CALDWELL AND BAKER
CITY PLAY TIE FOOT
BALL GAME

In a game that probably was the
hardest fought contest of the season.
Caldwell succeeded in only tying
Baker City. The Oregonians out
weighed the Caldwell boys almost to
man, but in spite of this they were I'M
able to force the Idahoans line. Cald-
we'll received i'll the kick off and i'm
mediately set about series of line
plunges to force their way through to
the Oregonians' goal. Although they
were outplayed in a very decisive style
the Baker boys succeeded in grabbing
forward pass and got away with
touch down. The goal was kicked.
Not until the second half was the
Baker team able to make their yardage
through the Caldwell team, and then
only for two or three times.
Baker Fails on Chance to Score.
Getting aWav with pretty forward
pass tor II yards it seemed for
few moments that they had an ex-
cellent opportunity to score again, but
Houghton's men frightened and in an
other attempt to pass they lost an OPP
portunlty tor securing touch down.
Full back Cook using his toe con-
stantly with most excellent results,
Caldwell ends got down under the
punts in style that was amazing.
The Oregon lads were unable to reurn
the ball even a reasonable distance
On nearly every punt they received,
the player was downed in his tracks
by the Caldwell ends.
Caldwell Scores.
At the opening of the second half
Cook went through the line for a
pretty gain. Then Corners was put
through and succeeded in getting away
after having found Bakers line want
ing, for nice SIS yard run for a touch
down, downing the ball at the corner
of the gridiron On the kick out the
Baker team failed to line up 5 yards
back of the goal line and as result
they were able to intercept the ball
just as one of the Caldwell players
clared the Oregonians off side and an
was received on the IS yard line and
from this point Cook gooted the pig
skin for another point-the score 7 TOT.
For the remainder of the game Baker
was kept entirely on the defensive.
Twice Caldwell got within striking
distance, but was unable to connect
with the play that would carry the oval
over for another touch down. The
last quarter Cook made beautiful at
tempt at field goal from the 10 yard
line, but missed the mark by few
inches.
Baker Outplayed From Every Angle
The Baker team was well balanced
for weight and size. The men were
fast and apparently in good trim, but
somehow they lacked the punch. In
spite of the superior weight they were
unable to make consistent gains of any
sort against the Caldwell squad. They
were out passed in the open plays by
the Caldwell eleven, as well as out
distanced in the plays around the ends
Cook and Corners gained consistently
through their line, and never once dur.
ing the game did the Baker eleven &C
tually get away from the defensive
game. They frightened considerably
during the last quarter, but at no time
did they demonstrate proves over
the Caldwell eleven in playing the
game.

pa on Monday evening, where they en-
gagged in a scrimmage with the sec
ond team of that city. The Caldwell

to 0. 1t is expected that the Namp;
