Another important football game
in the Big Nine league is scheduled
to be played this afternoon, Friday,
October 17 on the Canby grid when
the Estacada Rangers clash with the

Last Friday afternoon the Sandy
Pioneers scored an easy victory over
Estacada on the local field winning
by a score of 34 to 0. The Sandy
lads are tough and fart but nobody
expected them to be that tough.

gers after their argument today with
Canby, namely the game with Silver-
ton at Estacada next Friday, Octo.

and Gresham has always been held
on Armistice day in previous years
