HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS
GIVEN AN INSPIRATION
Enthusiastic Bonfire and Rally Held
on Campus on Eve Of Important
Struggle With Weston Normal
Result Wiyl Have Bearing on Pen
dleton's Struggle for Championship

Pendleton's high school football
eleven got its orders" as it were, last
evening when a big bonfire rally was
held at the high school. Represen-
tatives of the various interests which
are most enthusiastically supporting
the team spoke encouragement of the
struggle before the high school lads.
Speeches were made at the rally by
Superintendent LAnders, Leon Cohen.
Roy Raley, Cressy Sturgis, Harold
Warner and Miss Ruth Gibson, each
OF whom urged the boys to do their
utmost for the honor of the school.
Principal A. c. Hampton presided
over the rally,
Parade the Streets.
Following the big stunts at the
high school the members Of the team,
the high school band, and great
crowd Of alumni and roOters formed
a big parade down through the busi-
ness section Of town. Hundreds of
spectators Joined in the enthusiasm.
Today's game will have a bearing
on Pendleton's contention for the
state high school championship Of
Oregon only in this much, that fol-
lowers Of the game may by seeing the
struggle put up by the locals against
the heavier and older eleven from
Weston Normal, may form some idea
OF what may be expected from our
fellows when they 90 up against one
Of the stronger high school teams.
Weston this year has a strong team,
wei coached by a Harvard man, and
a team made up OF men who have
played before.
On the other hand Pendleton's
eleven. it would seem, is lighter,
slightly. than last year, and this is
the first season for several Of the
youngsters. although they have, in
more instances than one made the
team over men Of experience. Ex-
cepting Baker. scarcely man can
be called veteran, and Bake" has
only played two years.
McDnl VIII BE Missed
Also the locals are crippled some
what by the loss Of Halfback McDill,
but Bean, who has been taken back
from the line has done fine work in
practice and II is believed will make
an excellent man, although the line
has necessarily been somewhat weak
ened by his removal.
During the past week the team has
worked hard and fast, and It's prac-
tice last night showed It. The boys
have been developing their lighter
plays. practicing the forward pass,
ond doing stunts in the kicking line.
as against Weston today they expect
to be forced 20 some evtent at least,
