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:
