COACH LYTLE PICKS ALL-EASTERN OREGON INTERSCHOLASTIC ELEVEN (By Dr. W. H. Lytle, Coach of Pen dleton H. S. Team.) Herbert, left end. Baker, cap tain. McColloch. left tackle. Baker. Bonnecamp, left guard, La Grande. Wolfr. center. The Dalles. Rondeau, right guard. The Dalles. Finch, right tackle. Baker. Johnson, right end, Wallowa. FInnell, left half, Pendleton. Hlnderman, fullgack, Pendle ton. Huntington, right half, The Dalles. Jordan, quarter, Pendleton. The above theoretical eleven repre sents, In my opinion, the very best team that could be chosen to repre sent eastern Oregon on the gridiron. In making my selection. I ave shift ed several of the players from their regular positions because such shifts would be necessary to secure the elev en best men and maintain an evenly balanced team. Halfback Herbert of Baker is mov ed to end because he plays that po sition equally as well as half. Ho is shifty, a good tackier and gets down the field fast and has weight to with stand abuse. McColloch of Baker is the best high school tackle in eastern Oregon. He hns weight, experience and intensity. Bonnecamp of La Grande, is moved trom his position of tackle to that of guard. He is shifty, follows tho play well and breaks through the line often. Wolff of The Dalles for center had the eas iest competition of all Tor his position as most of the centers were light and Inexperienced. Rondeau, right guard tv... iiuiw wan toeether with Wolff the offensive strength of their team. Thev opened practically all the holes through which Huntington mado his yardage. Finch, right tackle of Baker, was the heaviest man in the eastern Ore gon interscholastlc league. Though suffering from a broken bone In his wrist, he played throughout the sea son, using his 215 pounds of avolrdu- do1 to ston all plays directed at his side of the line. He was at all times a power on defense. Johnson, right end and captuln of the Wallowa team, Is given the opposite end of the line from Herbert. He is a good tackier, a fast man going down under punts and receives forward passes well, and has both weight and experience. FInnell. left half of Pendleton, Is BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF LATE G. W.

SCHOOL TAX MADE 9 MILLS The school tax for 1913 in the Pen dleton district will amount to nine mills, the same as levied by the coun cil for city purposes. At a meeting of the school board yesterday after noon, a nine mill levy was ordered. This is three mills more than levied last year, the increase being caused largely by the expense of furnishing and eouirtninir tho now hlc-h rhnnl DulI(lintf. It is M,lmate(j tnat ,t will require J 12,000 to fit the building properly. The county court has not yet made its 1913 levy but will do so at the Januarv term. 16 WITNESSES TO BE HEARD IN ARCH BALD CASE Washington, Dec. 6. Forty-six witnesses are yet to be examined in the Impeachment trial of Judge Arch bald. It Is decided the sessions will start at 1 p. m. and continue until 8 in the evening. The senate board of managers is anxious to complete the 'rial before the holidays. I the best all around back that has been seen in eastern Oregon for sev I eral years. He runs low, knees high and hits the line hard, stands abuse well and is strong on defense and fast at getting down the field. Hin derman, fullback on Pendleton, is the heaviest back in eastern Oregon. He pupts well, getting them off without being blocked. Is tho best forward passer In the state and hits the line like a pile driver, and is a tower of strength on defense. Huntington, full of The Dalles. Is moved to right half as he can play that position equally well and because of his lesser weight Is better adapted to hold that posi tion than Hlnderman. He punts equally as well as Hlnderman and is a good forward passer and a fine open field runner and a "moose" at going through the line. Jordan of Pendleton, is given the position of quarterback because he has weight and runs the best interference of any eastern Oregon quarter. He carries tho ball well from his position and is accurate in his passing. He In ad dition Is tho best receiver of forward passes in the league and is strong on defense and adept at blocking punts. Herbert of Baker, is given the cap taincy of the team because his school is winner of the eastern Ore gon championship and because he Is well able to captain such an aggrega tion. Tlie team as -elected has both weight and experience, a heavy active line, a fast, hard-hitting back field, two good punters and forward pass--ers, strong, active ends and all ster ling defense men. I have given three players each to Baker, The Dalles ind Pendleton, as all three teams were of almost equal merit. I could name many players who might proper ly bo given a position on this team and doubtless different selections would be made by other Judges, but I hae attempted to Impartially pick the best eleven men from the schools of eastern Oregon that would fit to gether best to make a strong, well balanced team. I nm free to say that If this team could be assembled and trained together, that there are many northwest colleges that would fall be lt. Unfortunately, the state champion ship cui not be determined this year. There aro In fact three claimants: Baker of eastern Oregon, Eugene of tho Willamette valley, and Washing ton High of Portland. On their own grounds any one of these teams should win over tho other two as there is admitted to be at least a one touchdown handicap when playing on the opponents' field. On neutral grounds, Washington High looks the strongest. GREECE AN BALKAN SAID! HAVE-AGREED 10 TERMS GOVERNORS TO SEE MR. TAFT Richmond. Va., Dec. 6.
