OUTPLAYS.
PRAIRIE CITY AND
WINS EASILY $50
Visitors Have Beef But are Not
Able to Withstand Fast
Work of Taylor's Men.

Pendlcton established another claim
to supremacy in the race for Eastern
Oregon football championship Satur-
day when Coach Homer Taylor's
Buckaroos handed the beefy eleven
from Prairie City defeat by a score
of So to 0.
The game was too one-s'dcd to
have the maximum amount of interest
for spectators, but it proved to the
fans that the locals are entitled to be
considered as one of the strongest
teams in this section of the state. ON
both attack and defense the BuckaroOs
had an easy margin on the visitors
and they took advantage of their sI-
periority by scoring consistently in
every period of the game.
The Buckaroos relied chiefly on
straight football for their yardaEe.
Prairie City resorted to the forward
pass after repeated efforts convinced
them that they could hope to do little
against the Pendleton line, but they
were not very successful with the pass.
Stars in the contest are hard to
name. The Pendlcton team pat on a
good exhibition Of team work. and in
this cooperative work the hackfiold
all shone. Manning's passing from
center was easily 100 per cent i'm
proved over the game against The
Dalles, and the pivotal 1i-year-old
looks to have the stuff that will make
him valuable man. Harrah PLAYED
! his usual good game at tackle. Gill
lette and Earnhart were on the job as
ends. For the visitors there were no
particularly bright and shining stars
on offense, but on defense, their husky
right tackle Miller was Il tower Of
strength He figured in nearly every
| play, and his ability TO diagnose plays
was responsible for the Buckaroos
failing to make the gains around his
end of the line that they made on
their own right side
