ABERDEEN Cannot CRAV I
FISH INTO CHAMPIONSHIP
Wenatchee Only Other Undefeated High School Team
in state-Dow Has Wired Offering to Play Either on
Neutral Ground or at Aberdeen-Both Teams Have
Open Date Thanksgiving = Occur d'Aene Saturday.

FaWcett was not peddling cor
talk when he said during the even
ing after the recent Spokane-Wen
chez tie game that the local team
would beat Aberdeen if given a
chance. He acted as referee in that
game and consequently was in a
position to know what he was talk
ing about more than the sporting
writers of other papers sitting COM
fortably in their offices over in Spo-
kane, Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and
Aberdeen.
In a signed article appearing in
the Inland Herald. of which he is
editor of the sporting page, Mr.. Faw-
cett said last evening:
Tacoma and Aberdeen high
school football elevens will clash on
Saturday in Tacoma for the North
west interscholastic championship
according to dispatch from the
Stadium town today. Tacoma, it
will be recalled, was defeated by the
A3erdeens earlier in the season by
enc touchdown.
- Isn't it rather an unusual pro-
cedure for a team to jeopardize its
championship claims by submitting
tc a second game?' asks high school
fan today.
1t is, indeed, but in this instance
the scheme is altogether too appar-
ent-Aberdeen would scrape out of
a game with the husky bunch from
Nenatchee. and, take it from me,
Aberdeen is wise. for on dry field
the writer believes the Apple Pick
ers could wallop the stuffings out
OF Perkins Tacoma team.
We earnestly desire game.
either with Tacoma or Aberdeen
says Coach Sievers of Wenatchee, in
letter TO the writer today. 1 fail
TO see how any team can ignore us
and calmly rest on early season lau-
rels, and refuse to fight for the rag.
Do you? We are willing, and that
means more than the attitude of
some of the other teams. If we are
no good, why don't some of them
stop off and chastise us so We will
cry enough
Both of Wenatchee's big games
Queen Anne and Spokane-have
been on muddy fields, where We
natchee's rather light rush line has
been at a disadvantage. Give Slew
ers a dry field for that speedy, beefy
backfield and something is going to
break
This is the only fair statement of
Wenatchee's claims made by any of
the metropolitan papers OF the
northwest during the past week.
Wenatchee fans will not soon forget
the fairness and justice of the fear
less Fawcett who dared to challenge
all other dopesters and tell the truth
when it is not the popular thing to
print.
It is very significant that Aber-
deem was the first to read Wenat-
chez out of championship possibili-
ties on account of the no-score game
with Spokane Her delight at the
circumstance is too apparent to be
overlooked. Special phone service
on the night of that game was given
from Wenatchee to Aberdeen and the
fans listened to the report amidst
great display of enthusiasm. The
coach at once phoned TO the Spokes-
man-Review that it would not be
necessary now for his boys to play
against the apple pickers. His jul
biIation fairly screamed in every
word
Aberdeen's Open Thanksgiving.
In a dispatch from Aberdeen, the
P.-I. this morning sums up its view
of the situation thus:
"Wenatchee, according to local
dope. is now out of the game for
good, and it is hardly probable that
Aberdeen will get a chance to play
that aggregation this season. Coach
Meyer, up to the present time, has
