Atillttnt Editor- 0ret Muk '01. Ltttl Editor Alice Erini '01. In our last Issue of the BULLETIN the statement was made that the Impend- ng contest between DuBols and our lllirh School seemed Hn assured certain ty. We were Indued to make thnt statement on account of the favorable conditions existing at that time. But later Intelligence from the seat of oper ations necessitates tho statement of the unwelcome fact that DuBols, for rea sons best known to herself, has declined to meet us and measure strength in the points upon which they wore chal lenged. And now that negotiations have been brought to a close, In justice to our selves and for the Information of those Interested In our work, we feel It to bo our duty to make known the facts and stato the circumstances per taining to the case at hand. In issuing this challenge to DuBols our Society was not Impelled by any thirst for glory, but was actuated in Its issuunco by circumstances which had their beginning nearly two years ago, when a challenge was Issued to us by DuBols at a time when It was necessary for us to decline the courtesy. At that tlmo our commencement exercises were not far distant and our spare time was utilized in a manner that would not permit us to give the contest the atten tion it required. But we promised that at some future time the privilege of meeting us in the arena of ability would bo'willingly extended. Hence, being free and unincumbered by former conditions, and desirous of returning the courtesy extended us, we Issued our challengo to DuBols to meet us In a joint contest to consist of ora tion, debate, declamation and piano solo. To this proposition DuBols re plied she would accept, providing we pay expenses of their contestants, bear the expenses of her committee on ar rangements, defray tho expenses of tho judges and substitute a violin for piano. To three of the conditions we readily agreed, but on the fourth we would not, as we reserved tho right to say upon what we wished to contest. Hence, upon our refusing to allow DuBols to dictate all the terms, she refused to take part. While we are somewhat disappointed at the turn matters have taken, yot it Is but another manifestation of that pusillanimous spirit which has charac terized all her actions with hor neigh boring towns. The rodomontade role she assumes in her dealings is one emi nently suited to her, and while we would not liko to assign her actions to that spirit Ill-fitting to one who seeks fame on the battloflold, yet she has not given a satisfactory reason for hor de clining our challenge. So now, fooling ourselves free from the obligation resting upon us, we shall direct our attention to other fields and seek laurels from those more worthy to compete with us in a tost of ability. x The much-heralded and long-looked-for convention of the Bachelors was bold lost Friday evening under the au spices of the Literary Society. Long before the time set for the opening, visitors began making their appear ance, so that by 3.15 the assembly hall was well fillud. While it would require too much spaco to give the program in detail, yot it will suffice to say that it amply fulfilled expectations. The fea ture of the program was the music and singing which brought the convention to a close. The song was written ex pressly for the occasion. x The pupils of the higher rooms were treated Thursday morning with a very Instructive address on Alaska by Prof. A. J. Davis, principal 'of the Clarion Normal. If nppoarances count for aught, the Spinsters must have been deeply im pressed by the eloquence of the Bache lors.

Frank Bohren, captain of the "In dlan" foot ball team challenged the foot ball team of DuBols, which claims the championship of Central Pennsylvania. uaptaiivHonren stated a few facts con cerning tho standing of DuBeis team and "Indians," and theOcmnVrcomraent- Ing on the challenge made false state nient, as it has been known to do before. Why not accept the challeng? That will settle the cbampionihip. A mem ber of tho "Indian" team requsted that tho following be published in answer to the Courier falsehoods : "As to tho "Indians" playing three games with the "Imperials," that is wrong. They only played two games with them, one at Reynoldsvllle and one in DuBols. The first game was played in DuBols and the Courier states neither side scored, but did not stab) that the "Indians" made at least two touchdowns, but the DuBols referee would not count them; but we are not quitters, so we kept DuBols from scor ing, which with the aid of the referee was a bard thing to do. When the "Im perials" came to Reynoldsvllle they were treated like gentlemen and were given a fair shake, but seeing they could not win, ran In some ringers they had brought along for that purpose, think ing we had the best team we could get together, Dul they were mistaken for we put in some new players and ran the score up to 23-0. As to rowdyism on the grounds, neither team took part in it, nor had anything to do with it. St. Marys issued a challenge and we accepted it and arranged to play on election day, but some of our players could not go, therefore we arranged to have them come to Reynoldsvllle on Thanksgiving, but on account of our grounds being floodod we had to cancel the date with that team. The statement that Punxsutawney offered to give us 950.00, like most of the Courier's article, Is false.
