PAGE EIGHT. ; The Portland high school team yes terday defeated the Astoria high school eleven by a score of -0. The visitor deserved the victory, for they out played the home lads and gave much , the better exhibition of team work. In Justice to the Astoria boys, however. it should be said that four of the men in the team had never practiced with the others, were in the dark as to sly , rials and likewise ignorant as to the plays undertaken. Judging by the work of the Portlandera, bad the original Astoria, complement been out yesterday it would have been a 0-0 , game. The attendance was not as large aa It should have been. Some of the football enthusiasts were there, know ing that school games are always In teresting, but students were not as plentiful as the occasion justified. Thirty-five or 40 ladies and girls were In the grandstand to cheer for the locals, and there was a large and troublesome aggregation of' small boys on the sidelines; but the schools were not properly represented. The first half was a desperate strug gle from the start Most of the time the pig skin was in Astoria territory, but this signifies nothing, as it was carried but few yards one way or the other. Right at the start the superior team work of the Portland lads was apparent, and, while the Astorians oc casionally displayed dash and vigor, their line was frequently torn to pieces. MacDonald, Pugh, Nicholas and Reck ard repeatedly broke through and tackled the Astoria lad who was given the ball, and several punts were neces sitated through the failure of the As torians to make their yardage. But for that matter the viators had little margin. They would break up Astoria's Interference and hold the local team for downs, only to be held In turn. Oc casionally a run of 10 or 15 yards would enliven matters; but, generally, the game was a hard struggle for yard' age. Rosy Graham, who played right end for Astoria, frequently distinguish ed himself in the first half by going down with punts and tackling the Port land man the moment he caught the ball, and Sydney Sovey, Astoria's left end, also distinguished himself by his tackling. The half ended with the ball near the center of the field, neither team being able to score. In the second half the locals started . off like winners. They had been some ' what in the air during the first half, but at the second call of time they put some speed into their play. The ball was carried well toward Portland's goal and a score was looked for. How ever, poor team work and a weak line lost the ball for the locals. Early In the second half Vernon, a colored boy, who palyed left half for the visitors, came nearly scoring on a long run. He is very speedy and frequently out ran the Astorians. With perfect inter ference he started on a run around left end, but, with a clear field beyond him, he was tackled by Sovey and downed. A few moments after Graham tackled the little back for a loss on a play that probably would have resulted in a score. The only touchdown of the game came as a surprise. Davis, Portland' right half, had made several material gains. Within 10 minutes of the final call of time he was given the ball for a run around right end, where Harvey Allen had &en stationed. Davis was about 40 yards from Astoria's goal. He eluded Allen and his Interference cleared the way for htm. He crossed the goal line at the corner of the lot, but ran on until he planted the ball squarely behind the goal posts, enab ling Hoaford to kick an easy goal. The visitors were highly elated when Davis got In his pretty run, for they realised that the lone score meant vic tory. 4 During the remainder of the game the Astorians tried their best to even up accounts, but soon found them selves In rather an unenviable de fensive position. The Portland lads had won and they purposed to retain their victory. In consequence the lo cals weer unable to make much head way, and when time was called the ball was in neutral territory. It was an Interesting fight from start to finish. Stlne held down the full back position admirably and Emerson showed himself to be a most capable tackle. Hughes played his usual strong game at right halt but his failure to secure good Interference at times made it Impossible for him to gain as much yardage as he usually secures. Marlon at center was well able to care for his position, but the men near the center of the line seemed unable to withstand the rushes of the visitors. Graham's spectacular work was easily the'feature of the game and Sovey'i tackling was splendid. The backs and ends did their ' are, and good team work in the front line would have resulted in a scoreless game. The boys will Improve with this season's experience and nest year ought to be able to get up a champion ship team. The Portland lads were very well pleased with their treatment The game was cleanly played and the visit ors expressed their appreciation of the courtesies estended them. They would not agree to a return match, explaining that the team is now to disband for the season. The lineup yesterday was as follows: Astoria high school Center, Marlon; rlgh guard, S. Owens; right tackle, Emerson; right end, Graham; left guard, Johanson; left tackle, Belland; left end, Sovey; quarterback, Stuart; right half, Hughes; left half, Rogers; fullback, Stlne. During the game' O. Owens took Johanson's place, Johan son succeeding Belland; Graham went In at Rogers' place and Rogers played quarterback in Stuart's place. Portland high school Center, John son; right guard, MacDonald; right tackle, Pugh; right end, Newell-Mag-nue; left guard, Nicholas; left tackle, Reckard; left end, Lewis; quarterback. Hosford; right half, Davis; left half. Vernon; fullback, Harrison. Umpire, Mr. Abercromble; referee, Mr. Stockton; timekeeper, Harry Flavel. Portland's backs were the ground- gainers, but the front line is entitled to credit for the victory, for its Inter ference and team work were good.
