LIPPS SUBSCRIPTION .... - - • Superintendent 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Our team had no difficulty in romping away with a 45-to-6 victory over the Conwell-Mullen eleven here on Armistice Day. Captain Fleury and Lawrence Pratt raced around the ends on reverse plays for repeat ed long gains, while Peter Cimino, fullback, crashed through the line for good yardage and our first two touchdowns. The visitors tried gallantly to find a weakness somewhere in our line, but were repeatedly thrown for losses. But it must be added here, though they were outweighed and succeeded but little in gain ing ground, they fought hard and gamely until the fin al whistle. After the first few minutes of play our “Hot Shots” took the field, and we dare say the youngsters did themselves proud. They played a snappy brand of football and defended their goal well and also scored a couple of touchdowns before the half closed. “Buck” Smith generaled the new crew nicely and selected the right play at the right time. He used the spinner play to good advantage and broke away for several nice runs. The Meachem brothers, Clifford and George, playing the end positions, tucked away a num ber of passes for long gains. Quarterback Atkins was more accurate with his passes than at any time this season. They were just right. Jake has been nurs ing an injured arm since early in the season and is just now recovering; that has hampered his passing until now. “One Rush” Stagner received the call to start the game at the pivot position. His passing was almost flawless and his defensive work was good. He follow ed the ball better than any center we have watched this season. Wherever you saw the ball you saw Cecil. He was a regular “ball hawk.” Peter Rass- mussen and Ernest Brunoe, tackles, and Roy and Joe Peratrovich, guards, were continually toppling over their opponents and downing the ball carrier back of the line. However, this did not dampen the visitors’ fighting spirit which gained for them the lone touch down credited to their account. With the ball almost on their goal line our team fumbled and the Portland ers scooped it up and raced 92 yards for their lone score. If all works out as Manager George W. Bent is try ing to arrange it our squad will have a busy time Saturday. He is negotiating to send the varsity against Linfield College at McMinnville and the “Hot Shots” to Albany to entertain Albany College. Lin field is one of the trickiest aggregations in the North west Conference and it will mean 60 minutes of fight if our team makes the grade. Last year, with our entire backfield out on account of injuries, we man aged to hold Linfield to a 13-to-6 score. What they do this year will depend somewhat on the effect the game Saturday had on them. Over-confidence will have had a chance to creep in, and then, of course, if it worked like we hope it hasn’t, the team is apt to be taken greatly by surprise and naturally beaten. But on the other hand, by shear hard work and hustle the team should reverse the surprise. At any rate the boys are anxious to try Linfield. They held Willam ette University to a 6-6 score and believe they can do better than that against Linfield. The class championship game between the Juniors and Seniors has been continually postponed on ac count of the weather. Not that either of these two aggregations is afraid of the mud, for such is not the case, but solely because so many are interested in the outcome of this affair that we are waiting for a good day to play this important game. The Juniors have won the championship for two years now and have only to win the title this year to be the rightful owners of the beautiful silver loving cup that is presented to the team that wins it for three consecutive seasons.
