Of FOOTBALL IN EASTERN OREGON

Bringing the football season to a
climax in eastern oregon just as the
HarvardYale game does in the east,
as the Stanford California game does
on the coast and as the Oregon-Wash-
inGton game does in the northwest, is
the Pendleton- Baker game which will
be played at Round-Up Park next FRI
day afternoon and over which the To-
cal football world is all agog.
Since ages remote when the inflat-
ed pigskin first became a part of the
academic curriculum in this part of
the commonwealth, the annual clash
on the gridiron between the stalwarts
of the Pendleton and Baker high
schools has been paramount in inter-
est and enthusiasm for the reason
that there are no colleges in eastern
oregon and hence the high school
teams must act as the safety valves
for the relief of the high pressure
among the fans,
Rivalry Is Intense.
Intense rivalry exists between the
two schools and for their battle each
year their teams are carefully
groomed. All other games may be
lost without a grimace but the defeat
in this contest is dose so bitter that
