Kennewick Is Declared Vic
tor When Pasco Fails
To Finish
TJMEKEEPER FIRES
PISTOL TOO SOON
KenneWick Has Ball Within
Inches of Goal and Is
Seconds to Play

The Armistice Day game, the an
nual Kennewick-P Pasco classic, was
won Monday afternoon on the Pasco
field by Kennewick. The game ended
IN misunderstanding and Kenne-
wick was declared the victor by a
score of one to nothing by Referee
D. L. Callicrate, when the Pasco
team refused to return to the field
from their dressing rooms.
Kennewick had the ball within six
inches of Pasco's goal line when
o. w. Olson, timekeeper, fired the
final gun and the Pasco players left
the field for the showers. Referee
Callicrate declared the gun had been
fired while "time was out" and the
game was not over. The misunder-
standing was due to the fact that after
the last play his whistle for time
out had not been heard by the time
keepers. After comforting the offic-
ials agreed that there were Is Sec
onds to play but the Pasco team re-
fused to return to the field.
With the exception of the last few
minutes of play the game was devoid
Of thrills. Thruout the first half
Kennewick played almost entirely on
the defensive, relying on Beste's toe
to keep the ball out of the danger
zone.
Although lighter than Kennewick,
the Pasco team is fast and snappy,
and whenever he carried the ball,
Fullback Barnhart was a dangerous
man. Pasco was unable to penetrate
Kennewick's line for consistant gains
but on two occasions they worked
the ball well into their opponents ter
ritory by end runs. Their aerial at
tack, which worked so successfully
against Sunnyside, was not effective
against Kennewick's defense.
In the second half Kennewick took
the offensive and although frequent
ly held for downs and forced to punt,
they kept the ball in Pasco territory.
Their chance to score came in the last
period when by a series of line bucks
they worked the ball to Pasco's ten
yard line. Here the Pasco defense
stiffened and Seward tried for
q goal from placement. Anderson
who was receiving dropped the ball
and the attempt failed.
Pasco elected to punt on first down
but the ball slipped from Barnhart's
toe and went out of bounds only q
little ahead of the line of scrimmage.
kennewick again bucked the ball
within their opponents ten-yard line
and again ran up against stone wall.
Coach Kralowec sent in ludlow, a
new player, who made the mistake
OF talking to Field Captain Seward,
before reporting to the referee and
MS team drew Is yard penalty.
With chance for touchdown gone
giimmering Seward called for place
nck formation but instead of kicking
the ball he shot it to Anderson who
was downed on Pasco's one-yard
nne On the next play Kennewick car
NED it to within inches of the goal
me- Captain Woods claimed the ball
vas over and Referee Callicrate blew
ms whistle for time-out but the sig
nal was not heard by the timekeepers
and the gun was fired before play
was called.
!. While the incident aroused some
Ieeilng at the time, the following
morning the Pasco student body at a
meeting decided to abide by the ref
eree's decision to concede the game to
,Aennewick and play the return game
mere Thanksgiving Day.
beste who was injured in the Yak
ma game was forced out again Mon
gay IN the third quarter. He will not
oe able to play this week but his
physician believes he will be in con-
ditlon for the Turkey Day game.
