squad returned from Chelan yester-
day with a bunch of scalps and the
championship of the upper river
country. Chelan had clean record
until Saturday and the decisive score
of % to showed the superiority of
the home team in all parts of the
game. The game was arranged with
the understanding that Chelan would
play several men who were not high
school students, so that the team
that faced the Big Red Apple boys
was their equal in weight and ex-
perience. 1t was a contest of the
old style football against the new,
and the new won. Forward passes
and open formations were consistent
ground gamers for Wenatchee, be-
ing directly responsible for three
touchdowns.
The day was ideal for football.
Chelan won the toss and Wenatchee
kicked off to them. For the first ten
minutes the ball stayed in the mid
die of the field. eagle and Johnson
tried repeatedly to negotiate Wenat-
chee's line but Chelan could not gain
consistently and they were forced to
punt time and again. The line was
solid and the ends and backs blocked
all of the open work before it was
started.
The first touchdown came on for
ward pass from Foster to Lake, who
made 25 yard run through a bro
ken field and planted the ball behind
the posts The second touchdown
came soon after on a long forward
pass for 20 yards by Foster to
Deitch, who carried the ball to the
20 yard line. Right Half Koehler
covered the remaining distance on
a cross buck, leaving a trail of Che
Ian players behind him in the dust

arm and lodging tactics to perfec

would have been much higher but
for the fact that Quarterback Lake
was trying out several new plays and
formations to be used on Spokane
when Wenatchee plays for the cham
pionship of eastern Washington on
Thanksgiving Day.
The team has had a remarkable
development this season, considering
| the fact that the season was started
with only three W men. A week
ago the team showed it's superiority
over the fast Coeur d'Alene team In

sidering the fact that Spokane high
was unable to score upon them. be-
ing beaten va score of 16 to 0.
Wenatchee high is represented by
the cleanest team in its history, and
| it is up to the city to show its ap-
| probation of the stand the boys
| have taken in entirely eliminating
the professional spirit, the "get-your-
| board-and-room = If you stay-until-
Thanksgiving" attitude which has
added materially to some teams in
the past. The boys say if they can
not win with legitimate men, they
will take defeat.
Reception.

deserve every token of praise that
was given them. The entertainment
was the best the team has received
