Swamp An-Stars

The Yakima Valley All-Stars,
strongly outclassed, put up a stub
born fight against the powerful
Fort Lewis Engineers in a special
Grape Festival football game Sat-
urday night under the lights of
the Lions Den.
The Army team, sporting names
of two former All-Americans and
several others who had won fame
on college dridirons scored freely
with a combination of power and
razzle-dazzle that amazed specta-
tors. Final score was AZ to 6. This
was the first time the team had
been scored on this season and
the soldiers paid high tribute to
the gameness of the outclassed
All-Stars.
The Yakima Valley team is
coached by Joe Meyers of Wapato
and is made up of young fellows
who want to play football for love
of the game. They have been seri-
ously handicapped by lack of play
ing equipment and practice ses-
sions are difficult because the boys
are working and some travel con-
siderable distances.
George Karamatic, Jake Schell
and Casey Jones of the Kennewick
high school handled the officiating
and all remarked on the fine type
of men on both teams and their
fine craftsmanship.

He continued: "The festival

future is very bright. You have

Crippled Lions
ace Powerful
Richland Squad

George karamatlc this week is
singing the favorite song of all
football coaches, 1.-THE Injury
Blues" Facing a strong Richland
squad Friday night in the Lions
Den, the Kennewick team is rid
died with injuries where they
hurt the most,
Lee Long, flashy halfback, has
foot injury from a fall from a
scaffold while working at home.
He may be able to play at least
part of the game. Joe Lashock
came out of last weeks game with
a busted little finger. He will still
be able to plug the tackle spot but
may be cramped little. ROLAND
Shearer, fullback is out of the
lineup for at least a week with a
severe bone bruise.
Harold Perkins, power of the
Lions backfield, has bad knee
and may be able to play only a
part of the game. Jim Falk has a
bad shoulder but should be able
to play. .-- be-
'None of these boys will play
Friday night" Karamatic said, eff
there is the slightest possibility
that they might aggravate their
injuries. No football game is as
important as the health and well
fare of the boys" .
Karamatic has been drilling the
backfield with other combinations
during the past week to make up
for the loss of his regulars. With
Truman Elliott at full he is count
ing on Chuck Poole, tailback, Led
ger Bryan, wingback and Del
Clark. Bryan has been out Of the
previous games with bad ankle
but is ready for the call now. De-
Clark, after a hitch in the armed
service, is also a newcomer to the
lineup.
"The line is still in good shape
the coach said. with Lashock
Norm Williams and George Soper
we have lot Of power"
In last Fridays game bad luck
stalked the Lions and left then,
on the short end of 10 IL score
against a rugged Wapato squad
The score was Sc at half time and
from there on Wapato took the
offensive until Kennewick made
its final score late in the game
Most spectacular play Of the
game came in the last quarter
when Wapato kicked off after
their final score. Strege took the
ball and returned it 83 yards to
the seven. In three plays Long
smashed over on an off-tackle
play. Strege was running most OF
the way with clear field with
three Wapato tacklers on his heels
Neither could gain on the other
until the second Wapato runner
fell forward and pushed the play
er in front of him. The added i'm
petus was just enough for the for
ward man to catch Strege's heels
The Lions first score came as
a elimination of a determined
drive from midfield. Long scored
from the two yard line on an in
side tackle smash.
Two fumbles were costly to the
Kennewick team. A tumble on the
second half kickoff gave Wapato
the ball and a fumbled punt had
the same result, both setting up
scores for the opponents.

ASIDE

All kidding aside, we would be
the last ones to sponsor the idea
that there should be no criticism
about the festival. It was a grand
show that left the whole town
Goggy from its magnitude. And
Just because of its hugeness it is
only natural that many mistakes
were made. Criticism if done in
honesty and sincerity, is the best
aantidote for lethargy. We would
like to have you read the next
paragraph written by one of our
tontemporaries appearing in the
Tuesday issue of the Kiwanis
Bulletin.
