By reason of an 8 to 0 victory won
yesterday at Hound-Up pnrk, Pendle
ton high school football team today
holds the undsputed championship of
eastern Oregon. Reversing all "dope"
on the game and surprising the stal
wart from the mining town as much
as the local funs, Coach Lytle'g snap
py gridiron scrappers demonstrated
their superiority from the first whis
tle to the last, although man to man
they were outweighed by twelve
pounds.
Not once did tho Baker huskies
come within striking distance of the
Pendleton goal and there was never
any doubt in the minds of students
of the game as to the final outcome.
Time and again the local boys carried
the ball far into their opponent's ter
ritory and It was only by chance that
they did not roll up a larger score.
Three attempted trials at a- goal from
placement failed although In two of
them the ball ml-sed sailing between
the posts by a few feet. At another
time, th Raker line held on the four
yard line and prevented another
touchdown.
Old Stylo vs. New.
Tho game was a contest between
the old style and the new style foot
ball with the exponents of the latter
proving the superiority of their tac
tics every minute of the four quarters.
The Raker team relied on straight
lino smashing football to win tho
game but bumped up against a great
surprise when the light Pendleton
line failed to crumblo before their re
peated onslaughts. The Pendleton
lads played open and fast and their
spreads, shifting line-ups, forward
passes and crisscross plays seemed to
mystify the blue and white giants.
When they thought they had solved
one play, onother Just ns Intricate was
executed and repeatedly they lost
twenty yards In one down.
In the first few minures of play
when It was found that the light line
men of the local school were able to
stop tho terrific smashes of the heavy
Raker backs hope sprank upln tho
hearts of the rooting students and
when tho fast backs and ends showed
that they could make consistent yard
age, their Joy knew no bounds.
Star Were Numerous.
It Is a d!fflcult task to pick out the
Pendleton stars of yesterday, so
splendidly did each man perform the
part assigned him by Coach Lytle and
assistant. Coach Asbahr. Captain
Hlnderman and Cliff Jordan were the
best ground gainers of the team and
frequently ran the ends or tore
through tho center for five, ten and
twenty yards. Ivan Sturdlvant at
center was one of the scrappiest men
In the fray and. was always nt hand
when there was a fumble. The work
of Thompson and McDonald at ends
was conspicuous, while Chapman ns
an open field runner did splendid
work. The trusty boot of Fee was re
sponsible for tho first three points of
1 ho game and was always a menace
to the Rnkerltos. ,
For the defeated team, the two
most formidable men were McCord,
the l!r pound fullback, ond Bron
auch. the speedy half, both of whom
at times made big gains through the
line and who were always a source or
worry to the local players.
The work of tho team yesterday
was 100 per cent better than tha,t dis
played in tho Walla Walla game and
testified much to the effective work
of the coaches However, a share of
glory belongs to the serond tenm men
who have donned their suits each eve
ning to oppose the regulars that they
might secure nctu.il practice work In
offensive and defensive work.
Story "f tinmo.
Raker won the toss nnd kicked off
to Hlnderman. who returned the ball
ten yards before being downed. Pen
dleton then started a series of trick
plays that bewildered tho opponents.
Tho first signal called for a forward
pass and had Jordan held it when ho
ruught he would have made a touch
down, ns tho field before him was
clear. On tho next play Hlnderman
made ten yards on a spread forma
tion, but n forward pass Immediately
afterwards g2vo tho ball to Baker.
Their first pass was fumbled -by
the miners nnd Sturdlvant fell on
tho ball. Thompson advanced the
hall three yards on an end run, but
Chapman was thrown on the next
piny for a loss. A forward pass mis
carried and Raker again secured the
ball.
After falling to buck tho line the
miners punted to Hlnderman, who
was downed on his own ten-yard line.
On the first play, however, tho Pen
dleton captain got away for a 35
yard ond run and the rooters went
wild. Rakor, however, capturod a
forward pass and had the ball In hos-

Atyo Returned ti Writer.
Wilkcs-Barre. Pa., Nov. IS. John
Madden of Towanda. near here, who
was a member of the Third Pennsyl
vania Heavy Artillery during the civil
war, has received a letter which he
wrote to his wife when he was sta
tioned at Fortress Monroe forty-seven
years ago.
Where the letter has been all these
years be does not know. It arrived
In a different envelope from that in
which it was sent and was postmark
ed Howanda.
Madden's impression Is that It was
received by some person for whom it
was not Intended ond has been either
helj or mislaid during nil these years.
What the motive for returning It at
this late day is he does not know.
In the letter he urgently requested
his wife to get him a pair of "pants."

Los Angeles, Nov. li. When Judge
Pordwell qualified eight more venire
men in the llcNamara trial today, 305
talesmen had been drawn and only
six Jurors had been accepted.
Every effort Is being made to com
plete tlie Jury not later than Dec. 15.
It is certain that greater progress can
be made during the next fortnight, as
Judge Bordwell has made a ruling
fixing the limit on the extent to which
each side may go into the examina
tion of veniremen.
Rumor that the state will demand
jthat fourteen men be qualified to j
serve on the jury two to act as re
serves in case of Illness or death of
any of the regular twelve was re
vived today.
lawyers who are not connected
with the case say the California law.
allowing a judge to qualify Jurors of
this character would nullify the pro
ceedings, as the law is unconstitu
tional. Eight jurors have qualified. One
of them, J. H. Marshall, a retired
hardwareman, was parsed by the de
fense and prosecution, although he
Is opposed to circumstantial evidence.
A short recess was at noon taken
and a new venire of fifty names was
drawn to report Monday.
As Marshall is a neighbor of D!s
trict Atttorney Fredericks and he
showed animosity toward the unions,
it is likely the defense will perempt
orily challenge h'm later.
When court adjourned until Mon
day Darrow was interrogating Fred De
. Meyer, a real estate man. He said
he was prejudiced against labor
unions.

San Francisco, Cel., Nov. 18. Fore

Harriman railroad system, to dissolve
the agreements between the four Har
riman western railroads, which was
announced today. The Southern Pa
cific, Oregon Short Line, O.-W. R. &
N., and Union Pacific companies will

The letter was written in a spirit of

Washington 17, Oregon 3.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 18 At Mult
nomah field this afternoon the foot
ball elevens from the University of
Oregon and the University of Wash
ington are waging one of the fiercest
gridiron struggles In the history of
the northwest athletics.
With the teams very equally match
ed as to weight and experience, and
with the northwest collegiate champ
ionship at stake the game is a battle
royal. '
Prior to the game Coach Warner
of Oregon, expressed his feelings with
this remark:
"I realize that we are going- up
against a team equally as strong as
that which has represented Washing
ton for the past two or three years,
and in spite of the impression which
the northerners have given of fear
ing the outcome, we shall not be ta
ken unaware when the opening whis
tle blows."
Speaking of the game Coach Dobie
of Washington said:
"I am surprised that the dope con
tinues to make Washington such a
strong favorite over Oregon. Surely
the facts do not warrant such an esti
mate. Washington will be outweigh
ed between seven and 12 pounds to
the man by Oregon and th's will un
doubtedly be a great advantage on
this kind of a field. I know that the
Washington team feels that the ad
vantage Is with Oregon, but they will
go on the field determined to give the
besf that Is in them."
