sults in Only Touch
down of the Contest.
AKER High school's
football team, as
strong If - not
stronger than last
season, was unable
to defeat La Grande
yesterday after
noon at Baker,

did succeed in
holding the Tigers
to one touchdown.
The final score was

ing the Tiger goal
line unscored on

Tho lone touchdown was made on
tho last play of the first period when
Sailer slipped past the line of scrim
ma go ond then raced 38 yards to
scoring territory, with Captain Ows
ley blocking out three Baker backs
after taking care of his own num. It
was probably the best exhibition of
blcoking during the afternoon. Al
vcy, La Grande linesman, kicked goal
for the extra point.
70-Yard Mnrrh Futile
In the third period tho Tigers, aided
by a 30-yard forward pass from Sailer
to Irwin, carried the ball 70 yards
to within a few yards of the Baker
goal line. Then a five-yard penalty

Baker forward woll failed and La
Grande lost yardage on an attempted
end run. Then, Instead of trying
something else, the next two plays
wero directed at the line, which held
and tho Bulldogs took the ball on
downs.
Baker Never Threatening
This was the only serious La Grande
threat following the touchdown, and
Buker did not at any time get posses-

American Accord Sought;

PARIS, Oct. 29 (PI Premier Ed
ouard Hcrriot today won the cham
ber of deputies over to a new French
disarmament plan providing for con
scrlptlonol armies in Europe ond
a short-term conscrlptlonal system.
American accord in such guarantees
for security as the United States
"had envisaged itself."
The conscript plan was the basis
of the new scheme and would abol
ish all professional armies, such as
guarantees was one of the condi
tions under which France would be
willing to launch Into the conscrlp
tlonal army plan. The point was not
outlined by the premier In his ad
dress to the chamber.
Just before debate closed, however,
the premier sold he hod token note
of the interpretation placed on the
Kellogg-Brlond pact by the American
secretary of state, Henry L. Stlmson.
Neutrality No linger Possible
This interpretation, he declared,
meont that neutrality no longer Is
possible. "Tho fact that there will
be no longer any Isolated wars Js
In Itself a guarantee," the premier
sold.
(In his recont New York speech,
Secretary Stlmson sold: ". . . . con
sultation between tho signatories of
tho (Kellogg-Brlond)) pact when
faced with the threat of Its viola
tion, becomes inevitable." The sec
retary had Just recalled the recently
pronounced American policy not to
recognize any situation, treaty or
agreement brought about contrary
to the pact, i. o., by aggression, and
the League of Nations' endorsement
of this position.)
The chamber voted confidence in
the government on tho new disarm
ament plan - by tho 'overw-ehnitg
count of 430 to 20 after the premier
had outlined the idea.
