or
two. He promised his help and told
the boys that he knew of many agri¬
cultural men who would be glad to
come and speak to the club. As a fur¬
ther inducement to the club he said
they could make entries in the poul¬
try and agricultural shows.
A committee was chosen to draw
up the constitution for this club and
the following officers were chosen:
President — Frances Crookes.
Vice president — Donald McPherson.
Secretary — Harold Hart.
Treasurer — Andrew Silvas.
Mr. Kienholz and Mr. Carter were-
elected as advisors of the club. This
welcomed as an organization of P.H.S.

SCHOOL
Gymnastic Aggregation to Be
Entered in Competition;
Manager Wanted
An absolutely new activity has been
planned for P. H. S. this year in the
form of a gym team. Some of the city
schools have entered in this form of
competition for the past two years
and great spirit has been shown in
support of this line. There are several
men in school who are past masters
at bar work and experts in other
forms of gym work. Lee Davis was a
member of a crack bar team before
attending P. H. S., and Earl Stanley,
youthful brother of the famous
“Louis,” was a member of last year’s
championship team at. Manual Arts.
Less Creamer has been in several ex¬
hibitions and with Mr. Main as coach
a wonderful team should result. March
2 has been set for the first meet and
material is wanted at once.

NOTICE
Owing to the war and the re¬
sulting high cost of paper, time
and hot air, the CHRONICLE an¬
nounces that the liner ad rate
will be raised to /2c a word ef¬
fective this week. This is not a
monopoly to unlawfully boost the
prices, but a case of stern neces¬
sity.
LINCOLN HIGH.— The U. S. C.
Freshmen track team won from the
Lincoln High squad last Monday at
Bovard field to the tune of 68 to 40.
Notice of Change in Word Contest
* Things may come and things may go, but the Chronospel goes
* calmly on. Every week the same crowd comes down and get their
* tickets, then depart rejoicing. Why not have some new blood in the
* contest and make it more of a race? Out of 1700 students there surely
* must be some who would like to get a ticket to one of the local thea-
* ters. In order to liven up the contest this week and give everybody a
* chance the Chronospel has decided to change the contest a little as
* follows:
* IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR A TICKET YOU MUST FIND TWO
* WORDS WHICH APPEAR THREE TIMES OR MORE IN THE
* CHRONOSPEL ADS
О
FTHIS WEEK. THESE WORDS MUST CON-
* TAIN 4 LETTERS OR MORE. NO WORD WILL BE COUNTED
* WHICH APPEARS IN THE FIRM ADDRESS OR THE FIRM NAME
* OF ANY ADVERTISER. THE SAME WORD WILL NOT BE ACCEPT¬
ED MORE THAN THREE TIMES DURING THE ENTIRE CONTEST.
NO MISSPELLED WORDS WILL BE GIVEN OR COUNTED IN THE
STANDING IF FOUND.
Everybody get in and find the words. It ought not to take long to
find two such words, but any tickets left after the first day’s run will
be held over until given out. Please be able to show promptly the ads
where the words were found.
Those who eceived tickets last week were Anita Scott, Chester
Mulford, Keith Blanche, Lewis Lipsky, Harold Reitzell, Edwin Thayer,
Reul Robinson, S. M. Thompson, Lawrence Lester, and Elliot Rhodes.
The correct list of misspelled words is:
coupon — Clearwater. Is — Southern Cal. Music Co.
. complete — Long’s Music House. offer — Clearwater,
street — Sinclair.

P. H. S. came back strong in the
A. A. U. Relay Carnival held last Sat¬
urday and took first place from all
the prep schools in the South, inci¬
dentally adding a wonderful silver
cup to the ever-swelling Bulldog col¬
lection. In this first great meet in
the Southland, some three hundred
athletes of colleges and high schools
were entered. It was some meet and
P. H. S. emerged winners by the large
score of 13 points. Manual Arts won
second with 8 points.
Paddock, youthful demon speedster,
took the century from the touted Man¬
ual Arts darkhorse by a safe margin,
but in so doing was pressed to the
last' stride. At the fifty yard mark the
Manual star led by several yards but
did not have the speed to keep it. The
time was 10:3, owing to a wet track
and a stiff breeze blowing in the
wrong direction. The time for the
open hundred in which the best col¬
lege sprinters were entered was still
poorer, 11 seconds flat.
In the relays, Pasadena showed
even more class and the middle dis¬
tance runners convinced those present
quite conclusively that they were of
first place calibre. Herschler and Sil¬
vas were easily the stars in their
events and the headwork displayed
by these individuals was one of the
most noticeable and most talked of
incidents of the meet. The two-mile
four-man relay, in which the Bulldogs
came out on top, was a fast and inter¬
esting race. Herschler started run¬
ning at an easy stride, letting the field
pass im. The last half of his lap he
started coming and slipped by the
crowd to give Saunders, the second
man, a twenty-yard lead for P. H. S.
Saunders had no trouble holding his
own and Reeve’s long stride lost little
for the Bulldog team. Silvas likewise
ran a heady race and just when the
Manual bleachers were on their feet
cheering their man. decided it was all
wrong so began to liven his pace. This
little stride put him about fifteen
yards in front when he broke the
tape.
Thb one-mile four-man relay was
but a repetition of the other, Bedall
running in place of Reeve. Hirschfer
and Silvas ran the same heady race
and Saunders and Bedall ran two fast
laps, Pasadena winning in the same
spectacular manner.
The one-mile eight-man event was a
fast race the whole way through and
probably the most exciting race of the
day. Paddock started, giving the next
man a good lead. Collins held up, Per¬
kins came next, then Anderson, Fran-
ciscus, Wright, Bedall, and Wilke,
who came in with a whirlwind finish,
but not quite fast enough to beat out
Manual Arts.
This gave Pasadena 13 points and
Manual 8. Beside the big silver cup,
gold medals were presented to the dif¬
ferent members of the P. H. S. squad,
Herschler, Silvas and Saunders tak¬
ing two each, and Paddock, Reeve and
Bedall one apiece.
The Relay Carnival was a wonder¬
fully accurate prediction of what the
Bulldogs intend continuing the whole
season through. Also it was a good
way of comparing teams. P. H. S. sure
looks like a winner. Some team.
