Pendleton t high school's basketball team was defeated here last night In a rout,h and tumble game by Pa ke! high school, score: Raker, 36, Pendleton., 19. Hanley and Htendal were the stara l&e ' the visitors and Ulakely for the win ners. Fast teamwork was re sponsible for taker's victory. Any question concerning the elig ibility of athletes representing Pendle ton high school may be settled by presentation of the faeta to the board of control of the Oregon High School Association, H. E. Inlow, superintend ent of schools, said today, following receipt of notice from Baker that Haker high school has protested the eligibility of Myron Hanley and Ken neth Ktendal, members of the local basketball team. "Baker has had opportunity since September to file Its protest and re ceive the decision of the proper tri bunal,'' Mr. Inlow said today. "We are perfectly willing that that body, not the Portland newspapers, shall be selected for an airing of the facts." The protest was not filed until yes terday, following the arrival in Baker of the local squad to jilay a series of two basketball games. Notice of the protest was served on Coach Hanley about 7:30 when he brought his team onto the floor to begin the game. Twenty minutes of argument ensued, following which the game waa taken up. Baker won the ga"me. Protest Gold Footballs A second grdund upon which Baker bases protest is the receipt by mem bers of the football team recently of tiny gold footballs, given by the Pen dleton Kotary Club to 16 boys in ap preciation of their having won for Pendleton the football championship of Eastern 6Yegon. The protest Is based on the allegation of Baker that the trophies have Intrinsic value. "We gave these footballs not as any reward for service but In appreciation of a victory," Kev. George L. Clark, chairman of the boys' work committee of the Kotary Club, said today. "They J uae iiu luirmsic aiue our are purely extrinsic. The Rotary Club believes it has violated fio rule'of the High School Athletic Association and cer tainly would, not do so. The club did not give sweaters to any member of the team.' . - Following the award of the mono gram letters' to members of the foot ball squad weeks ago, the boys voted to buy themselves navy olue sweaters. These have not yet been deliveaaxl. Neither Kenneth Stendal nor Myron Hanley, tho boys protested, has yet or dered a sweater nor has .provision been made for their receiving, one. Residence Rule Clear. Under the residence rules' of the state high school athletic code, both boys are eligible to cpmpete in athlet ics. The second semester began Jiere last Monday and both registered after having earned credits in all their first semester subjects. Baker's on4y ground for protest, it is pointed out, lies in the decision of the board of control as to the intrinsic or extrinsic value of the trophies given by the Ro-, tarians. 'i "Baker's request that certified cop ies of the guardianship papers of Stendal and Hanley be lorwarded them was not complied with because that is no longer a consideration, ' said Austin Landreth, principal of the high-school today. "Both have re s.oed in this district for a full semes- ter nnd are thus fully eligible to conv ppte In athletics, regardless of any le-! gal proceedidtes." Mr. Landreth. like Mr. Inlow. ex pressed his willingness and desire that any matters in connection with elig ibility be threshed out in the .proper tribunal. Both decried the "grand- ! stand" tactics of the Raker superin- lendenfFrpiuiKS Itrown, as being conductive to bad feeling and poor sport sn.tnship. OHl Sore .Never Ilrnlcd. The Uukcr protest, it is said on good authority here, goes well into past his tory, Two years ago liaker, in a track meet, run a man whom Pendleton pro- J tested as ineligible.. The state board of control upheld the protest. Last fall, during the fooniail season,' Pftker also talked ot protesting the same men against whom complaint was filed yes terday.
