those who know him. All went we'll

the press, who asked the great Al

Sunnyside this week. They'll muir
der u.s." he Sobbed, we're just a
green club out for a walk" Alter
this he hid behind the goal posts
and took his notes.
This is going against the grain
of this column, but after the way
his club looked against Wenatchee,
AIS green club should run, not walk,
to the nearest place TO resign. Iney
do have this big Patterson LAD VINO
was built up last week, but Will be
torn down this time Patterson is
a tough one to stop when ne gets
the ball and starts rolling. To make
him tougher he takes the ball from
the quarterback and has running
start. This gives him the effect OF
a tWo-ton demolition bomb when
he hits the line. On the defense
the big boy runs around looking
for a soft place to light.
Coach Karp did not feel that ne
would have the best Of chances to
stop Wapato. The SunnySide backs
should not find too much to stop
them when they go through the
Wolves line. This is not what has
the Sunnyside mentor worried tho,
it is the Wapato offense. Bob St.
Marys is a really fine paSser and
makes it tough for a team to stop
the Wolves from scoring.
The winners this week look as
though they might be Sunnyside
over Wapato in a scoring spree for
both teams Gle Elum stopping
Pasco Kennewick, if they can
stop Jim Carmondy of Ellensburg,
should come through and remain
the only undefeated team in the
conference :. ToppeniSh and Pros
ser played Wednesday in Toppenish
and the Wildcats should by now be
the winners.
The weeks best men: Paul johann
sen of Top-Hi, who made some nice
runs against SunnySide. Glenden-
ing of Sunnyside, who made the
runs possible by not being in the
lineup in the third quarter. Also
the entire Kennewick squad, who
got by a tough one.

club will take to the celler and the
game should be on the must see list.
Looking at the Toppenish scor-
ing party at Sunnyside last Friday,
Top-Hi still did not show all the
strength it is capable of. Sunny
side, except for the first five min
uteS, played the stronger and more
experienced Wildcats off their
feet. Eldron Glendening of Sunny
side was responsible for the first
half stand. From running guard
position Glendening was messing
the Cats running plays on every
try. When he was taken out of the
game, being knocked cold, the Top
penish club went around the right
end for two quick touchdowns.
When Glendening went out of
the game it was tough enough for
the Grizzlies but three more of the
regulars went out: Art Heberlein,
Stanley Stinson and Martin Austin,
Top-Hi took off on a scoring spree.
Had these boys stayed in the game
the final score would not have had
the Cats and the Toppenish fans in
the good mood that they are this
week.
Ellensburg continued into the
season with another win on its
home field with win over the
fast moving PascO club. However,
all that can be said for the Ell
lensburg club is that they are
plenty tough on their home ground
the rOdeO grounds at ElIensburg
is not lighted for football and it
gets chilly in the evenings up
there. This week at Kennewick
they are going to meet a tough
squad that will have its own
lights and fans, let's see what they
do under these conditions.
Pasco is going to take crack at
Gle Elum and this game should be
creating some interest. The Bull
dogs have lightning attack, while
the Warriors have not too much in
the way of offense. Where Gle Elum
gains ground is by the hard charg-
ing line and tricky pass play. Pas
