| Whitman 0.
The University of Washington foot
ball team simply walked all over
Whitman in the game Saturday after
noon played on the U. of w. grounds,
the state boys scored two touch
downs in the first half, and four more
in the second, converting five of the
six into goals. The Seattle Post-In-
telli'gencer had the following account
cs the game:
Whitman never even came close to
scoring. The ball got within ten
yards of Washington's goal line once,
but it was kicked there and with
| Washington's defense practically i'm
penetratable the visitors could not
have scored by any possibility.
! What Mcdonald Did.
| Mcdonald scored one touchdown,
blocked a kick that resulted in anoth-
err. and, picking up the ball on fum-
bled kick, ran 50 yards down the field
to within a yard and half of the
Whitman goal, the next two plays
sending the ball over for third score
In addition to this he was the biggest
part of the interference when Tibbals
ran a kickoff back so yards, putting
no less than six men out Of the play.
| He broke through on every kick and
stopped pretty nearly every play that
was sent at him. By the end Of next
season it will be shame to put Nc
Donald against another team.
| Captain Speidell played the second
half in a crippled condition, although
no one knew that he was seriously
hurt except himself. He had his side
injured and then was kicked on the
head, so that for a good portion of the
half McElmOn had to tell him what
signals to give. Yet, although he was
half senseless, he passed the ball per-
fectly and headed his interference in
the style which is entirely his own.
After the game was over Speidell col
lapsed utterly and lay stretched out
on bench in the dressing room. cry
ing and groaning and half out Of his
head. He recovered within half an
hour, however, and will be back in the
game within a couple Of days.
| Lantz is nursing a sprained ankle
the second half McEImon took his
place at full and Bagshaw went to left
| half.
| Whitman Captain Hurt.
| Brown the Whitman captain, was
injured and taken from the game early
| in ho1 loft or
replaced Brainard at quarter. Brain
ard was struck on the head and taken
off the field unconscious.
| Washington showed a marked SUI
periority in condition. The men came
on the field for the second half per-
fectly fresh, while the visitors slowed
up even in the first half They called
for time for injured men repeatedly
throughout the game.
| The detailed story of the game
would be nothing but mOnotony. for
| Washington made her gains about as
she pleased, and Whitman failed to
make hers about as Washington pleas
ed.
Washingtons biggest fault was her
Wretched fumbling in the first half
She lost at least three more touch
downs by it. 1t was simply execrable
| Time and time again she would get
within striking distance of the enc
my's goal, only to lose the ball mex
cusably. Coach knight made a few
pointed remarks to the men between
halves, which are understood to have
referred to the possibility of some of
| them losing their places on the team,
and fumbling was scarce in the sec
Ond half.
First touchdown Made.
| Washington scored her first ,ouch-
down in six minutes, McElmon doing
the trick after series of tackle and
end plays. The ball changed hands
half a dozen times on miserable fumb-
ling and off-side plays and then Wash
ington steadied down and sent Lantz
over for number two, IA minutes after
the first.
In the second half WASHINGTON
kicked off to Whitman's five-yard line
and the collegians failed to run it back
more than 10 yards. They were forced
! to kick, after being thrown back a
couple of times for losses, almost from
under their goal posts. Mcdonald
simply tore his way through the op-
posing line and blocked the kick and
the ball bounded back of the line
Half dozen men piled On it and when
the knot was untangled Grim was
found at the bottom of the pile, with
the ball in his arms. Time, two min
utes.
The kickoff went outside and it had
to be done over. Tibbalfs got the ball
J and, with Mcdonald as his mainstay
