Ii-#l LOOK OUT for the hounds! Unmuzzled Item out March 27. Snappy stories, classy cuts. j/VOL. V— NO. 6 PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL, MARCH 21, 1917, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA PRICE 5 CENTS P.H.S. SPEEDSTERS CRUSH ARTISANS IN BIG DUAL MEET Toiler Track Ex-Stars Mangled by Bulldog Cinder Path Squad; “Glass-eye Ligda Fails to Produce a Squad Capable of Smashing P. H. S.; Fast Time Made AT LAST! THE MIGHTY MANUAL ARTS TEAM HAS FALLEN. For two consecutive years State Champions, for three years undefeated in a dual meet, the Manual gang journeyed over to P. H. S. and took a big league tum¬ ble before Coach Main’s track stars to the harmonious rhapsody of 65 to 57. The Manual bunch were not so used to taking spills, as a result they made' considerable noise — so much in fact the racket was heard away back in Kansas. The speedy Bulldog stars ran rings around the Toiler crowds, and at no time during the entire contest dtf the balance of points rest with Coach Lidga’s men from the Angel City. Paddock, the youtaful speedster of Pasadena, made good all his promises to win or die in the attempt and cleaned up both the 220 and 100 yard dashes, in both cases winning out over the touted Manual Arts hero, Woods, by several yards. The century was the race of the meet and the ^Mme equal to the. world’s junior rec- ^ord. There are only four men in the whole country besides Charlie Pad- dock who can step off 100 yards in9-4. The time for the 220 was 22-1, also some time for a prep athlete. Pasadena won nine out of a possible fourteen firsts during the meet and several little surprises were pulled off. Fouche mussed up all calculations by taking the discus, Mitchell placing second. None of the P. H. S. dopesters gave the local boys more than four points in this event and the winning of eight was quite a pleasant shock. The wearers of the crimson came through quite above expectations in the high jump also, and Captain Jaco- mini and Whit Reeves tied for first place at 5 ft. 7 in. All along in the meet the P. H. S. men did better than usual in the field events. Schlaude- man took first place in the pole vault and Wilke and Kemp tied for third place. The height was an even 10 ft. Burton took third in the javelin, Perry third in the broad jump, but the M. A. aggregation annexed all nine points in the shot put. This was expected. ’ On the cinder path were most of Pasadena’s points and she got them. In the 880 yard dash Herschler took first and Saunders and Reeve came in respectively second and third. The 440 was a repetition of the 880, three Pasadena aspirants taking the scores. Silvas won this event in 55-1 and Wright and Bedall were not much in the rear. Bedall led the Manual hero of this event at a 220 pace for about half the race then dropped back, giv¬ ing Silvas and Wright the lead. He still had some stuff left and by put- ''Шь all he had into Si-lltiLWl third. SHvas ran a heady race from gun to tape. The mile showed points for Pasa¬ dena at all turns in the race. Reeves, Silvas and Herschler, after the first lap, led by a safe margin for the re¬ maining part of the race. At the end Reeves slowed up and all the locals finished neck and neck. However, Herschler was disqualified for some technicality and a city man was given the point. UNMUZZLED IS IlEMASfiOES TO PRESS Less Than One Week Before Appearance of Uncen¬ sored Edition of Item 500 TICKETS ASSURED Captain Jacomini’s first in the high sticks cinched the meet and the relay was not necessary but was run any¬ way for, the sake of the bleachers. Manual took this by an easy lead as was figured before the meet. It was as Coach Main said, “Get the meet cinched before the relay or lose it.” The results of this contest broke the pride of the Toilers and put P. H. S. first in the list of probable State Champions. The Manual protegies for the past few years have been consid¬ ered as first in cinderpath circles and it was only this set of athletes that beat the Bulldogs last year in the State Carnival. A fairly good crowd witnessed the struggle, and it was a happy looking bunch that lugged home the crimson banners, a long faced set that migrat¬ ed back to the home of the Toilers. The visitors’ fair escorts who wan¬ dered about the local campus waiting for their men to emerge from the club house were indeed studies in ex¬ pression. The callers put up a good clean brand of sport which made the meet doubly interesting to all con¬ cerned. Captain Jacomini, Reeves and Pad- dock were the high point winners for P. H. S. and Heberlein scored high for Manual Arts. All the races were fast and not a- mark made in the field events went below tae average. The results of the meet were as follows : Discus — Fouche (P.), 1st; Mitchell (P.), 2nd; Blewett (M.A.), 3rd. Dis¬ tance, 108 ft. Vz in. High jump — Reeves (P.) and Jaco¬ mini (P.), tied for 1st; Wright (M.A.), 3rd.

Six days more until the Un¬ muzzled Edition of the Item is out. And with five hundred first payment tickets sold it looks as if those who are not the proud possessors of these pasteboards would not get that maga¬ zine that combines the wit of Life, the spice of Vogue, and the piquancy of Town Topics with the atmosphere of P. H. S. With the contributors’ list already filled with the names of the best authors of the school, the space allotted to cuts filled with snappy pic¬ tures, and the joke department crowd¬ ed with laughs, the magazine prom¬ ises to be one that will be hard to beat. Such titles as “It’s All Wrong, Gang,” “The Family,” “The Soul of the School,” “The Atlases of P. H. S.,” and many more only give a hint of the variety of thrillers that are to be contained in the one little book. And the famous authors who wrote these: Margaret Braivnder, Anita Scott, “Charlie” Fuessle, “Pipp” Popenoe, “Blackie” Hosier, Lyle Hance, Howell Smith, Jack Benton, and many more of the best the school can produce. One of the features of the entire book are the jokes, personals, chest¬ nuts, or whatever one may wish to call them. Compiled by the leading jokologists of the school, “each and everyone” of these specimens of the wit and humor of P. H. S. students is guaranteed to produce a laugh. They are all there from the latest Ford story down the line to the most an¬ cient of topics about the young man caller. See for yourself. And the cartoons! Young McBride, the Freshman wonder cartoonist, spent the major portion of his study periods for two weeks concocting cartoons for the Unmuzzled. And Viola House has some neat little sketches that are worth the price of the whole book. Then there are the pictures oi some of the prominent personages of P. H. S., each one with a little life history story. And the countenances of some of these embarrassed individuals are really true to life. Thanks to Warner and Henshaw, the official photograph¬ ers, and the people whom they “shot,” there will be some of the best pictures taken at P. H. S. Then the cover design. An oppor¬ tunity to get a picture of the P. H. S. emblem to put up over your desk as a source of constant inspiration during those long years of study. And it’s another inducement to the Freshmen to get a copy of this Item as the bull¬ dog that graces the cover is the work of Norah Bangs, a member of the claes of 1920. And all this done up in a neat book with the bulldog on the cover and the rest inside, delivered next Tuesday, the 27th, in the main hall absolutely free to everyone with a red ticket and ten cents in cash.

Therefore on March 9th and 16th, Mr. Grubb ex¬ plained how to plant and core for the valuable tubers, besides giving a prac- i tical demonstration of planting on the 16th. Mr. Grubb is traveling for the South¬ ern Pacific to teach the people how to grow better crops of potatoes. While he is in Pasadena he will also give a public demonstration of potato plant¬ ing on a vacant lot across from the High School. Mr. Grubb contends that the present high price of the common Irish variety of tubers is the natural result of a short crop. The agriculture department has just recently received a check for $264, in payment of the orange crop, which shows that the orange trees are more than simply ornaments. The money belongs to the Board of Education but will be spent on the grounds and for the benefit of the agriculture depart¬ ment. S. C. N. S. DISPATCHES 1 Southern California News Service SAN DIEGO HIGH SCHOOL.— By passing the stage wops bill, the Ex Committee of this school authorized the payment of 15% of the net pro¬ ceeds of each dramatic program. It is unnecessary to add that the number of would-be stage wops increased as if by magic. FIGHTING AL IS GHOSEN FOR ARMY WORK-IN EAST Fighting Al Goodale, of foot¬ ball fame, picked on the All- Southern Second Eleven and first choice in the county for the posi¬ tion of tackle, has left Pasadena to join the United States Army. After two months’ service there he goes to West Point, having re¬ cently passed the required exam¬ inations and been appointed. This is a chance that very few fellows get and Al is to be congratulated on his good luck and ability. Goodale served for a period of some few months in the navy be¬ fore finishing up his course in P. H. S., but decided to continue the training here before advanc¬ ing further. This would have been his last year here and before tak¬ ing the West Point examinations he intended to graduate with the class of '17. If Al shows ail the old fight and spirit in the service displayed by him on the gridiron, he is bound for the top. At the present time the U. S. is in need of good men in the army and they surely got one in Alvin Goodale. TRACKMEN MEET BEACHCOMBERS IN COUNTY MEET All aboard for Long Beach! Get your tickets for the big Annual County Track Meet, next Saturday at Long Beach, where Pasadena, Whittier and Long Beach tangle in a big fight for first county honors. Last year Pasa¬ dena won this affair with hands down, being at least twenty-five points ahead of her nearest competitor, Long Beach. Whittier loafed along through the meet without grabbing a single point. After having defeated Manual, State Champions, the Bulldog cinder artists have a mighty fine chance of cleaning all other schools concerned in the annual affair. Long Beach won from P. H. S. in a <jual meet, but later this victory was annulled, because the Green and Gold bunch ran two ineligi¬ ble players. In this coming meet the Bulldogs, under the leadership of lanky Captain Jacomini, will be going in full swing, and should clean up everything in sight. PROF. SPERRY TALKS ON NATIONAL PARKS Man Who Spent Twelve Years in Glacier Park Tells of Wonders Beautifully Colored Stereop- ticon Slides Make Talk More Interesting “See America First” has long been a much heard cry, and most people have realized in a vague sort of way that there was some scenry worth seeing if one happened to have a couple of months and a half million dollars and nothing to do with them. But the fact that the greatest scenery in the whole world was in easy reach was comparatively unknown around P. H. S. until last Wednesday, when Prof. Lymon B. Sperry told of the Na¬ tional Parks, those wonderful play¬ grounds which Uncle Sam has set apart for the benefit of the American people. Mr. Sperry also showed beautifully colored stereopticon slides of some of the largest parks and reserves, in¬ cluding Yellowstone, the Grand Can¬ yon, the Petrified Forest, Crater Lake and other of the western parks. He concluded with Glacier Park, one of the newest tracts to be set apart by the Government and in many ways the most wonderful of them all. TRAGK ASSEMBLY IS FULL Of ENTHUSIASM With the band playing, “Willy” Halsted’s bunch of trained noise pro¬ ducers going full tilt, and several bud¬ ding orators from the track team prov¬ ing that they were better tracksters than speakers, the first Real Assem¬ bly in a long time was held Friday in preparation for Saturday’s meet with the Toilers. Captain Vic Jacomini, Cliff Burton and Charlie Paddock were the fortun¬ ate members of the team to develop their mind at the expense of the school, “Whit” Reeves being disquali¬ fied because of talking entirely too much about the extraordinary length of his lower limbs^ot a former assem¬ bly. Everyone seemed to have a sort of premonition that, with all the spirit loose around P. H. S., Manual was doomed to fall. Which they did. Since Eve was made from a rib of Adam, woman can truthfully be said to be a side issue. — Ex.

Weird Make-ups on Straw Hat Day * Many and weird were die costumes which appeared on the scenry * last Friday in honor of Straw Hat Day, which was called to prepare * to take revenge on Manual for what happened at Washington Park last * fall. Driven nearly insane by the multitude of dazzling combinations of * apparel, the judges of the Chronicle contest have finally decided on * those who celebrated the day in the most fitting styles. These more * fortunate ones have now but to see Hughie Wynn and claim the theater * tickets offered as prizes. But not so easy — they will have to read some * more before they know that they are they. * Although straw hats were all that were required, many of the more * enterprising ones prepared their entire outer coverings in harmony with * the spirit of the day. Considerable noise was made while “Willy” Hal- * sted was preparing the rooting section for Manual, but this was as * absolute silence compared with the racket made by certain of the cos- * tumes. * And even the girls lost enough of their maidenly dignity to allow * them to appear under huge sunbonnets of varying model and color, * though predominately a beautiful shade of green in honor of the good * Saint Pat. It sure looked good to see the girls get in and show the * track men that they were behind them as well as the boys. * Those more fortunate ones whose efforts wefe crowned with suc- * cess are: Barbara Loomis, Marion Bentz, Marjorie Warner, Dorothy * Jenkins, Eunice Perkins, Marian Gibbs, Eugenia Ong, Margaret Mit- * chell, Frances Bartlett, Sara Grassie, Frances Ledyard, Jimmy Hicks, * Douglas McKenzie, Earl Jardine, Wyllys Halsted, Russel Barnes, Ralph Hosier, Brooks Gifford, Fred Loomis, and Joe Shawhan. Representatives From Seven Los Angles High Schools Discuss Plan . MATCHES ARRANGED Long Beach, Whittier, South Pasadena, Santa Ana and Chaffee Meet By RALPH HOSLER With representatives present from seven Los Angeles County High Schools, a tennis conference was held last Thursday afternoon at Pasadena High School, for the purpose of form¬ ing a tennis league of the different Interurban high schools. Long Beach, Whittier, South Pasadena, Santa Ana, Chaffee Union and Santa Monica sent delegates to the Cardinal institution, and very satisfactory results were ob¬ tained. Each school is- to play six matches, three at home and three away. This evens up things and makes matters square to all teams concerned. Due to the tact and diplomacy of Captain and Manager Francie Ledyard, Pasadena High School will have a dandy little tennis schedule this season. The lanky Captain arranged for Long Beach, the Crimson’s deadly rival, Whittier and South Pasadena matches to be played at home. These three teams have some of the greatest ten¬ nis sharks in High School ranks, and a match at home will be decidedly ad¬ vantageous to the Bulldog racquet weilders. Long Beach has lost her star, Rus¬ sel Alder. Alder was the only man who was able to capture a set from the Crown City stars, and as last year Pasadena walloped the Salteaters twice by scores of 6 to 1, matters look fairly nice in that neck' of the woods. After Whittier had cleaned up every¬ thing in sight in her end lof the league, Pasadena happened along and stepped on them, to the tuneful little melody of 7 to 0. And that shows up the deal in that direction. As yet, the Bulldog court men have not tangled with South Pasadena, but there is no doubt that Captain Ledyard and his followers dan defeat them. Pasadena High School has a mighty strong team this year. Captain Fran¬ cie Ledyard is a player who takes a running leap at everything and fairly smashes his way to a victory. Led¬ yard was a big point winner for P. H. S. last year, when his team won the Interurban championship of L. A. County. “Steamboat Steve” Horrell is of just the opposite type; playing a steady, consistent game at all times. Big Steve can always be depended upon for a long string of points. Bob Allen, who with Captain Ledyard was runner up in the State doubles title, is playing a star game this year. Allen is a big point winner, playing the placing game. Boh nailed a big bunch of digits to the mast for Pasadena last year. Lyle Hackney is a combi¬ nation of all three. He plays, and plays hard from start to finish. Hack¬ ney’s favorite style is of the long, driving variety. An exhibition match will he ar¬ ranged in the near future between two of the nation’s greatest players, probably Church, Throckmorton, Mc- Loughlin or Bundy. The schedule: Long Beach at P. H. S . May 12 Whittier at P. H. S . May 5 South Pasadena at P. H. S . May 31 Santa Ana at Santa Ana . April 14 Chaffee|Union|at|Chaffee|Union, Apr. 28 Santa Monica at Santa Monica — un¬ arranged. (Interstate News Service) PHOENIX HIGH SCHOOL, Phoenix, Ariz. — Loud Sox Day, to arouse en¬ thusiasm over the Mesa-Phoenix base¬ ball game, success. Every hue, shape and fantastic design that would appeal to a futurist was evident, and the loud sox were not confined entirely to the boys, for many of the gentler sex ap¬ peared on the campus with sox of variegated hue, that made the male contingent green with envy. * * * * * * * LOST — Some scandal pictures.
