II now develops that Everett
seagulis were playing STADIUM
Tigers here Armistics Day with
an ace up their sleeve. One thing
Is certain not al the cards were
on the table.
Here's why:
For two weeks before the sta
diam game Everett vas supposedly
searching the Pacific Northwest
high and low for q game for No
yemher Il.
This. however. Was before
q forfeit victory from Yakima
Pirate. was exploded when 10
developed that Yakima had In
early September Informed all
of It. opponents that 10 might
not be able 20 fulfil Ia October
date. because Of the apple
harvest.
AS soon as this came out IN the
open. Everett dropped all mention
of the forfeit" and began 10 talk
in mysterious teNns about the
November II game. Teams men,
toned as possibilities included
Klamath Falls unbesten Oregon
prep eleven.
THOUGHT DEAL CLOSED
Evidently a deal was virtually
consummated between Everett and
klamath Falls for news wires car
ried a story from Klamath Falls
the day after Armistice Day that
Everett and Klamath Falls would
play In the Southern Oregon city
on November 81.
But Everett meanwhile
pulled the ace out of Its sleeve.
Determined 20 win the Cross
state league title for the
fourth straight year. the Sea-
gulls announced Thursday that
the previously postponed game
with Yakima would be played
In Everett on November 20.
No explanation was given as 10
why this announcement was not
made before the Stadium game but
1t seems logical to assume that
Everett never intended 10 play
YakImr IL 1t had defeated Stadium
here on Armistice Day.
CUTE MANEUyER
This "cute maneuver" means
that Everett can now put In a
supposedly clear claim for the
Cross state title II the Gulls can
defeat Yakima. or course. IL
Yakima should beat Everett then
either Stadium or Bellingham
would have a chance at the honors.
Meanwhile Stadium Tiger
footballers. who thought they
were playing for . possible
first place tie In the Cross
State league, would now be
left out In the cold n Everett
beats Yakima. For you see.
Everett now plays one more
league game than Stadium.
That this latest move Of Everett
IL a blow beneath the belt 10 sta
dium's title chances can not be
denied. Whether Cross State league
officials will okeh such devious
means Of gaining a championship
Is yet 10 be decided.
Principal Howard Carr Of sta
dunn said Friday morning:
"We're not worrying too
much about championships
: this year and certainly any
championship claim resulting
from reviving supposedly
cancelled game does not carry
too much glory with IT,
Meanwhile Tacoma fans. who
were warming up to the fact that
Stadium could. by defeating Lin
coin on Thanksgiving day. share
the Cross state title. are some
what burned up. To them. sta
dunn viii be co-champions with
Everett II the Tigers can defeat
the Abes on Turkey day.
HOLDING THE RAG
Klamath Falls, which was left
holding the bag by stadium's de-
feat Of Everett, signed up Van
couver Trappers for Nov. Il. But
first Klamath Falls tried 10 get
Stadium TO play there.
Coach John Heinrich was sur
prised Friday that Yakima would
agree to playing Everett. Hem
rick pointed out that Stadium re-
arranged its schedule TO give Yak
ina a home game.
The shifting Of dates forced
Stadium TO use its open date
on Nov. 20 10 play Seattle
Prep when the Tigers could
have played Bremerton and
thus been able 10 match
Everett with . fun league
schedule.
Meanwhile roper cussions Of
Everett's move were heard In
BeIlingham, whose Ped Raiders
have also lost only one Cross
State league game.
Reports from the northern city
