Lions Win From
PascO i'm Annual
Football Classic
1916 Score in Thrilling
Exhibition; Both Play
in Top Form

After being defeated the past two
years on the gridiron the Lions win
last Saturday on the Pasco field
was doubly sweet. The score was
II to 6.
Kennewick's first score was made
on the second play in the ball game.
Kenyon. Kennewick's center, inter-
cepted a pass and broke through for
forty-yard run. The try for point
failed.
On the very first play OF the game,
Hanratty, Kennewick's reliable right
end. broke one Of the small bones in
his leg and was out Of the game.
Keyed Up
Both teams. keyed up for this big
game OF the season, played probably
the best in every department OF the
game that they have ATTEMPTED this
season. The line plunges were good
for both sides, generally, and the
open field running was spectacular
enough TO give the rooters for both
teams plenty OF opportunity to get
hoarse. At the latter end OF the game
both sides opened up and there was
more passing by each team than
either has heretofore attempted.
The second quarter provided
thrills enough for any mans ball
game. Early in the section, A. Com
stock, Pasco quarterback, got away
for a seventy yard run on what
seemed a certain touchdown, but
was brought down by Pulliam. A
clipping penalty brough the ball
back to the fifty, with fifteen addi-
tional yards took the wind out OF
4 the lads from over the river.
The remainder OF the quarter was
spent In dangerous territory for the
Bulldogs. On the 20-yard line Ken
newick attempted drop kick,
which failed to go over the bar.
Then a Pasco tumble gave Kenne-
wick the ball again. A line play adj
l-vanced the ball but yard and then
Helm Tipped short pass TO Ehm
for dozen yards. Back again on
the 12-yard line Kennewick tried
for a place kick, but failed TO make
ii good The remainder OF the quar-
ter was spent with short passes, the
ball staying between the Pasco 20
and as yard lines.
In the second half Keller returned
the kickoff for 90 yards and gained
fifteen more on clipping penalty
on Pasco. Then Helm tore around
end for a dozen more and Kenne-
wick was again on the way. Funk,
Pasco center. snagged short pass,
however, and the route was reversed.
Pasco then made their yardage
on straight football, and Rysek,
Pasco. right half. who had been hob
bling around on .crutches all week,
showed that he wasn't very serious
ly injured when he romped through
the Kennewick line for Is good
yards. Belair then intercepted a
pass and the ball was again in Ken
newick's possession. Three downs
gained only seven yards and Pasco
blocked an attempted punt, giving
them possession of the ball on Ken
newick's 45-yard line. Helm got
through and knocked down pass
and Kennewick took the ball back
and made the required ten on the
next two plays, the quarter ending
with the ball on Pasco's 32-yard
line.
Last Quarter
In the last quarter a pass was good
for fifteen yards on the first play,
then Millak made ten through the
Il line for another first down. A five
yard penalty made IL first and fif-
teen and another short pass got half
Of it. losing the ball on downs.
Then Pasco passed short one
and long one for 81 yards TO Ry-
SEX. then tried another which was
Knocked down, Pasco was held with
no gain for two tries and then
Tipped another pass TO the Ken
newick 30 which Helm intercepted.
| Kennewick took TO the air then
and made IL on pass and made
seven more through the line when
a tumble lost the ball TO Pasco. Pas
co then fumbled and Millak re-
covered, resuming the goalward
march for the Kennewick Lions. A
couple OF line plays and Pulliam
got away for fifteen yards. A pass
to Helm put the ball on the Pasco
two-yard stripe. Kennewick made
half the distance on the first play
and pushed 1t over on the next. The
try-for-point was no good. Score
Kennewick IL; Pasco o.
Then Pasco took TO the air and
in four more passes, with two line
plays, got the ball TO Kennewick's
ten from where Comstock passed 20
Durand In the end zone for Pasco's
only score. The try for point was
no good. Final score 1876.
