This is the fourth consecutive vic
tory for Prineville, with practically
the same lineup throughout the sev
eral games.

Redmond Is second to Prineville in
standing. Since they were defeat
ed 47 to 7 by Prineville during the
Potato Show they have been coming
up the line In fine shape, having de
feated both Bend and Madras, and
the improved showing they have re
cently been making predicts a close
game between Redmond and Prine
ville Saturday.
People who witnessed the game
last Saturday state that there was
more friendly feeling between the
two teams and their supporters than
has ever heretofore been shown be
tween the two opponents in the pastt
and that Bend proved themselves ex
cellent losers.
