Such gossip was largely based on the facts that Ione is a considerably smaller school than Hermiston and the local boys made a good showing against Athena two weeks ago. However, an event that transpired last Tuesday completely knocked the props from under the "set-up” ar gument. In scrimmage Moore and Cox tangled in such a way as to force Moore to limp into the shower for about a three weeks’ vacation on account of suffering a sprained ankle the second casualty of the season Driscoll being the first player to be injured. Losing Moore from the squad was tantamount to removing the main spring from a clock and ex pecting it to tick. But notwithstanding this mishap is not going to keep the Bull Dogs confined to their kennel. The trou ble happened in time to give Coach Hal Hatton time to administer some effective first aid using the substi tute formula. Jendrzejewski will take Moore’s place in the regular line-up and it will be remembered that he all but slipped through the Athena team tor a touchdown in the first game of the season as well as showing remarkable aptitude for gaining yardage. Consequently when Coach Hal Hatton unleashes his Bull Dogs Fri day afternoon they will be clicking despite the recent casualty, and no doubt even better than In the At- hena game as two weeks seasoning has made a vast Improvement on the team as a whole. However, the Ione squad will be plenty tough. They have practically the same team as last year, which made a credit- able showing under the coaching of Tucker. ********** • HIGH SCHOOL NOTES ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦«♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*« Miss Margaret Elliott has select ed the following students to take parts In the junior play: Mary Burn ham, Elva Stamper, Bill Jackson, Ruth Dodd, Maxine Paul, Fred Ran kin, Eleanor Dawson, Charlotte Ralph, Barbara Reid, Wanda Need les, Dale Carson, Herbert Skovbo, Archie Fry and Alton Sisson.

Wheat League Heads Drive; Pen dleton Meet October 19 ; Committeemen Named. A series of seven local meetings in as many counties in eastern Oregon to acquaint wheat growers with the attempt being made to raise railroad rates, has been called by J. B. Adams of Moro, president of the Eastern Oregon Wheat League. The meeting at the rate of two a day, will be held in The Dalles, Moro, Condon, Hepp ner. Pendleton, La Grande and Wal lowa. The meeting for Umatilla county will be held In Pendleton at 2:00 o’clock, October 19. Local arrangements for each meet ing will be made by the elected com mitteemen of the Wheat League in the respective counties. At each meeting President Adams will ex plain the rate situation as it is now being argued before the Interstate commerce commission, and will show by actual figures what the increase, if granted, would mean to each coun ty In the wheat belt. He will also be prepared to show how the pro posed Increase would affect the rates on commodities others than wheat in which growers are interested. The meetings are being held to acquaint the growers with the gravity of the situation and to enlist their co-op eration in conducting an effective fight against the proposed rate changes. Arthur Geary of Portland, attor ney for the Farm Rate council, of which the Eastern Oregon Wheat League is one of the member organ izations, is now in Washington re presenting the northwest in opposi tion to the proposed rate boosts. It is expected that further hearings on the matter will be held, possibly in the Pacific northwest, when it will be necessary for those who are opposed to the changes to be ade quately represented and prepared with facts to combat the railroad’s plea, says President Adams. All in terested growers will be welcome at these meetings, whether they are now members of the wheat league or not. The complete schedule follows, to gether with the name of the county committeeman in each case: Wednesday. October 17—The Dal les, 2:00 o’clock; Harry B. Pinker ton, committeeman.
