i&8day, Ocfofjcr 25, 1932 LA (iRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANliE, ORE. Pajje Five 'i Ashland and East Oregon Normal Schools Clash H CONTEST TO BE BIGGEST GAME OF YEAR FORE. O.N. Mountaineers Hope to Up set , Dope and Defeat Sons; Hines and Lan caster Will Play. Tho big game of -the season tor the Eastern Oregon format school the home-coming contest with the Southern Oregon Norman school of Ashland will be played on the L. H. 8. field Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and from present Indications, It will be one of the hardest fought grid contests played here In many a moon. 'Ashland's team ranks much strong er this year than ordinarily, but so doe.j the Mountaineer outfit, and one of the largest crowds of the season Is expected to watch the two teams play. The game will have bearing on the. state normal school champion ship. A win for La Grando would at least assure the Mountaineers of a tio. as Monmouth Is not on the schedule. So far Ashland has played some wonderful ball. Saturday the Sons defeated Humboldt college of Cali fornia ,26 to 0, and they also won from Pacific 20 to 0, showing sur- i prising strength in both contests. r Incidentally, Tebo Hines, a flve- : year letterman in football at Ash- land (or he will be a five-year man after tails' season, so It Is reported), ' will bo on the Son eleven, anxious to get another crack at a La. Grande squad., He used to make life mlser- ; able for the Tigers when he was a Ba ker Bulldog player, and he has been helping Ashland to gain an edge , over La Orande the last few years In normal school competition. Lancaster to Day Anothef. Ashland star well known locally Is Lancaster, one of the best backfield men in the northwest out side of coast conference circles. It and his remarkable running that won for Ashland the last time the Sons played here, and is out to repeat. Coach Bob Quinn's team ranks as the strongest he has developed since 1029, and this year he has plenty of reserve strength In addition to his first team lineup., ........ Tho Mountaineers, although realiz ing they will go into tho game the underdog, are hopeful of winning. their faith on a Msd-chorglng,.ifJa.iEly.: I heavy line and a versatile, speedy , backfield, with Roe, Lassen, Burnett and Hanks all capable ball carriers, and with other good backs ready to relievo them at any moment. Line Shows Improvement The line showed much Improvement Saturday over previous games, espe cially from tackle to tackle. And at the ends Halverson and Carden played splendid ball, particularly the latter, whose pass-catching ability against Albion helped materially In the de feat of the Idaho outfit. Barring Injuries, the Mountaineers should enter the game In mid-season condition, and Incidentally, the E. O. N. players have been pointing to the Ashland game for some time. Following the Ashland game the ; Normal school will play Lewiston Nor mal here Nov. 11 and wind up the season In Spokane against the Spo kane university eleven.. New Rules Make Football Game ; Safer, Report By Herbert Y. Barker Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Oct. 25 (A1) So far as the colleges are concerned, the new football . code apparently has accom plished its primary purpose of mak ing the game safer for the players, but high school and sandlot football seems just about as hazardous as be fore. Of the 11 fatalities so far report ed attributable directly or indirectly to football, only one has occurred in college ranks where the new rules or sandlot games where proper super vision and training Is much more dif ficult and. In the case of sandlot contests at least,. virtually Impossible. 7 The 60 fatalities charged to foot ball last year led to a series of dras tic changes In the rules during the winter, eliminating the "flying wedge" on klckoffs, flying blocks and tackles, "rabbit punches" on the necks of linemen and an overhauling of the specifications for equipment to make It safer. With the season now at the half way mark, these rules seem to have eliminated many of the hazards of tho game as it Is played In the col leges under strict supervision. The only fatality in college ranks wn that of High Martin Williams. 16, a freshman at Loyola of .the south, who died of Internal Injuries after being kicked in the abdomen during a practice drill against the Varsity. Five high school players, two sand lot competitors, two lads competing In neighborhood games, and an acad emy player In Honolulu also have been fatally Injured since the season opened. Head Injuries caused most of these deaths, while several others were caused by the failure of the Injured player to receive treatment after minor hurts. Mankind and War S In all the history of man, dntlcj; tack 3.421 years, there have been only 2S years of peace against 8,lf-'t yenra of war, while S.uOO peace treaties have been concluded In (hat time, according !o the So ciety of International Law In London.

Causing Trouble In Dixie Circuit .NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 25 (iP) Rumors of technical violation of eligi bility rules by various Southern con ference athletes following the dis qualification of Julian Foster, Van derbllt end, for playing summer base ball, brought a telegram from Head Coach Dan McGugln, of Vandcrbllt, to Dr. C. P. Miles, conference presi dent, suggesting that "rules relative to summer baseball have been long rather loosely administered." "As faculty representatives have in many cases failed to furnish lists of prohibitive teams as provided by the constitution." the telegram said. "I wonder whether you should take counsel of executive committee whether students should be disquali fied where the regular schedule has not been more than three games a week, where they have not received money as players and have not played on teams of recognized baseball." The coach said he felt that "If many are declared Ineligible It may bring much criticism on Vanderbllt ond also on the conference, Dr. Miles at Zlacksburg last night Bald be had not been asked to call a meeting of the executive commit tee and knew of no reason why one should be called. .

First, It eliminated the Round -Up City team ; irom, consideration for the Eastern Oregon championship. Secondly, It demonstrated that the Baker eleven, ! after four long weeks of setbacks, at last has found Itself. From now on that Baker Bulldog Is likely to be a tough. dangerouB op ponent, and It looks as If La Grande's Tigers will have their hands full and then some at Baker Friday after noon, when the two teams meet. In addition to the fact that Ba ker would like nothing better than to put La Grando out of the title race along with Pendleton, Is tho rivalry that exists between Coach George Scott and Coach Ira Woodle. Both started coaching In Eastern Oregon tho same year and although Scott has the upper hand ln the basketball realm, Woodle has not yet seen an eleven coached by him defeated by a Baker team. .However, last year,' he saw his Tigers held to a scoreless tie by tho Bulldogs, but that didn't give Scott a win. The your before the Tigers won 24 to G and no game was played ln 1920, the first year for the two coaches in Eastern Oregon. Scott, of course, teaches his play ers more of the Schlsslcr style of football, while Woodle uses h sys tem that Is similar in many respects to the type of football he learned when at Oregon. "UtUe Classic" . The Baker-La Grande game rapidly is becoming the ."little classic" in Eastern Oregon, and Indications are that the Tigers will bo hard-pressed to enter the game favored to win, following Baker's decisive victory over Pendleton, The Bulldogs have ad vanced a long way since losing to En terprise 7 to 0 In their first game of tho season, and scouts who saw the game In Pendleton Saturday, aren't so sure that the Baker team won't be the toughest on the blue and white schedule. It's sure, to be a battle royal, and with Baker on the up-and-up now, tho Tigers are getting down to prac tice ln earnest this week. La Grande's 70 to 0 victory over Wallowa didn't mean a thing as far as Baker Is concerned Baker tin-doubtedly-rcould ' have done as well because tho Bulldogs aro nearly as big, Just as fast und have Just as many reserves as La Grande, accord Ing to reports. It Is tho first easy game the Tigers have had, but so far Baker has not met a weak eleven. Scores during tho last 10 years of play between the two schools give La Grande the edge, with six vie torlea, two losses and a tic. Tho record follows: 1931: La Grande 0, Baker 0, tic. 19301 La Grande 24, Baker 0. 1029: No game. 1028: La Grande 14, Baker 0. 1927: La Grande 0, Baker 35. 1920: La Grande 21, Bnkor 13. 1925: La Orande 0, Baker 40. 1924: La Grande 20, Baker 0. 1923: La Grando 53, Baker 7. 1922: La Orande 72, Baker G.
