BY reason of an to victory won
yesterday at Roundup park, Pendle-
ton high school football team today
holds the undisputed championship of
eastern Oregon. Reversing all dope"
on the game and surprising the stall
warts from the mining town as much
as the local fans, Coach Lytle's snap
py grdiron scrappers demonstrated
their superiority from the first whis-
tie to the last, although man to man
they were outweighed by twelve
pounds
Not once did the Baker huskies
come within striking distance of the
Pendleton goal and there was never
any doubt in the minds of students
of the game as to the final outcome.
Time and again the local boys carried
the ball far into their opponents ter
ritory and 1t was only by chance that
they did not roll up a larger score.
Three attempted trials at goal from
placement failed although in two Of
them the ball missed sailing between
the posts by few feet. At another
time, the Baker line held on the four
yard line and prevented another
touchdown.
Old style VS.. New.
The game was a contest between
the old style and the new style foot
ball with the exponents of the latter
proving the superiority of their tac-
ties every minute OF the four quarters.
The Baker team relied on straight
line smashing football to win the
game but bumped up against great
surprise when the light Pendleton
line failed to crumble before their re-
peated onslaughts The Pendleton
lads played open and fast and their
spreads. shifting lne-ups, forward
passes and crisscross plays seemed to
mystify the blue and white giants.
When they thought they had solved
one play, another just as intricate was
executed and repeatedly they lost
twenty yards in one down.
In the first few minutes of play
when 1t was found that the light line
men of the local school were able to
stop the terrific smashes of the heavy
Baker backs hope sprank up in the
hearts OF the roofing students and
when the fast backs and ends showed
that they could make consistent yard
age, their joy knew no bounds.
stars Were Numerous.
1t is a difficult task to pick out the
Pendleton stars of yesterday, so
splendidly did each man perform the
part assigned him by Coach Lytle and
assistant Coach Asbahr. Captain
Hinderman and Cliff Jordan were the
best ground gamers of the team and
frequently ran the ends or tore
through the center for five, ten ana
twenty yards. Ivan Sturdivant at
center was one of the scrappiest men
in the fray and was always at hand
when there was n tumble. The work
of Thompson and Mcdonald at ends
was conspicuous, while Chapman as
an open field runner did splendid
work The trusty boot of Fee was re-
sponsble for the first three points of
the game and was always menace
to the Bakerites.
For the defeated team. the two
most formidable men were McCord,
the 195 pound fulback, and Bron-
augh. the speedy half, both of whom
at times made big gains through the
line and who were always n source of
worry to the local players.
The work of the team yesterday
was 100 per cent better than that dis
played in the walla walla game and
testified much to the effective work
of the coaches However, a share of
glory belongs to the second team men
who have donned their suits each eve
ming to oppose the regulars that they
might secure actual practice work in
offensive and defensive work.
