and kicked off to Pullman. They
made steady gains in the first
quarter, our boys nearly suffocating

They scored early in the second
quarter and the crowd went wild
with enthusiasm Pullman kicked
off and secured the ball on the 90
yard line, carrying it to the five-yard
line on few bluff plays. Captain
Livingston carried it over the line

Livingston tackled hard and their

goal. From this on Pullman grew
stronger and Wenatchee weaker.

16 to G. When time was called the
ball was In Wenatchee's territory.
The playing was ragged on both
sides, due to the dust. Cave has a
very strong team and this being their
first game had much to do with the
score.
