PARENTS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS
CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING
Here Saturday.
After emerging victorious from
the football game with Pilot Rock,
12-0, which was played here before
a large fair day crowd, Saturday,
the Hermiston high football team is
preparing to play host to the Athena
eleven here, Fridry, October 14. The
Athena team defeated the Bulldogs
earlier in the season 6-0.
The stores will be cloned from
2:30 to 4:00 o’clock Friday for the
game.
The Bulldog team will be weak
ened by the loss of several players,
who were iniured in th Pilot Rock
game, but Hermiston will be out for
revenge when the whistle blows Fri
day. The Athena team won the pre
vious game by a long pass, while the
Bulldogs are said to have been the
stronger on end runs and Une plays.
During the first quarter of the
game here Saturday neither team
was able to make yardage; both
teams lost the ball several times due
to funbles. Tlie second quarter, how-
ever, brought out the Bulldog’s
power. Having succeeded in putting
the pigskin on Pilot Reek's 20 yard
line by a long kick by Stewart the
Bulldogs held the Rockets two plays
'or no gain. On the Pilot Rocks third
own Hermiston recovered a fumble
ind in the following play Hamman
vent for a touchdown after plowing
hrough the line. Try for goal tailed.
During the third quarter Hunt
intercepted a Pilot Rock pass on the
29 yard line ami on the next play
made a wide end run which, due to
perfect blocking, was good for a
touchdown.
The Pilot Rock game was won by
excellent team work and invincible
fighting spirit; the same qualities,
always the Bulldog’s chief asset, are
depended on to win the Athena
game.

irds of Bitter Creek, and George

to know the reason for such merri

expected to see such signs In every
