Outlucked but not outplayed, the
Pendleton high school football team
Yesterday lost the eastern Oregon
championship to Baker by one
point margin. Returning this after
noon on No. Il, the players have no
complaint to make, declaring the for
tunes of the contest We're against
them. Regarding the game the Ba-
ker Herald this morning said in part:
The final score was I to in Ba-
ker's favor, the difference of one
poing being the result of the unerring
kick of Captain Frye Herbert of the
Baker team. who after Finley had in
tercepted Il Pendleton forward pass
and scored a touchdown. booted the
ball between the goal posts for the
score and brought victory to his team.
Followers of the game say it was
the most evenly matched and best
game ever played on local grounds.
All the scoring was done in the third
period. Shortly after the kick off,
with Pendleton making use of the for
ward pass for consistent gains, Alfred
Finley, the fast little right half back
of the Baker team, grabbed a long
forward pass and aided by splendid
inference carried the ball 40 yards for
a touchdown, Herbert making a per-

GOVERNOR ISSUES
HIS PROCLAMATION

Salem, Ore, Nov. 16.-DeclarinG
that the people of the state have been
the recipients of manifold blessings
during the year now closing, Cover
nor West has issued a proclamation
designating Thursday, November 2S,
as Thanksgiving day, and urging the
citizens of oregon to appropriately
observe 1t. The proclamation follows:
The people of oregon have been
the recipients of manifold blessings
during the year now closing. Peace
and plenty have smiled upon our state.
Health and prosperity have been our
portion.
"Other lands have felt the grip of
famine and want pestilence and mis-
fortune.
"Other people have seen their
crops dwindle into failure; their
countrymen stricken by dread dis
ease, their cities and towns devastat-
ed and their lands laid waste by the
ruthless hand of war.
"Our country and our state have
had none of this. our fields and
farms have been productive. Ma
lignant disease has staid its touch.
The march of progress and success
has continued steadily onward. Health
happiness and good fortune has wrap
ped their comforting mantles about
us, and we stand in the twilight of
the departing year with our feet up
on the threshold of twelve-month
of brighter and more pleasing pros
pect than the last.
1T is fitting then, and incumbent
upon us, that we pause for a space
in the interval between the harvest
and the seed time to return our
thanks to Almighty God, the omnip-
otent giver of all good and the auth
or of all our blessings, for his mercy
and his sustaining hand, to him we
owe our life, our liberty and our free
dof from sorrow, sickness and want
Unto him we should yield our rever-
ences, and uplift our hearts in thank
'fulness and appreciation.
Nov. therefore, in accordance
with the time-hallowed custom of our
forebears, and our fatherland, and in
consonance with the conscience OF
our people, /, Oswald West, governor,
by virtue of the authority in me vest
ed, do hereby proclaim and set apart
Thursday, November 2S, as Thanks
giving Day. And l call upon the peo-
pie of this state, that upon this day
they give pause to their labors and
lift to the Throne of Mercy their
united voices in thankfulness for the
blessings and the bounties upon them
bestowed"

ing but the forward passes Pendleton
got the ball to the 10-yard line with
out losing it, Here the locals braced
and held for two downs but on a fake
formation on the third down, Mac
Donald went around the end for
touchdown. The score was made
near the edge of the field and instead
of kicking out, Hinderman attempted
the goal from a hard angle. missing
only by inches. This ended the scor-
ing.
The play was clean throughout but
so hard and fast that time was taken
out many times because of minor in
juries to players. Addison Finkel-
berg, right end for Baker, was the
only player seriously hurt, he sus-
tanning a broken collar bone in the
last quarter. The little fellow played
a splendid game and was given
great hand by the crowd. who did not
realize the extent of his injuries when
he was led from the field.
The most exciting part of the game
was the last few minutes, when it
seemed that Pendleton would put

has hewed to the line of plain. un
vanished gospel teachings and the
doctrine of Presbyterianism. as taught
by its symbols. This one trait has
been dominant in his life. His con-
gregations have learned to expect the
message of the scriptures, by a liberal
Interpretation, and undisturbed by any
PHILOSOPHERS of new thought Every
word of their spiritual teaching has
been based on gospel truth. And
the mass has been fused by the ardent
and convincing belief of the preacher.
The loss of a man of sincere con-
victions always is deeply felt by
community, and Emporia is losing
besides a cultured gentleman and an
earnest citizen. But in the broad ter
ritory of his new Western home,
with unlimited opportunities for con-
structive church-building and backed
by the ripe experiences of more than
a quarter century in Gods service.
Mr.. Grigsby is certain TO attain
wider success than he has yet known.

New York. Nov. 16.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson announced last night
that Immediately after his Inaugural
he would call an extraordinary ses-
sion of congress to convene not later
than April 10, for the purpose of re-
vising the tariff.
The president elect will sail for
Bermuda at . o'clock today for a
vacation and will return December
10. To set at rest speculation as to
what he would do with regard to tar
iff revision he issued the following
statement;
'I shall call congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April Is. shall do this not only be-
cause think that the pledges of the
party ought to be rereemed as prompt
~ as possible, but also because l
know it to be in the interest of busi-
ness that all uncertainty as to what
the particular items of tariff revision
are to be should be removed as soon
as possible"
Beyond this brief announcement the
governor said he had nothing fur
ther to say.
He had not intended to express
himself about an extra session so soon
after his election. Although he fav-
ored the idea. he had promised to
spend more time in ascertaining pub
lie opinion In the time to be con-
sumed in discussion the governor felt
ed the benefits of the tariff revisions
virtually would be postponed two
years.
Immediately upon his election, the
governor made up his mind to wait
until after he returned from his va
cation before making known his at
titude. but upon finding, he said, that
opinion in favor of a special session
was nearly unanimous he felt no hes
itency about making public his con-
clusion.
Though the preside intellect means
l., rest n while in Bermuda, he really
expects to give a good deal of time
10 quiet thought about the problems
that face him He will sketch his
annual message to the New Jersey
legislature and will do some extensive
reading on the tariff monopolies,
banking and currency reforms and
other issues.
The governor came to New YORK
last night to attend the dinner In his
honor by his classmates Princeton
20. He expected to have no political
conferences while in the metropolis
and seemed fully confident that he
would not be disturbed by political
callers while resting in Bermuda.
He will sail on the Steamship Ber-
muda. one of the regular boats ply
ingf between New York and Hamil-
ton, Bermuda. and will arrive Monday.
He has leased cottage on remote
part of the island.
Immediately upon arriving he will
call on the governor of the island and
request him to consider his presence
in Bermuda entirely informal and un-
official.
"I'm going to try to be incog' "
