Gresham Beats Us 13 To 7
Contributed
Last Friday they came forth.
Not the bunch that avoided meet
ing our boys and taking their
punishment last year, but a new
bunch, said to be all new but one
man.
They beat our boys, yet they
did not wallop them, neither did
they walk over them.
Everything went lovely during
the first half with E. H. S. mak-
ng a touchdown and steady prog
ress with line-bucks, end-runs
and short passes. But alas the
last half opened with a man in
Gresham’ s back-field, who could
outrun anything in Eastern Clack
amas County, the deer in the hills
not excepted. They even claim
that he ran circles around James-
John’s “ Chink” .
This runner got away twice
and made long runs for touch
downs both times.
The game was well played on
both sides, with good sportsman
ship, clean playing and a close
score making the contest well
worth the spectator’s time and
money.
