Captain Couch lat er in the first half added another six. points by intercepting a forward pass and sprinting the full distance of the field for the second touchdown. Con key kicked goal. Steamed up by the first score the youngsters fought Bak er to a standstill and outplayed them in all material departments until the fourth quarter when the excessive weight in the back field told its story, and the Baker crowd ran the ball near- ln that.

Comparative scores have become a misnomer, or rather will, if Baker wallops, Pendle ton. Orderly, clean, spirited playing that was the order of the day, and it has now become an established 'fact . that scrapping and football are not kin. In no game this year that La Grande has taken part, has there been a semblance of scrapping.
