Last week there was some foun
dation for the rumor that the Her-
miston-Ione game to be played to-
day on the local field at 2:45
o'clock would be a set-up for the
Bull Dogs. 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

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-

the team as a whole. However, the

They have practically the same team
as last year, which made a credit-
able showing under the coaching of

EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS SCHED
ULED IN SEVEN CITIES.
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:
