?. jw that school Is well under way
tl e moleskin artists of the Hermiston
high school are working hard In or-
d r to develop a strong team. Coach
’cols that he will have a
-hifty combination ready to
e the A thena eleven on the wheat
elt ETldiron this Friday in the first
■ame of the season.
Although the team will be at a dls-
aiTi anta;;e because of lack of weight.
•(.’'. rich cibson Is relying on speed and
deception. The line will be the light­
est in several seasons, averaging no
more than 140 pounds, but the back-
rield will be made up of veterans.
Due to graduation, only three vete­
ran linemen are back In this year's
llneap. The backfield will be prac­
tice ly the same as last season, with
the exception of Kennings, veteran
arter and captain-elect.
Due to injuries received last year
Kennings Is unable to turn out for
practice now, but will probably be
back in his old position later in the
season.
Coach Cibson has a system of his
own which he calls "The Wing Back
System," and by this Idea he believes
he will have a much more effective
passing combination with no strength
lost in bucking the line. Another
new Idea is the unbalanced line which
will greatly aid In protecting the-
passer and yet leaving the forward
wall as effective as ever In gaining
yardage thru the line.
Coach Gibson expresses himself by
saying, “A football team Is -only as
strong as Its substitutes and unless
we discover a few more good second
string men, we will be greatly handi­
capped. Altho we have practically
an entire new line to develop, I feel
confident that we will give any team
our size a fight to the finish. I would
like to see a few more men turning
out so we could give the first string
something to work aganst, but we
can play football with eleven men
and as long .as ws have eleven men,
good and true, wt will play football.”
The schedule is not yet complete
but at present there are five games
assured, with prospects of three more.
Of the scheduled games, the first ts

Two games are scheduled with Hepp­
ner, the first to be here during the
Umatilla Project Fair. Carnes are
a|so assured with Kennewick and
Pendleton, and Condon, Pilot Rock
and Arlington are good prospects.
Last year's lettermen who are back

good, aggressive men.
Harold Bills, a three year back­
field star from Enterprise, started in
sdhool this week and will be out for
practice soon. This means another
good man for the Hermiston team.
Last year the Hermiston team was
a strong contender for county hon­
