G 4 Coarh Glen Caylor of the La Grande high school baa selected bis choice of the all-star football players In Eaatern Oregon schools. In the line there are few faces not put forth In other selections, though considerably witched. Mr. Caylor brings forward Snider as a tackle because of his weight, speed and splendid running style, and puts Finch of Baker at guard from tackle. From tackle to tackle Caylor has the best arrangement of any yet presented, for he has the powerful men of the district In It, and there never has been or will there ever will be a better line than this would make. Little commendation need be said about these men they are all peers In their places. Ends Are Weuk. "Nowhere is there a real end In Eastern Oregon," says Caylor. "Lef fel and Garrity are as effective de fensively as any of them, but lacked experience, and after one has pick ed Johnson of Wallowa he Is Btn nip ped. For this reason I would shift a mighty good halfback. Herbert, of Baker, to the end position. He Is the best of the bunch for that posi tion although he is naturally a half back. Flnnell of Pendleton has n shade the best of It at half bark and Herbert has played end so It Is con sistent to change them thnsly. I haven't seen Huntington of The Dal les, play, but he Is evidently supreme In Eastern Oreiton. However, I must Rive Powers the place from my ob servations. Of Hlnderman there la no dispute. The quarterback posi tion is a delicate one. although Hut of Raker makes the best consistent consistent showing. Except for Ged- des' susceptibility to Injury he would outstrip them all: he runB his 'team well, handles punts perfectly and runs a beautiful Interference. He was hurt so often that he got no consistent chance to perform for tiie critics. I would nut be afraid to send this star team against any se gregation In the state, after a little drilling with the ends. There were no ends whq did not make bad blun ders this year In critical games. Leffel and Garrity came nearer. In one season's work, to playing their positions correctly 'nan any others, yet they are too young In the busi ness for Uhls team. There Is a heap of good line material, and 1 am egot tlstical enough to think that I have arranged them in the order that the greatest good would result." BOH K KAMI CHOSEN TIIIUCF. Loral Linesman Obtains Place nil Majority of Tea ins. Hal Bohaenkamp, former center, now tackle on the La Grande high school team Is chosen for a position on a majority of the all star team elections In Eastern Oregon. He is witched from tackle to guard by the Pendleton coach, and put back to bis old position at center by the Bak er coach. This last selection Is pro tmbly the wisest one as he has not had the experience at the tackle po sition to be well rounded out on both offense and defense. At center there Is nothing than ran approach him. The selection of the Ilukcr coach is: First Team. Huff. Baker. L. E. ' - . AlcColloch. Baker. LT. Russell, Pendleton, LO. Itohnenkamp, La Grande. C.

To remind them of bygone days number of local sportsmen nf Teu tonic blood sat down to a good old fashioned hasenpfeffer anil German noodles at Herman .Borsch's estab lishment last nlht. Herman reports that not even the ends f the noodle were left A few were Initiated Into the secrets of this delectable viand and a "feed" of like vltuals Is booked for the near future. The Jack rab bit that ran down the strrcts the other day Is said to have put the Idea Into the bead of Herman. Formation of an active basketball team to represent the Y. M. C. A ! should be rushed. Already other 1 club teams are forming, among thenv an all-star aggregation at Enterprise. I Sportlr" enthusiasts of the city of Enterprise have organized a basket ball team. It is composed of ex- college stars and Is in tne field for I match games. This was the Informa tion conveyed to the Observer In a ' letter bv R. B. Hamilton of that place ''Graduates of Whitman, the O. A. C. ! Iowa f. S. C. and other well known schools are In the line-up They are out for blood and wish to ! eanture La Grande .scalps. Local enthusiast should communicate witb the manager of the team. Bediant Is Soma P'tcber. Hugh Bedlent of Boston, who held the Giants to three hits la one game aud stood in the breach for the Red Sox in that final struggle, struck out ! twenty-four men In a twenty-two In ning game when a boy only eigbteen years of age. The story comes from Pittsburgh dint Just before that be re fused a dollar to pitch for a team, thinking bis services worth 13 t least, bnt flnslly. compromised for $1.50. Waltar Camp Camps on Job. Walter Camp. Sr.. la on the Job dally at Yale field, and If tradition counts for anything Tale will profit by his serv ice to Captain Spalding's eleven. In the eld days If Camp,, kept away from I Yale team because some captain thought be wai big enough to run things himself It was considered1 a golden opportunity for Harvard or Princeton to administer a beating to the Ells. COMING HIE IS HOD-KEl) DOLLAR SIDE BET AL. READY AIUtAXGED. Purse of Two Hundred Dollars Is Uunrantwd by Promoter. A purse of $200 has been hung up for Eddie O'Connell and Ed Warner to wrestle for the division yet to be stipulated when these men mS.-t Dc . 18 In a two out of three fall proposition, -or a straight finisii fight. In addition to a $1UO.OO side bet has been posted and more Is on templated. O'Connell last evening accepted the final details in a tele gram to Promoter McLeod and the match will be staged at the 'Opera House on the 18th or this month. Those who saw the handicap event will admit that the two men can put up a good scran and with twn or three hundred dollar hanging In the balance, fie me i should and will no doubt, put t:ie matter to a finish go. Of tours) tj outcome will not ef fect't)i6).,thamplon8hlp as Warner is not-of einal weight. The wrestling fans tave .wanted these men to meet undo:- ucb terms ever since the high class. erformance of a week or two ago. but McLeod has now made the match certain. Warner Is training at top notch speed for the match, and It will be as classy an event as East ern Or"on bas yet seen, barring none. O'Connell is welterweight champion and Warner Is a middle weight man. Gets Bonus For Not Smoking. If Outfielder Dan Moeller of the Washington American doesn't smoke j during the 1913 league season he will come lu for a $200 bonus from Mana ger Griffith. And If he does smoke bis contract will be cut Just thit much. It's a pipe, not cigarettes, in Moeller's case. BASKFTBALL IN WATER. Naw Gam Proposed to 8upplnt Rough Rugby Polo.

Jackson, a wrestler known throughout t"io northwest, writes the Observer from Turner, Washington, that he has Packey McFarland groomed for a two out of three fall match and Is anxious to hook mi with Warner. "I would put up a side bet out $100.00", says Jackson in his letter, "and winner take 75 per cent of the gate money. McFarland weighs 175. and I can guarantee him to be O. K." McFarland is Jackson's pupil. "If the fans want such a match after the O'Connell-Warner go I will be perfectly willing to take the responsibility" said McLeod today when shown the letter.
