East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-16

But to Penland, Pendleton's lef
end, one OF the biggest bouquets
should be thrown. AS a sure, ag
gressive little player he has never
been beaten and his part in the for.
ward pass plays was perfect. The
forward pass is hard and dangerou:
play, but Penland never failed tc
catch the ball and net a good gain
1t is too bad that he never got fully
away from the crowd, for II he had
not one of the Baker eleven could
have caught him.
Reeves Was Hurt.
The grittiest game played by any
man In either team yesterday was
that by Reeves, left half for PEN
dleton. Playing hard all the time,
he was In every move until he became
hurt, then, though weak from his in
jury and shaking so that he could
hardly stand he played the game un-
I'll he could stand 1t no longer, be-
ing carried from the field to the hos
pital. The game Reeves played was
football, and by staying in the game
as he did he showed a spirit that is
seldom equalled on a collegiate grid
iron.
Others who deserve credit in YES
terdays game are Means the other
half, Euster, right end, and Bean,
who made a good center.
New PLAYS Won.
1t was the new plays, principally
the forward pass, in which the team
had been trained by Coach Lytle, that
won the game for Pendleton. Com
pared with the new tricks the old
line bucking and end runs are slow.
Had the local team played a more
open game than they did the score
would have been better still. In the
old style game Baker City outplayed
the Pendleton team, though they
would not have done so had Pendle-
ton been looking for that kind of a
game.
That the score of 10 to represents
about the respective merits of the
two teams is admitted by the Baker
ties and seemingly there was no COM
plant regarding the score.
RoOters Were Active.
Never before were the rooters for
the Pendleton team out in force as
they were yesterday and the fact that
hearty support was given the team
helped to win the game. The rooters
had been well organized by Prof.
Hampton. principal of the school
and Harold Warner, chief of the root
er brigade. During the intermission
between halves the field was taken
by the rooters who went through va
rious evolutions that were interesting
to the spectators.
Team Made Money.
At the game yesterday there was
500 paid admissions. according to
Cress Sturgis. manager of the team
and the local boys made about 500
more than the expenses of the game.
This will materially help in making
the present football season a finan-
cial success.
For Thanksgiving Game.
On Thanksgiving day the high !
school team will play against the
eleven from the Hill military acad-
emy of Portland and it promises to
De even more interesting game than
he one yesterday, through the fact !
hat the Portland boys also play the
more open game, made possible un- !
der the new rules.
"The game yesterday was fine
raining for the team," says DR..
4ytle, the coach. at was the first
eal game the boys have had this
'!ear and it will help them for the
day game. If they had
lad the advantage of more games or
ven of a second team we could have
lone much better. We will now get
he team into the best possible shane
or the next game. The Pendleton
cam Is one of the best high school
levens ever produced and besides
hat the men are above the average
personally all being good, clean.
