Watts d S?oycrs Tlfoston, Oregon LOCALS DEFEATED BY PURPLE GIANTS Chasing Jackrabblts and coyote In Echo fields, the "Purple Giants" have developed a, world of speed. Warmed by an Echo sun they have grown long- limbed and lithe and powerful. They are almoat marvelous physical speci mens. At least three of them could qualify aa "while hopes." In the opinion of The Leadefa a porting editor. The "Dutch Flyers" of Weston were hopelessly outclassed In Tuesday eve ning's melee. Coach Gels mournful ly admitted aa much. With the pos sible exception of Center Turner the Echo Giants could have tossed any one of their local opponents Into the bas ket with about the same ease aa they did the ball. Our home ' boys were plucky and fought the best they knew how not too gently at times but the visitors would playfully brush them aside and smile . at their Lilliputian antics. The acore was 35 to 10, and the lo cals did nobly to hold their lanky and muscular opponents down so well. Echo lined up as follows: Charles Hosklns. captain and cen ter; Fred Hoeklns. right forward; Fred Markham. left forward: Jess Mathes. right guard; Lemuel Esteb, left guard; Bill Hosklns. sub. The game was played for Weston by Turner, Blomgren, Proebstel, Lleual len, Smith and Klrkpatrlck. Bulflnch. sub. u : Referee, C. A. Gilbert of Echo; um pire. E. E. Gelss of Weston. The "Purple Giants" went from here to Walla Walla to meet a crack team there. While on their tour they will play any games they can get In Ore gon. Washington or California. Thev were beaten at .Walla Walla, 35 to 15, Cody Cox tossinjf nine goals. FARM WORK IS WANTED FOR THE UNEMPLOYED The Spokane Chamber of Commerce haa aatrted a movement, and asks The Leader to help give it publicity, to-a ward the solution of the unemployment problem by sending men who want work to Inland Empire farms. War ren Latham, manager of the Christian Home for Men, states that many of the men at his Institution are willing to do farm work during the winter tor their board and keep. ; In a statement outlining tho plan, Thomaa S Griffith, president of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, says: "The Spokane Chamber of Com merce Is making earnest efforts to re lieve the situation, and we believe that the best and moat practical way of caring for unfortunates is to give them something to do. These men, if placed on the farms of the Inland Empire, where many of them are willing to work for their board during the win ter, can be made of positive good to all of us. 'We hope that farmers who can use these men will notify the Chris tian Home for Men In Spokane." , AX UWTAT10H TO WORSHIP Gospel meetings will begin at the Church cf tha Brethren next Sunday eveniDjf, December 13, to be. conduct ed bv Elders Miller and Gordon, for merly of Oklahoma.
