Word has been recoivod by tlte
local school officials from W. J.
Mishler of Grants Pass,., secretary
treasurer of the board of controlof
high school athletics in tho state,
that Wallowa high school has been
suspendod from athletics for the
ba'.unco of the echool year tor play
two ineligible men In tho football
game with La Grande high school
on Armistice Day.
The trial was- hold in Portland
nnd although tho chargeB . wore
brought by tho La Grandu officials,
no representative of tho local school
was present, the admission of the
Wallowa school's representative at
the trial before the board of con
trol being sufficient evidence " to !
warrant the action taken, according !
to Mishler. '
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. -,
