HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Betty Epping)

Another scalp was added to the bell
of our football team last Friday wher
they defeated White Salmon to the
merry tune of 800. A band of root
ers numbering around so went with the
team to help win. The game started
with White, Salmon kicking off. Hooc
River brought the ball behind theil
goal posts for the first time almost be.
fore we realized the game had started
Our second touch down was made by
Blowers, who got the ball and rar
down half the field, which was thick
with four inches of cultivated soil. He
kicked goal and when the quarter end.
ed the score stood 1870 in our favor.
In the second quarter our bows
bucked the line hard and found several
holes in White Salmon's line, the con.
sequences being that at the end of the
half the score was 25-0.
After little rest our boys came off
with touch down right away. Blow
ers kicked goal. Hardly had our cheers
died down when another player was
sent over the line. During the rest of
this quarter the ball was kept in the
center of the field. White Salmon
seemed to be holding Hood River down.
Once during this quarter they had the
ball about on our five yard line.
The last quarter began with the ball
rather near our goal, but our ball. The
ball gradually worked toward the CEN
ter of the field. White Salmon was
getting a little hard to 60 through
when Blowers pulled off forward
pass of 80 yards to Miller; Miller
tucked the ball under his arm, saw the
White Salmon goal post looming up
and ran 20 yards for another touch
down. The last score was made when
Blowers made another famous run over
half the field, bringing the score 800.
The final whistle blew shortly after
this. Passing was made very difficult
on account of the soft ground.
With such big score against them
from the beginning White Salmon kept
up their pluck and fight to the last.
The playing of their quarterback was
especially noticeable. The best play
ing on our side was done by Miller,
Blowers and Wonder Abe, but the rest
OF the team came so close behind that
it was hard to tell who played best.
Those scoring were Blowers, four
touchdowns, two goals kicked; Wonder
Abe two touch downs; Hicks one and
Miller one. Those making the trip
were Coach Mcintyre, Harold and
Louis Bailey, Blowers, R. Slavens,
Mason, Hicks, Miller, Gassoway, Von-
der Abe, Pendergast, Wirrick, Black
man, Epping and Carter. Henderson
was out of the game on account of
injuries.
We feel real sorry for the town peo-
pie who had to stay at home, but you
can have chance to see our team in
action tomorrow at $50, when we meet
The Dalles on Gibson field. Don't miss
this game. Admission 25c.
