ter 4 run OF s5 yards. For few min
utes the crowd was wild with enthus-
lasn and the high schools human To-
ccn,otIpe received an ovation that
could be heard as far south as Saddle
mountain. Flavel tried and missed for
the goal. Store, 100.
The visitors here made a determined
stand and fought every inch Of the
ground. on the kickoff Mathena fun
bled, bur Astoria did not lose the ball.
Flavel, Wood and Barker battered
away at the Portland line for telling
gains. and on the So-yard line Wood
went around left end for a5 yards,
Flavel tried an end run. but was neatly
tackled, Mayo went around for two
yards more. and then Flavel walloped
through center for the third touch

In the next few minutes play there
was more If the spectacular. Little
Jumbo" Holmes securing the ball on
Portlana's kickoff, made a neat run
that netted 40 yards, and moment
later Wood went through the field for
a touchdown. His run was fully So
var Is and was the result of the clever
interference given him. Flavelx kick
ed the goal. Score. 21-o. Ns
In spite of the successful onslaughts
Of taeir opponents. the visitors did not
lose heart. but continued to contest
every inch of territory. The offens-
i've work Of the Astorians was too
much for them, however, and 1t was
not long until Portland's goal line was
again in danger. Flavel had repeat |
edly worked fake center-buck that
always netted yardage. and just before
the call Of time he tried the fake again,
Starting what looked like a buck
through center, Flavel passed the ball
back to Quarterback Holmes, who
went around an unprotected end for 80
yards, landing the ball on Portland's
5-yard line. The call of time prevent
ed another score.
The game was clean throughout and
there was none OF the disagreeable
sauabbling that has served TO bring
football into disrepute. The visitors,
though very much surprised at the re-
suit took their defeat philosophically
and listened good-naturedly to the
utterances OF the high
school partisans.
The local players are entitled to
much credit for the excellent game put
up by them. The East Astoria ath-
letes can always be depended upon TO
practice faithfully, but it has seldom :
before happened that the men from the
central portion of the city have dis
played the same regard for success.
Their good form yesterday was due in
no small measure to the coaching of
George Mains who was highly pleased
