The visitors wer« weak in punting ability and early in th« firnt quarter Johnson at safety re turned a short punt for a touchdown. The Arlingtonians crossed the Wasco goal line once in the first quarter for their lone counter and only once in th« second canto did the visitors threaten to score. McKinney in the Arlington backfield showed plenty of football ability but the Arlington boys were slightly outclassed in every department of the game- The War riors, Walsh and Spencer, Mrew many favorable comments from the side lines for their exceptional ability at hooking passes out of the ozone. The arel route was the Warriors long suit and Walsh was the outstanding man of the gaeqe and perhaps carried the ball in the majority of the plays throughout the second and third quarters. - ’ The local boys show team work and a fair degree of ability in tackling and blocking.
