Loses 10 Yakima

After losing close drill COM
petition to Yakima Monday night
at Sunnyside, the Kennewick fire
department is setting its sights on
the state title, to be determined
in Belingham July 1881.
The time of the Yakima team
getting fire hose ready for use
was 1921 while the Kennewick
team took 1874. Yakima's victory
entities them to a contest with
the champion department. from
Oregon.
The three-man team from Ken
newick, Herb Malchow, fire chief,
Bud Richter and Don Slsirving,
ran into bad luck using Sunnyside
equipment. Normally all hose
comes in 50-foot lengths, Malchow
explained, but the Sunnyside
equipment turned out to be in 80
foot lengths.
1.-THE 18-foot difference was just
enough to throw our team Off
Stride" Malchow said. when we
get to the state meet, that hose
win be checked first and without
question we WIN be near IL not
on top Of the state drill meet"
The defeat eliminated Kenne-
wick from interstate competition,
but they are Sun eligible for the
