preparing their lunches this noon,

gathered. No water was thrown al

by the department as a precautionary
measure.

SALEM HIGH AND
HILL MILITARY
TO CLASH HERE

The Salem high school football
team has not let down on their
practice even thought they have
probably met the strongest team
which they will go up against
this year but have been meeting
every evening and going through
hard workouts in preparation for
the game here tomorrow after
noon with the Hill Military acad-
emy, Portland, beginning at $3.50
O'clock.
All the dope" points to the
Salem team to take the game by a
comparatively large score but the
dope often fails and it is very like
" that tomorrow afternoon very
interesting game will be tagged. At
any rate the local team will do It's
best and the fans will be sure to
get their moneys worth.
At the beginning Of the season
the McMinnville team played the
soldiers to 6-6 tie. About three
weeks ago the winners fell before
the team work Of the Salem eleven
400.
The gap in the line caused by
the abense of Ringle who was In
jured in the game with Corvallis
last Saturday has been a problem
with Huntington during the week
Patterson, though not cut out for
an end, has been showing up bet
ter than the others and he will
probably occupy the position
when the whistle blows. In the
games here this fall there has moi
been an end on any Of the oppos'
ing teams that has gotten dowr
under punts with the speed OF the
injured Salem end. All Other
members of the team seem to b'
