Published by The Dalles High School Students, December 1922. FOOTBALL pages 51 - 55 Goldendale (Washington) Defeats The Dalles The Dalles high football aggregation tasted defeat for the first time this season at the hands of the snappy Goldendale eleven Saturday, November 18, at Brown field, Goldendale, by the score of 18 to 13. By virtue of the win Goldendale clinched the honors for the Mid-Columbia. Both teams played good ball, and Goldendale won the game by breaks. The break came in the last minute of play when Camlend of Goldendale pulled a statue play and got away for 20 yards. Camlend completed a pass that put the ball on The Dalles' one-yard line, after the whistle had blown, the full-back of Goldendale shoved the ball over the line which gave the winning touchdown. Time after time, the Goldendale halves broke through The Dalles line, only to be stopped by R. Van Orman, The Dalles safety, who never missed a tackle. The Dalles men were not up to their usual form in the game and played brilliantly in streaks, but failed to hold in the crises. The Dalles team did not show its old time fight any time during the contest, only when they would get their backs to the goal line, they would fight like tigers. Those who played a good game for The Dalles were: Cooper, H. Van Orman, and O. Mann on the line, and Wilcox, Esping, R. Van Orman and Davis in the backfield. Wilcox played a good game at quarter until injuries caused him to be taken from the game. The only substitutions made during the entire game for The Dalles were E. Mann at tackle for Gibson and K. Stone at quarter for Wilcox. The Dalles' first touchdown came in the end of the first quarter when, after advancing the ball to the 10-yard line, they lost it on failure to make yardage. Goldendale punted with The Dalles blocking kick with Bolton, falling on the ball. After making 8 yards in three downs, with 2 yards to go Wilcox went over for the first touchdown on a sneak play. Esping failed to kick goal. On the next kick-off due to an error of a few Dalles' players, Kaiser, fullback of the Goldendale aggregation skirted the side line the entire distance of the field for a touchdown. Goldendale failed to convert goal. Score, The Dalles 6, Goldendale 6. The Dalles' second touchdown came in the second quarter after the Goldendale line had failed to hold on a punt, and The Dalles boys broke through and blocked it, with Cramer recovering on the 5-yard line. Esping carried the ball over on the next play for a touchdown and also converted goal. A few minutes after the opening of the second half, Goldendale attempted a drop-kick which failed to go over the bar by a few inches. The ball see-sawed back and forth over the field until the last 5 minutes of play when after a series of double criss-crosses, which were very complicated, they put the ball over. Goldendale failed to kick goal. Score, The Dalles 13, Goldendale 12. With about three minutes of time left to play in, Goldendale became desperate for another touchdown and carried the ball up to the three-yard line on criss-crosses, and with 15 seconds left to play in Goldendale lined up very fast and put the ball across, but failed to kick goal. Score Goldendale 18, The Dalles 13. The individual stars of the Goldendale team were Camlend at quarter and Kaiser at full, Camlend seemed to be able to go through The Dalles line at any time he wished, as he made some wonderful runs around the ends. The line-up of the teams was as follows: The Dalles - Ends, Mann and Bolton; tackles, Cramer and Gibson; guards, Cooper and Jameson; center, H. Van Orman; quarter, Wilcox; halves, Davis and R. Van Orman; full, Esping. Goldendale - Ends, Collins and Musgrave; tackles, Dayton and Riley; guards, Teb and Coffield; center, Mort; quarter, Camlend; halves, Brunner and Wheeler; full, Kaiser.
