With an Icy ball and on a sea of
enow and mud and In a bouechllllng
mini that precluded all possibility
of best results, La Grande and Baker
struggled to a no score end last Sat
urday on the local field, the game
wag the first between these schools
in two years but was handled so sat-
IsfiM torlly and was so manifestly pop
ular In all respects that there seems
to be .no question but what athletic
rotations have been put on a firm, per.
mnnent and amicable footing again
toctwieen these two schools.

showed a hundred-fold improvement

tests this jar. Weaknesses were re
moved and In thir Btead wa an eleven
man team with almost no flaws. The
locals matched wits and strength with
the Baker visitors In such a way as to
leave no doubt in the minds of the
crowd but that La Grande has mas
tered 1911 football to a greater degree

scored. '
Ralston kicked off to Baker's1 20
yard line and the game was on. For
a few moments McCord waded
through the stage-frlehtened line but
a down or two and the youngsters set-
tl'id to their traces, Few gains were
made, but enough success to Baker,
'resulted from the flash of brilliancy
to get the ball' barely Into La Grande
'ierrltory.' Then the ball got Icy and
Flaker fumbled. Back and forth be
tween Baker's 45 yard line and La
Grande's 35 yard line the ball sos-sew-
-d, was fumbled, was punted, thrown
and rolled. Baker invariably having
their noses near tiw hall and ablo to
Tecover 75 per cent of the times that

jtiarter ended with the ball on La
Tlrande's 35 yard line advantages be-

let Bolton boot an onside kick of 20
yards to Couch. Couch wrapped his
biceps around the sphere on the run
but grim fate commenced to dabble
with events and the oozy pigskin glid
ed to the ground. It was recovered
by one of the Baker vigilantes, but
at the time that Couch picked the ball
from the ozono there was a clear field
bfore him for a score. Her was
once a touchdown would have been
scored but for the slippery ball. Th-a
second quarter closed with La Grande
having showed far superior ability and
masters of the one-stylij attack of the
miners. The .quarter was indisputab
ly In La Grande's advantage from ev
ery standpoint.
The long rest gave coach and fans
tlme to innoculate even more ginger
and "pep" into the steaming, puffing,
yet finger benumbed players.
La Grande kicked off again, Ralston
hoisting one to the 10-yard line with
his clammy No. 10.' Knrfo ..-; -j

Third Quarter Ilrilllunt.
-In the third quarter things happen
ed in staccato fashion. Spectators
were thrilled with the long, brilliant
runs and forward passing that drove
heat to the cold feet and accelerated
circulation in the refrigerated sld
line contingent. Baker was held in
the middle of the field and a pass to
the fullback, rolled to the ground
where the visiting aeroplane depart
ment kicked gingerly atfoa bounding
ball. Bohnenkamp waa on it like a
pussy on a mouse and Baker was
promptly punished for the infraction
of the Walter Camp statutes. On Ba
ker's GO yard line Reynolds fepread
his minions wide and on a formation
carried the ball himself 14 yards. They
were off now and the crowd clamored
for more of it. They got it. Lottes

' Aftermath of the Game.
Crawley went In at right end in
the third quarter displacing Couch
The little flaxen haired youth had his
nos on the ball all the tlrae and tack
kled well.
"nohnenkamp Is a playing machine.
1 know for I bumped into him 'several'
time," said McCord. the 196 pounder
who handles the h-elra for Baker.
Coach McCullongh opined the same
notion at the hotel later in the day.,
Roynolds. referee and umpire;
Nichols, umpire and referee Zimmer
man, field Judge, worked to good sat
isfaction and no more discussion en
sued than goes with any exhibition of
the brain fogging rules of 1911 calls
for :
"On a dry field your open field play
ing would have netted your team
touchdowns but" it would haw let
Baker score, too. Our straight foot
ball 8tyle wiV .retarded by the snow."
This is the way Prof. McCullough, the
Baker coach, sized up the game. Coach
Caylor is pteased and is confident
that his proteges can outscore the
Bakerltes on a. dry field any day. The
Observer would rate the two teams
at a 16 to 12 clip with La Grande on
the long end of the score. On two
different occasions yesterday Baker
would likely ihave scored but for fum
bles resultant from Ice and snow: La
Grande had five distinct opportunities
to score but three especially wre
shut off by. snow and Ice. Therefore
the 16 .to 12 score is a fair estimate
of the" strength of the two teams, al
lowing for profuse number of success
ful kicks for goals.
Grlmmet, Snider. Casev and Corne.
all of them green men, were veteran-
HKe in their playing. Baker players
marveled that they were, dlsDutlne
at first that they would be were wew
men. This la their first year at foot
ball. - .. .
Bohnenkamp got back into 1910
style Saturday and was everywhere.
The Baker players sized him up right
wnen tney catted him a machine and
H is due to "Bohtte" that the much
touted McCord was nipped In the bud
and had to leave it to hlg balfs to
gain for him. .
Reynolds reeled off two long runs,
ran the team well, and was an all
around hard worker, though several
punts caromed off his chest because
he wore no Jersey that would help
him In holding the chunk of ice when
it came down. Garrity, too, showed
more of his real self than ever before,
tackling hard and low and going down
under puntg with rare speed. Couch
on tlie other end lacks the experience
yet for he, too. Is in his first year of
football. Ills tackling yesterday and
footwork under punts was a big im
provement over former games.
Bolton's great calling Is runniug
interference and he did It exception
ally well yesterday. He gained con
sistently when called upon and waa
worked more on offense than Ralston,
the idea being to save the latter for
his kicking proclivities. Of the 11
times called upon to punt he never i
failed onre; he was keeled over ou !
fake punts but never on straightaway. !
It must be remembered that players '
were coming by him like had from a
rapidflre gun at tlme.s too. Both h
and Bolton bothered Baker to getting
off their punts, Bolton blocking one
and hurrying all. - , ,
Lottes was everywhere and all over
and when an occasional fleetfoot from
Baker was gettlns; away Lottes saw tq
It that he was bowled over. The
doughty captain was perhaps as near
b'jing a star in the game as anyone.
Charging of middlemen, fleetness of
ends and machine-like movements of
the backfield sums up tbe showing
made by the home guard.
Bronaugh was the big shining star
for the visitors. His running, his
tackling and hi8 gentlemanly conduct
set an example for tbe other visitors. .
Absolute lack of dirty tactics, sat
isfaction with the officials and a cur
tailment of tbe excessive inter-city
rivalry were the illuminating marks
of distinction between this and games
that have been scrolled on history tab
lets between these two teams. It was
Indeed commendable and may it al
ways be thus. It was good sport, the
vlsltorg were good .sportsmen and
Bhowed clean coaching and drilling.
