A cleaned-up reading of the newspaper page: spelling and layout repaired, one story lifted off a crowded page. It follows the original closely but it is not a transcription. The original page is below; read it if a detail matters.
The game with Richland last Friday was won by Kennewick with a score of 7 to 0. It was a closely fought contest and neither side scored until the last quarter, when Odell made a forward pass to Anderson, which resulted in a touchdown. Odell kicked a goal from the field. Those who played on the team were: Christensen, Odell, Johnson, Rounds, Howard Paul, Lincoln, Harry Hannity, Wm. Sly, Brace, Cox, Allan Paul, Perry Soth, and Dickinson.
“It was a closely fought contest and neither side scored until the last quarter.”
The rivalry between Kennewick and Richland high schools is one of the oldest in the Tri-Cities. Even a century ago, the local outcome of a 7-0 game was a major event for the civic spirit of the two fledgling towns.
