Salem Coach Is
Satisfied With
Teams ShOpine

With Salem on the slightly long
er end of a Ia to 13 score, the foot
bal game between the local high
schol and the Estacada high school
was called off at the end of the
third quarter Saturday afternoon
as result of the visiting coach's
inability to fill vacancies made in
his line through injuries.
Although the local teams per-
formance during the first half of
the game proved disappointment
to it's supporters, Coach "Chief"
Egbert today expressed himself as
being satisfied with his mems an
pearance so early in the season.
Failure to follow their interfer-
ence during the first and second
quarters was undoubtedly largely
responsible for the Salem backs
failure to make yardage. In the
third period, however, they were
able, time after time, to smash
through the tackles for yardage
and to tear around the ends for
gains.
"All they lack is experience"
Egbert declared.
Bill Ashby, fullback on the Sa-
lem team. bids fair to be one of the
most formidable plungers in inter-
scholastic circles. Ashby made a
very favorable showing Saturday.
