C. H. 8. WINS GAME
FROM AMERICAN LEGION
The Crook county high school foot
ball team won a well-earned victory
from the team representing the Am
erican Legion at the high school grid
iron on Armistice Day by a score of
14 to 7. Although they received the
breaks in the game at a time when
defeat was facing them, they outplay
ed their heavier opponents and made
yard after yard through the line.
Their team work was the best seen on
the local grounds this year. Prompt
ly at three o'clock before the largest
crowd which has atto.ided a football
game this year, Huston for the high
school kicked off. the hall being re
turned to the middle of the field. Sev
eral times during the first half the
high school was close to the Legion
goal hut did not have the punch to
put It over. Brosius was the star of
the game and did most of the ground
gaining for tho Legion team. Time
after time he made yardage and soon
after the start of the game scored the
only touchdown which was scored by
the Legion team. He followed this
by kicking a very difficult goal. The
high school made all their scores in
the last ten minutes of the game and
showed their ability to come from be
hind and fight. A series of forward
pases Davis to Miller brought the
ball to within scoring distance when
Ogden Mills pushed it over, Davis
kicking goal.
With the score tied they fought
harder than ever and at this point
received the break which gave them

A LARGE REPRESENTAIOF MEN IN UNIFORM
Football Game Hard Fought Dinner
Pronounced Ahead of Army Chow.
A comfortably filled house at the
Commercial Club auditorium on Tues
day welcomed the returned veterans
of the great war, and fitting music
and addresses were delivered on the
occasion.
J. H. Upton acted as chairman of
the day, invocation was asked by
Rev. W. L. Van Nuys, and the address
of welcome to the soldiers was deliv
ered by Judge Wallace.
More than a hundred returned vet
erans, most of them in uniform, were
present to enjoy the occasion pre
pared for them. They marched a
few blocks before the opening of the
program at the hall, making the
parade short.
Judge Wallace received hearty ap
plause when he suggested that
"Fritz" and all of his kind be severe
ly dealt with In this country, Just as
tliey were across the water, and while
he did not mention hand grenades
and like receptions, left the inference
that all agitators should be compelled
to be good, regardless of what was re
quired to get that result.
the game. With the ball in the cen
ter of the field Brosius dropped back
to punt and Darrol Mills breaking
through the line blocked the kick, re
ceiving a nasty kick from Brosius
which will put him out of the game
for the present. Mills ability to break
through the Legion line was a feat
ure of the game. Coshow picked up
the ball, running thirty-five yards o
a touchdown, and Davis kicked goal.
With the game lost, quarterback
Yancy opened np with a series of for
ward passes which came very near
being disastrous for the high school.
The game ended with the ball on the
high school twenty-five yard line.
The high school team play the Bend
high school at Redmond on November
20 for the championship of Central
Oregon, each having won one game.
This game will be worth seeing and

TWENTY-TWO MILES DAILY .
TO ATTEND C. C. H. S.
(By Ruth Adamson) ' ..
Twenty-two miles a day in a Ford
car. to attend the Crook County high
school, has been the record main
tained all fall by three students of I
one family, Andrew, Veronica, and
Horace Breen, who make the ride to
and from the school from their farm
home eleven miles northwest of here.
Cold, frosty mornings, and all kinds
of weather have failed to break the
undaunted will and determination of
the three students, who thus far have
not missed a day of school. At pres
ent, they hold the record for coming
the greatest distance daily to attend
the institution.
The students are members of the
freshman. Junior, and senior classes
respectively. An older sister who
teaches a rural school, and .8, younger
sister who attends the same school,
also accompany the high school stu
dents a portion of the distance.

LINE UP OR GET OUT
..The shooting down from am
bush of fonr marching veterans
of the great war on Tuesday by
red radicals shows the results of
tolerating these people tn any
community. ,
In old times, any man who
spoke disrespectfully of the flag
the government or the govern
ment heads was considered guil
ty of treason.
Too much leniency has been
shown in the treatment of these
agitators and the tragedy Tues
day is one of the many results.
These red agitators are not true
representatives of union labor,
have no real connection with la
bor or other organizations, and
should be treated as enemies to
the country and nothing less.
To the radical we would sug
gest: If this country is not good
enough for you, get out ! There
is room for you and your kind
where you came from, across the
water, Yon had best move while
the moving is good and before it
is too late!
