This was the signal for the rest Of
the group to do likewise. and in a
jiffy they all drew out large. red
bandannas, concealed about their
persons up to this point, and began
to weep mock tears OF sorrow.
Miss Edwards was not slow to ap-
prehend the meaning OF the red
handkerchiefs and instantly the mock
sorrow was turned to joy. the fair
lawyer entering into the spirit of
gladness and evincing appreciation OF
her friends effort to make her GO

Every one extended his wishes for
her future success in her chosen pro-

little things designed 10 make her

BY the above score the Commercial
association football team defeated the
'Beetgrowers" on their home ground
yesterday The solitary touchdown OF
the game was made during the last
half on a long end run by Herbert
Thompson, half back for Pendleton.
Shortly before this the ball had been
taken within one yard OF the La
Grande line by the Pendleton team.
However, the La Grande line then
held like n wall. and for three straight
downs Pendleton's best line plungers
could not gain a foot. After losing
IT on downs, it was punted back to-
wards the center by La Grande, and
soon after being regained by PendIe-
ton Thompson got around the end for
his run. A goal was kicked by
Storie.
During the first half OF the game
neither team was able to score. How
ever, superior playing was done by
Pendleton. and never during the game
was their goal In danger. Although
the La Grande eleven outweighed
their visitors by nearly 20 pounds to
the man, the superior training and
team work OF the latter was too much
for them.
The following was the lineup for
Pendleton: Coon, C; Baker. and Hos.
