The Normal school football team
opened its season last Saturday by
defeating the Hastings high school
eleven by a score of SIS to 0. The
weather was fine for the "bleacher-
ties" brit altogether too hot for COM
fort for the players.
Normal kicked off to Hastings and
forced the visitors to punt after two
attempts at the line. On the second
play after getting the ball the ped
agogues scored touchdown. Hast
ings tried the forward pass at every
opportunity, but the ball invariably
fell into the arms of a Normal back
fielder. At the close of the first
quarter the Normal had scored %
points, while Hastings had not PUSH
ed the ball even into Normal terri
tory. The Normal started out the
game with the following lineup:
Reagan, center; Chinook and Gins
bach, guards; Fletcher and Cooke,
tackles; PIERCE and Foley, ends;
Bliss, quarter; Bergh and Condit,
half backs; Moser, full back After
the first quarter Prof. Castle contin-
ued to shift the lineup until all of
the candidates had had a tryout.
aSf Frxy of hn1
quarter; Sherburne at center and
guard; Sakrison at quarter, half and
end; Lowell, K. Chinook and Baird
at guard; and Miller, Darsey and
Rogers at end.
The pedagogues outweighed the
visitors considerable, and exhibited
more thorough knowledge of the
game but hardly had enough oppos-
ition to show what they really could
do. In the second quarter Normal
scored II more, giving them total
of 40 points at the end Of the first
half. New plays and defensive
practice occupied the attention of
the local eleven during the last half
and they did not make much at
tempt at scoring. Two touchdowns
was the total of the third quarter
and one more was added in the final
period, the latter being scored on
the first play.
Next Saturday the pedagogues
will have harder work defending
their goal line and the game will un-
doubtedly be close and exciting,
There should be large attendance
at the Normal campus next Saturday
to see the pedagogues and Red
Wing high school battle for gridiron
honors. The game will be called
at 2:30.

OUnTA|NEERS TRIM
WAL[A WALLA BEARS

The Walla Walla and Weston teams
of the Blue Mountain league clashed
on the grounds of the first mentioned
team yesterday and the Walla Walla
Union has the following to say Of the
game:
Weston won from Walla Walla, 8
to 0. That's all, nearly, there is to
say. Frink pitched great ball straight
through and only once was he in
danger, and then he pulled out with a
strikeout, and a man on second and
one on third. Walla Walla had an
off day, nd seven errors are chalked
up against the Bears, two aginst the
usually errorless Cotton" Harmon.
Weston had the better of the game
from the start. Lieuallen, first man
up, sent the ball into the weeds around
Boewer in right field. He went to
second when Happy" tried to throw
with an armload of hay over his wing
and went wide of LanKard. Brown
went upon a fielders choice that re-
tired the first runner, but the next two
were easy outs. For Walla Walla, Is
men faced Frink in five innings and
went down. one-two-three True, in
the fifth Nadeau walked, but he was
caught mapping off second. In the
eighth. with two down, Lankard hit
Boewer hit what should have been a
two-bagger, but Blackman famed. In
the sixth Parkes and Boewer had hit,
but could not be brought home. In
the ninth three men famed the air in
rapid fire order.
Weston's first run came in the
fourth, when Blackman held A. Nor
deans grounder too long, and then
threw over first, pulling Lankard off.
4 nice chance for a double came next,
when Blomgren sent an easy one to
-'arkes but Parkssimply fooled it,
and both were safe. Groves hit to
right field scored Nordean. The Sec
ond was earned, Lieuallen hitting
safe and stealing second, coming
home on Browns clean bingle. 1t
was in the seventh and it came near
ly being the last of the game, for
when Lieuallen came home, Brown
went to second on wide throw OF
Boewer's, although he was caught be-
tween first and second when the ball
was returned. The difficulty was fix
ed, finally, and the last run was in
the eighth. A. Nordean hit safe, went
to second, then to third, on infield
balls, and home on a passed ball.
