take the eastern Oregon honors In

winners he has to the eastern Oregon
meet at Wallowa next Friday and he
is longing for the powers of an al

drain Of bringing the Baker and As

means of raising money Is found be-

have to take over four or five Of his
best men and leave the rest behind.
Word comes from Baker and La

20 and this is not reassuring to the
local coach.
Here are the fifteen men Coach
Asbahr would like to take with him
