Crook County High School Boys
Slightly Disfigured but Still in the Ring
The Crook County High School
team played a scoreless game
with Hood River last Friday. It
was the hardest game our boys
ever had. The opposing team
was much lighter than the wear
ers of the Orange and Rlue but
they had a much longer acquaint
ance with the p'g skin and were
fust and full of tricks.
From the time Captain Myers
booted the oval far into the ene
my's territory for the first kick
off until near the end of the sec
ond quarter, the game was
fought near the center of the
field, neither side being able to
advance the ball.
The second "half started with a
rush and the play was varied to
such an extent that the opposing
team were swept off their feet.
The ball was carried to Hood
River's 10 yard line, Roy McCal
lister, Robert Lister and Arthur
O'Neil doing most of the work.
At this point the opposition held.
They could not advance the ball
and on second down lost it on a
fumble. Once more the C. C. H.
S. warriors began their march
toward the goal but once more
were held. Hood Rirer tried a
punt but Livingston broke
through and blocked it, C C.
H. S. ball on Hood River's 5-yard
line. The first play failed, the
second resulted in a fumble
which Roland McCallister swept
tel. J smki
manufacturers' guarantee stands
behind it.

Address the Crook County Jourf
nal Contest Editor, Prineville,
Oregon. You can send tbe paper
any where and to whom you
please. Tbe following is the cou
pon: up and carried over for a touch
down. The referee refused to
allow it. Time ended the play.
It was too dark to finish it so the
game was called at the close of
the third period.. Neither side
making a score.
Next day the C. C. H. S. team
met The Dalles High School boys.
It was a fierce game from the
kick-off. Before the end of the
first quarter The Dalles scored
a touchdown. This was the
first score ever made against the
Prineville boys. However, they
could not overcome the handicap
under which they were laboring.
All were stiff from the game the
day before, and besides the field
was unliko the one at home. JOur
boys were up against a team that
had played the game for years.
As a consequence they were out
played and out-pointed but not
disgraced. The Dalles worked
hard for every inch of ground.
The C. C. H. S. boys are deter
mined to reverse the count when
The Dalles comes here for a re
turn game November 17, .
The Bend High School will play
Prineville nest Saturday, No
vember 11.
The Dalles High School will be
here November 17.
The Hood River Boosters will
play here on Thanksgiving. No
vember 80.
The people of Prineville and
vicinity will have a chance to see
real foot ball and it is to be hoped
they will be out in force to root
for the home team.
Prineville Should Have
Athletic Association
It bas been suggested that Prine
ville organize an athletio associa
tion for tbe purpose of systematiz
ing and encouraging all branches
oi amateur athletics, thus giving
members of such an organization a
personal interest in the various
sports.
More teams could be organized
which could play with each other
and develop better material for the
representative teams, and if enough
interest were shown to justify it
classes could be started in wres
tling, boxing and athletics of that
character, which would not only
tend to better . physical develop
ment, but furnish an injoyable
diversion for the long winter
months ahead.
Princeton Athlete
Located Here
Another branch of athletes that
is well represented in Prineville is
that of which Frank Gotch of
Humboldt, Iowa, is the leading ex
ponent, namely, wrestling.
Mr. Gilmour, who is the Prine
ville representative of the North
west Townsite Company of Phila
delphia, which has recently ac
quired a considerable tract of land
adjoining town for platting pur
poses, is a wrestler of note, having
been a member of the Princeton
University team for three years,
He competed in the large Eastern
intercollegiate contests. Prince
ton won the chamionship during
his senior year 1910. Mr. Gil
mour bas been showing some of
the local bovs a few of the fine
points of the art, and is enthusias
tic over the merits of wrestling as
an enjovable and beneficial form
of exercise.
Road Grading Crew
Nearly Through
Commissioner Bailer and bis
road crew, who are encamped at
the Crooked river bridge, have
about two more weeks' work
in this neighborhood before dis
banding for the winter. Lots of
work has been put on tbe grade
west of Prineville and much yet re
mains to be done. It has heen
neglected for a long time and where
tormeriy there was a crown to the
road there is now a gutter. The
craile hag been widened an
dangerous angles have been straight
enea as mucn as possible. The
debris from the blasting is used to
fill up holes. Men and teams are
also at work on the swales between
nere ana liedmond. There are
eighteen men, three teams, a black
smithing outfit, fresnos, Blips, etc.
A regular grading outfit.
