' Tho controversy arose over the I playing of two men said to hnve been declared ineligible. One mem ber of the board of control had so notified tho Wallowa authorities and the couch had said that he would put tho men In only if abso lutely necessitry inferring that ho meant only if he ran short on sub stitutes. . Instead tho two men were put into tho game whllo there were men ill uniform on tho benches. One of tho school officials inado an attempt tot influence local officials to withdraw their protest but the case was so clear cut that this was refused. Tho locul school officials allowed the two ineligible men to be put into tho linen,) rather than calling the game aff, relying on tho fair- mindedness of the bqard of con trol to pass on the merits of the controversy. -, Mrs. LUCV Callander .
