.KenneWick Lions
Are Beaten by
Enensburg, 60

The football game last Friday
afternoon was an interesting one to
watch, even though the Ellensburg-
ers succeeded in crossing the goal
line for the only score in the game.
The 60 final proved tremendously
disappointing to Coach Slater, who
had his mouth all fixed for q nice
little win over the normal school
town.
The lone score came in the first
quarter after q couple Of nicely exc
cuted passes by Ellensburg. The try
for point failed to clear the bar. The
upper valley players came desper-
ately lose to scoring again in the
second quarter on q similar series Of
plays. A couple Of passes worked
and the boys In the white shirts
were downed on the one-yard line.
Here the tough Kennewick line held,
however, and the threat was avert
ed.
The third quarter was devoid Of
thrillers on the part Of either team
and the ball was handled in the OPP
ponent's half Of the field through
out the period. The Kennewick boys
looked q little better at this stage
and hopes began to rise in the root
ers' section.
In the fourth quarter the boys be-
gan to go to town In earnest, twice
threatening to score, but they lack
ed the punch to shove 1t. over.
Tomorrow the strong team from
the county seat Is coming down to
give the Lions a lesson In the art Of
toting q pigskin. It promises to
be an interesting game to watch
The following week there is nc
scheduled game the boys being CIV
en- rest for the Armistice tussle
with Pasco.
