Another victory was added recently to the long list won this year when the S. C. tennis team defeated the contestants from Preston, Logan and h.orth Cache at the high school day tournment held at the U. A. C. By virture of this victory the local lads were permitted to enter the contests held at the University of Utah last riday.

Tlje awards to the tennis men will e made later due to the fact that this is the first year in the history of the school that many laurels have been n in this branch of activity.

She was carried about two rods by the force of the stream and went under a small culvert near Arthur Petersens residence, before she was rescued by the two Scouts. Mrs. Nuhn arrived on the scene immediately after the rescue and and save for a few bruises scratches about the head and the loss of breath the baby was not seriously injured. - - M. I. A.

I. A. Field day which was held in Hyrum Saturday was a success from the start to the finish. The large crowd that attended the various activities of the day seemed enthused and well pleased with the attractions presented. The morning session, held in the Third ward chapel, offered a display of some of the best talent in the valley in the lines of chorus work and public speaking. Of the four choruses that entered the contest the one from Wellsville Second ward under the direction of W. J. Allen was awarded first place and the chorus from Hyrum Second ward, lead by Mrs. George Lemon, received second honors. The first place honors were hotly contested for and the judge had to resort to technical points in order to make his judgement. In the public speaking contest Miss Gwen Roueche of Nibley and Miss Reta Hill of Wellsville tied for first but when the officers found that only one could enter the finals at Logan the judge decided in favor of Miss Roueche.

Mentor Accepts Position at Local School Athletics at the South Cache high school for next year was assured of being in good hands the fore part of this week when Burns Crookston, noted B. Y. C. mentor, signed the dotted line and accepted the position left vacant when Jack Croft signed to coach at Davis high. Coach Crookston is one of the best qualified athletic directors that can be found in the west. He has received training under such famous men as Rockne, Stagg and Meanwell. While at the universtiy of Illinois he worked shoulder to shoulder with the greatest football star, Red Grange. The six years of experience at the B. Y. C. has given Mr. Crookston a world of training in coaching teams of various sorts and in developing physically fit young men. The new mentor has already expressed his desire to put physical education at the local school on a plan that it has never reached before. He aims to follow the old Greek method of developing every able bodied boy. Instead of specially training a few he intends to give every one a chance at football, basketball and track and the work in physical education next year will consist of training in those three branches of sport. Coach Croft has made an enviable record at the high school this year. His basketball team won honors that placed it among the leading teams of the state. The material that Mr. Crookston finds will not be so promising as this years team due to the graduation of several of the star players, yet it appears now that due to the fact that one of the best coaches in the state has been employed that next years athletic teams will hold their own with any contenders. Miss Norma Smith of Nephi, who has ' been teaching for the last two years at Mt. Pleasant, has accepted the position in the Domestic Science department which has been held by Miss Mary Urie. Miss Smith is a graduate of the U. A. C. and comes highly recommended by Miss Jean Cox and Miss Alice Kewley of the U. A.

The Thundering Herd is Coming to The Rex Good news for local film fans! The Thundering Herd, Paramounts celluloid version of the famous Zane Grey novel, is headed this way and will make its local debut at the Rex Theatre next Monday and Tuesday. It is a romance of the Old West that will carry one from the pavements of today to the trails of yesterday, from the limousines of this period to the covered wagons of 1876. All the thrills and adventurous action of fifty years ago live again in this glorious epic story which was filmed under the direction of William K. Howard. The picture deals with two of the many caravans of pioneers that started west to hunt buffalo and establish themselves in the new land.
