HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL
OPENED
Defeat Reform Sch Il Team
>.WOOdbu m Versus
Juniors

their football season Friday, when
they met and defeated the reform
school team on their own grounds
with a score OF 3S to 0.
The reform school boys put up a
stubborn fight, but they were out
classed by the high school, and were
always driven steadily back until the
ball was carried over the goal or
Ercel Kay sent 1t sailing between
the goal posts with one of his ia
nous drop kicks.
The reform school only made yard
age twice, and that in the second
half when they seemed to rally and
sent several of their players through
the Salem line.
The game was only practice
game for the high school, to see what
their men could do in a game, and
was not entirely satisfactory to their
coach, Frank Grannis. He was not
satisfied with the team work, and,
as he said. It was good at first, but
after they got started they kind of
went to pieces. But after he has
seen them play he expects during the
next week to remedy these defects,
and when they play the Portland
high school next Friday to have a
decided Improvement over the team
work OF yesterday. The team has a
good coach. and 1t is their own fault
If they do not get in some good work
this season.
The players in yesterdays game
were shown uD in good style. Per-
ry Jones, at fullback, was always in
the fight, and easily made his yard
age whenever he had the ball. Carl
Gabrielson, at left half. proved one
of the fastest men on the team, and
was not easily downed, and r. Niles,
at right half. was not slow in break
ing through the line and down the
field
Lloyd Farmer Is the best quarter
back that the high school has ever
had, and yesterday showed his abili-
ty at running team, by his cool
ness and general good, swift playing |
Ercel Kay and l., Smith, as ends, |
easily managed their positions, and |
all plays headed for them. |
The reform school also showed up
a good little team, although they |
were greatly outweighed by the high |
school. Their team work was good, |
considering that they have no coach |
and their limited time to practice.
The credit of this is due to "Fitz"
their captain and man
nger. He plays quarterback, and is
right where he ought to be In every |
play, is swift and good at tackling.
oarke, at fullback, is another OF |
their good men.
Paul Miller and Earl Eyre held |
down the positions OF tackle. and |
made some good end runs, and Law |
renee Hofer and w. Barton took care |
Of the guard positions In the first |
half, and the substitutes, George |
Cartwright and Eugene Rullfson |
played these positions well In the |
second half
Glen Niles Is again at his old posi- |
lion of center. and with his 220 |
pounds put mp solid front through
out the game, and made some tack
ling 10 be proud OF. Bautman, at |
right end, was strong at tackllng and |
Their lineup was as follows Pc
ierson, oenter; Loper, right guard;
Rice, left guard; Slayer, right |
tackle; Ruant. left tackle; kaufman,
right end: Potter. left end; Fitzpat-
rick, quarterback; McLure, right |
half; Rount, left half; oarke, full
back.
The game was entirely one-sided,
and consisted mostly Of line bucks |
ana end runs. Puntlng was seldom
resorted 10,
The kick-offs and puntlng was done /
by Carl Gabrlelson, except the short |
quarter back punts and the drop |
kicking by Ercel Kay.
The Woodburns play the William |
,tte juniors this afternoon.
