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.
