ESTAGADA H I1 WINS
EASILY OVER GRESHAM
Estacada A fter Four Minutes
of Play Puts the Ball Across
for the First Touchdown
ESTACADA 54-— GRESHAM 0
Our Ends Worried Gresham
and Kept Them in Fear
of that Long Pass
The score really tells the tale
o f the Estacada-Gresham game
Friday, Nov. 22.
Gresham won
the toss and chose to defend the
north goal.
Estacada received
the ball on the kickoff and in two
or three plays, had the ball over
for the first touchdown inside of
four minutes, and repeated the
trick again a few minutes later.
Every time Estacada got the ball
it was a signal for a touchdown
and a total o f eight times across
the line and four goals made up
the score.
The best gains were
made with the long forward pass
and end runs, but line bucks and
short passes were usually success­
ful as well.
Gresham showed promise a few
times during the slaughter but
could not gain consistently when
gains counted.
Our ends kept
them continually worried and in
fear of that long pass.
This garrte gives Estacada a
total score for the season o f 137.
Her opponents total zero.
This
record, together with the defeat
administered to Oregon City
earlier in the season may be the
grounds for the fact that Oregon
City has cancelled the Thanks­
giving game with Estacada.
This was to have been played on
the home grounds and would have
given Estacada a chance to break
even, since they paid their own
expenses to Oregon City.
Eugene High School is claiming
the Willamette Valley champion­
ship, having recently defeated
McMinnville who also defeated
Oregon City. We are quite sure
that Estacada would not feel sat­
isfied to yield the banner without
a struggle and a championship
game is being arranged to be
played in Portland.

The
Thanksgiving
Service.
The main auditorium of the
High School was filled with a re­
presentative gathering for the
Thanksgiving commemoration at
10:30 a.m.
The
proceedings
were opened with the singing of
America by the whole audience,
and then the curtain wasrungup
disclosing the Primary Red Cross
section o f the schools, which
sang “ The Battle Cry o f Free­
dom .” The children looked very
pleasing, the girls with their Red
Cross caps and knitting bags,
and the boys with Red Cross
sleeve bands and carrying small-
flairs which they waved during
the chorus. The Rev. J. F. Dun­
lop then offered a solemn invoca­
tion, which was followed by an
address by Mayor Bartlett, in
which he gave an interesting ac­
count of the development o f the
observance of Thanksgiving Day
from its initiation by the Puritan
fathers as a harvest home festi­
val to its becoming a national
festival. The Senior Intermedi­
ate choir followed this address by
singing “ America the Beautiful” •
which elicited a well deserved
encore. The next speaker was
the Editor o f the News, who for
the time being reassumed his
clerical character.
His theme
was that for the greater benefit
o f the world, civilization and hu­
manity, it was better that the
war Should have been fought to a
finish. The High School girls
then sang the French National
anthem “ The Marsellaise, ” after
which the Rev. J. F. Dunlopspoke
on the fruits of the w ar‘ in the
furtherance o f sobriety by na­
tional prohibition and the incul­
cation o f economy.
The prog­
ram closed with the singing of
“ Keep the Home Fires Burning”
by the Senior Intermediate choir,
and the benediction by the Rev.
J. F. Dunlop.
'Mrs. L. H. Wells and daughter
Miss Alice, the mother and sister
respectively of Dr. L. A. Wells,
were guests of the latter Thanks­
giving. The Dr. says that Lee
Arrington, Jr., did justice to the
wing and the drumstick at this
his first Thanksgiving dinner.
