plished! 1t remained for the team
whose chances were thought to be
less than nothing to provide the up
set that is still the talk of the val-
ley, to do something that wonderful
KennewiclS football teams of the past
could not do, namely: defeat Pendle-
ton. The score was Ia to z, and that
shows it was battle.
Although the people of Kennewick
were doubtful of our chances, the
team certainly was not. They entered
the field with world of confidence
and started to fight at the first
whistle. Both teams seemed to make
wonderful yardage in the first half
but the ball would always change
hands at critical moments, through
fumbles. Although outweighed from
10 to 10 pounds man besides being
inexperienced our line outplayed
theirs both in offensive and defen-
sive play. However, the breaks
seemed to be against Kennewick in
this half and Pendleton made the
first score. A 30-yard pass from the
5O-yard line to an end who ran for
a touchdown put them in the lead in
the second quarter.
However, this half had shown our
team that they were better than
Pendleton and they came back deter
mined to win. Shortly after the start
of the second half Captain Soth broke
down the line and blocked a punt and
ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Hud-
nall donated a nice place kick for the
extra point.
This touchdown put the new, spirit
into the team. Kennewick kicked off
to Pendleton and held them for
downs. Receiving the ball in their
own territory, Kennewick started a
drive for touchdown After a few
plays Hudnall broke through for a
4O-yard run placing the ball on the
2O-yard line. Pendleton then held for
downs and prepared to punt. Soth
again broke through the line and
blocked the punt, Richter falling on
it behind the goal for another touch
down. Hudnall donated successfully
for another point.
Pendleton opened up furious
passing attack in the last quarter,
but our back field showed November
form in defense, intercepting or
knocking down every pass but one.
Every backfeld man intercepted a
pass during this quarter.
One queer feature of the game oc-
Cured in the place kicking after the
touchdowns. Hudnall who has had
trouble making one out of five place
kicks during practice made two out
of two attempts in the game.
It is indeed very difficult to pick
out the stars of the game. Soth,
Richter and Spaulding made several
sensational plays during the game
and tackled hard all the time. Garrett
and Lincoln played superhuman foot
ball considering their inexperience,
and the weight against them. But the
real heroes Of the line were the
guards; Johnson, Newkirk and War
mock. They were picked out early by
the Pendleton backs as the weak
spots of the line and were hammered
all through the game. However they
did like the distinction and in the
last half broke up many plays and
changed the mind of the Pendleton
quarterback.
In the backfeld Hudnall was the
outstanding star. Besides outpunting
his Pendleton opponent every tine and
putting over two beautiful place
kicks, he got away for several long
runs after intercepting passes, and
thru the line he showed his old knack.
The halfbacks, Kerschel and Smith
lalso showed up well and tho mex
perienced picked their holes nicely.
Boyer, the quarterback, altho he
did not get any opportunity to run
