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:

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.

Ben H. 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. "It Is up tn
the fans entirely if they want
match such as either of these two or
both to be staged during the winlei
months, every month or so, I am, per
fectly willing."
