SUBSCRIPTION. $2.00 PER YEAR UMATILLA PROJECT FAIR OPENS TOMORROW BULLDOGS READY TO MEET STRONG PILOT ROCK ELEVEN LOCKET TEAM BEST IN THIS SECTION. Won Opening Game With Heppner 12-0; Bulldogs Drop Athena Game 6-0. Preparing for the encounter with Pilot Rock here Saturday, has kept Hermiston Hi gridsters busy the past week developing new plays and trying new combinations of players. The Pilot Rock team is the Bull dog's most formidable foe of the sea son. having won its opening game with Heppner 12-0. This victory may well serve as a warning of the Rock et’s strength as the Heppner team is composed of precisely the same players with whom Hermiston had such a fight to win 6-0 last Armis tice Day. Major changes in the Bulldog line- up include Martin from fullback to wing half, Hamman from center to full, and Pierce, sub, to center with Evans and Bensel alternating at quarter. This combination proved strong during the second half of the game with Athena last week, the Athena team being unable to score against it. The Ione score of the game came in the second quarter against the combination Hermiston used against Kennewick when Pick ett, star sprinter from the foothills, caught a pass and raced forty yards to a touchdown. Further drills on old plays and the addition of new ones have put the Bulldogs into form that will keep Pilot Rock busy at all times, and the game should provide plenty nf thrills and probably will carry sore throats as a sideline. The line-up for the Athena game was as follows: Hermiston C. Wells F. Reeves Settle E. Pierce Harris Stewart Hamman Bensel Evans Hunt Martin L.E. -L.T. L.G. C. R.G. R.T. R.E. Q.B. R.H. L.H. F.B. Athena Weber Dudley Cambell Singer Rogers Town Miller Jenkins A. Moore Geissel Pickett Substitutions: Hermiston, Len hart for Stewart; Moore for Ham man: Hamman for Martin; Martin for Bensel. Athena: B. Moore for Rogers; Murphy for Pickett; Pick ett for Murphy; Rogers for Moore; Weber for Moore. • • • • ***** • • • • • • SCHOOL NOTES • • • 44999299***%%%*% COUNTY W. C. T. U.

Two years ago the Minnehaha district won $30 on a community farm produce display at the Uma tilla Project Fair and at a later date last fall it was voted to use the money to purchase two show cases which would be used in the display of cooked foods during the fair. The committee bought two show cases, one four feet long and another eight teet long; later another will be bought to furnish adequate show case space. These show cases will be a great aid in protecting the food from ex posure and the district is to be con gratulated in using the prize money in this way. On the Air Council Considers Ordinance.
