RED HEADS REGISTER WIN OVER MEN MALES OF GAC
All-American Girls Defeat Goldendale Town Team 25 to 21 Before Capacity Crowd; Fire Five Fail To Halt Flashy Females In First Quarter Of Game
All five of them may not have been red headed but otherwise the All-American girls that defeated Goldendale Athletic club's mere men here Thursday night lived right up to the letter of their advance reputation. Maintaining a slight lead almost from the first whistle the Red Heads defeated the best basketball material Goldendale's male citizenry had to offer. The final score was Red Heads 25, G.A.C. 21.
Starting out against the old time Firemen five of Mart Spalding, Ez Kaiser, Roy Kaiser, Ted Guinan and Crede Watson, the girls gained an 11 to 8 lead at the close of the opening quarter. Failing to falter when a fresh G.A.C. lineup was inserted at the beginning of the second quarter the All-Americans continued to build up a lead against the first string Goldendale five.
Fine Passing
Some excellent shooting on the part of a tall forward named Gladys Lommler, coupled with a smoother passing attack than the Goldendale town has shown at any time this season, the Red Heads maintained their lead without apparent effort.
Goldendale's shooting became progressively worse as the game advanced. In the final quarter the G.A.C. club missed at least a dozen easy cripples. Crede Watson with 6 points led the Goldendale scorers followed by Guinan and Moore, who each caged four.
Record Crowd
Lommler, of the Red Heads, scored 11 points while Vickers, Red Head guard scored seven. While Goldendale used 10 men in the contest the Red Heads went ironman and played the entire route with their starting five.
A capacity crowd estimated at approximately 500 filled the Goldendale high school gym to watch the heralded All-Americans.

SMITH - WATSON
For nearly a year a couple of local folks kept their wedding a secret from both friends and relatives, but finally concluded this week to surprise the families and friends with their story. Last February, while Miss Adria Smith visited with her aunt at Centralia, Crede Watson motored over to that city, where they went to Olympia Presbyterian parsonage and were quietly married, February 19, 1928. As the bride was taking a nurse's training course at the Good Samaritan hospital in Portland, they concluded to keep their marriage a secret while she continued with her studies. Mrs. Watson will return home Sunday to nurse her sister Doris, who has been quite ill with the flu.
The young couple are graduates from the Goldendale high school, class of 1926, and had known each other since childhood. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.A. Smith of this city, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Babe Watson. They will make their home in Goldendale for the present.
The Sentinel joins with the friends of the young couple in wishing them a happy future.

The Goldendale Sentinel, November 5, 1925:
The freshmen gave their return mixer Friday evening in the form of a Halloween masquerade. The grand march took place at 7:30, after which the following prizes were awarded: The best dressed person, Kathryn Allison, representing a girl of '49; the most comical person, Earl Henry; the best sustained character, Katherine Willis. A vaudeville was one of the most interesting forms of entertainment. Crede Watson and Amos Coley showed great talent in their tumbling act. Alice Collins and Kenneth McKee entertained us with dances. Among several other novelties, some recognized Miss Herman, 6th grade teacher, as a fortune teller, who told several persons some interesting, as well as new facts, concerning themselves. At 9 o'clock refreshments were served. Kenneth McKee says, "The frosh mixer was a success and a failure, according to school gossip, but I think it safe to say that everyone there enjoyed a good time."
