Twice Victory Only
Step Out of Reach
Twice last night only half a step stood between La Grande
hijfh school Timers and victory over the Pendleton liuckaroos;
and both times that half step was there and the game ended
in a 12 to 12 tie.
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.
