First of those two half steps came after the first, touch down, when a La Grande player was off side on the successful try for point; the second came in the closing minutes of the game when Glen lloule ran 65 yards to the Pendleton 13 yard line and was forced out of bounds by Hoxie, streak back for the liuckaroos. It appeared Motile was loose with only the goal ahead, but Hoxie, passing up several blockers and two or three of his own teammates, was in time. 15 First Downs La Grande had all the best of the statistics, except in the pass ing depaitmcnl. Pendleton's passing game was working 30 well that five straight passes took the Ruckaroos the length of the field for a touchdown. La Grande made IS first downs. 10 in the first half; and Pendleton made 11, five in the first half. Ward of La Grande kicked off to Hoxie who was stopped by Houlc on the 18. Hoxie was smeared on the line by Gilmoro, but Marshall, a hard running full back, went all the way to the La Grande 47 on a thrust off tackle. Rugg plunged for five yards, Stein slopping him. Break Up Pass Holeman, quarter, was stopped by Gilstrap on the 32 and on his next try was stopped after a yard gain by West. Hoxie tried to pass to Holeman and Ihe play was broken up by Schilling. Mar shall, on a delayed buck, was smeared by Bohnenkamp. Ruggs punt went into the end zone. Houle then began the first of his several brilliant gains and plunged off tackle for seven yards, Marshall stopping him. Malone who made both Ln Grande touchdowns, made a firs', down on a buck to the 8. Gil strap made no progress through the middle and Houlc moved up to the 40, Rugg bringing him down. Stopped on 15 Shoemake came in for Houle and after a five yard gain, Gil" strap pushed up to the 37 for the. third straight first down. An other end run by Malone brought the ball to a first on the 24. Slill another try for firsl down was stopped by Marshall and Siminson, who threw Shoemaker. Gilstrap and Malone for short gains and took the ball on the 15. Pendleton tried some line plays hut got nothing past the alert La Grande line and Rugg, who punts 50, 00 and 70 yards either into the wind or with it, kicked to the La Grande 40. Point Missed Gilstrap, Shoemaker and Ben nett look turns in moving the ball and brought it in three wide runs to the Buckaroos 10 yaid line. From here Houle, who against replaced Shoemaker, cracked through for eight yards on two tries, Malone carried it for a first down on the four ya'd line after Gilstrap had made an other yard at cooler, Malone ran wide around his own left end for 1 touchdown. The stands went wilil as Gil strap plunged over for the point but the play was nullified by an off side penally and the pass at tempt from the eight was no good. Pay Off After Waid kicked off again, Holeman, Hoxie and Marshall be gan a sustained' drive which carried them from the 18 yard line to middle of the field, where they were stopped and Hugg kicked to Bennett on the eight yard line. Clipping sot La Grande back to'lhe four and Ward's punt to Holeman on the 40 was pretty low and the Pendleton f I a s h brought it back 15 yards. Ihixie to Holeman passing combination clicked twice, a clipping penalty on I. a Giande gave Pond let on u firsl down on the 12 and a Rugg to Hoxie pass was completed in the end zone but the play was called back for clipping. Rugg's next pass was knocked down. Gil strap was shaken on the play and time was called. Rugg's pass to Hudson in the end zone was knocked down by alert La Grande back's but Rugg's toss to Holeman in the flat was com pleted and Holeman scampeiod to pay dirt. In the next fow miifutes, one of the prettiest plays of the game came off. Alter Ward's punt had been blocked and be had recov eiod it on his 38 yard line. Ben nett tossed a long spiral to Schilling on the Pendleton 36. Schilling took the ball over his left shoulder on a dead urn but was forced out of bounds by a screen of PendlMon players He was sui rounded bv tacklers and it appeared h.- could not possibly make the catch. Penalties Pile Up Tim.. .inH ...... In i., 11... " "t.n. ... iiiv uiiimi quartor, La Grande saw some long gain nullified by penalties for illegal shift or for back field in motion or offside. Tiger pass ing was not clicking and when Pendleton took the ball and in five plays made 57 yards, good for a touchdown it looked like a longi last half. Rugg pasted to Holeman, to Korvola to Hoxie and twice more to Holeman, the last time as he crossed the goal line. Four pa;,s plays out of five were completed. Add Ionian's kick was wide as was his attempt after the first touch down. But La Grande was not to be denied. Shoemake, Gilstrap, and Malone, screened by a fast charg ing line, came crashing down field; and after end runs by lloule, who replaced Shoemake from timet to time, off tackle plays by Malone and line thrusts by Gilstrap and Bennett, Malon smacked over from the four yarn line. Again the try for point, a pass from Bennett to Gilstrap, was no good. Long Gain It was shortly after ti.it, that Houle again broke loose for a long gain. But after taking the ball to the 13 yard line, the Tigers were unable to advance, in fact a stiffened Buckaroo line pushed them back to the 10, where Bennett was finally smoth ered as he tried to pass. Hole man, Hoxie and Rugg were hit ling the line for short gains as the game ended. Korvola, Eichner and Siminton managed to be thorns in the side of the La Grande backfield most of the evening. Any play which did not get past the scrimmage line seemed inevitably to be stopped by one of the three. For La Grande, Bohnenkamp, Carey, Schilling and West spent a lot of their time smearing Pen dleton's backfield. Stein was a rock on defense and a powerhouse on offense, pulling out of the line to lead blockers frequently. Lineups: La Grande Pos. Pendleton Schilling L.E Korvnlr.
