1920 W. S. Li. S. 29 - WHITE SALMON vs. AMERICAN LEGION Our first game was with the American Legion of White Salmon. It was to be a practice game with us and it surely showed that we needed prac- tice, as the score was very close, 23 to 16, in our favor. The game was played with the agreement of winner take all of the gate receipts. Con- sequently a few Legion fellows were sore because of the outcome. BICKLETON AT WHITE SALMON Our second game was staged with Bickleton High on the home floor. Bickleton had a strong team and many were looking for the Crimson and White to go down to defeat. As always, W. S. H. S. upset the dope and came out on the 'long end of a 33 to 16 score. WHITE SALMON AT STEVENSON We journed to Stevenson for the first league game. The game was played with three of White Salmon's boys sick with the flu. During the first half we held Stevenson even, but could not hold the pace so the Stegcenson boys romped away in the second half and came out winners, 31 o . WHITE SALMON AT HOOD RIVER The second league game was played at Hood River, before the flu victims of the teams were fully recovered. During the first half, White Salmon waltzed away with the game, the score being 20 to 12. But the lack of endurance combined with a few luck shots by Hood River, enabled them to carry off the game with the score 38 to 35. GOLDENDALE AT WHITE SALMON These were the only two games lost during the season by White Sal- mon. The next game was played at home against Goldendale, who after- wards won the pennant. G. H. S. again came down with the expectation of carrying off all honors, but before the first half was finished they probably wished themselves back home. The game was just a nice basket shooting practice for the' W. S. H. S. play-ers for they won easily. Goldendale was hanging on, out of breath and run down, when the whistle blew at the end of the game. The score was 40 to 14, with White Salmon just beginning to get warmed up. WASHOUGAL AT WHITE SALMON Owing to the failure of Manager Johnson to stage a game with a Port- land team, we scheduled a post-season scrap with Washougal High. They were champions of the lower Columbia so we thought they should be worthy opponents of White Salmon. But again the fast boys from our town wiped up the floor with victims, the score reading 30'to 14 with White Sal- mon slowing down and taking things easy in the last half. This game broke a string of 16 consecutive victories for Washougal. The game was fast but full of fouls, a total of 20 being called by Referee Jensen. The White Salmon center was put out of the game after four personals were chalked against him. The Dalles forfeited all their games in the league, thereby robbing White Salmon of another victory on their string. It being late in the sea- son, no more games were scheduled. The victories, due to the excellent coaching ability of Silas Jensen, another successful basket ball season was finished.

1920 W. S. H. S. 31 GAMES 1918-1919 JOHN DICKEY, Manager WARNER HENDERSON, Captain The baseball season opened on the home grounds with Hood River as our opponent. The game was fast and clean. The White Salmon players were able to bang the ball quite frequently but couldn't seem to bunch their hits where they would have meant runs. Hood River slipped over six runs and this enabled them to win the game, score being 6 to 4. The next Friday, we journed to The Dalles, where we received a lacing by a 15 to 4 score. The players were apparently asleep, judging from the way they fielded. The Dalles had a luck day and this, combined with the fact that they were playing on their home grounds, was too much of an ob- stacle for White Salmon to overcome. A post season game was scheduled with Glenwood at that city. As Glenwood was short of players, a few men went in to dll up the vacancies, among which was a Glenwood town team pitcher. This made no difference with the Crimson and White boys, they pounded him for a total of 13 runs to Glenwood's 4. This ended a hard luck season in baseball but with the team still rarin' to go for the next year. Z R R GAMES 1919-1920 ROSCOE BRANAMAN, Manager LOUIS JOHNSON, Captain There did not seem to be much interest in baseball this year but Coach Lowden finally got together a nine just in time to play the first league game with Goldendale. WHITE SALMON AT GOLDENDALE White Salmon again proved to be a jinx to Goldendale, winning the six inning contest by a 11 to 1 score. The game was called at the end of the sixth so that White Salmon could catch the train. THE DALLES AT WHITE SALMON Two weeks later The Dalles came down to play us. It was a good game, the score being 4 to 1 in The Dalles favor, until the eighth when the White Salmon pitcher's arm gave out. He pitched a fine brand of baseball up to that inning. These are the only games played before this annual was printed there- fore we can only hope that this season of baseball is successful.
