There always Is a keen rivalry when their teamB meet in the an nual Maryland classic, but It prom ises to be warmer than ever this season.

(Continued From Page Three) latlve' to the wetwng of the field, and here they are: : ' Following the La Grande High rally and bonfire at the athletic field Friday evening before the game, the fire hose customarily used to wet down the field when it Is dusty, was employed and the gridiron was dam pened sufficiently to Insure a good footing the following day. This all occurred Friday night, with the field dusty, and the sky clear. When the work was completed at 11 o'clock, the moon was shining brightly and there was no Indication of Bny rain. A few spots on the field had a bit more water than others, because of leaks In the only hose available for use. This occurs every time the field Is dampened and that Is one reason tho wetting Is done the afternoon . or night before the game to in- j sure sumcieni wme ior wie ws, "r-w j Mo-Ill Was SnlUllfd ' Exactly the same thing was done before the Walla Walla game, which La Orande lost 8 to 0, and without additional rain, the field the day following the wetting was In perfect condition. Not a single Wa-HI player complained of the condition of the gridiron. In fact, the field was as' near perfect as was ever achieved. But. unfortunately. In the early ' hours of Saturday morning tbe skies clouded and rain fell, not so much . RECOGNIZE NOTED AUTHORS? This Is the second of a, series of five photographs of authors. The ten persons who most closely Identify the ten uuthors pictures In the series will receive theatre passim from the Observer us a prize for their efforts. The third picture will appear tomorrow. rain as to spoil the field, but enough to leave it muddy in a few spots 'for the afternoon game. Having no control over the weather conditions, and as much surprised at the rain as anyone, the La Grande High school officials could hardly in fairness be called "unsportsman like" for their natural attempt to put the field In reasonable condition for the Enterprise-La Grande game.. La Grande Handicapped doing a step further, to this writer it did not appear that the1 Enterprise team was handicapped by the field any more than La Grande. As a matter of fact, except for a few iso lated spots, there was no mud. And, also, as a matter of fact, La Grande lost one gain of around 20 yards be cause a La 'Grande ball carrier, in the clear, slipped In one of those1 few damp spots and went to the ground. (- Under the new: rules, the ball was dead at that point. No such slipping was apparent on the part of any of the Enterprise ball carriers in fact, considering the op position they were facing, they made some excellent gains and also com pleted some fine pasess. The ball did not at any time appear wet. . About the Cleats Getting down to the second point in the Enterprise item, referring to the cleats, this writer fails to sec what can be done about it. If the Enterprise High school failed to equip Its team with standard cleats sucll as the Tigers used, should the Tigers be penalized? Surely, La Grande had no knowledge that Its players had better cleats; and without such knowledge, can anyone imagine a deep-dyed scheme to win a game by flii creating a plot on such n supposi tion? Tho truth of the wholo matter Is simply this: the field was wetter than L. H. S. officials and players desired, but It was nobody's fault. If some marvelously gifted person able to look into the future could have told La Granders that it would rain several hours after the field was dampened, then all would have been well, we have no doubt. But, lack ing such a marvelously gifted person, and with no such powers themselves, the High school officials did the best they could to make the gridiron per fect for the approaching game. And, in closing, there was not a drop of water put onto the gridiron Satur day by the hand of man I JOSEPH GAISER SPEAKER TODAY (Continued rrom Page One) feeling of fineness Is carried over In to the cities which have wide, immac ulately clean streets and beautiful public buildings.

' Motion Asks Court To Cite Oregonian On Contempt Action PORTLAND. Oct. 18 m Harry L.
