DAY, Principal I CEMENT WORK j mm DED ALL RULES LA GRANDE W INS DESriTE 1 . AWRY DECISION BY M'GIM. i With Liquor to Bolster Up the Ploy era and Strong Breath . From the Referee to Lend Smell of a Distillery to the Occasion, La Grande Outplays and Wins From Old-time Rivals for First Time In Seven Years Decis ions Unwarranted. For the first time In seven years, La Grande stands as the vanquisher of the strong Baker City football team. To the surprise of the most sanguine supporter, La Grande with Its midgets turned the tables on the visitors at the baseball park Saturday afternoon by the score of S to 0. True enough, the Baker players went home claim ing a victory by the forfeit score of 1 to 0, but anyone versed In the rules of law and order about a. football rieid, will realize the utter absurdity of the claims made by Baker City. " Baker City kicked off, the ball' go ing over the La Grande goal line, ne cessitating another attempt. This time Carpy touched the ball and a touch- bach resulted. From the 25-yard line Meyers kicked out but notwithstand ing that Baker City should have scored, they were forced to release possession of the ball after Bean had broken through for a splendid dash of 15 yards. Other matters of vastly more Importance than the score oc curred, and The Observer will merely mention that every player In the- La Grande team, from the green player to the captain, played a game such as has never been exhibited by a galaxy of little fellows In this city before, There was humor and there was dis gust In that eventful game. It was funny In Ihe extreme to see "Shrimp Reynolds, weighing 110 pounds, and Arlo Meyers with but little more than that weight, tackle and hurl to the ground with force the men weighing close t ol 90 pounds. The fullback was tackled and thrown repeatedly by the little fellows of the local team. Up to the last minute of play the game was clean, with but little dispute, and one worthy of support. Then Baker City did Its trick that hag left a dispute as to the exact score. ' La Grande Alone, Sftin-d. By a series of mlsplayed forward passes by Baker City and the superior playing on La Grande's part, the ball was captured on the 6-yard line. With a minute left to play, Reynolds dls played some pretty headwork as pilot of the team by calling a fake forward pass, which In reality sent Chllders, who had displaced Heldenrtlch at full back, over the line for a touchdown .Meyers failed to kick goal. At the 'opening of the second hall Baker tore off some substantial gains, but soon, failed to puncture the line to any extent. Late in the half, La Grande was forced to punt, but it was blocked, Chllders recovering. This time, cloHe to Its own goal line, another punt was attempted and then carm ine fatal dispute. The ball caromed from one head to another until it all but touched La Grande's guul line Here Carpy tiled for recovery, but slid over the oval with his body until he had gained a sitting posture with the ball safely clasped under his legs and one hand clasped over and across the point of the ball. A Baker City player thrust his hand on top of Carpy's and held that position until Referee MC Glm appeared to render his decision Knowing that possession of the ball by Baker City would mean a touchdown and knowing that the game would enJ as a defeat for the team he coached If he didn't McGlm coolly rendered a decision as biasu 4 ait) thing wsM could he The fac-3 unrtloned herein were presented to r.tLi't McGlm and Field Judge Smith. Neither could ex plain how the La Grande player could have his hand under that of his op ponent and then not have first posses sion of ths hall. After 20 minutes of jangling Baker City left ths field claiming ths score 1 to 0 on a forfeit. Ignorance of Rales. Referee McGlm, regardless of the fsct whether or not he was conscien tious in his decision, displayed a lack of knowledge of ths rules of ths game thst was appalling. Ths rules stipu late, and reference to any rule book will cor-"Nrats ths statement that after th .eree has blown his whis tle, th . . :i i .Cs to line up and be re -pi Mthln 10 minutes, forfeits tl e gams by s score of 1 to 0. I nut tins up. Under the circumstances it Would not have done so had the refetee fulfilled his duty.; The-way the game went by forfeit was simply this: , After nearly a half hour of Jangling, "MtGlm went to one of the timekeepers and said: "If they i-or, i, egree to play within three .ml'nuk'V. we will forfeit the game.";. T ue to his word, he did si. Any specti.t"! or any official, will hau-e to admit no whistle was blown after the dispute arose, Baker City's team did not line, and In fact, so far from prescribed procedure was th series of events, that It had no semblance of order. A committee of football who might listen to the evidence could not allow the forfeit score, even though the possession of the disputed ball had been given to Baker City. So, after having played In their own territory practically all the time, under-weighed but outplayed, the Ba ker City team left the field. BooeM on the Field. More serious than the misapplica tion of rules was the fact that booie In considerable quantity was used on the field of play. Many spectators saw a Baker City , player pulled long wigs from a bottle of whisky. Those who had occasion to face Referee Mc Glm will testify that his breath ' was so strong with drink as to be detesta ble, and any clean-mouthed lndivld- Wm A1A N KA.tr 4 - VI. - face without being nauseated with the breath coming from the man's lungs. Had Professor Hockenberry - been advised of the drinking going on with in the boundaries of the gridiron, he would have pulled the team away re gardless of what the score might be. The drinking was witnessed by sev eral, and Is no Idle rumor. ' This deplorable condition of sports Is too serious a matter to pass by un noticed. Clean sports are polluted by such action. Clean-mlhded citizens pay money to see football games, not fool ish pranks of half-Intoxicated officials and booze-filled players. If such con dltlons are to exist within the bounds of high school football, then for all that Is clean and moral and gentle manly, let football be dropped from the realm of sportsv La Grande has Ignored the forfeit score and If Baker City wishes to still maintain Its point in face of flagrant disregard for rules provided by Wal ter Camp, then It Is up. to them to take the matter to a committee of un Interested Judges. It Is hoped that Baker City will "clean house" and the next time It sends its team against a set of players clean In morals and decent In habits, that it will desist from drinking on the field of play at least. Rogue River valley pears for the .current. season have been sold In the New York market for as much as $2 73 per half box; and the demand for them Is strong. 4444444444444444 4 How to 'Phone. 4 -4 Patrons- of The Observer will 4 4 confer a very great favor upon 4 4 the office If, when they wish to 4 4 talk with the editorial or news 4 4 department, they will simply 4 4 call for Main 13, and when they 4 4 wish to talk with the business 4 4 office they will say Main 13, two 4 4 rings.
