SCHOOL NEWS
BY Roberta Lane

Last Friday afternoon the high
school foot bali team played the second
game of the season, at The Dalles.
About l25 students accompanied the
team to give them loyal support on the
field. Although The Dalles team was
more experienced and outWelghed the
local team, those who saw the game
were convinced that, even though Hood
River lost by a score of l4-7, The Dalles
team was outplayed. Both teams
played hard game. The local team
was strong on the offensive, but lacked
the punch to put acrossEa touchdown at
the critical moment, although they
were within The Dalles ten yard line
twice. Hood Rivers score was made
during the first few minutes of the
game, when man scooped the ball on
a Dalles tumble and raced for 40 yards
with it. The DalIes scored first in the
second quarter. Their touchdown was
made on an intercepted forward pass.
Miss Baker chapeIoned the girls who
attended the game at The Dalles. Mr..
Cannon accompanied the students and
was official time keeper at the game.
The foot ball team left today for
Pendeton. where they will meet the
